Do what you want.
There. All finished.
Hyun-joon is done, and he gets two points on blue.
My alliance is over.
I'm going to show my true colors.
He just joined them. Why would he do that?
-I know. He has nothing to gain. -Exactly.
Is it for Pieces?
Hyun-joon is practically keeping us guarded here.
If it wasn't for Hyun-joon, the game would be over right now.
Hyun-gyu would have taken us all down.
Hyun-joon is the one keeping us alive.
We have to protect Hyun-joon. We just have to.
-I'm okay with that. 100% on board. -Right.
Eun-yu went up to Hyun-joon and said,
"Our ultimate strategy is to eliminate Hyun-gyu."
As a result, Hyun-joon could very easily lose half of his Pieces.
You probably already know this,
but I cannot guarantee that you won't lose half of your Pieces in this game.
-I know, I know. -Yeah.
It might seem to everyone that the majority's bullying the minority,
but if I'm being honest, I don't feel guilty about it at all.
-Hyun-joon's protecting us right now. -What?
I said Hyun-joon's protecting us now.
-Really? -Yes.
He could have ended the game just now.
Ah. Is that what's happening?
I'm not happy about this at all. This sucks.
-I feel lonely. -Yeah, I bet you do.
I'm just fighting to win. I'm just trying to survive.
But I kinda feel, "Am I the bad guy? Should I just give up?"
Next up is Kang Ji-yeong.
-There's nothing else I can do. Here I go. -Go here and get this.
Kang Ji-yeong gets four points on blue.
That concludes Round 9.
We will now begin Round 10.
Jeong Hyun-gyu, please move your counter.
-I'm really not feeling it today. -Me neither.
I'd rather the whole thing just end here.
But Hyun-joon…
I don't have a move.
Son Eun-yu gets one point on green.
Next it's 7high's turn.
What did he do?
-Come here. -It's a lonely, lonely world.
Look at him. He's really depressed. He's gutted.
It's so hard playing alone.
Did Hyun-joon say that he won't play with you anymore?
-He's gonna stick with them. -Is he gonna keep playing with them?
-No way, really? -Yeah.
Well, didn't you say you'd give him Pieces?
Yeah, all of them.
Then why's he being like that?
He's betraying me to try and cook something up.
Ah, they're working together?
You made a really tough decision.
Hyun-gyu sees everything.
He showed the points and said I'd had the most Pieces,
but I'm not really interested, to be honest.
If I team up with Hyun-gyu to shut down the game and win,
it's ultimately more dangerous for me because then I'd have to face him.
-He's the only one with an advantage. -Exactly. That's why I didn't do it.
Hyun-gyu stood next to me, trying to rile me up
by asking if I was struggling with the math,
and that just made me more annoyed.
Like, "You think I'm this dumb?"
Now I only have two choices: keep getting points or blow everything up.
Which I don't think would be easy.
-This must be really hard for you. -Mmm.
On your own.
Can't you two just betray them and join me?
-Now? -I think I could.
We take all of Hyun-joon's Pieces
and I'll take you two to the living quarters.
I want it to be just the three of us today.
Okay, do this.
Release this one, then this will become five.
Then whoever is here can get this next, and that makes six.
It's good for us to get blue points. And if we do this--
-Are you suggesting we make a blue pot? -Yeah, that's right.
-That's not a bad idea. -From here, it's 1, 2, 3, 4, 5 spaces.
-Right. -You'll be there in red…
-I don't mind. -Go to red.
In any case, we can't match everything at once,
so we can build things up and get blue in one go.
If you put me in here, I'll get this and make it six.
But So-hui also needs blue.
If you give them to So-hui, Hyun-gyu will try and end things early.
Right now Hyun-gyu is in first place,
so I think it's better for us to get them first.
Put So-hui in here.
That'll make it difficult for Hyun-gyu to calculate.
7high gets one point on red.
Next up is Yoon So-hui.
So-hui.
-It's-- -She's on my team.
Hyun-joon went that way. Hyun-joon's with you.
On your team?
Okay, what do you mean? So-hui, what's going on?
I'm just thinking.
What are you doing right now?
Hyun-joon switched.
But we agreed to play together.
What the heck is this?
You talked to her?
To So-hui?
Put 7high in here and blow it up.
-What? -Give him four points.
You're blowing us off, So-hui?
-That was my plan all along. -I know that.
I planned it with Hyun-joon, but he betrayed me and joined you.
I know that, but So-hui agreed to play with us today and now…
She's come back to me.
If Hyun-joon can betray me after our agreement,
then So-hui can play with you and then join me, right?
So-hui, you're really doing this?
I'm going to think about it.
To be honest, when I agreed not to play with Hyun-gyu,
I didn't feel too bad about it
because Hyun-gyu still had Hyun-joon to play with.
