Ji-yeong, your prediction was successful.
Dang, I knew it.
-Yeah! -Wow!
Wow!
It's luck. It was luck.
I wasn't feeling that great,
and I knew I would start to lose focus the longer the game dragged on.
When I looked at the scores, I realized I could get the most points
by predicting zero, and getting it right.
Then, when I was looking at all of the dice,
it looked like other people might start going high.
So, I knew I'd feel a lot more comfortable if I locked in and got this early on.
At that point I just decided to go for it, you know?
Bravo!
Eun-yu, your prediction was successful.
That's amazing.
Tinno, you failed to predict your score.
Oof!
Hang on, did Eun-yu get it right?
Oh, yeah. She did.
Now I'll return your prediction cards.
Okay.
Get ready. Round 2 begins now.
You can do it, Tinno.
Please roll your nine open dice.
Come on.
Oof.
-Unbelievable. -Am I seeing things?
Your hidden dice.
What? That's amazing. Look at her dice.
Wow, that's crazy. She has five 6s.
Please place your hidden dice in their respective towers and roll them.
All she needs is one 6, and she'll have two sets.
Now it's time to submit your prediction cards.
And 7high, you're up first. So, please submit yours when you're ready.
This is gonna take me forever. Sorry.
I don't blame him. He takes a long time to choose the prediction.
What, really? Wow, that's insane, for real.
This has got to be a tough one for him.
Honestly, things were looking bad for me.
Eun-yu had a really good roll.
Same was true for Tinno, not to mention Ji-yeong.
So, I thought it would be almost impossible to make any big moves
or bank a lot of points.
Good luck.
Bad luck.
Bad luck? That's a little harsh.
Ji-yeong, please submit your card.
She won't go for zero again, right?
Man, the choices are really tough…
for everyone this round.
All right, Eun-yu, submit your score prediction card.
-She's gonna go for the max here. -Yeah, she has to.
I mean, has a Straight.
The dice came out really well for me at Round 2.
It was a huge relief. And so I decided to go for the max.
Tinno, please submit your card.
Okay, I'll go for this one.
What is he playing?
If I were him I'd do…
Either go with the minimum or the next one up.
Now, please submit your first dice combination.
7high, you're first in the order. Go ahead.
What's he up to?
These are the only good dice I have.
Just let me win one round. Please. I'm begging you!
7high, you're being really sus.
-Who, me? Ah, man! -Yep, really sus.
All right, Ji-yeong. Please submit your dice.
Doesn't Ji-yeong seem different
now that she's spent a couple days in prison?
They came out looking scary on the second day.
It was day two, right?
-Well, now she looks scary too. -She's freaking me out.
-Prison really does change you, I guess. -It does.
It's a Straight.
Okay, Eun-yu. Please submit your dice.
Are you going for it?
-I just have so many. -Oh, my God. You really do.
-Must be nice to be so rich. -Now, Tinno, your dice.
Think he's playing conservative?
-Hard to know what he bet. -He could just play his triple 1s.
-It's the triple 5s. -Yeah, triple 5.
All right, everyone has now played their dice.
Now, Tinno, please reveal your hidden dice.
Okay.
It's time to reveal the scores.
Eun-yu scores six points,
Tinno three points,
7high scores one point,
and Ji-yeong scores zero points.
Ji-yeong isn't doing it again, is she?
Yeah. Good question.
That's what it smells like.
-This time Eun-yu will go first. -You're both suspicious.
Please submit your second combination of dice.
Eun-yu can't win. He can play his triple 6.
Tinno? But we don't know what he bet on.
Wow. Yep, that's definitely the max.
Tinno.
All right. Hang on. What do I do about Ji-yeong?
No idea. Guess I'll leave it up to 7high.
Did he go for min?
-I think so. -No, I don't think so.
Now, 7high, please submit your dice.
Wow.
-Oh, don't do it. Come on! -No way.
-What? -7high.
Think I was gonna twiddle my thumbs forever?
No bluffing, so it must be a triple 6. I think they both have them.
Okay Ji-yeong, please submit your dice.
I'm doing that if I end up in prison.
I wouldn't. You'd look crazy.
Man, what the heck is that?
Wow, that's a confusing move.
All players have now submitted their dice.
Now, Eun-yu, 7high, and Ji-yeong,
would all of you please reveal your hidden dice?
Let's see what you've got.
Oh, yikes.
Good job.
Now, Ji-yeong, please reveal your hidden dice.
Ji-yeong is taking no prisoners.
Oh, my God.
-Oh, I knew it. -I will now reveal the scores.
Eun-yu and 7high scored 4.5 points each.
Tinno scored one point,
and Ji-yeong got zero points.
-She went for zero? -I guess so.
Is someone gonna stop her?
Guess it's not easy to stop someone getting zeros,
'cause they have to match their own prediction too, right?
Still, you can't just let it slide.
Ji-yeong has nerves of steel, I swear.
Come on. What are you talking about?
The only thing she can get is 5. So, we blocked it with a 5.
But… what about that?
If that was her…
Wow. Yeah, it's zero. I can feel it.
It's zero.
Okay, Eun-yu. You have the most points.
So, you'll go first this time.
The order's driving me nuts.
How can we block it?
God.
Blocked again.
I don't know what to do here.
It's your choice.
Oh!
A five, four. There's nothing smaller than one, though.
Why did she do that?
If that's a one, she's a legend.
Oh, you mean if she had a one but played it like that to hide it?
If it's 5, 4, 1, then Ji-yeong will get it.
Tinno, please submit your dice.
Now, 7high, please submit your dice.
-He has to block, right? -She's really in control.
Because Ji-yeong definitely has a zero.
What would I do if I was Ji-yeong?
Look into my eyes.
Wow.
Oh! Really?
Oh, she did it again.
You're something else.
-She's went for zero again? -Zero again.
Wait, like, did you see her expression? It's zero. Yep.
Guys, I can't block her.
-Gotta take the risk, I guess. -I did what I could.
Ji-yeong, please play your dice.
Is it one, four, five? Ji-yeong's just like "bang, bang, bang".
What is there to think about? That's even scarier.
-Oh! -Right?
There's no way it could've been zero.
Zero wouldn't have made any sense.
She's not stupid. She already got 40 points.
Why would she go for zero again?
Please reveal your hidden dice.
I will now reveal the scores.
Tinno gets six points,
Ji-yeong gets three points,
and finally 7high and Eun-yu get a half point each.
Okay, and now for the score prediction cards.
7high, your prediction was successful.
Ji-yeong's was successful too.
And Eun-yu's…
-was successful. -Wow.
-Tinno? -And Tinno…
Your prediction…
Your prediction was successful.
-Wow. -That's lucky.
-The heck? When did she get 46 points? -Oh, my gosh.
Ji-yeong must be petrified.
They're coming for her.
She really has to rack up the points now.
Round 3 is about to begin.
Oh, not again. I hate going first.
Please roll your open dice.
Well, first Eun-yu got a max,
and then Ji-yeong got a zero, so the two of them were safe for a while.
They both had high scores.
And I was only four points behind 7high
so I went into Round 3 thinking,
"Oh, man. It's going to be a fight to the death with this guy."
This is the first time I've had sweaty palms in a prison match.
-Really? Show me the money. -I'm anxious.
Mmm.
Geez, from one extreme to the other.
Though break, huh?
Ji-yeong's got the zero.
-Oh, good lord. -Oh, crap.
-Look at that. -No kidding.
Eun-yu and Ji-yeong look good for zero.
7high definitely has to… has to go for the max.
Time to submit your score prediction cards.
Tinno, you're up first this time.
-Come on… -Please submit your card.
If Ji-yeong and Eun-yu both have their eyes on zero…
-I know, right? -Damn, that'd be a showdown.
I have no idea what Ji-yeong's going for.
-This is driving me crazy. -Tell me about it.
I'm walking into a minefield with a blindfold on.
-Yeah, I… Nope. -I can't predict it.
-No way in hell. -You'll never guess it right.
Don't even try.
All right. Please submit your first combination of dice.
We will start with Tinno.
Okay. Hang on a second. What should I play?
Ah, no, no, no. Better to change up my spot.
That'll make this easier.
The order of turns is a vital consideration
for every player in Triple Dice
because ultimately, the person who goes last
has some degree of sway over how the other players finish the game.
Part of the reason Kang Ji-yeong succeeded in getting zero in the first round
was because she went last in two of the three turns.
She was able to cleverly exploit her position in the order of play
for her long-term advantage.
Tinno, on the other hand, who went first or second in all three turns,
must be feeling pretty frustrated right now.
In a sense, his hands have been tied up to this point.
Huh? Wait. What is he doing?
If that's a three, it's a straight.
7high, please beat me right now.
Please.
All right, 7high, please submit your dice.
Okay. And now, Ji-yeong, please do the same.
Ah, she's not going for zero. She's going for the minimum.
Eun-yu, it's your turn. Please submit your dice.
Oh, come on! Enough already!
I hate it. Why do you play your dice like this?
What do you hate?
-Being first or… -Going first.
I don't want to go first or second. It sucks.
She wants to go this way.
I don't wanna go this time.
-She's just done. -Seriously.
I have no choice.
All players have now submitted their dice.
What the… Oh, she went with a triple.
Please reveal your hidden dice.
Well, at least I'm not going first.
Now, she's going first. I'm only going one turn later, though.
Yeah, huge progress.
All right, 7high. Please reveal your hidden dice.
It's driving me nuts.
-Straight! -That means our points…
Eun-yu scored six points.
7high and Ji-yeong scored two points each.
And Tinno scored zero points.
-Wait, Tinno got… -Tinno got zero.
Oh, he got zero.
This time, Eun-yu will go first.
Man, I really don't want to go first, guys.
Damn it. I was trying to lose, and I still ended up second. Crap.
What did you play, Tinno?
