Do come in.
Welcome to the hidden stage.
Here, the stakes are high.
If you fail the mission at the hidden stage,
there are serious consequences.
You'll be forced to give up all your Pieces except one.
-Should've given them away. Damn it. -Now,
it's time for me to explain your mission in the hidden stage.
Here, you'll be playing a game called
the Knight's Tour.
The unique challenge of Knight's Tour is to move your knight around a board
according to traditional chess rules,
but you have to pass through every square on the board only once.
The piece you see in front of you right now is your knight.
Choose your strategy wisely
because the game will officially begin after your first move.
In case you need a refresher on the rules of chess,
a knight must move two spaces in one direction,
then one more to either side, forming an L shape.
If you land on a square you've already hit,
or you can't make any more valid moves before you've finished,
the board will be reset completely
and you'll be forced to start that round over again.
The mission consists of three rounds in total.
You'll begin on a 6x6 chess board,
then move to a 7x7, and then, finally, an 8x8,
which means the game will become more difficult with each round.
Damn it, I should've done an 8x8.
If you can finish all three rounds within the 60 minutes allotted,
you'll have completed the mission.
And now, it's time to reveal the board for round one of the Knight's Tour.
Four, five, six,
18, 24.
Good thing I completely memorized the 6x6 and 7x7.
You have successfully completed Round 1.
Now, it's time to reveal the board for Round 2.
One, two, three,
four, five, six,
nine, ten,
15.
Seven, twenty five…
Wait, what's next?
I was a little confused.
Being on that big board
is a whole different ball game than doing it on paper.
Three, four, five, six, seven, eight, nine, ten,
11, 12, 13, 14, 15,
16, 17, 18,
19, 20, 21,
22, 23, 24.
25, 26, 27, 28,
31, 37, 41.
Two, three, four, five, six, seven, eight.
Two, three, four,
five, six,
seven, eight, nine.
You've successfully completed Round 2.
Now, I'll reveal the board for the third and final round.
Here goes nothing.
Four, eight…
six, thirty six, thirty six, that makes one lap.
I was thinking back to when So-hui figured out the pattern
and how it changes.
So I'm not sure exactly where the pattern falls apart,
but I think the pattern for 9x9 is the pattern for 7x7 minus 1.
I don't know why. I don't the principles.
I'm not even certain I'm right.
-In your notebook? -Yes.
-…15, 16, 17. -15. Okay, go here.
-Aren't any end arrays… -23…
-…it just continues in a regular array? -…24, it turns at 24.
-No, it turns once. -It turns at 24 and…
-Ah, it turns there. -And…
Where does 26 go?
One,
two,
three,
four,
five,
six,
seven, eight,
nine, ten.
11, 12, 13,
14, 15, 16,
17, 18,
19, 20, 21,
22, 23, 24…
24, here?
25 on the 7x7…
Okay, hang on.
One, two, three, four…
Suddenly, the original pattern was blocked.
I'd just assumed if it worked for six and seven, it would work for eight.
Big mistake.
18, 19, 20,
21, 22, 23…
Shoot, now what?
Ugh, I knew I should've tried an 8x8.
Why didn't I give it a shot? Damn it.
Okay, 13… Huh?
Ah, crap. Yeah, I did it wrong.
Take it slow.
There's gonna be trouble if Hyun-gyu doesn't come out.
-Why're you worried? -Think about it.
-Guy's a killer whale. -He ends up the other side…
-Killer whale? Cold. -…that's trouble for us.
-He's dangerous. -Why?
If he ends up on that side, it'll be dangerous for us in the next main match.
20,
21, 22,
23, 24.
Got to 24.
When it's symmetrical,
stick to the middle.
That's five.
And four.
If you make a wrong move, you wind up way off the mark.
You gotta start slow,
then scope things out.
Three, four… uh, five, six, seven…
Damn it. Confused.
Here, then here, then here…
There's a limit to how far you can go like that.
So then I thought I might be able to mark it.
I only have blotting paper.
Then…
I gotta do a whole lap?
Is there a draft? They're blowing around.
The pattern, it's symmetrical.
Get to the center.
Hmm.
Okay, I'm gonna check it again.
This isn't good.
It's been 20 minutes or a half hour?
-Doesn't feel that long. -20 minutes? Really?
-Been 20 and he's not out? -Losing sense of time.
-Yeah, guess it has. -Yeah, at least 20 minutes.
Hey, don't sigh like that.
-No, never mind. I… -Read the room.
I was trying to let go of some stress.
Thus far in Round 3,
Hyun-gyu has already moved the knight 46 times,
and spent a lot of time thinking.
The question is, is it just a detour on the road to victory?
Or did he take a wrong turn a while ago, leaving him with no path to the end?
Shoot, there's nowhere to go.
Ah, damn it.
One.
I've never been good at tests.
I didn't get into my first-choice college
'cause I made a stupid mistake on my CSAT answer sheet.
That's how this feels.
One.
Two.
One.
How'd I get here?
Okay, just one more. One more. Come on.
Where's the last one?
If it's taking this long, Hyun-gyu…
-Think he's done? -Yeah.
-I don't. -Can't say for sure if he's still there.
-But I think the mission is over. -If it's taking this long,
-then it's already over. -Definitely. I think it's over.
I guess we do know he hasn't been eliminated,
so we'll just have to wait until tomorrow.
-Nothing else we can do. -No reason to get rid of his luggage yet.
-He's just not coming back tonight. -Yeah, that's true.
I really doubt he's coming back tonight.
I wasted a lot of time.
I think I could've solved it faster if I had some paper,
but I didn't.
Ugh, I'm so confused.
Oh, hang on. Wait a sec.
Hold on. One, two…
I think I've got it.
Three, four…
Stuck again?
You gotta be kidding.
I go left here, go right there,
and then this'd be on the left.
Man, maybe I should've just started over.
Okay, breathe. Calm down.
Go slow. One last try.
10, 11, 12, 13, 14,
fiftee…Here we go.
Damn. Last chance.
One, two, three…
four, five, six…
Next is…
One, two, three, four, five, six…
Hang on.
That's not it.
Okay, calm down. Calm down. You can do this.
Nice and easy.
Slow down. No stupid mistakes.
Mission accomplished.
THE DEVIL'S PLAN DEATH ROOM
I was pretty confident about the pattern I'd learned
because it wound up being symmetrical.
In any game of Knight's Tour,
if you do one full lap, it makes a symmetrical pattern on the board.
So when I followed the pattern I knew,
eventually, I saw that I was close to a solution
'cause there was symmetry on the board.
So I got more confident.
I think my style of play's gonna change after this.
I hope I don't go to prison, even though I kinda want to.
All right, tomorrow, I'm going down there.
Hey, that's a whole different thing. We have to work together right now.
What do you mean? I'm going down there tomorrow.
You don't need to do that.
-To be honest… -You really think we were like,
"oh, let's betray Justin," during the main match?
-Well, you did betray me. -Here we go.
-Both of you did. -You really think
-they betrayed you? -Of course I do.
And by the way, in the game we just played,
three of them betrayed us.
-Who did? -These three, obviously.
These people betrayed us.
I didn't wanna play five against one.
Then I got a different offer and all I did was okay it.
'Cause these two were already aiming to take half ea--
Then how did you guys work together? Three of you?
-How did you actually set it up? -We divided it into multiples of three.
-Right, yeah. -She took 1 and 4.
-She took 2 and 5… -I had to say yes.
Because they were already gunning for half each. If I didn't join--
Think carefully.
If the three of you banded together,
there's a really good chance none of you would be eliminated.
-But what about us? -Exactly, Se-dol,
so tell us how you really feel about it,
-about the three of them betraying us. -It's coming together now.
There was an alliance this whole time.
-Some secret alliance, right? -I want answers. What's going on?
Listen, all I did was make a break for the line and then I got killed.
The reason I thought it would be good to ally with Hyun-joon and Eun-yu
was because earlier in the day, we were having trouble communicating with Se-dol,
and it created real problems with the other team.
Nothing like that happened during the match.
I mean, of course I want to reassure him and tell him nothing happened,
but now I find out that the three of you have been conspiring against us,
so it's hard to know.
I don't know if it was because of the alliance, but,
in the end, I didn't finish first, and Sang-yeon was eliminated.
Either way, it's not right.
At this point, Se-dol is the only one I trust. Just good ol' Se-dol.
-Wait, listen. -The lady doth protest--
But we never helped the other team.
Actually, if anything, we were asking them for help.
-Like, "Sorry. Please help us." -We never helped them.
-Cross my heart. -He's telling the truth.
From now on, the only person I trust is Se-dol.
So what are we going to do about this?
Justin said he's gonna go in.
-What're you talking about? I'm here too. -I said I'm going.
-He's going, right? -And I wanna go in too.
-Uh, I-- -Ha-rin, what're you thinking?
Well, I'm pretty shocked and appalled by what Justin just said.
So if he wants to go for it, I say knock yourself out, buddy.
Okay, not interested. That leaves four of us.
If anyone's going to go for it,
I think it should be the person with the least Pieces
so they can have the chance to redeem themselves.
Right now, that's me and Eun-yu.
But I think we're both just afraid because we have no idea what's inside.
How are we going to decide which one of us is going to go in?
Rock, Paper, Scissors? Should we draw straws or something?
-A short straw is my nightmare right now. -Pretty ominous.