But now Hyun-joon's saying he won't play with Hyun-gyu anymore.
He's doing something different.
And now Hyun-gyu is complaining about being all alone,
and I know how he can get.
I could just see he was feeling really lonely,
and I couldn't get past it.
To be honest, I think this all really stinks.
It's so unfair, seriously.
That's what's going through my mind.
But then, I keep reminding myself that games aren't meant to be fair.
My mind keeps racing.
But I think it's wrong doing this to Hyun-gyu.
I can't bring myself to do it.
It felt okay to try it when he had Hyun-joon on his team,
but even then it was really hard to face him.
If we completely turn our backs on him…
I just can't do that to Hyun-gyu.
Exactly. If nothing happened, it would've been okay.
Hyun-joon did all that to try and save himself.
He's trying to survive.
So, whatever happens going forward,
one thing I won't do…
-…is leave him to play alone. -Okay. Let's go.
Wow. Oh, my gosh.
I was so determined not to start crying.
It's hard because we've spent so long playing as a team.
But…
…there's nothing wrong with that, right?
Well, I was just trying to look at this through the logic of gameplay.
All I was saying is, whichever way you look at it,
if you want to win, you should try to eliminate Hyun-gyu.
And this is our only chance.
But I really don't like how things have soured between people.
At the beginning, they said they would applaud betrayal and dirty tricks,
but no one's clapping now.
-They're just… -I see that you're really mad.
I mean, shouldn't people clap as long as you don't use theft or violence?
7high, let's talk.
Anyhow, when we first heard what you were proposing,
we agreed completely, and so we've been playing together.
But with Hyun-joon switching sides,
it's not about morality or elitism or anything like that.
We just don't feel we can play like this.
Okay, but your timing really sucks.
What's your opinion?
At first, we heard your proposal and were completely in agreement with it.
And as players, we thought it was ridiculous to stand by and say,
"Sure, we'll go to prison instead of you. Enjoy your victory."
So So-hui and I decided to go for it.
But with Hyun-joon switching sides, that makes it six against one.
There are six of us going, "Now it's your turn to be betrayed. Too bad."
Then how about we don't eliminate him?
We just finish the game like this without eliminating Hyun-gyu.
We'll just let him lose half his Pieces.
Then who's going to finish last?
We make Hyun-joon last.
-So what are you saying? -Well…
We'll let Hyun-gyu and Hyun-joon lose half their Pieces each
and let Hyun-joon lose another five on top of that?
-Exactly. -Why would he agree to that?
He would've been fine if he'd stuck with Hyun-gyu.
Hyun-joon only switched because he's under attack.
Well, he hasn't really switched.
I was very open and I told him that there's nothing I can do to protect him.
-I understand Hyun-joon's point of view. -Yes, he's safe.
He's only doing this to try and save himself.
But doing it like this, leaving Hyun-gyu by himself.
If I were him, even if I won, I think I'd be really angry at myself.
I just feel like this is not the way I'd want to do things.
But it's been the majority against one the whole time.
Like, what about when you got rid of Se-dol?
Didn't you feel sorry for Justin when he had to play by himself?
Why are you acting so righteous all of a sudden?
-Pretending to be peaceful-- -But they wanted to play by themselves.
Does Hyun-gyu want to play by himself?
We made him play by himself.
So-hui.
But if this happens,
to be honest, the person that benefits the most is Hyun-gyu.
We're all in grave danger, and he's the only one who's safe.
He doesn't need to do anything right now.
So if you do this, I'm saying that it would be unfair to us.
We put our lives on the line to do this.
If you make us have scores like this and then betray us,
isn't that just cruel?
And why are you bringing feelings into this?
-We're all just here to play a game-- -Oh, hang on.
Why is it wrong to bring feelings into it?
But now?
It doesn't make sense to say, "It's just a game. You can't bring feelings into it."
We're not saying that. Nobody is saying that.
Then why didn't you bring up feelings right at the beginning?
-Why are you only bringing them up now? -It's different now.
Because the situation has changed.
I understand where you're both coming from,
but what I want to know is how you're planning to play the game from now on.
We haven't discussed it. But Hyun-gyu asked us for help.
Okay, but if you do it suddenly in the middle of a turn,
after we've been planning various moves, what happens to those moves?
To be honest, my only goal for that round
was to execute my plan to get blue points on my next turn.
I was waiting for the moment to make a deal.
They can play by themselves
and in return, we should maintain our original teams
until the end of this round.
They're not wrong. 7high is making a lot of sense.
But one of the variables has changed and that's Hyun-joon.
I'm not saying he did something wrong.
-It was the right choice. -I agree.
I know that.
It's just that my emotions took over.
So your emotions are preventing you?
I don't know.