Was it a zero?
What the heck?
I didn't really have the nerve to do that…
-You did, right? -…given my situation. I'm in last place.
-You're brave. That's worth something. -I just need one little stroke of luck.
For some reason my dice are terrible this round.
You just want to win one round?
Let's just say if you let me do that, I'd be grateful. Just one, just one.
Did he see?
Go ahead, Tinno, please play your dice.
I'll find out what Tinno has.
Come on. I just need one little chance.
Well, I gotta say I had no idea you'd play that on your first turn.
Just once.
-All right, 7high… -Look at that.
…go ahead and play your dice.
He's got a zero.
-But unfortunately the bad news is… -What?
Well, I bet 7high's gonna block it, no question.
-Ji-yeong will, too. -You're right.
If they're just gonna block it, what can he do?
Tinno has zero.
I think Tinno might be bluffing. Or maybe he went for a minimum?
-Mmm. Think he might have a minimum. -Yeah, do you?
Well, because he has that triple four.
Okay. There's a lot riding on this, so I'm gonna take my time.
Okay, okay, this is stumping me here. So that's the only difference in points.
What do I do?
I think that's it. Uh, so I'll just…
Uh, let's see. If I let Tinno win this turn…
Wait. What's he doing?
Do you think 7high is agonizing over whether or not to block it?
Yeah. He might be on the fence.
I don't know. I thought his dice were pretty good.
Uh-huh, uh-huh, uh-huh. Okay, okay, okay.
Okay, I'm ready. Here we go.
Wow.
Nice. Mmm.
Okay, okay, okay. That's it. I think I'm done.
Okay.
All right, Ji-yeong, please play your dice.
Wow.
Okay, okay, okay.
Two question marks?
All players have now submitted their dice.
Now, please reveal your hidden dice.
Guess you don't wanna.
Wow.
Now, Eun-yu, please reveal your hidden dice.
-It's a five. -Are they sharing it?
Ji-yeong and Eun-yu get 4.5 points each,
Tinno gets one point,
and 7high gets zero points.
But if Eun-yu went for the max, that'd be incredible, right?
Why didn't the order change?
Well, I was assuming I would lose.
Can we just get rid of the order?
-Come on. -I wish.
Why does no one else get to go first?
Eun-yu, you'll go first this time.
Play your combination of dice.
Tinno, please play your dice.
Now 7high.
Now, Ji-yeong, please submit your dice.
Wow.
All right, 7high, please reveal your hidden dice.
-Six. -Hey.
Nice, six.
Good!
Good, good.
7high scored six points.
Tinno scored three,
Eun-yu scored one point…
…and Ji-yeong scored zero points.
All right and now I'll reveal each player's predictions.
7high yours,
was successful.
7high nailed it, huh?
Ji-yeong, yours was also successful.
-What the heck? Everyone. -Eun-yu?
Eun-yu, yours…
yours failed.
And Tinno…
Please let Tinno's be min.
Tinno, your prediction failed.
No way. That's wild. Seriously!
What?
He had a zero?
At this point, I think Tinno
is basically the de facto leader of the living area team.
But the reality was, I couldn't afford to lose that round,
so I had to ding him a little on that one.
I had to keep him off my tail.
As soon as the round started, I got this feeling like,
maybe this is the one where Tinno goes all out and tries to win.
So I figured I'd have to anticipate his strategy
and counter every move he made
just to try to put some more points between us.
I needed to close that gap.
And when he randomly played that 2 and 4, I knew he was going for zero.
I really hoped your hand wasn't going for that two.
-I agonized over it a lot. -You killed it.
Ah, Tinno.
Man, I guess 7high just blocked everything Tinno tried to do.
-Good! -It's not over yet.
That's true.
Round 4 is about to begin.
-All Tinno can do is go for zero, right? -Yep.
And all they have to do is stop him.
-They might gang up. -Yeah, true.
Everyone, please roll your nine open dice.
Is Lady Luck really gonna stand me up?
Ah, even luck is a skill.
Okay.
Oh, I'm not sure about that.
-Yeah, he has two 4s. 1, 3, 4… -Right.
He could still make it happen.
But the other three aren't just gonna stand there.
Oh, yeah. Of course not.
There's a one, two, four on that side too.
All three of them have something to block.
Please put your hidden dice in the towers and roll them.
I think it's worth going for a max if he gets a four and five.
So he gets a four and five, and goes for max.
So, if he scores 12 points, that would make 24.
If he finds a way to deal with 7high,
-he could make it, right? -I don't know.
Now it's time to submit your score prediction cards.
As the lead-off player, 7high will submit first.
Okay. So, basically it'd be an 8-point difference…
How do I stop that from happening?
Gotta pray.
It was gonna come down to an 8-point difference.
So I had to figure out a strategy, in case Tinno doubled his points.
And I had to have dice to cover zero,
since there was a good chance he'd go for that.
What can I do? He's got the point.
Got me on the ropes here.
Ji-yeong, please submit your prediction card.
So, don't you think Ji-yeong could go for the max?
Man, this is gonna be a close one.
God, you guys are fighting tooth and nail for first.
We're bringing up the rear.
We threw the dice for Round 4 and I saw Ji-yeong's.
They were really strong.
Okay, Eun-yu, please submit your prediction card.
Hmm.
It's a different vibe in here now.
And now, Tinno, please submit your card.
I bet Tinno's agonizing over this one, since it's going to be the last round.
Why has his luck with dice been so bad?
Okay. Three Pairs.
All right. It's time to play the first turn.
7high, you're going first this time.
Please go ahead and submit your dice.
Triple four?
That's what it'll be, right?
If it's just a pair of 4s, then maybe he's just trying to force Triple 5s.
-Could be, yeah. Could be. -Yeah.
Ji-yeong, please go ahead and play your dice.
Everyone's playing blind dice, huh?
All right, Eun-yu, please play your dice.
This is driving me nuts.
Geez, I know.
Okay, okay, okay.
And now, Tinno, please play your dice.
Wow.
Whichever way I did the math, it didn't look good.
Even if I went for the max and got six points on all three turns,
as long as 7high got six, he would've beaten me.
And now, Tinno, please submit your card.
I realized I had no choice but to go for zero,
and I'm sure they all figured that out too.
But lucky for me, I was going last.
So, since I was in that position,
I had to make it look like I was playing my strongest dice.
Eun-yu played a three, five, and a hidden dice.
And the highest dice I could play was a three, five, and a six.
So, I was kind of between a rock and a hard place.
I had to play that, or one of the best dice I had,
which is either my one or two.
But if I did that, I'd be totally screwed on the next turn.
You got this. Just focus.
Okay. So, if I can…
All players have now submitted their dice.
It's time to reveal your hidden dice.
Let's see.
Amazing.
Okay. I did not see that coming.
That was unexpected. Wow.
That's what I'm talking about! Let's go.
Eun-yu, please reveal your hidden dice.
And now for the scores.
Ji-yeong gets six points,
7high gets three points.
Eun-yu gets one point,
and Tinno gets zero points.
Please submit your second combination of dice.
Ji-yeong will go first this time.
-She's trying to block? -No, I don't think so.
I see. I think she wants to use those 4s to get 6 points.
-Then is that a 4? No, wait. She has a 5. -No, that's a 5.
Eun-yu, please go ahead and play your dice.
Why are you glaring at me?
If I played one, two, four, it would guarantee that Tinno would be eliminated.
And even though I knew he had to go,
it was tough when I realized I would have to pull the trigger.
So, what? Should I block or not?
Let's give it one more turn.
Tinno, your turn. Please play your dice.
Hang on, can I change my dice?
Huh? You can't do that.
Your turn is over already.
I really screwed up at that point. I just wasn't thinking.
I should have just played a pair,
but, honestly, my dice were so bad that I thought I'd get second place.
So I was like, "Oh, if I'm going to get second place, I'll just bet zero."
But in the first round, I already got one point,
and my zero was gone, and I had to adapt really fast.
So I came up with a new strategy…
I knew there was a fixed number of turns left,
so I thought I'd use this turn to get my points,
then set the order of play.
And I'd wait until the next turn to break a zero.
So I used the four in a straight to get as many points as possible.
Then I was like, "How am I gonna play one, two and four in the next turn?"
But then, when I looked down, I didn't have a one, two and four.
I'm losing my damn mind.
Wow, I can't believe that it's coming down to the two of them.
I checked other people's dice first
because I didn't have the dice to block him on my own.
Ji-yeong and Eun-yu's dice both had one, two, and four.
So I thought they'd catch on and block him,
but they didn't end up keeping him in check,
so I got really frustrated.
7high, please go ahead and play your dice.
GG.
Okay. All players have now submitted their dice.
He wins if it's a one.
Please reveal your hidden dice.
Good.
-Very good, very good. -And now for the scores.
Eun-yu scored six points,
Ji-yeong scored three,
Tinno scored one,
and 7high scored zero points.
My dice were all so high. My hands were tied.
God, if only there was one under that cup, then Tinno would be back in this thing.
I'm glad it was you that dealt the death blow.
That game with Tinno was really meaningful,
'cause he was my guy, and he was so damn good at those kind of games.
It was bittersweet to finish that way.
We both fought so hard, but, at the end of the day,
I was proud to take the win.
All right, Eun-yu,
please submit your dice.
Now Tinno.
And 7high.
And Ji-yeong.
All players have now submitted their dice. Please reveal your hidden dice.
-Ji-yeong gets six points. -Wow.
-7high gets three points. -Well played.
Eun-yu gets one point, and Tinno gets zero points.
Really good play, 7high.
All right, it's time to reveal your score prediction cards.
-7high, yours was successful. -Nice.
Ji-yeong, your prediction failed.
Eun-yu, your prediction failed.
And Tinno, your prediction failed.
That concludes the game.
-Wow. -And now it's time for the final scores.