We do have plenty of time. That's the upside to all this.
-Best three out of five? -Sure.
He's back! Guys, look, he's back!
Hyun-gyu!
-Hey! -Oh, my God. Look at you.
You guys, I did it.
-All right! -Nice, dude!
Yep.
But they didn't give me anything for it.
-What? How does that work? -Well, they said something about
-helping in the final round. Yeah. -Really?
-They're going to give it then? -Yeah.
-You get it later? -I think.
But if you don't make it, you get nothing?
-Wow, I can't believe you're back! -Think so.
-What? No way! -Yeah!
-I did it. Yeah. -Turn by turn, from the start?
We don't have to memorize it anymore.
-Amazing. Congratulations. -So they didn't give you any Pieces?
-Nothing. -Oh, man.
Oh, my gosh, you guys. I seriously thought I was seeing things for a second
when this pale figure suddenly appeared
-in the doorway. -I'm exhausted.
Wait, hold on. What the…
-It's 11:00. -That startled me.
It's just 'cause it's 11:00. Thought it was another elimination.
-My heart is pounding. -Mine too.
So Hyun-gyu, is there another area?
Yeah, it was a completely different space.
-Wow. -Pitch black. There was a counter
-that I had to-- -You have to mark it with your hand?
-Like this? -No, with my body.
-Oh, so you had to move like this? -Kinda.
So I had to use all my blotting paper.
I marked my path with it.
Is he back?
-He's back! -Heck yeah. He's back!
Give him a hug.
Oh, God.
Man, it made me so damn happy to see you walk through that door.
-Yeah, this is amazing. -Yeah, 'cause…
Okay, so Rock, Paper, Scissors?
Since there are four of us, let's play first to two.
-No one should lose after one round. -Fair enough.
We knew one of us had to go,
so we wanted to just get it all over with
which is why we decided on Rock, Paper, Scissors.
-On brand for The Devil's Plan. -Okay.
-Fair and square. High stakes. -Okay.
-You wanna be the ref here? -Okay.
-Why am I so nervous? -Maybe because
your life depends on it.
And if you don't play, you lose. Rock, paper, scissors, shoot!
Ugh!
-Brutal. -God, why did you all go right for paper?
Okay, here we go.
Rock, paper, scissors, shoot!
Ugh!
Should've picked rock. Why didn't I do rock?
All right. Rock, paper, scissors, shoot!
-What? I can barely watch. -This is so intense.
Hang on, let's do it like this. Stand back to back.
Ready, guys? Rock, paper, scissors, shoot!
-Yes! -Oh, my God.
-One win. One win? -Amazing!
It's okay, it's just one win.
Ready, everyone? Rock, paper, scissors, shoot!
-Man, I lost. -It's not fair.
-Nice! -Aw, crap!
-It's good. They're predictable. -Why're you all obsessed with rocks?
All right, guys. Rock, paper, scissors, shoot!
-Come on, man! -One more time?
…paper, scissors, shoot!
-Ah, Hyun-joon. -Whoo!
You gotta be kidding.
Okay, one win.
I'm actually scared about going down there.
Now, on top of that, now I'm scared of all you guys too.
-Let's do it. -I need to win at least one.
-Let's get a win. -Ready?
Rock, paper, scissors, shoot!
Hang on, what?
That's rock. That's rock, right?
-You win. Whoo! -Unbelievable.
Well played, everyone.
-Come on, really? -Good job, guys.
Well, I guess it's gonna be me.
-Don't forget about us. -I hope you get ten Pieces
and come back to play with us tomorrow.
Well, since I have no idea what's down there…
-Are you okay? -I have to be.
Seung-hyun was one of the aces in our prison gang.
She was so smart and honest.
I thought she would make it out.
I thought she'd go down there and come back in a blaze of glory.
Truth is, I have no idea what's lurking down there now.
-What a relief. -Cheers! Bottoms up!
-You've been through a lot, dude. -Good job, Hyun-gyu!
-Good work, bro. -Well, we all made it to the second night.
We've earned some celebrating.
I was hoping we could've done this earlier.
-We were too tired on the first night. -I was nervous, too.
-But that was 'cause of the mission. -That's why
-Hyun-gyu went today. -That's why I stayed today too.
You know, the people who are in jail have been there the whole time.
If they end up coming here,
they're gonna get a taste of what it's like to live here,
-and be so thrilled. -Gonna be a huge contrast for them
-for sure. -Then prison's gotta be so depressing.
-But even there, it's the second day. -I don't know.
-So the mood's… -Think it's the same?
Yeah, but don't forget,
the living conditions might suck and they might be suffering…
-Similar to us. They're definitely bonded. -…but that brings people together.
I hope none of us have to go.
Guess that's unlikely.
It's so nice to hear that come out of Hyun-gyu's mouth.
To be honest, man, we were worried sick while we were waiting.
I'm the youngest now.
-I'm like the little brother. -We were really worried about you.
I was just waiting for you.
-Couldn't sleep. -Anything you need, just ask.
He beat you here.
Hey, Se-dol, remember how you kept saying we have to get rid of one of them?
Okay, so let's just say I really wanted to go after someone tomorrow,
would you be open to helping me out with that?
Oh, yeah, I love that kind of thing.
Oh, is that right?
Say no more. You had me at "go after someone."
I wanna get a lot tougher starting tomorrow.
-I was a little scared of Ha-rin today. -Yeah, she is something else, huh?
Yeah, she is. She sure is.
-She's like those scary dolls… -Sometimes, you feel…
-…that come to life. -…like she's gonna come
and whisper in your ear, "I will end you."
No, we need to kill 126.
We need to just kill them all. Now.
If you come up against her in a match,
-I'm telling you, she's vicious. -Yeah, she knows strategy. Yep.
-Right? It's no picnic. -So true.
I could take her.
It'd be great to see them go head to head. Her and Hyun-gyu.
She's really playing a character.
I think they've all got their own character.
I think I'm too normal. I come across as just a regular guy.
-Define "normal." -Are you serious?
-An ordinary person. -Ordinary people. We're too ordinary.
-Too ordinary. -I think we're pretty normal.
-Actually, I think So-hui's extraordinary. -You think you're normal?
-Oh, right. -So-hui is very special.
That explains why we saw you acting like this.
-Just staring at the floor. -I told you that…
Catatonic or something. Just totally frozen.
-"I got it. I solved it, guys." -Yeah.
The one who's made it so we can all go home.
-Really pretty. -Let's go to bed.
Listen, it's true. You're so unique.
-You're a character. -Come on.
-You can't fit in with the normies. -Hey.
Kyuhyun, are you jealous?
-Your face… -Are you jealous of her?
-You're such a normie. -You wanna be special?
-You're way too ordinary. -Ah, Ji-yeong.
-He looks a little down. -I got a raw deal.
-I hate that I was born so damn normal. -We're go-getters.
You just seem jealous that she's getting all the attention.
-That's what your face is telling me. -He's not happy.
-He's seething. -I don't care about that.
I just don't like being ordinary. I don't need the spotlight.
-He's hurt. -You gotta have a scary aura.
-Should we wind down? -Okay.
-Yeah, it's getting late. -Gotta be fresh tomorrow.
This was so nice.
-It was a lot of fun. -Good work, everybody.
-Have a good night, everyone. -You too.
Good night. Sleep tight. Sweet dreams, y'all.
-Get some rest, guys. -Night, everyone.
-Okay, good night. -Night.
Don't worry about a thing.
'Cause every little thing's gonna be all right.
Okay, good night.
We're gonna need plenty of energy.
Let's kill it tomorrow.
We gotta go for broke.
I really wanna start fresh tomorrow.
Try something new.
I'm gonna stick with you.
-Okay. -And I wanna take down Ha-rin.
She's a little nuts, you know?
-In a good way. -Guess so.
Uh-huh. Can you do that thing real quick?
What thing?
See ya in the morning.
You can move the squares up, down, left or right, and then put up a wall.
-Nice. Oh, interesting. -Yeah, uh-huh. Yep.
Interesting?
Time to eat.
Oh, it's breakfast already?
-Should we wake him up? -You see him?
Hyun-joon always sleeps like a log.
I'll probably be the skinniest I've ever been by the time I get out of here.
Oh, geez. I'm nervous.
I mean, I am putting my life on the line, I guess.
Never fear. I'm always ready to step in.
Yeah, I'm ready to go too.
Rock, Paper, Scissors, anyone?
Did you sleep okay?
Yeah, better than yesterday.
Anyway, even if someone has to come here from the living area,
it'll be one or two of them at most.
-Mm-hmm. -And if that's the case,
all we have to do is totally bury them in the prison match, right?
"Bury them?"
Dr. Kim, does the Hippocratic Oath allow you to bury people alive?
Oh, come on! Don't drag Hippocrates into this!
Pretty sure he wouldn't approve though.
I think I should definitely go for it.
I mean, I'm barely hanging on.
And if I'm gonna get sent home, I might as well see what's inside first.
But yeah. I'm freaked out.
The ceilings are like ten meters high, right?
Whoa.
-Good morning. -Good morning.
I guess we're going to see what's coming up.
The challenge…
-I don't think they did it. -You think they…
-Nah. -Think Se-dol could have resisted trying?
I don't know.
-Ready? -Yep.
-He's ready. -Okay, let's go.
Once I'm down there
-I'll feel better. -Careful, Hyun-joon.