I think even if I end up dying, I'd rather trust Hyun-gyu.
Let's do that.
To be honest, if one of us balances up our scores,
we can grab first place.
I really don't want to have to do this,
but since Kyuhyun and So-hui are leaving of their own volition,
we have no choice but to pile on Kyuhyun and try to make one of us finish first.
And what's lucky is that right now you're in a better situation than he is.
You just need to pick up some blue points.
-Because of red? -Yes.
Have you come to a decision?
What are you gonna do?
I know it's bad, but that's what we're doing.
You've both decided to play with Hyun-gyu, right?
Then let's make a proposition.
Right now it's turn three of seven. It's So-hui's turn.
For this turn, we've already figured out what moves we were gonna make.
Including setting So-hui up for this move.
So let's finish this round in our original match-ups
and do the moves that make the most sense for our alliances.
So don't attack anyone, and just look out for yourselves, okay?
We still have to mark Hyun-gyu for the rest of this round.
-We can agree with that. -Let's see how these moves play out.
Yeah, that's all.
Let's keep doing our best.
Jeong Hyun-gyu!
-Yeah? -We're with you.
Okay.
But they want to leave things in place for the rest of this round…
-Okay. -…since we had plans in motion
for various people in this round.
-Okay. -That's it.
I'm sorry, everyone.
-Really sorry. -Sorry, guys.
Okay.
Back to the game. So-hui's turn, right?
Okay, can I make a suggestion?
Originally on this turn,
we were going to have So-hui take these and move them to the devil square
so that Ji-yeong would end up getting a point.
-Yes, we can do that. -However…
But I'm saying we should do moves that benefit ourselves.
In this round, let's not, for example,
give Ji-yeong one red point and Eun-yu a green point.
Let's not do that.
Just get what you can.
But when we suggest doing that, we're not trying to end the game.
This is all part of the big picture that we had our alliance for.
We're just saying let that play out.
Let's play like that until the end of this round.
Taking points for the next turn.
But weren't we saying not to attack each other
and just get whatever points we can?
Not on this turn. We meant for the rest of this round.
We play the moves we would have made under the original alliances…
Right. Okay. Got it.
…because that's what we had in mind when we planned them.
To be honest, even if we just get through this round with our alliances,
everything's already a complete mess
because 12 counters have already been placed how you want.
Then what do you want us to do?
Right, So-hui splits up these three and puts Ji-yeong here.
Okay. Then what about you?
Then I go here and get some blue points.
Well, those guys already compromised a lot.
They tried to accept our point of view,
so I suggested doing this for them, and everyone agreed.
So what do we do?
You just have to put me on the devil square.
Kang Ji-yeong gets one point on red.
Next up is Son Eun-yu.
But these are all…
-That's good for you. -It's enemy territory now.
That's how it turned out. Get those points.
-Son Eun-yu gets six points on blue. -Into the wolf's lair.
I'm there too.
Oh, you are.
It's Kyuhyun's turn.
What happens now?
Well, you should have split this one originally.
-If 7high ends up here… -He's screwed.
Originally I wouldn't have gone there if it wasn't an alliance.
I won't put you there then. Okay.
Let's see.
I want to get that one. The blue.
-Do that then. That's good. -What will you do?
I want to get the blue one.
Anyhow, we can't just help you guys and then suffer.
But we've agreed to play this round as an alliance--
I know, but we need some points.
-Then how about you do this. -Okay.
So we keep helping you?
No, set it up like this.
Come all the way around and get the points.
What do you want to do then?
I want to get that.
Then you should.
You're not giving us anything?
In any case, I'm not giving 7high any points.
-Of course not. Not in this round. -Yeah, right.
Or should I just do something safe?
-How? -Is it better to play it safe?
Isn't it better to empty this green?
You can get blue points with that move.
Right, you can get two blue points.
That might be a good compromise.
Right, I'll do this because 7high and Hyun-joon are in danger,
-and so am I. -Yes, let's do it.
So it's better to clear that green one?
-Yes, that's okay, right? -Okay, go for it.
Better to get points.
Blue like this? Two blue ones?
Kyuhyun has got two points on blue.
Next up is Choi Hyun-joon.
-I need red, you need blue. -Mmm.
Hyun-gyu, if you can get us some points, please do.
If you can give them some points, that's okay too.
Okay, I will.
-Let's check the odds. -Sure.
Now this is getting fun.
How can they go back to him?
We should've just joined with him right from the start.
That would've been better.
Why'd Hyun-joon switched sides?
That's why I asked, "Is he bad at math?"
Don't say it like that.
You hurt his feelings when you said that.
-He said that's why he switched. -He said that just now.
He's an F on his MBTI. He's easily hurt.
I should apologize later.
This is so difficult.