Wow. Good job, guys.
Congratulations, Kang Ji-yeong.
You'll be awarded one Piece, because you got the highest score.
-Nice work. -Here is your Piece, Ji-yeong.
And, Tinno, because you have the lowest score…
-I had so much fun, guys. -…you'll become the 7th player eliminated…
-It was so great. -…from The Devil's Plan.
Tinno, it's time to pack your bags and hit the road.
Hey, thank you.
-It's okay, Tinno. -I had a great time playing.
-Ji-yeong. -You're the best.
-Hey, get me a vitamin next time. -Okay.
-Dude, I don't-- -Don't have to say a word. I know.
See you soon. See you again.
Ah, what's happening? It's so weird.
They're dropping like flies out there.
-I kind of feel like it's my fault. -Huh?
Why would you say that?
Well, because Hyun-joon asked me.
We're all in it together.
Go. You know, I should have tried to…
-No, no. -You did…
Uh, I…
It's okay. It's okay.
-I know, but rules are rules. -I'm outta here.
-Take care, dude. -See you soon!
-Great job, Tinno. -Get home safe.
The Devil's Plan was such a special time for me.
Look, I'm a board gamer at heart,
so the best thing that could happen to me
is to be forced to play games for a week with a bunch of really awesome people.
It was like a dream come true.
And, of course, I wanted to go all the way and play more games.
And I regret not being able to play with some of the other guys,
but it was still a fantastic experience.
And, as we get closer to the end,
I really hope that Kyuhyun, 7high or So-hui
will make it to the final and come out victorious.
Bye. See you later.
THE DEVIL'S PLAN DEATH ROOM
That officially concludes the prison match.
All players, please return to the living space at this time.
-Thank you. Goodbye. -Bye.
-Thanks a lot. -Thank you.
Ah, 7high, I'm so sorry.
Why are you apologizing?
Anyone could've slipped up like that. You were focused on your own game.
I just felt a little, I dunno, stressed out
because of the situation I was in.
Well, still I feel bad.
Forget about it. Why do you keep apologizing?
Well, I had I set up some stuff, and I could have ended it myself.
Don't worry about it. It's okay. Really, it's okay.
Come on. Anyone can make that mistake.
-Still, I just feel bad… -All's well that ends well.
Made it through alive, didn't we?
-I'm grateful, 7high. -I'm really sorry. I am.
-It should've happened that way. -You were playing your own game.
It's not that. Right at the end, I made that mistake--
Just forget about it. Seriously. It's not worth dwelling on, okay?
The other guys are gonna be on edge after this.
They've seen two of their guys come to prison
and get slaughtered in the match.
I think we have to seize this opportunity.
Let's puff out our chests. Put on a show of strength.
You think you can send someone to prison for fun?
Go ahead.
Honestly, if it was anyone else, I wouldn't be feeling like this.
Kyuhyun, what's up?
Oh, just thinking.
Do you want to be alone?
No, I'm just taking a minute.
Did you know that So-hui can sleep standing up? Like a horse.
Everyone, please leave.
Wait, but look at our cat. Aw, he's being so cute right now.
As long as you maintain your balance, this is pretty comfortable.
Yeah, I bet.
We don't have much time. Who knows? We might be in prison tomorrow.
That's true.
All right.
-Let's go. -Are you leaving because we came in?
Man, it feels so lonely in here when no one's talking
-or hanging out. Kinda eerie. -That's so true. Yeah, it is.
We need to start shouting of something.
-Make some noise in here. -Exactly.
When you're home alone, you don't usually feel lonely, right?
-Right. -But for some reason,
-anytime someone leaves this room… -Mmm. Sure.
…it just feels so gloomy and empty.
Like it's haunted.
I've never felt that way anywhere else. Why?
Why are you following me?
Why don't we just do ten laps while we're here?
-And go. -Why are you guys following me?
Ah, to be honest with you…
this is just nice.
I better hit the sack.
He's running away.
Damn it. That startled me.
I love that it shocks you every time.
Well, it just gets me every time. It's a shock to the system.
The other thing I keep thinking about
is what kind of message we've sent to the other guys.
Like, what does it feel like from their point of view?
Well, I'll say the big thing is, we got rid of their leader.
Today, we eliminated their de facto president.
I think he was, kind of, directing the whole thing, you know.
When you lose your leader,
it can cause conflict, instability, stuff like that.
So I think they're at their most vulnerable right now.
This is when they'll start making mistakes,
and we can't miss any chance to exploit that.
We have an opportunity for the first time today.
-I think we better get some rest tonight. -Look for weakness.
Yeah, for real. I need to go to bed early, guys.
I haven't been sleeping well at all lately.
Sounds good.
Well played today. Good job, y'all.
I really suck at the kind of game we played today.
So whatever we play tomorrow has got to be better than that.
I dunno, I guess I… I just feel a little disappointed…
Mostly myself. Like, maybe I betrayed him or something, you know?
Betrayed him? You didn't betray anyone.
I know we were just playing a game, but given the way things turned out,
I just feel guilty about it.
We did what we had to do to survive, even if it was a little underhanded.
We had to be opportunistic.
And look, So-hui, I know you just did
-what me and Tinno just told you to do. -Me too.
-Well, I made my choice. -What do you mean?
It's just that the timing happened to be right,
so I was like, "Okay, let's do it like this."
But even if it wasn't the four of us, the same thing would've happened.
At least, that's the way I see it.
We need to break the curse of the prison.
Right.
I had one drink and it's already 1:00 a.m.
Oh, it's past 1:00.
Sleep well.
-Yeah, good night. -Thanks.
I just remember how every morning I'd wake up and go to the gym,
and he'd greet me with this big grin and go, "How'd you sleep, bud?"
He was always trying to keep our spirits up.
He always putting other people ahead of himself.
So, it was painful to see him go like that.
Thank you.
Why are you sitting there like that?
-I don't know. I just got up. -Oh, really?
-Hey. -Hey.
I'm nervous about today's game.
I wonder what it's gonna be.
Don't you think Eun-yu's probably tired
from lack of protein or vitamins, or something?
She needs her nutrients.
Oh, chicken and rice porridge?
Oh, peaches too.
-We have peaches today. -Huh?
We have peaches today, so breakfast is my priority.
Yeah, I dropped my peach on the floor, but I just picked it up and ate it anyway.
Never pass up a peach.
-That's so gross. -What was I supposed to do?
-They gave us two slices. -That's nasty.
I didn't know it was chicken porridge today until I started eating.
I was like, "Yes," and then I found chunk of chicken like this big.
Things are looking up.
What are you talking about? I think you're losing your mind.
What? I found a huge chunk of chicken.
So, I have a good feeling about today.
So, what's the plan? Four against three?
Eun-yu, you can do whatever you want.
Just let me know. I've been down this road before,
-and I've had my heart broken. Okay? -I didn't mean…
we should blow up our alliance.
-You want to add someone? -Yes.
Who are you thinking?
I think we need to see what the game is,
and instead of saying who would be ideal,
I think we should start with who we could realistically get.
Either Kyuhyun or So-hui.
Okay, but how are we going to convince either of them to join?
Like, what do we have to offer?
What if we asked what they gain by staying?
Tell them to remember what happened to Tinno.
Wait, do they have different relationships to Hyun-gyu?
How do they all fit together?
Give me a run-down of the politics.
The palace intrigue. Here we go.
Do you remember the second game?
So during the second game, Ji-yeong got three Pieces and I got one,
-so we managed to stay on that side. -Right.
From the point of view of people with Pieces…
So, the guys with four each, from their point of view,
they were helping those of us with one Piece.
-Me and Ji-yeong. -Right.
But Hyun-gyu said he was opposed to that.
-Hyun-gyu didn't want to? -Right.
You're gonna push her?
If you tell me to. I will discuss it with Kyuhyun.
And I will do it if he tells me to, but I don't want to get blood on my hands.
Well, then she's gonna win.
Exactly, but we have to wait and see.
Kyuhyun, from now on, let's find a different way to pick teams, okay?
From day one, I haven't been on the same side as 7high.
Once we started playing, he realized there was nothing in it for him.
Ah.
So he came right out and said it on the second day.
AFTER THE UNKNOWN MATCH
While we're talking like this and being honest and sharing stuff with each other,
I know Hyun-gyu doesn't feel like he's in a legitimate alliance with 7high.
He's hesitant.
At this point, I just think he's… He's second guessing it.
And I get it. Because we basically just made a team,
because we're all living here together.
But it's not like we're all that close or anything.
And we didn't talk to him much.
Doesn't matter to me.
-Right, so… -I already knew.
So, after that conversation, we were determined to make a new alliance
starting on day three.
But tomorrow, I think it would be better for us not to go around like this, right?
-Right. -I really don't want to see
this prison-versus-living-quarters situation.
I don't want the vibe to continue like this.
So, okay, fine. Cool.
We all agreed on that.
But then as soon as the game started…
-All of a sudden… -Oh, Hyun-joon's ten Pieces.
He came with ten Pieces.
And suddenly the two of them were think as thieves.
So much changed overnight.
-Now both of them could win. -Right.
They both had a real advantage.
-They could sweep it. -I get it. Yep, right.
And in any case, if that happens, from our perspective,
-he would be going to prison. -Definitely.
But then, all of a sudden, he made an alliance with us.
-So, yeah, that's why I was like… -So then you decided… Oh, right. Okay.
So then I realized, that must be who Tinno and So-hui were cozying up to.
But as far as I'm concerned,
he was just using them to shore up his position.
That's my opinion at least.
So we have to make a choice. Whose team are we joining?
And I think we have to go with them.
They're gonna have the winner.
I realized that their ultimate goal was just to accumulate a bunch of Pieces
and hold on to that larger advantage.
That's how things have worked so far.
And after that?
A-After what?
How would I know? I've been in here.