Well, I hope God's on my side for this one.
I've got goose bumps.
-Goose bumps. -All right.
If this is it then, it was nice knowing you…
Okay. Come here.
We've been together since the beginning of day one.
-Good luck. -Since the first day.
-Let's meet again when this is all over. -Come back, okay?
We'll be waiting.
-When you get back, let's wipe them out. -You'll be back.
Well, is it time?
-You good to go? -Ooh, am I really doing this?
-You can do it. -I can?
-You can do it. You got this! -Make sure you cover it up.
Okay.
See you.
-Bye. Good luck! -Bye. Be safe!
Good luck!
Come back alive.
He'll nail it, right?
FILMED IN INFRARED AS IT IS PITCH BLACK
What is this?
What the heck?
God, I can't see anything.
This the right way?
What the…
What's that noise?
What is it? Damn. Come on.
Ah, please. Someone.
What is that?
Come on.
I kept thinking, "They don't call this the hidden stage for nothing, right?"
I put everything on the line, so I knew the reward would be huge.
But my chances were still really slim,
so I went in there assuming it would be my last day.
What the heck is this?
Oh, my God.
No way.
I mean, is this right?
Gosh.
It felt like the cargo hold of a ship, and I was like,
"What kind of challenge are they gonna make me do in this cramped little box?"
What's going on?
-Please enter. -Whoa. It's flooded… What the…
What's going on?
Oh, my God.
Until I got inside, I thought it was gonna be Knight's Tour.
I'd been memorizing the order right up to the moment I went into the manhole.
But when I got down there and saw something totally different,
I was like, "I'm in big trouble."
The first thing that caught my eye
were some pictures drawn on some of the bricks.
Pictures of animals.
There was a fox. A picture of some ice.
A picture of an arrow, something like a xylophone,
and the blocks toward the bottom had colors on them.
Right off the bat I was trying to make sense of it.
Trying to figure out what the pictures meant.
Geez! That startled me.
You made it.
Welcome to the prison block's infamous hidden stage.
Your mission here is simple.
To succeed and make your escape,
you must put the key in the keyhole you see in front of you and open the safe.
You have exactly ten minutes.
Get ready. This challenge will demand your undivided concentration.
Before you begin, I'll give you a hint to help you succeed at this hidden stage.
Water.
Is it going to fill all the way?
It was so strange.
All the weird murals on the walls.
The water.
It was raining so much I thought I'd have to make the sun rise to stop it,
so I pressed the stone with a sun on it.
I started to think, "Okay, try not to panic. Stay calm."
What the…
But I felt like I had to act fast 'cause water was pouring onto my head.
Oh, I don't think this is right.
The water kept rising.
I didn't really notice it until it came up to my calves.
Then I was like "I'm not doing this right. What do I do?"
And I started to panic.
I need to find the key.
The key.
Which one do I press?
That's it. Your time is up.
You have failed the mission.
Lee Seung-hyun, you've been eliminated.
You must now leave The Devil's Plan.
There's a fox,
a sun,
and a question mark. What?
Oh, wait.
Oh, they all come out.
I thought the key might be hidden in one of the stones.
So I started pushing all of them.
That's all of them.
A fox.
There were a bunch of different animals on the stones,
but the first one I saw was the fox.
Then, when I looked next to it, there was a lightning bolt,
and underneath that was a sun.
It seemed like it was depicting some kind of fairy tale.
I thought maybe it was about a fox who got struck by lightning
and something happened to him.
Fox, lightning, and the sun.
The fox. "Find the key."
The fox.
There's a cat.
Bird,
elephant,
dog,
and a pig.
What's new, pussycat?
Question mark.
"Find the key." What does it mean?
What the heck?
Can I climb up?
Uh…
Oh, what's this? A bird.
And a heart.
"Find the key."
One, two, three, four, five, six, seven, eight, nine, ten…
Find the key. Ten letters.
One, two, three, four, five,
six, seven, eight, nine, ten.
Oh, damn it.
There were ten letters but more than ten stones.
So I knew I had to push specific ones.
Okay.
Reset them first. Push them all back in.
Get 'em all.
All of them.
Come on. Don't give up.
Put 'em back.
"Find."
Oh, F must be for fox.
I looked for pictures that started with the same letters as find.
What's I? That's the sun. That's not it.
What's I?
Oh, ice.
"Find."
F. Fox.
Okay, ice. "Find."
So where's the N then?
N.
Zebra.
This one's an orange.
Bird and cat.
I can't see.
Ah! It's nose!
Nose.
N. D. D.
D, D, D, D, D. This is direction, right? Direction.
T. Tree.
That's H.
H.
Yep, H.
Is this "here"? Here?
When the water rose above my waist it was really hard to focus.
This is, uh… this is dog?
And there's the T for thunder.
This is zebra.
Pig.
And the other problem was
there were some blocks that were pretty low on the wall,
and I couldn't even see them from above.
So I knew it was only going to get worse the longer I took
and the more it filled up with water.
I can't see.
Oh! Oh! There's a heart.
There was a heart under the dog.
It was the H.
I don't think this is direction.
It's right under the dog.
T.
Okay, I got tree.
Yeah, I got tree already. Is this thunder or tree?
Hmm, I think it's probably…
It's gotta be tree.
That's H.
And I've done heart.
E. E.
E!
Elephant. Right.
K.
For knife.
This is yellow. I can barely see it.
Yellow.
Why isn't it moving?
I can't even see it anymore.
It's getting fainter and fainter.
What the hell is this?
What's going on? Oh, my God! What the…
Hold on. Whoa. What's happening?
Wait. What's this?
One of the bricks floated up,
and I looked down toward my feet and there was a green light.
So I knew I had to go underwater one last time.
Whoa!
-Is that it? -You have completed the mission.
Whoa!
No way!
Wow! So this is the key?
Yeah!
Ah! Hell yeah! Let's go! I did it.
When the door opened my emotions were all over the place.
My body was falling apart.
I was a mess.
I couldn't believe I'd gone through that for a few puzzle pieces.
I was like, "Is this really happening?
Is that it? Is the hidden stage really over?"
I honestly couldn't believe it.
I really surprised myself.
You did it!
I never thought I'd be able to force myself to go underwater like that.
It really pushed me to my mental and physical limits.
And I knew I'd be able to go back to jail with my head held high.
Congratulations. You may now take the ten Pieces and return to your cell.
I'm never, ever going to do "A Knight's Tour" again. I swear.
I'm really curious if it's the Knight's Tour.
And I bet at the hidden stage you have to beat it on a life-sized chessboard too.
Probably.
Hey! Open up!
What?
-Hey! -What the heck? Hey!
-Is that coming from here? -Help me!
-What? -Where is he?
Take the cover off!
It's here! Right here!
-What? Amazing! -No way! How do we open it?
Hyun-joon!
You're alive?
-Whoa! -What the…
-Your hair… Seriously! -Whoa. What happened?
Tell us!
Guess it wasn't Knight's Tour.
Wait. Why are you all wet?
-It was crazy. Honestly, it was so scary. -Why?
-Really? -What was it? What happened?
You're locked in a well that's filling with water.
Water is pouring on you from above.
There are a bunch of clues on the walls, but you only get ten minutes.
And as the well fills the clues get submerged.
-You had to go underwater? -Yeah. You have to be able to see them.
There you go. That explains why you're soaked.
-With your eyes open? -Yeah, I had to swim like that.
-You can open your eyes underwater? -Yeah, it was the only way.
-Wow. -I would have failed for sure.
-That's amazing. -You did great. Seriously.
-Wow. -Okay, so what about your reward?
When I opened the safe there were some Pieces inside.
-Oh! -Let's open it.
-Wow! Well deserved, man. -You earned it.
-Nice work. -Okay.
-Wow, he did it. That's incredible. -I'm in tears.
Okay.
-You got ten. -Six, seven, eight… Ten total.
-Ten. Oh, wow. -Wow.
Dude, that means you're in first place now.
-Hyun-joon! -You're gonna go all the way.
-Heck yeah. Let's win this! -You're gonna be the champion!
Man, I really envy Hyun-joon.
How often do you get to experience a win like that?
To be honest, I was a little disappointed.
When we first found the hidden stage I hadn't contributed much,
and I never went in.
Well, nothing I can do about it now.
Hey, Ji-yeong,
how are you communicating with the other team?
Well, I was on the same team as Eun-yu.
Oh, okay, so that's your connection to them.
-Hmm, that's right. -Right.
So that's why Kyuhyun is the way he is with us.
-All of us were on the blue team. -Those bonds don't go away overnight.
-Right. -So for today…
Ha-rin or Eun-yu?
Uh, let's go with Ha-rin.
-For sure? -Yeah.
I mean, I've already played with her, so…
Oh, right, on the green team? I'll talk to Eun-yu too.
Sure. Let's just play it by ear.
Eun-yu's really good too.
We decided we don't need to waste any time talking to the other team.
We should just come up with a strategy ourselves.
It doesn't have to be all us versus them,
but yesterday Ji-yeong and some of the others came to our room,
listened to everything we said and pretended like they were on our side.
But then they stuck with the other team and got first place.
-They played us. -I don't want that to happen again.
It's fine to communicate, but…
-We need to stop giving them information. -We're leaking too much information.
So we should be careful with information, but don't antagonize them too much?
-Exactly. -Now that I have some Pieces,
they're definitely gonna try to approach me.