Still. One, two, three, four, five.
I think Eun-yu's trying to finish first.
Yeah, she really wants to go to the living quarters.
Mm-hmm.
This is dangerous for us.
There are too many counters in there, so let's split it up.
What, are we splitting this one?
As soon as we put someone in here to make seven,
anyone can go straight to devil square,
so we have to release it first. Well, Ji-yeong does.
So we send them first?
The difference between Hyun-gyu's scores is so low we have to send them.
Ji-yeong has to release it.
No, wait a sec. I'm sorry. We can't target Hyun-gyu right now.
Think about it. Will it affect Hyun-gyu given his score difference right now?
He doesn't really have any points. His total score is really low.
Right now you shouldn't be focusing solely on Hyun-gyu.
We're in a fight with all three of them.
Choi Hyun-joon gets one point on red.
Next up is Kang Ji-yeong.
Ji-yeong won't be my friend now.
-When we get out? -Mmm.
-Well, it's just a game. -It's just a game.
She'll call me "Mr. Cho Kyuhyun."
-No, she won't. -She'll call me by my full name.
She's not like that.
-Hey, hey, hey. -What?
-Let's end it with Kyuhyun. -What?
If we do that, Hyun-joon will be in first.
-Is he first now? -Yes.
Oh, he is. Then who's in last place? Who's in seventh?
Kyuhyun has how many?
-Eight, right? -Is it eight?
Then he'll be out. Eliminated.
-It's your turn next, isn't it? Um… -It's my turn.
I think I'll be all right because there aren't many red tiers.
But there are quite a lot of blue tiers.
Kyuhyun gets two points on green.
Me? What?
-Now what? -That concludes Round 10.
Did you just attack me right at the end?
Round 11 will begin now. Jeong Hyun-gyu will go first.
-Did they attack me on the last turn? -I thought we agreed not to.
Okay.
Ah.
I think they're trying to get rid of me.
Yeah, they're all lumped in with me. They've set it all up.
It's a good setup.
Yeah, they've given it a lot of thought.
There's a possibility that I could get four green points right now.
That would be the worst.
Who's most desperate to survive?
-Eun-yu. -Mmm.
Mmm, okay.
Let's strike Eun-yu down a bit and get you some points.
And then when it's your turn, we can send more their way.
Jeong Hyun-gyu gets one point on green.
Next up is 7high.
-Gonna lose five points if they do this. -You are?
-I'll have three left. -They won't do it.
-I'll have two. -They can't afford to.
-I think they will. -No, they won't.
-The order of play really sucks. -Mm-hmm.
How did it end up like this?
-Tell me about it. -Two alliances taking turns.
Eun-yu will never do that.
This is right. This is right.
But the reason that doesn't work is
Kyuhyun will put me in with So-hui on his next turn.
Then, unless I put Kyuhyun in there on my next turn,
he'll do it to me.
-We can't put Kyuhyun in here. -You're right.
Hmm?
Nor can he go in here because it's So-hui's turn next.
Hey, come on, if I put myself in here, I'll go straight to green.
This is driving me crazy.
That's why this one's here.
There's nothing else you can play?
I'm a bit nervous about them giving us points without picking up any themselves.
But if they do that, the game's over.
It won't be easy for them to do that.
The devil square?
Yeah. After all, Eun-yu wants to finish first.
Like this.
Kyuhyun gets five points on green.
Next up is Yoon So-hui.
-Minus 13. -How about I give you some red points?
And your turn is coming up.
If Kyuhyun is at risk of dying,
they won't be able to do anything because they'll be trying to save him,
so they'll waste their turns.
So we're pressuring them.
-We can't just let it end like this. -Exactly.
Don't I need to do something to increase your score?
Do it.
-That's not wrong, right? -No.
Kyuhyun gets one point on red.
Next up is Son Eun-yu.
Son Eun-yu gets one point on blue.
One blue point.
It's Kyuhyun's turn.
-I can get that. Or here I could-- -And put it where?
-Well, on the assumption I move this one. -Okay.
Ji-yeong has a counter here too, so I'm wondering where I should put that.
Put her in the angel square.
-Ji-yeong? -Yeah.
-Put her there first. -After that, we've got Hyun-joon.
We have to think about him.
What should we do if we want to make sure he's powerless?
Isn't this the only place where he can't really do anything?
Join me in the living quarters.
As long as he plays his counters like that, we can get rid of him.
-Okay, I think it's our best option. -Yeah.
Okay.
Okay. Whatever. Let's do this.
It's done.
Kyuhyun gets five points on red.
-See? -Next it's Choi Hyun-joon's turn.
Yes.
You take it and then you'll put this one here.
Well, you can put anything in. It doesn't really matter. Then that makes six.
Yes, there'll be six in here.