Oh, right. Makes sense.
Hmm.
The thing we need to look at is the source of all the mistakes.
It was almost always the same.
-No one was keeping track of things. -Mm-hmm. True.
-Tinno was always good about that. -Yeah,
but now, if we all just say what we're going for in the game,
-and I don't listen. -It's you!
-He does it his way. -This drives me nuts.
I'll listen, I swear.
Watch the footage at some point.
See how much you ignored me.
Hyun-gyu, did you use that shape just now? You know, that one arrow that I lent you.
This one with the basic arrow like this?
I told you, he's not listening.
Did you use that arrow?
-This one? -Oh, God damn it. Bastard.
Me? Sorry. What? Oh, I'm sorry.
Yeah, I'm sorry.
-Whatever. -You know how some people
get super in the zone when they're studying?
-Here we go. -That's me.
Someone could be yelling in my ear and I wouldn't listen.
Gotta tap me on the shoulder.
Guys, I'm so scared of Ji-yeong's glare.
And what about Kyuhyun?
He told me he wasn't sure if he was making the right moves.
He's been saying that since day one, and he's gonna be unsure
-until he gets eliminated. -So, what? You can't trust him?
No, he doesn't know. He never knows.
He doesn't know now. He won't know later.
He'll won't be sure about anything until he's dead.
-Also, why's he saying that? -What about So-hui?
-He's doing fine right now. -To be honest,
I never know what the hell she's thinking. So hard to read.
I think So-hui is good at sitting back and letting other people do the work for her.
-She knows the position she's in. -Yeah, yeah, yeah.
She knows she's smart. She knows she can use that,
and it's still working for her,
so, she just sits there and lets other people make the big moves.
That way she never gets any blood on her hands.
So it sounds like we need to treat So-hui as an enemy for now, yeah?
My guess is, she's probably keeping a close eye on Hyun-gyu,
and planning what to do if she ever plays against him.
We're probably not even on her radar because we don't have any Pieces.
Oh, my God. That's so sad.
Even if we pooled all our Pieces together, we still couldn't match one of them.
-How many would that be? Uh, seven? -That's depressing.
It's four, two, two. That's it.
We have eight.
-So what are you thinking? -Right now?
Mm-hmm. Are you going to keep playing with the people here? Or…
-Me? -Where's your head at with alliances?
They're all gonna be broken eventually.
Well, when this one breaks, it breaks, I guess.
-But, you know. Um, that's just… -Oh, right.
So, until that happens, you're just gonna stick by your people
and ride the wave to a resounding victory?
Well, ultimately, I think this is what's gonna happen.
I mean, there's no guarantee that we'll get to the end,
but, as we keep playing,
-I think the alliance is going to… -Right.
-…break apart naturally. -Naturally.
I don't think we're at as much of an advantage as we could be.
One of us always has to go away.
Like, today, I think one of us is going to end up in prison.
And one of them is gonna come here.
And if that situation arises today, and we can get rid of someone,
I think it should be Hyun-joon.
I think where you spend the night matters a lot.
Yeah, it's important, for sure.
They've all been living here from day one,
and I'm very aware that I'm the only one who's moved in.
It's impossible not to feel like a bit of an outsider,
and I'm still feeling that to some degree.
To be honest, even on day one,
I was thinking I should bring the guys from the prison over here
and eliminate all the people in the living area.
But the reason I've been cautious about trying something like that
is because they have a huge alliance.
If I get rid of one of them, the rest of them will unleash hell on me.
But I have to start thinking about this differently,
'cause I'd be happy to get rid of someone
as long as I'm confident I can beat the people left over.
A tectonic shift is going to have to happen. Fast.
I don't know why, but I think today's game is going to be really intense.
I just have a feeling.
I mean, usually when you have a feeling it's spot-on.
What I'm worried about is if we have to play in teams of three?
-Oh, yeah. That'd be weird. Yeah, right. -Three at the most.
One person would have to play separately.
That's true.
I don't think today's game is going to be too dependent
on how many Pieces you have.
It doesn't make sense given where we're at.
No, yeah, I agree, but I think the game today
is going to be the death match for me.
I've been thinking the same about myself.
Yeah, totally agree.
All of us are hanging on by a thread. On life support.
I can't come back here and play another prison match.
-That's not an option. -Me neither.
I want my clothes back!
I'm tired of wearing a sack.
-You're gonna say that in front of me? -Yeah, I know. Sorry.
I do feel bad for you,
but that just seem like your natural outfit now.
-Oh, come on. -Ouch.
You know, you're the only original member of the prison gang left.
-Hyun-joon went over to the dark side. -Hyun-joon managed to escape
by shimmying through the air vent.
"Shimmying through the air vent"?
Now it's just you. The chosen one.
Yeah, he was smart. He ran for his life.
The thing about the living area…
What I don't understand is, like, even after hearing about what went down,
-no one seems to be wary of Hyun-gyu. -Well, because he got obsessed.
He put so much effort into opening that door.
So when he finally did, nobody wanted to be like,
"Hyun-gyu, are you really the right person to go in?"
-They were all just-- -Okay, I get that. That kinda makes sense.
But, once he went through, there was a hint about the final match, right?
And, I mean, the rest of them aren't stupid.
Some of them are probably thinking ahead
and strategizing about playing against him in the final.
He's the worst.
Someone's got to be conspiring to get rid of Hyun-gyu, right?
I don't know. Sometimes it feels like I'm going crazy.
Like, I'm the only one wondering why no one wants to get rid of this guy.
He knows how to navigate the politics and stuff.
-He's good at that. -Hyun-gyu is?
I don't know, guys.
I think today might be the day where people start to rein him in.
-Hyun-gyu? -Yeah, why not?
Yeah, I mean, if you've got half a brain and you're thinking ahead to the final,
-getting rid of Hyun-gyu makes sense. -He has to go!
One way or another, he has to go before the final.
That's why I was hoping he'd end up here last night.
That's so funny.
By the way, if we're going to bring someone over to our side,
I think we need to make a decision pretty soon.
So, let's talk.
-That's what I've been saying. -So who?
Hyun-joon.
Can we get him?
-Hyun-joon? -Honestly, he's the person
I think I could actually convince to come over.
He's also the one person who's been consistent.
He's always kept his word. At least to me.
Don't you think he might feel like he's signing up to run a day care?
-What do you mean? -The 2-2-4 daycare center.
He's gonna have to take care of all of us.
Well, we're just throwing it out there. We have to say something like,
-"Hyun-joon, you have the most pieces… -"Protect us please."
…you're gonna end up in the final.
Do you really want to end up there with Hyun-gyu?"
We have to make it clear that sticking by Hyun-gyu isn't going to be good for him.
If he's going to final, he could win.
We have to spin it like, "If you stay with Hyun-gyu and keep playing with him,
you're guaranteeing him a spot at the final. You're setting him up."
Or me and Hyun-gyu could switch places.
No, Hyun-gyu won't come here. He'll never do that.
-It'd be too big a hit to his pride. -Zero percent chance.
He'll always stick with the people who best serve his interests.
You know, Kyuhyun doesn't have much leverage over there, though.
-Out of the four of them. -True.
So, there's a good chance Kyuhyun would join.
It could be a big gesture if he joined us, but it's dangerous.
-Oh, believe me. I don't trust him at all. -What if he starts spying?
He seems like the kind of guy who would play both sides.
I don't trust him. I've said it before, but he's already screwed me over twice,
so I'm not putting my faith in him.
And I think that's justified, because the guy has no integrity.
Well, what would he have to do?
What would he have to do to regain your trust?
He can't. He can't. I don't think it's possible.
Yeah, that's long gone.
All right. I'm gonna go wash up a little.
The fit on this looks a little different, even though it's the same.
Guys, can I wear this?
I'll give you the once-over.
It's the exact same thing you have on.
-Attention. Today's main match… -It's gonna be tense.
-…will begin soon. -Lots of emotions flying around.
All players, please make your way to the game zone now.
-Good luck. -Good luck.
Everyone have their Pieces?
Yes, I've got mine.
Do I look okay? I didn't get a chance to look in the mirror.
-No, you're fine. -Do I look weird?
-You look great. You look fine. -No, you don't.
-What is it? -Here we go.
Whoa, look at this. White and black.
This one has a D and this one an A,
so I guess it's "devils" and "angels."
-And there are three colors. -Three colors.
There's definitely a pattern.
Morning.
-Good morning. -There you are.
Can I get a protein shake too?
Here you go, Ji-yeong.
-Did you sleep okay? -It's really tasty.
-That was so cool. The zero. -Thanks.
I bet it was tough seeing Tinno go.
It is what it is. In a game like that, it could've happened to anyone, you know?
We had to get rid of him. I did it all for you guys.
Tinno had a good chance of winning.
Good morning. Hopefully, you got some rest.
The fifth main match of The Devil's Plan will begin shortly.
As you know, Tinno was eliminated in last night's prison match,
and now only seven of you remain. Your numbers are dwindling.
Before we begin the main match let's review the standings,
and how many Pieces each player has.
Currently, Choi Hyun-joon is in the lead with a total of 13 Pieces.
Now, without further ado, it's time to introduce today's main match.
The fifth main match of The Devil's Plan
is called Balance Mancala.
-Mancala? -In Balance Mancala,
players have to move their counters and their opponent's counters
with the goal of collecting three different types of color points.
As you can see, the Balance Mancala board consists of 14 spaces in total,
12 color spaces and two special spaces.
The color spaces are either red, blue or green,
all of which are arranged in a specific circular pattern.
As for the two special spaces
there is one angel in white and one devil in black.
Before the game officially begins,
players will draw lots to determine the order of play.
Each player will also be given four identical counters.
Once the order of play has been decided,
all players will take turns placing their counters on the board,
beginning with the player in first position.
This process will be repeated four times until all counters are on the board.