-You should hear them out. -Listen to them.
I'll try chatting with them a bit and see what I can learn.
There are a lot of crafty people on that side,
so if we wanna survive,
we need to keep them from forming one big alliance against us.
To be honest, when I hear you say that, I'm like…
the way I see it, and I'm really hesitant to say this,
'cause I have almost no Pieces…
But I think we should all have a certain amount of Pieces going into today's match.
I'm not asking you to just hand them over but maybe you could lend me some?
If I lend them to you, you can pay me back once you get a few of your own.
Does that work?
'Cause there's a big difference between having one life and having two.
Come on. Just give her one. Lend her one.
I actually think they might eliminate whoever has the fewest Pieces today.
-I've been thinking the same thing. -We're in it together.
You're a good sport.
-Here. -I feel bad taking these.
-You've been through a lot. -Thank you.
-That's all right. -Okay, I'll pay you back ASAP.
-They're here. -Hey, so…
I want to give you a Piece for helping me open that door earlier.
-Wow. -What? Why?
-It's all right. -Did you get some?
-You didn't get any Pieces? -I didn't.
-No, you hold on to it. -Take it…
Oh, I think this might be about avoiding elimination.
Exactly. You never know. So you keep it.
-Just take one. -Okay, how about this?
After the match today is over, I'll accept it then.
Okay. Kyuhyun, I'll give you one too when I can.
-That's nice. -All right.
-I mean, if you insist. -Thanks, though.
Half of us will end up in prison, won't we?
We might even get eliminated.
-Right. -We just have to keep fighting.
As long as I give it my all, I won't feel bad if I die.
-You know… -Yeah, I think two of us are goners today.
Honestly, we should have spilled more blood yesterday.
-Exile, exile, exile. -You think so?
Yeah.
-They'd all be dead. -We could've killed them all.
-We should have. -You're right.
-Most of us would've survived too. -Uh-uh.
-They're all in here. -Ugh, so many regrets, you know?
Yeah, but we didn't feel like this yesterday, did we?
-No, we didn't. Nope. -No.
I think things have gotten more intense
after we had to watch poor Sang-yeon go it alone.
He was shaking in his boots when they offed him.
The mood is different.
So today I think we need to try and eliminate Se-dol.
Definitely.
It would make things easier in the future.
We should be getting rid of people who might be unpredictable.
What if instead of focusing on contenders,
we went after people who aren't a good fit for the team?
Right, that's what I meant. Like unpredictable for our team dynamic.
-Exactly. Anyone who seems like… -Exactly.
…they wouldn't cooperate with us. That's our main enemy.
Anyone unpredictable.
Man, we sound like the KGB or something.
THE MAIN MATCH WILL COMMENCE SOON
Attention. The main match will begin soon.
All players please make your way to the game zone.
-Let's do this. -Time to go.
Eun-yu, please don't betray me.
The three of us have already
-been labeled as Judases. -I mean it.
-We can't afford to betray each other. -When the time comes,
you have to be on my side.
-Of course. -Okay.
I always feel like a gladiator when I'm standing here.
Let's go.
Okay, guys, let's kill it in the main match today.
There's nothing out here.
Uh, hello?
-Hey, guys, we're here. -Here they come.
What happened to you since last time?
-Good to see you. -Thank you. Protein!
-I needed this. Thanks. -I've been through the wringer.
-We saw you. -For real, it was really impressive.
-I was like, "How did he get that right?" -You had a 100% plan?
You were down there all by yourself?
-Oh, nice. -Unbelievable.
-This isn't bad. -You guys went through a lot.
-Anything happen to you guys? -None of us got much sleep after that.
-He did it? -Yesterday was intense for me too.
-Really? -Yeah.
Good morning.
Get ready. The third main match of The Devil's Plan will begin shortly.
During yesterday's prison match, Park Sang-yeon was eliminated,
which leaves a total of 11 players still in contention.
Before we start today's game,
I'll do a quick overview of the number of Pieces held by each player.
HYUN-JOON X 10
-Hyun-joon's leading the pack? -Hyun-joon has ten Pieces?
Hyun-joon, whoa!
Currently, Choi Hyun-joon has collected the most Pieces.
He's taken the lead.
-He survived, huh? -Now…
it's time to run through the rules for the third main match.
Let's go!
Today's main match is called Halloween Monster.
-Ooh, spooky! -Uh-oh. What's that about?
The object of Halloween Monster is to defeat monsters on the battlefield
which will earn you victory points and loot.
-Oh, loot you say? -Monsters?
Before the game begins,
each player will be given five free victory points
and a basic weapon card.
Everyone starts with a dagger.
One hour before gameplay officially starts,
players will have the opportunity to go to the dealer room
where they can make deals and form alliances with whoever they want.
-Oh. -For the purposes of today's game,
an alliance may have a maximum of three members.
Additionally, each player may only belong to one alliance,
and once an alliance is formed, it cannot be changed,
expanded or dissolved.
-It's all out in the open. -Choose your two teammates wisely.
When a round starts, you will have exactly 20 minutes
to visit the dealer room and exchange victory points among yourselves.
You may only exchange points with the other players in your alliance,
and you must always ensure that each player
has at least one victory point.
Once you've finished exchanging points, the order of turns to attack
will be determined by number of victory points,
from highest to lowest.
In the event multiple players have the same number of points,
the order will be determined by drawing lots.
When each round of play starts,
the battlefield and the target will be revealed to you.
These targets are critical to the game.
They're the monsters you must attack and defeat to win.
But no two monsters are the same.
You'll find they have different amount of victory points and loot,
such as Pieces and special weapon cards.
Each monster also has health, or HP, which is equal to its victory points.
These are represented by a heart and a number.
-This is fun. -Oh, yeah.
Next, let's look at the rules
for attacking and defeating these monsters.
As you can see,
the battlefield is marked and delineated by a series of double solid lines,
and players can only attack targets that are currently on the battlefield.
When the time comes to fight the monsters,
each player is limited to one attack per turn
and no player may forfeit an attack.
On any given turn,
players have 30 minutes to enter the dealer room,
choose one of the numbers on the battlefield
marked by the double solid line,
then select and present a weapon card to use for their attack.
But only one weapon card may be used per turn.
So choose wisely.
The basic weapon card, the dagger, can be reused every round
and will be returned to the player after each use.
Special weapon cards, on the other hand,
are immediately discarded after a single use.
Each individual weapon card has a different level of combat power,
and when used in an attack,
the health of the monster on the battlefield
decreases by the attack power on that weapon card.
And, of course, when the monster's health reaches zero, it dies.
They're basically hit points.
Now let's take a look at the weapon cards.
This is the basic weapon.
The dagger has an attack power of three.
So when used to attack,
it reduces the health of the monster by three points.
The following are special weapon cards.
Poison. Attack power of one.
It's slow but effective.
When played against a target on the battlefield,
it drains the health of that monster by one point each successive turn
until it dies.
This is ice with an attack power of three.
This card reduces the health of the targeted monster by three.
But here's the catch.
The monster is frozen
and will not be affected by any more attacks from other players
until the player who used the ice card has their next turn.
Dual swords, attack power of four.
These can be wielded against either one or two monsters at once.
If used against a single monster, that monster loses four health points.
If used against two monsters, they lose two health points each.
That's cool.
This is the grenade, attack power six.
Any monster unlucky enough to be attacked with this
loses six health points.
Next is dynamite, with an attack power of ten.
This weapon works on a delay, so monsters attacked with dynamite
lose ten health points on the player's next turn,
not when the card is first played.
Once all players have finished selecting their target and weapon,
the attacks are initiated automatically in sequence
according to the order decided earlier.
In the event a weapon card is played
whose attack power is greater than the monster's remaining health points,
the monster dies immediately and the excess attack power is lost.
Whenever an attack is carried out,
the monster's remaining health points, the player who attacked it,
and the weapon they used are all hidden from other players.
However, whenever a monster is killed on the battlefield,
the player who delivered the fatal attack is instantly revealed,
at which time they're awarded all of the monster's victory points and loot.
After that, the dead monster
is immediately removed from the battlefield,
and the next monster on the far left of the reserve pool
automatically comes in to take the empty spot.
From then on, any attacks already initiated by other players
targeting the newly defeated monster
will be redirected and carried out against the new monster in play.
During normal gameplay,
players can pay one Piece to purchase a special item of their choice.
The Scouter Card can be used before the transfer of victory points,
and allows the player to go to the dealer room
and check the remaining health points of each monster on the battlefield.
The Change the Order card must be played at the same time
as your weapon card.
It allows a player to choose any new position
in the established order of attack turns.
All special weapon cards and special items,
that is to say everything except for daggers,
can be transferred and exchanged, even between different alliances.
A round ends as soon as all players
have initiated their attacks on the battlefield.
Round two begins in the same way as round one,
with the members of each alliance transferring victory points.
Beginning with round two,
if multiple players happen to have the same number of victory points,
they will be placed in reverse order to their turn in the previous round.
Ah, got it.
When all the monsters in the reserve pool
have been attacked and defeated on the battlefield,
the game ends.
When the game ends, the points of each player in a given alliance
will be added up
and then divided by the number of players in that alliance
so that each of them gets the same amount.
After that, each player's points will be calculated to one decimal place,
and then the player with the highest final score
will be awarded a total of six Pieces.