1, 2, 3, 4, 5, 6. Then Kyuhyun's finished.
-But Hyun-gyu goes next. -No, it's Ji-yeong.
Oh, right.
-Then it's over, right? -Yes.
Choi Hyun-joon gets six points on red.
Next is Kang Ji-yeong.
So Hyun-joon isn't in first?
No, he's not. Eun-yu is.
Eun-yu is in first.
Isn't Eun-yu in first?
-Right. -Yes.
Wait, they're ending it?
In any case, if we can't get 15 points, we all lose half our Pieces.
-Exactly. -But right now…
To be honest, I stand to lose the most.
Despite that, I chose to do it because it was the right time.
I had to make sure Eun-yu came first to be able to send Hyun-gyu to prison.
The whole game has become very simple.
Kyuhyun gets five points on green.
Kyuhyun has accumulated more than 30 points in green.
This concludes the game of Balance Mancala.
Well played.
-We had no choice. -It was my choice. I know.
I made my choice.
It's not like anyone was holding a gun to my head and telling me to do it.
It was all the result of my own decision.
Our original objective was to get rid of Hyun-gyu and secure first place.
But out of the blue, Kyuhyun was on our team this morning,
left us, and I finished first, so I'm seeing it as a partial victory.
They said let's not make things difficult for other players,
let's just get points for ourselves,
but right at the end of the round, they went after Kyuhyun, so…
Well…
This happened because of the choices I made.
I was too greedy.
That's what happens when you play together, right?
Thanks.
I will now announce the results.
A penalty will be given to any player who failed to reach 15 points.
All players, please forfeit half of your Pieces.
Oh, man.
The player with the lowest score was Kyuhyun.
Kyuhyun, you currently have four Pieces.
Please give all your remaining Pieces to Son Eun-yu.
Hey, so I did end up helping you in the end.
Thank you.
Yeah, you did. We have a real connection.
-I'm helping you. -Thank you.
Kyuhyun, you have now lost all your Pieces.
Consequently, you have become
the eighth person eliminated from The Devil's Plan.
Well, I was born in '88.
Kyuhyun, please take your leave immediately.
Since you dealt the final blow, that makes us even.
-Okay. -Well, I said this might happen.
We kept saying, "Let's play together. Let's play together."
And as soon as we did, everything got totally screwed up.
Exactly.
Kyuhyun, we--
-You and I are like oil and water. -I guess so. We don't work.
So long, Kyuhyun.
At least it's not prison.
-Hey, I'm not cut out for prison. -Right.
I'm in SUPER JUNIOR.
I'm sorry, bro.
Why, man?
I think my emotions got me eliminated in the end.
I guess my main problem was acting really self-righteous.
I've done a lot of things where I'm a judge or a host.
But when I was actually a contestant, I really got ahead of myself.
It really was so fun being a part of The Devil's Plan.
I got to run around, I got to use my head, and have a great time.
I think that I'm most relieved and happy that I'm leaving this program
feeling good about the way I played the game.
I'm off!
-Have a nice day! -Bye-bye!
All right, bye!
GG.
My, God.
After being on starvation rations for several days,
I'm about to enjoy a tasty dinner in the living quarters.
So, why am I feeling so down?
Enjoy the living quarters, okay?
Ji-yeong, make sure you make it back.
You two should quickly grab something nice to eat while you have the chance.
-Don't you see me? -After five days of filming,
you finally get to the living quarters.
So, we got rid of one of them
and we dragged another one down into hell.
I think it's a 70% or 80% victory.
I will now reveal how many Pieces each player has.
As the three players with the least amount of Pieces,
Kang Ji-yeong, 7high, and Jeong Hyun-gyu,
will be sent to the prison block.
I…
I'd like to use my reward from the hidden stage.
What now?
I knew it.
-Jeong Hyun-gyu… -Wasn't that related to the final?
Your reward from the hidden stage of ten Pieces,
ten Pieces,
ten Pieces will now be given to you.
What's going on?
THE DEVIL'S PLAN DEATH ROOM
-Jeong Hyun-gyu, here is your reward. -Thank you.
Hey, what's going on?
There has been a change in the number of Pieces held.
This is the mother of all twists.
The players going to the prison block are now
Kang Ji-yeong, 7high, and Son Eun-yu.
Ah, my head is spinning.
3 DAYS EARLIER
You have succeeded.
As a reward, you will be given ten Pieces.
Whenever you want these Pieces, simply state,
"I'd like to receive my reward,"
and they will be given to you immediately.
You may ask for them even if you have zero Pieces.
However, you may not activate the reward in the death room.
This is only really useful if someone's holding a knife to my throat,
or at a point when I can use these ten Pieces to achieve something
that otherwise can't be done.
Apart from that, there's no reason to use it.