At this early stage, no more than two counters can be on any one space.
Once all the counters are placed, the game shall begin.
The first player will begin by choosing a space with one of their counters on it.
They will then pick up all the counters on that space, not just their own,
and place them one by one on the next few spaces, moving clockwise.
When they place the final counter on the board,
whichever player controls that counter will be awarded points
based on the number of counters on that space.
The points are shown in the column which matches the color of that space.
For example,
player A picks up two counters from a red space containing one of his counters
and places them on the next two spaces.
The last counter he placed belongs to player C,
and it was placed on a green space that already contains three other counters.
In this case, player C is awarded four green points
based on the total number of counters on that space including his own.
However, if the last counter is placed on one of the two special spaces,
points are awarded in the following way.
If it's placed on the angel space, the owner of the counter is awarded points
equal to the number of counters on the angel space
and in the color where they have the most points.
If it's placed on the devil space, the owner of the counter is awarded points
equal to the number of counters on the devil space
and in the color where they have the least points.
If more than one color is eligible
to receive points scored in a special space,
the player that first moved the counter will choose between them.
And as players move their own and their opponents' counters around the board,
they must work to maintain a balance between their scores.
If any one player reaches 30 points in any one color,
the game shall end immediately.
Once the game is over, each player's final score will be calculated
based on the total scores for each color.
The process is as follows.
First, a player's lowest score will be deducted from their highest score.
The number that results will then be deducted from their lowest score.
This is then the player's final score.
So, as you can see, to get the highest possible score,
you must ensure you accrue points evenly across all three colors.
But that's not all.
Any player with 15 points or less at the end of the game
will be forced to forfeit half of their Pieces as a penalty.
Wow.
And now for the final twist.
The player with the highest final score will be awarded five more Pieces,
which will be taken from the player with the lowest final score.
If the player with lowest final score has less than five Pieces in that instance,
they will have to give up all their remaining Pieces.
As for today's prize mission, the details will be revealed at the end of Round 5.
Oh, my God.
Now, before the game begins,
it's time to draw lots to determine the order of play.
I'll now begin the draw.
-The order seems huge. -Definitely.
Now that the order is set, the game will officially begin in one hour.
Until then, your time is your own, but use it wisely.
If you don't get more than 15 points, you have to give up half of your Pieces.
So you really gotta stay on your toes,
even if you're in an alliance.
Yeah, giving up half our Pieces would be tough,
but it's way worse for people with lots of Pieces.
This game's giving us a golden opportunity.
I hope we can all maintain a balance with each other.
It is called Balance Mancala.
I think we might lose some Pieces on this one.
Right. You can't really use them in the game.
We might have to give up half of ours,
but the other guys don't have much to lose.
If they have three Pieces, they only lose one.
-So the stakes are higher for us. -Good point.
You lose Pieces if you get under 15, and you lose more if you finish last.
So it could be curtains.
That's true.
If a player's final score is 15 points or less, they lose half of their Pieces.
And the player that finishes last has it even worse.
They'll be docked an additional five Pieces.
If none of the players manage to exceed 15 points in the course of the game,
the situation changes like so.
So the game of Balance Mancala
can have a pretty big impact on overall player rankings.
-If you lose half and then another five-- -You're dead.
I did the math. It wouldn't be pretty. How many Pieces do you have?
-Eight? -Eight. I'd be dead.
Exactly. This is a big one.
-Hyun-joon, you have 13, right? -Right. I'd lose six.
-So you'd lose six. You'd be in trouble. -Mmm.
-That'd be a problem. -So we can't afford
-to let them finish first. -We need to get first.
-You go for it. -Well, one of us has to get it.
It matters who goes right before and after you in the order
because your moves are gonna be partially determined
-by where they put your counters. -Mmm.
So it's a game of negotiation.
You might ask the person ahead of you to do something for you,
but then you might have to make a deal with whomever's next.
In Balance Mancala,
each player has to choose a spot with one of their counters in it
and then pick up all the counters there, including those of other players.
Then they have to place the counters one at a time, moving clockwise.
After that, the player whose counter was placed last
scores points equal to the number of counters in that space.
Also, the points are counted in that space's color.
It's important to note that the last counter a player places down
does not need to be their own.
So every player has ample opportunity
to help or hinder other players by giving them points.
My strategy is to divide the guys at the top
and tell one of them this is the only chance they'll get
-to take their rivals down a peg. -Mmm.
It's safest for everyone if we get to hold the knife.
So the pitch is, "You make me win,
and if you make me win, I'll take their Pieces."
-So we go to Hyun-joon. -Then we decide later
who we actually want to take from them. Okay?
-Wait till after? -Right.
I'm saying let's make sure we decide who to kill.
Because it never works out the way you think it will.
We have nothing to lose now.
We've taken a beating and we've been in prison a long time,
so we're just going for it. That's it.
So we have to screw over number three. Who is that?
Who is number three?
-Let's find out. -We gotta move fast.
-We need to know that first. -Why'd they make an alliance like this?
I just wish we didn't have to play defense, you know?
Can we come in to check everyone's numbers?
-Sure. -What number are you?
-Uh, I'm number 6. Yep. -Six?
Hyun-joon, we're gonna need to talk to you later.
-Who's number one? -Me.
-So-hui's three. -Hyun-gyu.
-So-hui, you're three? -Yeah, three.
Uh, So-hui, can we talk for a minute?
What? Why?
So what's your objective for this game?
-My objective for this game? -Mmm.
Not to lose any Pieces.
-So just defense? Keep your pieces? -Yeah, pretty much.
Then why don't you, uh…
help me or Eun-yu win?
Well, how?
We can band together and do whatever we want.
This is that kind of game.
You're in a good position. We have nothing to lose.
And once the game's over, you and me would control all the points.
-And this stays between us? -Right.
So you would help us control the points.
You'd just have to give points to whoever we decide.
And then, in return, we'll take five Pieces
from whichever player you want. No questions asked.
-Mmm. -Look, So-hui.
Right now, the best thing for you to do
is take those Pieces from whichever player who you think poses a threat.
You gotta get ahead of this.
-Yeah, you're right. -I know.
Okay, well I think it'll be fine to go along with that and take five,
but we already agreed to play together today,
so I have to talk it over with those guys.
No, what you need to understand is you're sandwiched between us,
so we have some leverage too.
So this can go one of two ways.
-We can work together and keep the peace. -Okay.
Or we can come after all of you.
That's why I'm here right now. I wanted to give you a chance.
-Well, obviously, I'd rather cooperate. -Great.
Then you can't say anything to them.
-'Cause we have to go after them. -Gotcha.
Do you understand? Our target has to be one of these three.
All right. Then I choose him.
You want to attack Hyun-joon?
But let me talk it over with them first.
-Real quick. -Oh, no, that's fine.
It's just, if you don't want to do it, then we have to find another strategy.
But, you know, like I just said,
-if you want to do it… -Yeah?
…we can make a move like this and we'll be unstoppable.
Then we do this and we'll be even stronger.
So, bottom line, we have to stick together
-no matter what. -Why don't we bring a few more in?
We'll be stronger as a team.
-You want to add Kyuhyun as well? -Yeah.
He keeps saying he wants to play with Eun-yu.
-So you wanna play like this? All the way? -Yeah, that'll be better.
Okay, okay.
So what are you going to do, then?
We're gonna fall apart at some point, so…
Well, I'm only asking because I really don't understand.
What are you gonna do once you kill all of us?
We have no power. We need to start killing each other.
If it gets to a certain point, it'll make a big difference.
So we'd go from ten…
What I'm thinking is, if we go like this we can kill one of these two.
If we band together like this,
-we can control Hyun-joon however we want. -Mmm.
So let's do it.
If we go forward with this plan,
you guys get to control the Pieces and collect them.
You have to take control, man.
Hey, one person on your team has a hint about how to win,
and the other has 13 Pieces.
What are you going to do?
You'll just be stuck in the middle, waiting to die.
So-hui has 11, too.
So you there you go! You have to rein them in even more.
I just don't know if that deal makes sense for us.
I mean, as long as you're not looking to rein So-hui in.
Okay. I need to think it over.
If you guys want to work something out, we need to get the rest of them in here.
Because I'll end up…
Oh, it's time to get rid of Hyun-gyu.
-Hey, fill me in too. -Okay.
We're set up for Hyun-gyu to get offed.
So, I went out there and I asked So-hui if she was interested.
And then she asked me if we could bring Kyuhyun into the fold.
She wants the four of us to play together, like this.
Then we get a say in what happens at the end.
We could definitely kill one of these two if we do this.
Wait, if we get him too, we can control all of this.
Yeah, here's the problem, though.
So-hui wants to kill him.
But not Hyun-gyu?
So what do you think?
He's not wrong. He makes a lot of sense.
Yeah, I think it might be for the best.
Because if we stick together,
we'll just have to go up against each other in the end.
-That's true. -Yep.
-I'm excited. -Really?
-What? -Hmm?
-What? -What?
-It's not gonna be easy. -What?
It's not the kind of game we were expecting.
Well, I was definitely expecting something different.
-Guess so. It's always changing. -Mmm.
We just have to stay locked in and use our firepower if they get rowdy.
At least we're all playing by the same rules, so isn't it a fair fight?
Honestly, I didn't wanna end up playing against Hyun-gyu,
and I didn't want to feel like I was betraying him, so…
This is driving me crazy.
Thing is, Hyun-gyu is still looking out for us.
-He wants us on his side too. -That's what I'm saying.
So the question is, do we just stay on the same road?
Keep playing like we have been?
Do we turn down 7high and stay loyal to Hyun-gyu,
and probably go down in a blaze of glory before we get to the final?
Or do we take the darker road and just stab him in the back this round
to increase our chances of going all the way?
-Can we talk for a sec? -Mmm.