In the event there are multiple players who wind up with the same final score,
the Pieces will be divided equally among them.
Now, the time has come to go over today's prize mission.
Gotta be elimination.
If only one player has been eliminated by the end of today's main match,
one hundred million won will be added to the prize fund.
-One person eliminated? -Wow, okay.
Starting now,
you have one hour to talk amongst yourselves and form alliances.
Once you've decided on an alliance,
please make your way to the dealer room and notify the staff of your decision.
I had a feeling the prize mission would be like that.
The funny thing is, they didn't say how we get eliminated.
I still don't know how to get eliminated based on those rules.
So I'll have to give some thought to our strategy.
Maybe we'll have to ask.
I don't know what gets you eliminated,
but at least one person's going home today.
Too bad it's only one.
What are you thinking right now?
We're thinking Kyuhyun, or maybe three like this.
We're talking about it now.
But if we do divide into threes, then there'll be two people left over.
True. So are you two gonna make a team of three with Kyuhyun?
-That's what we're thinking. -Three?
'Cause neither of us have a connection with the prison guys.
So you being over there is better.
So us three?
-Me? -Yeah.
-I'm looking for three. -It's better to be a trio.
That's not what I mean. The three that I'm talking about…
-Don't know what he's thinking. -Should we stick with that?
-Okay, the thing is… -You know what I mean?
…this may sound harsh, but that's the only way.
It's gonna be three, three, three.
-One of those two is dead. -So which two?
Look, I mean, we can argue about it all day…
Whoever lands the killing blow gets the points.
So that's the sure thing in this game. Kill the monster.
Yeah, but what if it's dead already?
Something else might come around the corner to take its place, right?
Dead monsters are automatically removed from the battlefield
and when they're gone new monsters take their place.
Players with turns further down in the order
who attack the same spot on the battlefield
will automatically attack the new monster.
So cooperation, trust, and strong teamwork are an essential part of any alliance.
I think I wanna team up with you.
Because in that first game, when you were a dirty cop,
I'm sure you were watching all of us like a hawk.
But, honestly, we couldn't tell.
So from our point of view, I think you killed it.
-Yeah. -Well, I can't commit yet anyway.
But I wanna be able to stick by Kyuhyun and So-hui.
You guys were planning on teaming up?
No, we didn't have a plan. We agreed to mix things up.
We talked about playing with Ha-rin.
-Still sort of shopping. -You think that will work?
-Yeah. -Well, Ha-rin's pretty level-headed,
but one thing to consider is she has three Pieces.
I'm not sure if it's smart to use up a bunch of Pieces
to buy people's loyalty or whatever, but I'm…
-You can't ask for something back? -Yeah.
You have a ton. Use some of them.
But no one can make me spend Pieces.
-Totally. That's true. -I have to get something in return.
-That would be wrong. -If I give up Pieces,
-they owe me something. -Just a thought. So what did you do?
-Are you curious? -Yeah.
-I did Wall Go. -Hmm.
-You played Wall Go? Oh. -What did you do?
-Well, I'd never seen anything like it. -Really?
Yeah, I was trapped in a well.
At first I wanted to play with Kyuhyun and So-hui,
but I thought that could get complicated.
So I tried to team up with some of the prison crew.
-Wanna join up? -The three of us?
-Yeah, just us three. -No one else?
-Give us a shot here. -I think we…
Let's go to a room and chat.
This is definitely a game
where it's better to be in a three-person alliance.
If you play alone
your turn's going to be fixed in the middle of the pack
and everyone's going to know it.
I'm going to play with Hyun-joon and Ha-rin.
-Then I'll put Eun-yu in there. -Okay.
Then let's just play as a six like that, because I think…
Oh, not as a group of nine?
Let's do six and get rid of Se-dol's team, okay?
Cool. I'm on board with that. Deal. Okay.
If I make it to the final, the last person I want to face is Se-dol.
I have a feeling he's hard to beat one-on-one.
They want to get rid of Se-dol.
I didn't understand it at first, but I caught on to their plan.
To be honest, I don't wanna see him go, so I hope he does well today.
Right, okay.
So, like I said, I think you two should go court Eun-yu
and make your own team of three.
-Hmm. -That make sense?
Let's get Eun-yu.
What are you doing?
I'm going to link up with Kyuhyun and So-hui.
But she… she has to okay the plan.
Here's the reality.
We have three teams of three,
and I think one of the two left over will end up leaving.
Hyun-gyu wants it to be Se-dol.
The guys in the living area were already gunning for Se-dol.
Ha-rin's playing with Hyun-gyu.
They're on a team?
Yeah, and Hyun-joon.
So I had no choice.
What do we do? We don't have to do what they say.
Do we really have to go along with their decision?
-Huh? -Teaming up…
-Didn't we just agree to it? -So we did agree?
Does playing in three teams of three mean we're in an alliance of nine?
-Sort of. -Really?
Then do we have to share our strategies and…
Well, we haven't worked out all the details yet.
So we have to formalize the alliance first? Then let's go.
We have to go to the dealer room to cement it.
That's what I'm saying.
-Hello. Hi there. -Uh, hey.
You've all agreed to the alliance?
-Yes. -Yes.
Son Eun-yu, 7high, and Kang Ji-yeong, your alliance is now official.
Kim Ha-rin, Jeong Hyun-gyu, and Choi Hyun-joon,
your alliance is now official.
Kyuhyun, Yoon So-hui, and Tinno, your alliance is now official.
CURRENT ALLIANCES
-I feel for the guys left over. -What's up?
We're discussing strategy, what targets to go after first.
Oh, great. Fill me in.
We don't know yet. Are you in an alliance?
-I'm alone. -You're alone?
So you're going to play as a trio. I thought you'd be playing by yourself.
If I were you I'd go it alone.
Even playing as a duo would be better.
-We already made it official. -Is it done?
-With the dealer? -Yeah.
They're playing as a threesome.
I guess Hyun-joon's in a trio.
Why don't we just partner up then?
How about we play on our own but we share information?
Ah, okay. Okay, that's a good compromise.
-Yeah, let's do that. -Good.
Oh, man. I hadn't even gotten to the items yet.
-Right. We need to go over all the items. -Yeah.
Gotta know what we're working with.
The monster can't take damage
until the player who used the ice card has their next turn?
Yeah, the ice is pretty weird.
Once a monster is frozen,
no attacks from other players have any effect
until the person who played the ice card has their next turn.
Ice seems tricky to use.
Isn't the poison good too?
If it's your turn when the poison kills it, you get all the points, right?
If you use poison on the Witch,
and we manage to time it right, we can get them all at once.
Poison works slowly,
draining one health point from the monster with each turn.
So, it's possible to defeat a strong monster,
just by carefully calculating when to use the poison,
but another player could intervene
and sweep in at the last minute to steal the loot.
The Poison is -1.
If the next player uses a Dagger, does the -3 get taken first?
The -3 is first, and the Poison always takes effect last.
Dynamite doesn't do any damage right away?
-That's right. -But whoever uses it
just has to wait one round for it to explode.
-That's right, it's delayed. -So their patience pays off eventually.
I think this is gonna have a huge impact on the elimination mission,
because everything, all the other information, is public.
Everyone can see it, so why else would they use a question mark
-to hide the points? -I think you're onto something.
I think I got it.
For the Grim Reaper it says,
"The loot will be revealed when the card enters the reserve pool."
So maybe the loot lets you off someone.
So the team that gets the Grim Reaper can kill someone.
That's why they're not revealing it until then.
Maybe you can steal Pieces. And whoever you take them from gets killed?
That could be it too. After all, it is the Grim Reaper.
-This is kinda creeping me out. -I think he's right.
The loot is someone else's Pieces.
You get to kill them and empty their pockets.
That sent shivers down my spine. You just kill someone to loot them?
Grim Reaper's right.
I think we can get a lot done if the six of us work together.
Exactly.
That means we can deal two damage apiece for a total of 18.
Not bad at all.
Don't you think something feels a little off?
Like, why are the other guys meeting without us?
I think they're working on a little side strategy to win something for themselves.
The thing is, there's a major variable now.
'Cause Hyun-joon picked up ten Pieces in prison,
And now he just joined a formal alliance with one of the players that was teamed up
with the people in the living area, so…
Yeah, looking at the big picture,
the center of gravity is tilting a little towards that alliance,
and that puts my team in a position where we're gonna have to tread very lightly.
Attention. Halloween Monster will begin shortly.
Before we start, each player will receive a basic Dagger weapon card.
-A Dagger. -Thanks.
Get ready. Round 1 of Halloween Monster begins now.
Currently, all players have five victory points.
All players now have 20 minutes to go to the dealer room
and make any point exchanges with members of your alliance.
-Better do it in here, right? -Yeah.
It's important for both of us to start strong.
-Yeah. -'Cause if we can't accomplish anything
in the first two rounds, I think we're done for.
-Wait. -Oh, we're working on our strategy.
Uh, so we're not sharing information then?
What's up?
Well, the three of us were assuming we'd all share info.
But if you're not interested in that,
then we're gonna have to make some big adjustments to our strategy.
Yeah, but we're a two-team alliance.
-With them? -Yep.
We're not playing with nine, right?
I wanted to talk that over.
Didn't we agree to work together?
I need to talk with him. Hyun-gyu, can you just, real quick?
So no team of nine, then?
-I have no idea. -I'll listen in.