But they haven't given me anything.
What? How does that work?
They just mentioned something about being helpful in the final round.
-So they didn't give you any Pieces? -Nothing.
I'm gonna pretend that I don't have those ten
so I still have to try and accumulate as many Pieces as possible,
like I don't have these ten to rely on.
I don't want it.
I know how you feel. I get where you're coming from.
Only a fool would risk the prison match.
I have to avoid that at all costs.
After all the effort we put in to set this up.
It's now been determined
which players are going to the living quarters
and which are going to the prison block.
All players, please go to your assigned accommodation.
-I knew he was hiding something. -Hyun-joon, you had it rough.
You guys killed Kyuhyun for this. Don't forget that.
I will be back tomorrow, so don't you dare go anywhere.
But think,
how you've got to kill them.
I don't trust anyone anymore.
I don't care if I get beaten up tomorrow. It's fine.
Hyun-joon, stay strong.
-Bye. -Keep up the good fight.
Well played.
Nice job.
Good work.
What are you doing standing here?
-Eun-yu, what the hell? -It's fine.
-We were played. -Let's get it together.
I assumed he was lying about it, but I never expected that.
I'm feeling so out of it, really.
Then how many did he have?
-Ten. -They gave him ten.
He had ten? Ten that he could've used anytime he wanted?
Anytime because he could've lost his Pieces.
At first, I thought Hyun-gyu was doing everything he could
to avoid being eliminated,
but clearly he knew that wouldn't happen.
-Right. -So he did that to protect his Pieces…
-Exactly. -…going to So-hui.
So am I just supposed to accept that right now?
And what's more, Kyuhyun will have left thinking he died a hero's death.
Don't you think Kyuhyun knew though?
-I don't think he knew. Could he? -How could he?
There's no way he would've helped if he knew. To protect 17 Pieces?
He didn't think we'd attack.
Here's what I'm saying. "Fine, we couldn't eliminate you that time.
Okay, let's duke it out again."
-He's scared to go up against us. -He said he didn't want to.
-And you can't force someone to do it. -He's scared.
Honestly, I'm… I'm so mad right now.
Hyun-joon, I'm sorry for saying you can't do math.
No, it's fine. You must have been taken aback.
I'm glad your reward was Pieces.
I wanted to get rid of you because I thought you had something better.
-Hyun-joon, why did you end the game? -Hmm?
Did you do it because you thought you might lose all your Pieces?
Because I didn't know what he had.
I was like, "That guy has a secret reward for the final.
How can we just let it slide when we don't know what it is?"
That's why we did that.
So it was all because you wanted to see me kicked out?
If you had just done nothing,
you could've gone into tomorrow's battle in second place.
-But now you're in third. -Why am I in third?
-I'm giving Pieces to So-hui. -Ah, I don't care.
Don't give me any. Just keep them for yourself. Honestly.
-Then just take two. -No, honestly, you keep them.
-Just take one. -No.
-You never know what will happen tomorrow. -That's why you should keep them.
I really want you to go all the way. So keep them.
I would feel awful if you gave them to me
and something happened to either or both of us,
so keep them.
To be honest, I'm really curious about the bond between you three.
How did you become so tight that you always take each other's side?
Just because we've had a lot of fun playing together.
Don't you feel pretty close with the guys in prison?
Well, yeah, I do.
But you guys all claim to be really rational in normal life.
I was in prison with them, so they're both important--
Yeah, don't think about it.
-Don't worry. -Is it just a move?
-For sure. -Okay.
People change. It's not like we have to be rational here.
Well, there's a bond between you. I was just wondering what it could be.
The person I really wanted to keep in check is now in first place,
and I'm at a disadvantage in many ways.
Also, he's such a strong player, and since we failed to send him to prison,
I think I'll be fretting all night.
-Hey. -Why am I not surprised?
Eun-yu, give me a Piece. I'm slowly facing up to reality.
Quickly give me one since you didn't get to leave.
-Just give me one. -I got four more Pieces.
Am I wrong?
No, it's better to divide them up before you play.
-Because we don't know who'll be gone. -We don't know who.
Just give me one. And to Ji-yeong as well.
We can have three each.
Three, three, two, is that okay?
-Do you have two? -I have two.
It's fine. I'll take responsibility for it. Forget it.
So wasn't that a pretty good result today?
In any case, at the end we split them up
and to be honest, our moves were much worse off.
But we turned it around.
We did. And we got the win.
Right. I think that was an achievement in and of itself, honestly.
Well, I'm not sure whose benefit it was for.
If you look at it from Hyun-gyu's point of view,
thanks to us, he's gotten rid of a rival in Kyuhyun, who had nine Pieces.
It did turn out best of all for Hyun-gyu
because he's the only one that got more Pieces.