Hyun-joon, could you give us a minute?
-Hyun-gyu. -Yeah?
Are they splitting off or what, 7high and Kyuhyun?
-Not much we can do if they are. -We just have to play.
Are they forming an alliance?
They told me to get lost.
-I don't know. I guess they are. -Are they teaming up?
I guess I'm the target. Of course.
-You've got a lot of Pieces. -I guess so.
Come here.
Should we be talking? We're 4 and 6. We're only one apart.
Kyuhyun's at 5. Me and him are gonna be talking a lot.
-What're we talking about here? -You need to be around
for me to negotiate with Kyuhyun.
I don't know if I trust him.
What's he doing in there? You think he's trying to screw me over?
Look, one of the things you're right about…
-Mmm. -…is that if we join you,
we can make sure we're still in the living area tonight,
and we'll have a much better chance of getting to the final.
But here's the thing, Hyun-gyu really trusts us
and he's relying on us in the match today.
Maybe now more than ever.
So the question is, are we gonna betray his trust
so that one of us can maybe get to the final?
-Or… -Okay, wait. But you have to--
-I know what you're going to say. -No, you're looking at this the wrong way.
Why can't you be a good friend if you win?
Is it wrong to betray someone so you can win?
Only one of us is gonna make it to the end.
The whole reason we're playing is to decide who.
So why do you keep bringing all these feelings into it?
Well, when you look at it the way 7high is,
it certainly becomes more interesting.
If what you really want to do is win,
eventually, you'll have to crush both of us, right?
Even if we help you, we're both going back to prison again.
Even if we get the Pieces, we still might end up in prison.
If either of us gets five, then we'd have seven.
That means prison.
And you said Hyun-gyu has a hint about the final match.
Yeah, he has some kind of hint, but he hasn't told us what it is.
If you really want to win,
but you don't want to take a chance and go after one of these two,
-then how the hell do you plan on winning? -Think about that, really.
For me, I came here thinking,
"I want to go all the way without betraying anyone."
But I don't want to just be remembered as a good person who got killed.
I don't want to be looked at as a fool.
In some ways, I think playing like that would be disrespecting the game.
He's not wrong. In fact, he's totally right.
I'm playing it safe right now.
But who knows? I could win or at least have a shot at making the final,
and if I don't take it,
the people watching at home will think I'm an idiot.
So should we join them?
Should we?
Just wait here a second.
-So those guys keep saying, -Yes?
"Do you just want to become cannon fodder? Don't you want to win?"
And the frustrating thing is, they're not wrong.
I mean, they're not.
Do whatever you guys think is right.
-You know where I stand. -Yeah, definitely.
So do what feels right.
Then can I go for it today?
Yeah, of course.
-Really? -If you wanna go for it, then you should.
-It makes me anxious. -How about we team up?
-Huh? -Just the two of us for today.
Well, yeah, I promised to play with you, didn't I?
-I think they're gonna gang up on us. -Hmm?
They're ganging up.
-We're gonna take it as far as we can. -Knock yourself out.
-We're on the chopping block? -I think so.
-All right. Duly noted. -Sounds like it.
We'd be stupid to just keep coasting along.
-I understand. I get it. -Yeah?
Okay. Well, I feel a lot better now.
I might get betrayed later, and if I do, I've brought it on myself.
But I can't worry about that now. I have to focus on today.
Let's do it.
-So how did you leave things? -I told them we're going for it.
What did you tell those guys?
That we're going to attack one of them.
We can do both. Make one of them finish last,
and the other lose half of their Pieces.
But they… they can't even make a real alliance.
They better make sure they're careful,
-and they balance their colors just right. -True that.
So, you know, we don't have anything to worry about today.
Oh, I'm not worried, just…
There's actually something working in our favor now.
The more they attack, the more points we can get.
So we should just put as many of our leftover counters here as we can,
on the angel dish.
-All of them here? -Mmm.
Trust me, this is gonna be like a little cheat code for us.
The angel space earns a player points equivalent
to the number of counters on it.
Those points are added to whichever color column contains the player's lowest score.
The devil space also earns a player points
equivalent to the number of counters on it.
But those points are added to the player's highest score.
So the angel helps balance a player's score,
and the devil throws off that balance.
This will prove critical in a battle with unequal alliances.
If we want to cover all our bases, we need to split up as much as possible.
If we're spread out over all 14 squares…
Right. Because we have to get all their counters.
-Exactly. -Okay.
We have 20 total, so we should distribute the other six around the devil and angel.
But if they're smart, they won't put them here.
They'll do whatever they can to avoid the three spaces before the devil.
So you're saying since we go clockwise,
-they'll avoid this area? -Right.
-And then they're gonna target this area? -At least at first.
They'll try to put them clockwise after the devil.
We need to get some points on the board.
Then once we have some balance, we push them toward the devil.
Attention. Your time is up.
All players, please assemble in the hall.
Get ready. Balance Mancala is about to begin.
It's time to place your counters.
You'll place one counter each. We'll start with Hyun-gyu, then go in order.
-This'll be interesting. Oh. -Good luck, Hyun-gyu!
Yeah, I thought he might do that.
Okay, 7high, please place your counter.
Now So-hui.
Eun-yu, you're up.
Kyuhyun.
And Hyun-joon.
And Ji-yeong.
Hyun-gyu, please place your second counter.
Why'd you do that?
-I just put two together, and one… -Oh.
-Spread 'em out. Yeah. -Spread out?
Now Hyun-joon.
All right, Hyun-gyu, please place your third counter.
Isn't this it?
Green, red, blue.
Now, you'll place your fourth and final counter.
Hyun-gyu will go first.
Man, he's smart.
-Uh-huh. I was just thinking that. -He's really smart.
Since the devil space is here,
we thought Hyun-gyu would put his counters clockwise from there.
But he did something really smart.
'Cause everyone is all spread out…
You can land on the devil early on.
Now 7high.
All right, let's see. Where don't I have covered?
-Well, I had no choice. -We'll see.
We will now begin Round 1.
Hyun-gyu, you'll go first.
Go ahead and move one of your counters.
All right. Hyun-gyu now has three points on blue.
-We let him get points so it balances out. -Oh, right.
We just have to keep it blue.
Next is 7high. Please move your counter.
So-hui's up next, so I think it's best if she…
gets the points.
-Hyun-gyu has four points on red. -What?
Okay, So-hui, you're up next.
Please go ahead and move your counter.
After placing her counter, So-hui now has three points on red.
Huh? That wasn't the plan. Why'd you move that one?
I told you to move that one.
-Oh, I see. -Yeah, that one.
I didn't know you meant that one.
It's still early days so it doesn't really matter.
But I specifically set that up
-for you to get points, okay? -You did? All right.
If they make the right move, they can get a lot of points.
Now, Eun-yu, please move your counter.
Okay. Eun-yu now has three points on blue.
Kyuhyun, it's your turn next. Please move your counter.
It's empty. It's probably smart
-to keep the angel space open. -I think so too. That'll be good.
Kyuhyun, you now have one point on blue.
It's your turn, Hyun-joon.
Please move your counter.
If Hyun-gyu gets three blue points, give him four red.
Right now, Hyun-gyu will be looking to get green points.
Yeah, but I don't think he can get any right now.
-Break it up. -Wait, what?
-That four. Not enough greens right now. -Mm-hmm.
Okay, I'll split this one up.
Okay. Put me here.
-Right, I'll put you here. -Exactly.
-I have one more then. Yep. -Put one here.
Goddamn it.
One, two, three. He comes here. He's getting green points.
-See, he can do that. Like that. -'Cause he's first?
Which gives them an opportunity…
We can't gather a lot of counters where they are
'cause they can then move a long way.
I like this game.
I will once I have some damn points.
-It's still early. -Still, I need insurance.
Keep giving both of them blue.
Hyun-joon, you now have four points on blue.
Ji-yeong, you're up. Please move your counter.
Okay, put it here and let's get some points.
All right, Ji-yeong. You now have four points on red.
And that concludes Round 1.
Okay.
We will now begin Round 2.
Okay, Hyun-gyu. Please move your counter.
Kicking off Round 2, Hyun-gyu has three points on green.
Nice and neat.
Right now, we have to be greedy and rake in the points.
I'm gonna try and get a ton.
But we can't give them too many points, though.
-That's true. -It's dangerous.
We need to give them points later. Toward the end.
7high, please move your counter.
In the early stages, we need to get some points for ourselves though.
Totally. That's what I'm thinking. Just keep tabs on them.
Guess so.
All right. 7high now has five points on green.
-Quite a few. Dang. -Good haul, dude.
So-hui, you're next. Please move your counter.
-Gotta go together. -Yeah,
it'll be good to put Hyun-gyu's like that.
All right. So-hui now has six points on green.
Eun-yu, your turn is next. Go ahead.
Eun-yu. Eun-yu.
There are too many on that green one right now.
-Why don't I move that? -We can't let anyone
get that many points at once. So I'm thinking we need to split it up.
-Right? -Mmm.
You wanna? Okay, let's…
-You see that? -Ugh, just getting those two was a hassle.
Ugh, I know. It's hard.
-They're tough to play against. -Eun-yu's turn is over.
-She has one point on blue. -Okay.
Kyuhyun, please move your counter.
-They're clearing it. -Huh?
They're clearing the board in front of us. That's their strategy.
-Well, then we can just take our time. -Okay.
-What? -Oh, nothing.
Just look out for yourself.
You're trying to end this one fast, right?
-Of course. -Mmm.
-Gonna give me some points? -Hmm?
-Gonna give me some points? -What're you goin' for?
-Nothing. You guys cleared everything. -That's the problem.
Your counters are all clumped up. Try and spread them out.
They're too easy to clear.
-I'm going. -Okay. That's right.
-Yeah? -Uh-huh.
Yep. I think that's the right move.