My priority was the three of us. So I focused on that.
You're sure it has to be six? Nine won't work?
Yeah, it's gonna be impossible to win with nine.
Then let's go with six. I'll tell them we're only working with that team.
Hey, 7high, Ji-yeong. Hey, guys. I'm really sorry.
You should have told us about this before we made an alliance.
At first, I was thinking all nine of us.
I wanted to make a connection between the teams.
But now Hyun-gyu is saying no.
So we have to make a choice, which team are we joining?
And I think we have to go with them. It's the smartest move.
-What do you mean you have to? -Right.
They're gonna have the winner.
-The winner is definitely… -Yeah, so?
…gonna come from that team.
So, all you can do is make them use as many Pieces as possible.
Either way, we've decided Se-dol has to go. No question.
We have no power right now.
-That's true. -They have the upper hand. They just do.
Once you form an alliance, you can't just break it.
So when they dropped that on us out of the blue…
truly I was shocked.
What I'm trying to say is,
after you said to me, "Let's play as a group of six",
-if you had said… -Let's go strategize. 7high…
…we would never have agreed to an alliance like that.
Anyway…
-You know I'm right, dude. -I know what you mean. I hear you, man.
Well, there's no going back.
All we can do is grit our teeth and defend ourselves as best we can.
I think they'll use a Piece in the first round for sure.
But if they can get the Witch, they'll get their Piece back.
So I think they're gonna make a real effort to go after the Witch.
What if we go for it too?
We use a Change the Order card and start by getting the Witch.
So, how did…
Well, they just came in here and made a big fuss about us betraying them…
They wanted to know why we aren't cooperating with them.
What's your plan?
This round, let's focus on getting the Dracula.
-Where's the Dracula? I missed that. -Here.
-It'll only come out after we… -We have to clear the Jack first?
The Piece is pretty enticing, so there's a good chance they'll go for it.
-So let's just clear No. 1. -And this? Okay.
So, two players with thirteen and four with one each.
My strategy is, we divide into a forward line and a rear line,
then push the forward line to go for the Jack-o'-lantern,
and keep four people with one point at the back to attack the Dracula.
That way we kill both monsters fast.
If they also have one person with thirteen, will you use a Piece?
If they send someone with thirteen,
then they'll have to decide the order by drawing lots.
And as long as they're not the second player to go, it's fine.
Honestly, as long as they're not in the middle.
-Right. It's a lottery. -Oh, if they come out in the middle,
they'll see we've taken three points and try to jam us up.
If that happens, we can't attack first. 'Cause they'll get this.
It's just chance at that point. It's not something we can control.
Let's go with this for now.
-Go with 13. -I'll go change our points.
-Good morning. -Hello.
-You're here to transfer points? -Yes.
Okay, how many points and to whom?
We'll do 13, one, one.
Yeah, 13 going to him is better.
Take care of your Dagger. Apparently, if you lose it, that's it.
-You left it in there. -Oh, shit.
Going into battle unarmed.
Right. We'll do 13, one, and one.
-Okay, transfer confirmed. -Thank you.
You have five minutes left to make any final transfers.
We couldn't even if we wanted to.
We have to decide what we're going to attack.
I mean, wouldn't we be fine if we won a single round?
If we can get one solid victory in the first couple of rounds…
-Yeah. -…that'd be amazing.
A solo player isn't necessarily at a disadvantage
compared to a 3-person alliance.
Because, once the game is over,
any 3-person team will have to split their points equally between all players.
So to come out on top, a 3-person alliance
needs three times as many points as a solo player.
Time's up. The window to transfer points has closed.
-We have to do it? -It's over. We're stuck with 5, 5, 5.
So this is how it ends.
We were so busy discussing how to divide our points,
we missed the deadline.
Whatever the order is, we'll be somewhere in the middle.
That's not too bad. Not like we planned it that way.
Before we begin, players with the same number of points will now draw lots
to decide the order of their turns.
Kyuhyun, Hyun-joon, go ahead and draw a ball.
Okay. Cool.
-Number five. -Yeah, he's five.
It's meaningless for us.
I will now reveal the order of play for round one.
You now have thirty minutes to strategize with your teammates
to choose a weapon and a target.
When you've made your choice, please inform a dealer.
-Okay, guys, we need to decide. -Let's have a chat.
They pushed two forward with thirteen.
But these guys with five, five didn't do anything.
What's going on there? They're a trio.
-Jack-o'-lantern. -Yep, we got 'em.
If we go like this, they won't use a lot on this.
-They won't use much. -That's right.
I don't like Se-dol so high up.
Yeah, I'm curious what he's gonna go for.
But what's weird about this is that it feels like
they're just going to target this one and get it right away.
Right, so I think they're going straight for that.
Then that'll be gone, and this one comes into play.
Okay, then you've got one, two, three.
That makes nine points, right?
-So they'll go after this. Nine points. -Okay.
So if I hit it, it's six points. And if she hits it, it's dead.
-Right. -That's nine there.
-Then number five will… -That's right.
It'll go to number five. And it'll be dead.
But 7high won't know that, so he'll just attack it again.
But if you hit it again, we'll get the points.
-Okay. -That's one scenario.
Best-case scenario.
That's the best case, but…
-Thanks. -Good luck.
Which monster would you like to attack with which weapon?
I think I'm going to attack No. 1.
Monster No. 1 with a Dagger.
Attacking No. 1 with the Dagger.
Yes, No. 1 with my Dagger.
No. 1 with the Dagger.
I'll do No. 1 with the Dagger.
Attack No. 1 with my Dagger.
I'll attack No. 1.
Okay. Then after that, if you get the right card, give me the Grenade…
-No problem. -That'd be…
That would give us six attack points, 'cause it's on a delay,
we can think about using that to get something else down the line.
I'm going to attack No. 2, with my Dagger.
Yeah, I'm going to use my Dagger on No. 2.
Sure, so like I was saying, the two guys ahead of us,
they're going to go for the Jack-o'-lantern.
-Okay, so how about we go for the Treant? -Hmm?
I think we should go for the Treant.
-Guys, all of you go for No. 2. -Why?
If you do, you'll definitely get the Treant.
I told 7high's team to go for No. 2 because I don't want them doing any
weird side deals.
Plus, it wasn't going to hurt us that much.
-They're definitely going for No. 1. -For sure.
They're gonna snatch it while we all go for No. 2.
It doesn't matter what Se-dol does, he can't get anything.
So if we hit No. 2, at least they'll think we're listening to them,
-which is good for us, right? -That's true.
Oh my God, if we played it right, we could've taken this one.
If the five of us worked together, we could have had it.
That would have been worth a shot.
Although, we don't know if they'd have gone for it.
Yeah, right. Who knows?
If they could've had it, they'd play ball.
But it would have gone to us, so it might not have worked.
Knowing them, they'd be like,
"Well, you got that, so now you have to do something for us. Give us a Piece."
It would've been complicated.
Please choose your weapon and your target. Five minutes remaining.
Oh! Oh.
Okay, I will go for No. 2.
-No. 2. -No. 2.
You have used your Dagger on No. 2.
Apparently it was a totally different ball game for him.
-What was? The mission? -Yeah.
It totally shattered my expectations.
No one else can do it 'cause you cleared it, right?
Yeah, they probably took it down.
You guys should have tried swapping.
-Interesting. -He played Wall Go.
Actually, I didn't.
What was it then?
Did you have to move around like a chess piece
-on a giant board? -That's right.
Oh, so he did do Knight's Tour.
I'm pretty sure I know why he lied to me.
He had to do something similar to Knight's Tour,
but he told us he had to play Wall Go
so we'd waste more time on the Knight's Tour.
So only he'd know that Wall Go was still in the mix for a mission.
He tried to be sly, but I saw right through him.
Attention. Your five minutes is up.
Everyone, please gather in the hall.
Come on, let me win one!
What happened?
I will now reveal the results of every player's attacks,
in the proper order.
The Jack-o'-lantern in position No. 1
was defeated by Choi Hyun-joon.
-Saw that coming. -Hyun-joon got it?
You have been awarded five points and a Poison card.
The Treant in position No. 2 was attacked and killed by Kang Ji-yeong.
You've been awarded nine victory points, a Grenade and a Dual Swords card.
Wow.
The Werewolf in position No. 2
met its end at the hands of Justin Min.
He'll receive five victory points and a Grenade card.
-Yes! Just like we thought! -I know.
They made an alliance for sure. They teamed up.
The Dracula in position No. 1 was attacked and killed by Tinno with a dagger.
His reward is ten victory points, an Ice card and a Dual Swords card.
Awesome.
My inventory's stacked.
Get ready. Round 2 begins now.
You have 20 minutes to confer with your teammates,
go to the dealer room and complete any point transfers in your alliances.
Teamed up? In an alliance?
Ji-yeong and Justin took those cards.
Why else would they go for the Treant three times in a row?
-They're in an alliance. -That's not it.
He helped him out in that round.
He's fourth, so he knew he couldn't win anything.
He expected us to go for the Treant, so he gave us a little push from behind.
-Helped Justin. -That means they're teamed up.
I set you up for that one.
It was luck.
So Ji-yeong got a Grenade and some Dual Swords from the Treant,
and Justin got a Grenade.
-Justin stabbed that monster too. -They have two Grenades total, right?
They'll go for the Witch next?
Yeah. This is so tricky.