And even Hyun-joon lost half of his Pieces.
Everyone lost out, so I feel like I cleaned everything up
but I'm just trying to think if there's anything I missed.
It's disappointing.
I mean, it really sucks that the hidden rule ruined our plan
to shake everything up a bit.
So tonight…
Hey, I'm curious about something.
What's the situation between Hyun-joon and Hyun-gyu?
Why are you asking me that?
-I have no idea. -Well, the thing is
the way I saw them just now, it hasn't been like that from the beginning.
How did you see them?
Like they had a "I'll scratch your back if you scratch mine" kind of thing.
Oh, now everything's out in the open and he's on our side.
To tell you the truth,
ever since he got out of here, Hyun-joon's talking with me.
Oh, he has?
And saying that if we ever got the chance, we'd try and get rid of Hyun-gyu.
He agreed to that?
-Ever since we played that monster game. -Yeah.
That means you can use items on people
when you attack.
-Hyun-gyu-- -Oh, he came to you?
He brought it up back then.
He was intending to kill Hyun-gyu. I remember that.
Then you attack.
-On Hyun-gyu? -Yeah, just fire off an attack on him.
In any case, Hyun-joon has sort of been on our side all along.
Ah, I really want to get changed.
I've been changing every day.
-You have? -Yeah, I wear new clothes every day.
People are probably thinking you've been wearing the same clothes all week.
I change every day. I even shower.
My head.
You have a fever? Are you okay?
Yes, I'm fine.
Do you think they were trying to get me over there
and eliminate me by ganging up on me in the prison match?
Yeah, I do.
Just eliminating me doesn't mean they'd win.
I guess they felt they had to eliminate you
because they didn't know what kind of reward you had.
I didn't really like what they said.
So-hui, you have to try to win.
We're just trying to survive.
They were saying they have no ambition to win…
-Exactly. -…but they clearly do.
They're doing that because they want to win.
How many Pieces does he have right now?
-He had 13 and lost half, so six? -He has seven Pieces.
-Seven? -Yes.
No.
I want you to be in second. That would be beneficial for me.
-How many do you have? -I have 12. I have plenty.
I've given her two.
Great.
I wonder how long Pieces will keep mattering.
It ends tomorrow.
The two with the most Pieces will be the finalists.
They won't get any prison.
Everyone has their own worries,
they're all saying, "I'm fine, I'm fine," but they're clearly not.
Perk up, you.
-You're making me uncomfortable. -Exactly.
-Hurry up and snap out of it. -No, I'm not like this because of you.
It's just that they're all in prison again.
-Oh, is that why? -Yes, of course.
-Don't cry. -I have to see them play the death match.
I didn't understand what you were stressed out about. I'm sorry.
I wonder about the prison game.
Yeah.
Right now it's the three of us.
But later, it will just be two of us sitting here.
Today's prison match is going to be crazy.
In any case, let's do our best and play fairly.
And tomorrow try not to die.
Right, whoever survives, do your best.
Wow, it's that time again.
The prison match will commence in 30 minutes' time.
It doesn't even startle me now.
I will now introduce the fifth prison match,
which will determine the ninth player to be eliminated.
Today's prison match is called
Wall Go.
They're playing Wall Go.
-What the heck? -Three players?
Wall Go is a game where players have to build walls on the board
to make their territory as large as possible.
Hey, we played this together already.
Before the game starts, players will draw lots
to determine the order of play.
Each player shall be given two counters
each having a different color.
Beginning with the player going first,
each player shall take turns placing
one of their counters on a square of their choice.
The order shall be reversed when placing the second counter.
When the game starts,
each player in turn shall move one of their counters
one or two spaces.
Counters can be moved up, down, left or right,
but cannot be moved to a space that is already occupied.
When moving two spaces,
it is possible to move your counter forward one space
and then back to occupy the original space.
Placement's 60% of it.
When you have finished moving your counter,
you must build a wall on one of the sides of the square occupied by your counter.
It is not possible to build a wall on a side
where a wall has already been built.
Each player has 90 seconds to complete their turn,
and if they exceed their time, a wall will be placed at random.
When moving a counter,
it may not pass through a wall that is blocking its way.
However, each player shall be given one chance
to knock down a wall on one of their turns.
A player may only knock down a wall that is blocking their path.
The game shall continue in this fashion
until each player's counters are walled into their own separate territories,
at which point the game shall end.
Players should note that at this point the game ends
even if not all players have taken the opportunity
to play their wall breaker.
I see.
The number of squares enclosed in each player's territory
shall be added up,
and players shall be ranked from highest to lowest
in terms of area of territory,
with the player finishing first securing their survival.
If multiple players have the same combined area,
their rankings shall be decided by
comparing the areas of their biggest territories.