All right. Kyuhyun now has two points on green.
That's Hyun-joon's turn. He now has one point on blue.
Ji-yeong, you're up. Please move your counter.
And finally, Ji-yeong has two points on blue.
That officially concludes Round 2.
You and So-hui concentrate on marking them.
'Cause the three of us are taking a risk here.
And we might end up in a situation
where we might have to blow things up before we get to 15 points.
-We gotta go fast. -Yeah, that'd be bad, huh?
We need to attack and kill them. We don't have a choice.
Once we start throwing punches, the two of you need to go for it
-since you have a lot of Pieces. -Ji-yeong has two points on blue.
-Okay. Okay. -Trust me and focus on the attack.
We'll do the rest of the marking.
We will now begin Round 3.
Hyun-gyu, please move your counter.
Hyun-gyu is just trying not to get points.
All right. That gives 7high one point on green.
7high is also up next.
Please go ahead and make your move.
7high now has seven points on red.
So-hui, it's your turn next.
Please go ahead and move your counter.
All right. Kyuhyun now has seven points on red.
It's Eun-yu's turn.
-Wait, can I just take this one here? -Mm-hmm.
And that's her turn.
Eun-yu now has five points on red.
Kyuhyun, you're up.
-I need to go there, right? -Better to empty that one.
I'll do it. So, one here.
This is better, isn't it?
-Having them together. -Mmm.
There's not much I can do.
Let's see.
Okay, So-hui gets one point on red on that turn.
-Hyun-joon, you're up. -The priority is
-to keep getting each other points. -Mmm.
Please move your counter when you're ready.
All right, Hyun-joon, which color points would you like increased?
I'm going to go with green.
Right then. Hyun-joon gets four points on green.
We had no choice.
-We should've split it apart. -It's fine.
Ji-yeong, you're up.
Okay, so we need to look at that side first.
One, two, three, four.
-Got it. One, two, three, four, five. -One, two, three, four, five.
Three points for both.
Hyun-gyu will definitely take three points in green.
Isn't that okay?
-Hang on. One, two, three, four. -You should take this.
-He probably won't want red. -See what I'm saying?
-Where you going? -Over there, I think.
-You want to get the green? -Yeah, and then I'll…
And what are you going to do with the rest?
There are too many of them.
What're you talking about? There were more of you yesterday.
Well, this isn't a great game for alliances.
What are you gonna do after you spread out the points?
-Exactly. I don't know either. -Right.
Or, wait a minute, how about spreading these two out?
-These ones? -Yeah, just like that. Uh-huh. One each.
-They'd get three. -They'd get them anyway.
That's true. One, two, three, four.
But what if, instead of spreading these out…
We split that up?
Now, Ji-yeong gets one point on blue.
And that officially concludes Round 3.
Round 4 begins now.
With Hyun-gyu.
I'm just surprised by Hyun-gyu's attitude.
He seems so nonchalant when he's like,
"I can do it by myself."
I really wondered how he was gonna play, 'cause you never know.
He's always capable of surprises,
which makes him a scary opponent.
That's Hyun-gyu's turn. Hyun-joon gets two points on red.
-Thank you. -7high, you're up.
All right. 7high gets two points on blue.
-So-hui, your turn is next. -What's he going for next?
Okay, okay, okay. That's not too bad.
Okay, and 7high gets three points on green.
And another green. Eun-yu gets four points on green.
Kyuhyun gets two points on blue.
And next up is Hyun-joon's turn.
Come here. Hey, spread those.
If you do that, this will go to red.
So spread all those out. That's the move.
-Yeah, but if I get more blue-- -Forget the points.
-But I really need to get some. -Hey, don't worry. It's still early.
Plus, look, they don't have enough blue right now.
Seriously, look at the blue.
Two people can go there and there.
But I'm going to go there, so they can't get the blue.
Still, I don't really wanna get more blue.
-Hey. Leave the guy alone. -I'm thinking. Just trying--
-He can think for himself. -Mr. KAIST.
Yeah, exactly. Hyun-joon went to KAIST.
Hyun-joon's a little timid.
He's hesitating.
Hyun-joon. Hyun-joon.
If you get too many of one color early on, you'll be a target.
It's either gonna be you or him.
Hyun-gyu knows that, so he keeps telling you to get a lot of one color.
Play it safe and just get the green.
If you get too much of one color, you're done for.
-Make sure you try and keep it balanced. -All right.
-I was here, right? I'll put these back. -Mmm.
-What are you doing? -I'm going to get green.
-Are you scared? -I just want a green first.
Well, if you're scared…
Okay, the counter's placed. Hyun-joon gets one point on green.
Ji-yeong, you're up.
Already?
Now Ji-yeong can get the green. Why'd you do that?
Well, I don't know, it didn't feel right to just keep getting a bunch of blue ones.
-You scared? -They still have the most.
I'm discovering that there is definitely another side to Hyun-gyu.
He can be really controlling when he wants to take charge of a game.
All right. Ji-yeong now has five points on green.
And that concludes Round 4.
Ugh, this is tough.
So, you're just waiting right now.
We're waiting until Hyun-gyu makes a mistake and gets three or four reds.
The minute he does that, we swoop in and pile on the reds.
So we can get rid of him once and for all.
Round 5 begins now.
Hyun-gyu, please move your counter.
Okay, the last counter's down. Hyun-gyu gets one point on red.
And now, it's 7high's turn.
None of us have blue right now, right?
That's right.
-Hmm? No, hold on a second. -What? Leave this alone.
-So-hui needs to get this. -She can get them.
-So-hui needs these. -No, wait, look.
If we get this and put this here,
we can move two down here like this, and then she can get six. See?
-Okay. Right, yeah. -So we can both get points, right?
All right. 7high gets five points on blue.
So-hui, it's your turn.
Please move your counter.
So-hui gets six points on blue.
-And the next player up is… -Wow, six points? That's not bad.
Eun-yu, you're up next.
I think I'm gonna get a green.
-Okay, so Eun-yu gets one point on green. -Okay.
-Kyuhyun, it's your turn. -All right. What I'm thinking here is,
because I'm friends with Hyun-gyu…
And because Hyun-gyu is handsome…
-Well, what about 7high? -Y-Yeah, he's cool… he's cool too.
Why are you stuttering so much?
-How's that? -I think that's fine.
Okay, that's your turn. Kyuhyun gets two points on blue.
-Yep. -Now, it's Hyun-joon's turn.
Do whatever you want. Okay?
I think I just need red right now.
And Hyun-joon gets three points on red. Next up, it's…
Three's better than nothing.
It's Ji-yeong's turn.
Ah, done and done.
All right, and Ji-yeong gets two points on blue.
That officially concludes Round 5.
Oh, now we find out what the prize mission is…
Now, it's time to reveal the prize mission.
Please note, this will be the last prize mission on season two of The Devil's Plan.
This is the last one?
The mission is as follows.
Send another player's counter to the devil space,
and increase the score of their highest color by five points at once.
If you complete this mission five times over…
-What? -…a total of 100 million won
will be added to the prize money.
-Is that even possible? -Shouldn't be too bad if we do it early.
I think it'll be okay,
-but we have to do it now. -Yeah.
Attention. Round 6 is about to begin.
It'll work if we do it a little at a time, and we're careful.
-If someone lands there, it's five. -If you landed there…
-Sure, I could do it. -Yeah, that's good.
Hyun-gyu, please move your counter.
Let's see.
Now, I'm really freaked out.
So, 7high…
All right. Hyun-gyu gets two points on blue.
Go ahead, 7high. Your turn is next.
7high, which color would you like your points on?
I'll do red, please.
Okay, red, it is. 7high gets three points on red.
All right, So-hui is getting those four points on red this turn.
-Eun-yu, you're up. -Hang in there.
Kyuhyun, check it out. Me and you can do this.
I'll play this one. And then I'll put my counters like this.
One, two, three.
Then play this here and put mine there, and we got the first mission.
All right, 7high gets one point on green.
And now, it's Kyuhyun's turn.
Someone else needs to take this. You can just send me to the devil space.
You go here and send me there.
Now, Kyuhyun, please choose which color points to increase for Eun-yu.
-Do green. Green. -Yeah, I'll increase green.
Green? Okay, then.
Eun-yu gets five more points on green.
One of five missions has been completed.
Wow!
The first box has been checked!
Hyun-joon, you're up next.
-Well, I think-- -You should definitely clear this.
Okay. But if I clear it, can't they just fill it up again?
But even if you move this, you only get one blue point.
That's not a good move for you.
-Don't do it. Stay focused on missions. -I don't wanna end the mission fast.
-Let's get them outta the way. -Think about it.
We have to get them together again. Right?
-Then I can take them all out at once. -Do your thing.
What? Just tell him not to do it, okay?
Hyun-joon, which color would you like to increase your points on?
I'll do five points in green.
All right, then. Hyun-joon gets five points on green.
-Great. -Ji-yeong, you're up.
I think we should just leave the angel space.
I mean, they can't get them, so shouldn't we just leave
and get the points we need fast?
Let's not clear the angel.
Okay, let's do that, then.
Let's just leave both ends.
That way, we can control it and as long as we don't screw up,
we can basically block it off from them.
So then we'll be able to throw their point balances way off.
Ji-yeong, you're okay to get green or you can get one point on blue.
-It doesn't really matter what you do. -It's all good.
Okay, last counter's been placed.
Ji-yeong gets three points on green.
That concludes Round 6.
Round 7 begins now.
Hyun-gyu goes first.
Hyun-gyu has placed his counters. He gets four points on green.
7high's up next.
Okay, that's 7high's turn. He gets one point on green.
Now, it's So-hui's turn.
Let's figure out how to get So-hui some points.
I don't know if I can. I'm thinking I might play this one to put Kyuhyun here.
-Put him here? -Yeah. Right.