-Can I be honest? -Yes.
-The logical move is to split our points. -A different target?
We do eight, eight, eight. And then we'd have to attack either one or two.
Ah, but the problem is, if we're together, and one alliance comes behind us,
they can just gobble it up 'cause it's pretty easy to calculate the right timing.
So then the assumption becomes that since we're in an alliance,
we'll all go for the same target.
So if they split it eight, eight, eight, or whatever they do,
it doesn't matter if they go for the Frankenstein or the Mummy,
-as long as they go for one or the other. -Let's sort our points out first.
Any transfers to make?
-You got one, right? -I got the Jack-o'-lantern.
So 18, 1, 1, like this.
Yeah, 18, 1, 1.
Oh, we've got that already. We'll stick with how we are.
So, you're not sharing?
-No. -You can't share info this round.
I mean, at this point they've already caught on to us.
Yeah, so once we're relatively sure we can share information, that's fine.
But it's still early days, so it feels unnecessary to.
Any transfers to make?
Yup, she and I, So-hui and Kyuhyun,
want to transfer all our points over to Tinno.
Kyuhyun can transfer 12 points to Tinno,
-but So-hui doesn't have any. -Oh, right.
-You don't have any. Right. -Yeah, I'll keep what I've got,
which is nothing. So, yeah.
Hey, can I just ask?
How many of you guys have between 5 and 8 points?
-You're dividing into first and last? -Among the six of you?
That's your strategy for now?
-Right now, that's… No. -So you can't tell us.
The only reason we're asking is so we can get rid of Se-dol.
-Between 5 and 8 points? -Aren't you in an alliance with him?
-Just listen to me… -Please just trust us.
Hey, just listen. Do 8, 8, 8.
See, 'cause if we go ten, eight, eight, five,
then we'll end up giving ten points to Se-dol, which we don't want to do.
-You don't want them to team up? -Hang on a second.
We don't have a choice. They'll just go back to back otherwise.
-So we go with eights? -Otherwise they'll be together.
'Cause no one's in the middle.
But if they split it evenly at eights, that's good for us.
-Exactly, so it doesn't really matter… -That's why I said…
they're better off going all eights.
Hey, got some intel. There's no alliance.
-Oh, really? They've started using us. -Yes, it's obvious.
They know we're going after those two.
And they think they have no choice but to double-deal,
so they'll try to control the game from both sides.
Time's up. The window to transfer points is now closed.
I will now reveal the order of attack for Round 2.
What would you do if you were Tinno?
All the items he has, I'd go after the Mummy.
-Mummy? -Yeah.
Or maybe he'll use the Ice to freeze it.
I can't see him using the Ice right now. And using Poison seems like a headache.
It might even be good for another team, because it drains one hit point per turn.
-Yeah, yeah. Right. -I'm not sure if he'll use the Poison.
Guess I don't know about the Ice either.
I think they'll go for the Witch this round.
Really? The Witch?
Think about it, the strategy to get the Witch,
is to attack it once early on and leave it alone.
Then hit it four times in a row at the end,
'cause who else would go for it?
Any way you slice it, there's no way we can get it.
-There is one way. -We're on the same page.
-What? -With Justin. Not Se-dol. Just Justin.
We have to make an alliance with Justin.
-But what does Justin get for helping us? -What's in it for him?
Transferring loot isn't dependent on having an alliance, right?
Just give him Dynamite?
I guess that's what that means.
-Can we talk for a second? -Sure, come in. Please.
What are you guys thinking of doing?
I mean, we saw a very easy path for you guys.
If these two go for this,
the three of you guys can easily just get that.
We know that. To be honest, you…
-You're playing by yourself, right? -Yeah.
So I think that Dynamite is really important to you,
-because it goes like ten damage, right? -Yeah.
So I think that… So if we take this…
Oh, yeah. Yeah, yeah.
-We can give this item to you. -Okay.
-They're asking you to set it up for them. -Attack it once for us.
I see what you're saying.
We have 6, 3, and 3 attack points, 12 total.
So if you do 3 more, we can take it down.
At this point, I think that's the only way we can shake up the game.
Look, I usually hate this kind of thing, but give us the Piece instead.
-Oh, not the Dynamite? -Yeah.
Actually, we can't trade Pieces here,
but when we get back to the living area or somewhere else,
you can give it to us then.
I'll discuss it with my team.
-Okay. -You know what I mean?
Yeah, for a second there, I started to wonder,
"What if they don't give it to us?"
When I offered the Dynamite, they asked for a Piece.
-That's what they want. -They want the Piece?
You now have ten minutes to select your target and your weapon.
-Go for this one. -Let's make our attacks.
What's the number of your target and your weapon of choice?
-No. 2. -Mm-hmm.
I will use my Dagger.
-Using your Dagger on monster No. 2? -Yes.
It just occurred to me, something worse might happen.
What if we all attack the Witch, but Justin doesn't? What do we do then?
Then Se-dol will get it.
Justin might have made an alliance and then Se-dol could end up with it.
Crap, I should've never made them that offer. I tipped our hand.
Well, this isn't a reason to do it, but if they don't agree to it,
and we don't cooperate, what's their plan then?
No sign of them, I guess the deal's off.
Well, never mind then.
-Us two go for one and you go for two. -I'll do two.
-One and one. -We have to go for broke.
If we fail, we're going home.
-One, one, two. -Okay.
Okay, I'm going to attack No. 2 with my Dagger.
No. 1…
I'll use this card on No. 1.
The ice is so… it's really tricky.
Now that he has it, it's like I'm feeling the harsh effects of capitalism.
-Capitalism? -'Cause we're in different classes.
Hey, can we talk? I'm really worried about you right now.
Because I think you're a valuable player.
-Me too. -Right.
Not to be rude, and I'm really just curious… No offense intended.
Is that the same dress?
-Mine? Yeah. -Right, okay.
I've been wearing this for three days now.
See, I thought maybe the color was a little different.
I guess I was imagining it. Maybe a brighter red or pink or something.
It'd be weird to have the same dress in slightly different colors.
I genuinely wasn't sure.
Attention, all players have now finished selecting their weapons
and their targets.
I will now reveal the results of all the attacks this round
in the appropriate order.
All right. Finally, here they come.
Hurry up, guys.
The Witch in position No. 3…
WITCH
…was defeated by Jeong Hyun-gyu.
Let's think about the route they might take.
And how about we throw some Poison at the Witch?
The only thing they can do is go after the Mummy or go after Frankenstein.
Maybe we should freeze Frankenstein.
Yeah, not a bad strategy. 'Cause I don't think they're going for the Witch.
If their strategy was to try to steal a kill
on the monster that we already poisoned
they'd have to mobilize everything they have,
and I think that would be extremely difficult for them to justify,
going all in like that.
Whoever's first on team one should use Poison,
then the two going last on our team will attack the Witch.
Poison on monster 3.
I'm gonna freeze Frankenstein.
Dagger on monster No. 3.
I'm gonna use this on No. 1.
I'll use my Dagger on monster No. 1.
All right, I will attack monster No. 2 with my Dagger.
I will attack No. 3 with my Dagger.
I think I'll attack No. 3 with my Dagger.
This turn, I think I'm going to attack No. 2 with my Dagger.
-With the Dagger. -Monster No. 3…
Yeah, I'm going to attack monster No. 2.
-Okay, Dagger on monster No. 2? -Yes.
You reward is 15 points, one Piece, and one Dynamite card.
Oh, my God. Hit the mother lode.
The Mummy in position No. 2
was taken down by Kyuhyun.
He'll receive seven points, a Grenade card and a Poison card.
-We nailed it, you guys. -Amazing.
Okay, okay.
Get ready. Round 3 begins now.
The Grim Reaper's up. The loot for the Grim Reaper is two Pieces.
GRIM REAPER
You have 20 minutes to confer…
-So we don't lose Pieces. -What the…
-You actually get two. -No elimination?
Besides, the loot for the Grim Reaper is two Pieces.
Then there's gotta be something else that eliminates you.
My guess was the reward for defeating the Reaper would
be something like taking Pieces off another player.
But, turns out, they just give you two Pieces.
So we know it's not the Reaper.
Right now, we don't have a way to eliminate anyone.
GRIM REAPER
Tell me one thing. Did you attack No. 1 at all?
Did you attack Frankenstein?
-Did we attack Frankenstein? With an item? -Yeah.
You freeze it?
-We had no reason to go after No. 1. -That's why I'm asking.
I'm just checking. It's really important to us.
You expect me to just tell you?
-'Cause I can't. -Did you attack it?
I can't tell you anything at all.
-Okay, they iced Frankenstein. -That's what I thought. I called it.
-They froze it? -They used their Ice.
Nothing we did worked at all.
And they said it couldn't have gone better.
Everything went right for them.
Poison, a Grenade, Dynamite, Dual Swords.
The Frankenstein's gonna melt soon.
Hyun-joon, by the time you go in, the Ice will have worn off, right?
Yes, so maybe our first two players should go after Frankenstein?
Yep, but it has 6 health points left.
So if we use a Grenade, we can get it right away.
Then you can go first, melt the Ice
and use some Poison on the Zombie.
After that, So-hui can use the Grenade to get No. 1,
and the rest of us will mop up the Zombie.
But from their point of view,
they know we're always going to take the first two turns, right?
-And they also have a Grenade. -But they won't get a chance…
Right. But they could use the Piece to change the order.