Because look, it's pretty empty around there. There's nothing.
-Eun-yu, you might have to do that. -Oh, really?
-You go here and land there. -So ending on red?
Yeah, you need to do that so we can get you those points.
Eun-yu can move Kyuhyun here.
How many is that? One, two, three, seven?
It's 15 points no matter what. If you want to get 15…
-Right. I'll get them. -…you need every color.
-You can't do it by balancing. Get these. -But if I get these…
Well, I'll just play this one, then.
All right. So-hui's finished her turn and gets seven points on red.
Eun-yu, you're up next.
Whoa, that's a lot of points. One.
And Eun-yu gets three points on red.
Kyuhyun, you're up next. Go ahead.
-Good job. Nice moves. -Good.
Kyuhyun gets eight points on green.
Hyun-joon, your turn is next.
Let's see.
-You need to break this one. -If he does, Hyun-joon will go to red.
If you don't, then take this one.
Oh, should I take another six points, then? In green?
We gotta think about the prize mission.
Isn't it better to get that six points now?
-We have to work fast. -So the priority's the prize money?
-Is that cool? -It's on her.
-Either way, I… -I'll do this.
All right. Then Eun-yu gets six points on green.
Oh, thank you.
You've completed the mission for the second time.
The stronger I get,
-the bigger the prize. -Ji-yeong, you're next.
Okay, I'll try it.
That concludes Ji-yeong's turn. She gets five points on red.
And that does it for Round 7.
Round 8 will begin now with Hyun-gyu's turn.
-It's cleared now, I guess. -Mmm.
He's finally realizing he's in big trouble here.
And Hyun-gyu gets one point on blue.
7high, it's your turn. Go ahead.
Give me one minute. Hang on a sec.
-What's up with the devil space? -He's not gonna go in on his own.
-It's too high. -Yeah, you're right.
Me and Hyun-joon are safe.
You can't move that one 'cause it'll just add to this.
In that case, Ji-yeong's dead.
Think about this.
You gotta clear that.
No, no. No way. Why would I?
I mean, we have to get our points up on that no matter what.
-What's your plan? -Hmm.
Well, I don't know if I should go here or here, or who I should give points to.
We need to get as many points as possible.
-Take your time. -So you should go there.
I mean, we can't wait around.
How many are there? Six right now. Is he going here?
-Oh, no question. -Got it.
-Someone's gotta take 'em. -Exactly.
If you do this one, we get four here.
Right, then if I put So-hui here, she can hit me with points.
-And then… That's right. -There'll be three here.
Then we can do one, two, three and get one more.
-Then we can clear that one. -Good, good.
-But who can do it? -Huh?
Hyun-joon can do it.
-What? -Hyun-joon can clear it
'cause he won't go to the devil. So he'll clear it. Yeah. Let's go.
-Divide them. I'm frustrated. -I'm going here. I'm doing it.
Were all four of your counters here?
I'll put Kyuhyun here.
Just hang in there. We'll get you something.
-Why are you taking the hit? -Trust the plan.
-I know. I'm trying my best. -You gonna take that?
-Hmm? -You okay with that?
It's gotta be someone else's counter.
That one's really loaded up.
Kyuhyun gets eight points on green.
Wow.
You've completed the mission for the third time.
-Think it'll even out? -Just two more.
If we release this one, it'll build up again.
-Don't know if that's gonna work. -Little risky.
I need to clear this. So should I just… just clear it? Damn.
I think there are too many on there.
-Don't worry. We're gonna clear it after. -Hmm.
I've got a bad feeling about this.
It feels super weird to do this.
-Let's get it over with. -Okay. That means 7high gets
nine points on green.
You've completed the mission for the fourth time.
-Eun-yu, it's your turn. -I'll help you out.
Since So-hui has so many already, I'm gonna put Ji-yeong in.
All right. That move gives Ji-yeong ten points on red.
You've completed your goal for the fifth and final time,
which means the prize mission was successful.
-Wow, that's amazing. -Yes!
100 million won has been added to the prize fund.
-The pot now stands at 380 million won. -380?
The winner's gonna be loaded, guys.
Congratulations.
They just committed suicide to get that prize money.
How many do you have?
Pieces? Thirteen.
-Why? -Let's end this.
I'm gonna take down Ji-yeong and 7high.
One group managed to complete the prize mission,
but the scores in that alliance are getting dangerously close
to the 30-point limit that will end it all.
This is when the real game of Balance Mancala starts.
-Kyuhyun, you're up. -Kyuhyun, let's clear this.
I'm worried Hyun-joon's going to bail.
-So let's clear it first. -I'm clearing it.
We're finally smashing it. Wow. Damn.
That's gonna feel good.
-There are way too many in here. -But where are you going to move them?
-Pressure's on. -It's all in your hands now, buddy.
-There are way too many in here. -This is your moment to shine.
Let me figure out where mine are going.
1, 2, 3, 4, 5, 6, 7, 8, 9, 10. Man, that's far.
That would put me in green. I don't want to go to green.
-Let's see. Who wants to go to green? -Me.
-So-hui. -You can give the green to So-hui.
I'm doing it. We're all good? No problems?
Nope.
All right, So-hui gets 1 point on green.
And next up is Hyun-joon. Go ahead.
Well, I was planning to get red on this turn.
So I think it would be better to move this one.
-Yeah, move it. That's good. -Yeah, that's gonna be better.
All right, that move gets Hyun-joon 2 points on red.
Ji-yeong, you're up.
Then I'll go with this one.
-She's on it. -Ji-yeong turn is finished.
She gets 2 points on green.
That concludes Round 8.
We will now begin Round 9.
So here's the deal, I'm going to blow things up.
You have 14? No.
-How many Pieces do you have? 13? -Mm-hmm.
-So that would leave you with 7? -Yep.
Okay, so that would put you in first,
So-hui in 2nd, and everyone else under 5.
If we pawn off the rest of the points and end the game,
-then, basically, we win. -I know.
-We can't let one of them take first. -Okay, I got it.
So you need to add up their points
and make sure one of them isn't going to finish first.
First has to be either me or you.
Oh, yeah, he'll do it.
It's a total win-win.
Okay, Hyun-gyu, please move your counter.
What if they're planning something?
That gives Kyuhyun 2 points on green.
And 7high's turn is next.
Wait a second, aren't there too many on that one already?
-I wouldn't mind clearing it. -Three, 4, 6, and 9.
Don't feel great about that. Green is too dangerous for us.
So it's 1, 2, 3, 4, 5, 6, 7, 8, 9?
-It'll get to here. -Yep, that will work. Okay.
All right, looks like 7high gets three points on red.
And So-hui gets four points on green on that move.
All right, Eun-yu's turn is next. And she gets four points on red.
Kyuhyun, you're up.
Listen, we need to tread lightly here, okay?
Because I have a feeling they're going to try to give you or 7high 10 points
-and end the game. -Right. Yeah.
-They might try to get rid of you. -Yeah.
Think about that when you try to move Hyun-gyu's counter.
Yeah, that crossed my mind. For sure.
All right, that gets Kyuhyun 3 points on blue.
Hyun-joon, you're next. Go ahead.
Let's see.
All right, give 7high some green points.
Listen to me. Please.
I was gonna do this.
Why?
Wha… What's your angle here?
-Well, I want to get some blue points. -Why?
His only choice is to go for some blue, right?
He just needs to keep his points down.
-You want to get to 15? -For now.
If those guys make their move and start getting points, we're going to lose out.
-Look, I'll give you all the Pieces. -I'm not doing this for the Pieces.
Of course you are, you want to save your Pieces.
You don't have to give me any.
You have enough.
As soon as we've got the knife to their neck,
then you can start earning your points.
Yeah. I know what you're trying to say.
I didn't get why he was hesitating.
You know how to do math?
-Mmm. -Run the numbers again.
No, no, I get it. I know what you're saying.
Are you sure you didn't screw up the math, Hyun-joon?
-Mmm. -What else do you want?
Or is this because you feel sorry for them?
Hyun-gyu needs to die.
3 HOURS EARLIER
-Let's get rid of someone later. -No problem.
-Let's get rid of someone together. -That's good.
I went to talk to Hyun-joon and he wants to get rid of those guys. It was his idea.
Then what we can do for you is take 5 Pieces from whichever player you decide.
Then I choose him.
Yeah, there's a problem, though. So-hui wants to kill him.
Not Hyun-gyu?
-I'm really sorry about that… -We can decide.
…but we hold the cards.
So, the only question is, are we going to do what she wants?
Or do we want to put off deciding until the end…
-Let's pivot. -Okay.
-…regardless of what So-hui says? -So we're redirecting the ship then?
So, we can't be in an open alliance with Hyun-joon. That's the key point.
Well, I'm not sure about Kyuhyun. Why has he gone in there?
Don't you think he's trying to screw me over?
We're trying to do whatever it takes to get rid of Hyun-gyu today.
Were you guys just talking about that?
Yeah, they're all on board.
-7high too? -Yep.
Can I join you guys?
-Sure. -Yeah. Of course.
Four, six.
We're figuring out how much to table talk.
Huh?
Hyun-gyu is the most dangerous person to face in the final.
He's a really smart player. Plus, he has this mysterious hint.
-Why? -Let's end this.
Hyun-gyu just keeps pushing me.
What's he pushing you to do?
To end it. Like he's Thanos.
7high, watch out because Hyun-gyu wants to give you points to end the game.
I'm trying to drag things out. Just trust me.
We can eliminate him right here, right now.
We don't need to give him a chance to save himself for the prison match.
So I said to Eun-yu, Ji-yeong and 7high
that we should go after him guns blazing.
You're driving me nuts.
Do what you want.
There, I'm all finished.
All right, Hyun-joon is done, and he gets 2 points on blue.
Eun-yu, my alliance is over.
I'm going to lay my cards out.