-That's right. They can. -Let them use it.
Why not just use the same cards?
'Cause then we can spend cash in the next round.
You really think they can afford to risk a Piece and a Grenade to get one card?
-Doubt it. -Yeah, exactly.
I don't think they will.
Then let's divide our points like this.
Can't we go in whatever order we want?
Right. Yeah. We have plenty of options. Which is--
We could buy ourselves the first and last turns.
It's better for us to be near the end.
It's 33. So as long as you have 29, that's enough.
So you go first on your team.
-You want me to go for No. 2? -Yeah. We'll take care of the Zombie.
The Zombie probably won't be 13 anymore.
The Witch was No. 3, so they would've attacked that spot more.
So the Zombie will have taken some of those hits.
You have five minutes left to complete your transfers.
-What's the plan with points? -Right, the points.
So, remember what 7high said about Justin joining up with us?
There's no good reason to do it.
'Cause if we were playing back-to-back, we might get something.
But with Justin in front, he'll get it first.
Yeah. Let's just stick with this.
-I think this is better. -I don't like it, but it's still better.
Kim Ha-rin, 2 points. Jeong Hyun-gyu, 3 points.
Choi Hyun-joon, 30 points.
-Is that correct? -Yep.
Yoon So-hui, 29, Kyuhyun, two, and that leaves me with one.
Time's up. The window to transfer points among your teammates is closed.
I will now reveal the order of turns for Round three.
You now have 30 minutes to choose a weapon and a target.
When you've made your choice, please inform a dealer.
Okay, I'll start by melting the Ice on Frankenstein.
Then use the Poison on the Zombie.
Right, I hit him with that stuff.
Then So-hui defeats Frankenstein, which brings the Clown into play.
Let's look ahead a little.
I don't think there'll be many more rounds,
so we could probably use the Dynamite.
Yeah, that's good. Let's do it. They won't see it coming.
I'm gonna use my Poison on No. 3.
I think I'm going to use the Hand Grenade on No. 1.
-You're using the Grenade to attack No. 1? -Yes.
Right now, we're assuming they'll go for this monster, right?
'Cause they wanna get a kill under their belt.
-Yeah. -So then,
isn't it better for us to just go after this one?
Where does that leave these guys?
They have two Grenades? Don't they just have one?
-They could go for this one. Yep. -Oh, they have the Dual Swords.
So they could go for the Zombie if they want.
Let's go for the Zombie.
But did we do the math right just now?
'Cause remember, Kyuhyun got a card at the end.
So do we know the Zombie took a hit and lost some points?
We're making all kinds of logical leaps. We just don't have enough info.
I think we have to use our Grenade here.
Sure. Let's use it.
They can have Frankenstein, and we'll take the Gargoyle.
-Let's go. -Look at us. We made a decision. Let's go.
Dagger on monster No. 2.
I will use a Grenade on monster No. 2.
It's dead out here.
Ji-yeong.
You've betrayed me twice now.
-Wait, I betrayed you? -Yeah, you did. You ditched our alliance.
And you ditched after we officially agreed we'd work together.
That's not really betrayal.
We're really lonely. Honestly, it's super hard to play by ourselves.
You're being cagey
-and you're not giving us any info. -Yeah, listen.
What's the deal?
I mean, come on.
That's betrayal, isn't it?
I will use a Grenade on No. 2.
I'll attack monster No. 2 with my Dagger.
-Oh, I got you. -Then you just take it.
Can I come in?
-Yeah, sure. -I'm freaked out.
So scared.
Okay, so what exactly do you guys want?
-Like right now? -We can help.
-With one thing in particular. -What?
If you cooperate with us,
we can make sure Se-dol and Justin don't get anything,
and you get a bunch of loot.
Take some time. Think it over.
-All our strategies keep falling apart. -We'll give you something next time.
The way you're talking right now.
-On one condition. -Your tone is crazy.
You have to give up the item.
-God! -Yeah.
We only get the points?
Basically what we're proposing is a deal that guarantees them
third place by giving them the Clown.
-Well, let's see what happens this round. -Yeah.
-We'll see what happens. Okay. -Okay, okay.
We could have the points, but we'd have to give them the weapon.
I can tell they're unsure about giving us the Clown.
They wanted to take all the Pieces.
-They're worried we're gonna take one. -They're worried. I don't like that idea.
Your time is up.
Everyone, please make your way to the hall.
What do you think happened? Did we get a zombie?
I will now reveal the results of all the attacks
following the order of play.
Frankenstein, the monster in Position 1
was killed by Yoon So-hui.
Her reward is nine points, a Dynamite card…
-That's a relief. -…and a Dual Swords card.
I wonder who got the Zombie.
The Gargoyle in Position 2…
Gargoyle. Gargoyle.
…was defeated by Kang Ji-yeong.
She'll receive nine points and a Dynamite card.
Nice.
If I go for 3, either Ji-yeong or I will get the Zombie.
Should we? Go for the Zombie?
First, we wanted to attack the Zombie,
but we thought someone ahead of us might get it first.
Let's do this. Let's put one attack on Frankenstein…
-We'll get nine points. -…and then guarantee ourselves nine
by using the Grenade and the Dagger on the Gargoyle.
Whoever goes before us can't get the Gargoyle,
so it's all ours if we want it.
-All right. -I'm gonna use my Dagger on No. 1.
I will use, uh, a grenade on No. 2.
-You're using a dagger on No. 2. -Yep.
Try to get the Zombie.
The Zombie in Position 3
-was killed by Jeong Hyun-gyu. -Nice.
He'll receive 13 points, an Ice card and a Grenade card.
I'm gonna use my Poison on No. 3.
I'll attack No. 1 with a grenade.
Dagger on No. 2.
I'll go for No. 1.
Attack No. 2…
-No. 2. -No. 2 for me.
Okay, I'll use my Dagger on No. 3.
It all worked out just right, huh?
We used our Grenade, the only item we had.
We tried to turn things in our favor, but we failed.
Get ready. Round 4 begins now.
You now have 20 minutes to go to the dealer room
and complete any point transfers in your alliances.
So, if you take down the Clown, you get ten points.
What?
You just want all the Pieces. The Clown's a tactic.
But we still don't know how elimination works.
-I mean, your team could still… -Be in danger?
We thought whoever hasn't killed a monster yet might get eliminated,
so we wanted to give some players on your team
a chance to kill the Clown.
So do we have a deal? We get the Grenade?
-We'll talk, okay? -All right.
What are the rules for elimination?
Good question. I have no idea.
We know the Grim Reaper has nothing to do with eliminating players.
But we're probably not totally in the dark.
I bet they've already started giving us clues about it.
But I don't know. What could they be?
-This is too weird. -What?
We thought the Grim Reaper had something to do with elimination.
-But it doesn't, right? -No, it doesn't.
So how do you get eliminated then?
Well, one thing I've noticed that's a little weird
is we all have these hearts next to our points.
I noticed the hearts too.
It's almost like they're our own health points, right?
I'm just saying, it seems weird, that's all.
Let's just keep playing smart for now. Okay, guys?
Their plan right now is to give us the Clown.
So after that, all we have to worry about is how we can get the Grim Reaper.
But don't you think there's a way we can kill it?
What if we use our Dynamite.
The Troll and the Medusa are useless to us.
They'll probably freeze them this round.
-They have Ice? -And they want both of those.
The Troll and the Medusa.
Yeah, they have two, so they'll freeze both.
What's the point? Why wouldn't they just take them right away?
-Oh, I got it. -What?
Can you just set me up to go first in Round 5? First turn.
-First? -Yes.
We definitely can. But why?
Well, if they give us the Clown here,
then what are they going to do next?
If they ice these, they'll go berserk on the Clown spot.
So their last players will hit the Grim Reaper early.
They'll attack the Grim Reaper here.
Their forward team will attack the Grim Reaper and kill it,
and basically we'll be screwed.
We won't get anything.
Wait. Then we can't put you in first.
-Why not? -'Cause they'll see it coming.
Then when I go in, I'll change the order and get No. 1.
So you want to take the Clown?
In this round we have to.
We have to give them the weapons, right?
No. We have to betray them on that.
You mean just to lock them out?
Well, why would we do that?
Why? So they can't just barge in
-and steal or threaten to beat us up? -They're not getting the weapon.
There's only one way we can turn things around.
Take the Clown and don't give up our weapons.
And we'll just say, "Sorry, guys, but it's our turn to betray you."
-They betrayed us first. -Okay.
If this works, we'll betray them at the end of Round 4,
and they won't be able to do anything about it
-if they go after the Reaper. -That's what I'm saying.
Okay, let's review.
Dynamite,
then use the Dual Swords to take down the Troll.
-The Troll? -The Troll? Let's do a Grenade?
Yeah, I think the Grenade might be better.
-But then we… -Hang on a sec.
-Something feels off here. -What? What is it?
You think they move us to those empty spots?
What, in the reserve pool?
-It's weird, but I have a feeling. -I think you're right.
-Our cards have the same exact design. -I got chills.
Now that I'm looking at it, I think you might be.
Well, it wouldn't surprise me. They always throw us curveballs.
We still have to keep playing the game and get as many monsters as we can.
That hasn't changed.
I think I figured it out.
-Where are you going? -Hang on. Just a sec.
Sorry, do we…
kill people later in the game?
Well, it's possible.