The player finishing first shall be rewarded with one Piece.
The remaining two players will engage in another game of Wall Go.
Another game?
That's so harsh.
At that time, the rule about using a wall breaker shall be rescinded.
When the game ends,
the player with the larger territory will have secured their survival.
The last remaining player shall be eliminated from The Devil's Plan.
The game will commence in 30 minutes.
It'll be pretty fair playing between the three of us.
Because when three of us play,
if one person makes a bad move, it's such a disadvantage.
One-on-one should be fun.
In one-on-one there are only four counters.
But there's no wall breaker.
Right, so it's a battle of pure skill.
We've played Wall Go a few times.
We didn't play it much, but each time was a lot of fun.
You can knock a wall down over the course of a game,
which makes for an unknown variable.
Whenever you want?
Yeah, once during one of your turns.
After knocking it down, you can rebuild it.
You can build it behind you once you barge though.
That would work.
-Well, it's only once per game. -Just once.
Then I'll knock down this wall.
Wow, then you've used it.
What happens now?
Now it's been used.
You smash it and move?
Yes, smash it, move, and continue your turn.
-I can just block it like this. -Wow. Crazy.
But now you've played your trump. You've taken your shot.
This is fun. It's simple but a lot of fun.
I'll brick him up.
He'll probably smash through.
If there's a counter here, he can't break through that way, right?
He can only come out this way.
That's why blocking is crucial.
-Eun-yu's probably good. -Right.
Then it'll end up Ji-yeong versus 7high.
All you do in prison is play Wall Go and Knight's Tour.
We played Wall Go in the prison,
and I tried to play it several times after day two,
but I couldn't finish it, and I felt like I was getting nowhere.
But then I finally succeeded on the morning of day four.
I was playing with 7high and Ji-yeong.
And I thought 7high would be a formidable competitor
in a one-on-one contest.
Gosh, I had no idea we'd end up playing this.
Emotionally, I feel like we're all on the same team.
But it's clear this is a match to determine who'll represent us.
Whoever does well at this game
will get the opportunity to face off against them.
Well, I'm ready to fight fairly and accept the result,
regardless of who wins.
So I'm going to take it seriously and give it my best.
Who do you have the closest bond with?
Eun-yu. I feel sorry for her, or I have a lot of sympathy for her.
Tomorrow is the last day, if you exclude the final.
Spending the whole time in prison can't be easy.
I guess there wasn't as much chicken in my porridge this morning as I thought.
You're referring to your "What good luck!" speech?
Yes, I said I had a good feeling about today.
It started off well, and then it all fell apart.
The prison match will begin shortly.
All prison block players,
please make your way to the death room.
Let's do this!
Okay, let's try and make it fun.
Let's do this the right way.
-Let's have fun. -Nice.
If 7high comes back tomorrow, I think he'll storm in gnashing his teeth.
Personally, I hope he's eliminated. I find him scary.
Me too.
Wow, can't believe I'm back here again.
-Take your positions. -Why don't we start with a handshake?
Shall we?
Let's play fair.
Good luck. Good luck. Do your best, everyone.
Wow, Eun-yu.
Really looks so pretty with her hair tied back like that.
Everything about her is just-- Wow.
The fifth prison match, Wall Go, will begin now.
First, we'll decide the order of play.
I've got number two.
Number three is good.
You will now place your counters.
Kang Ji-yeong, please place one of your counters.
It's hard with three players.
Too close to the middle?
Next is Son Eun-yu.
Please place a counter.
7high.
You will now place your second counters.
7high, please place your counter.
Son Eun-yu.
When we were placing them, the only thing I was worried about
was that I was going second both times.
That's what really concerned me.
When I put my first one on the left,
I placed it slightly towards the top.
So I thought, "If 7high thinks me putting this here
is encroaching on his territory, and puts one on my right,
that'll be a bit of a headache."
But that's exactly what he did.
You've really put me in a bind.
Kang Ji-yeong, please place your second counter.
MORNING, DAY 4
Ji-yeong put her counter right in the middle.
I think it has a high probability of being isolated.
So, for example, if you imagine four of us are playing
and there is a counter here, like this, then this one is trapped.
But if you start from the center and play well,
you can actually secure yourself a lot of territory.
All counters have now been placed.
We will now start the game of Wall Go.
Kang Ji-yeong, you have 90 seconds
to move your counter and place a wall.
Ji-yeong moved her counter towards me and immediately put up a wall,
which wasn't great for me, because if she pushes in my direction,
that inevitably means that my plot will be restricted.
-Son Eun-yu. -Okay.
It's just the three of them, so it's extra nerve-racking.
Whose turn is it?
7high.
-Oh, red? -Yes.
7high, it's your turn.
Of course, the only move I could make
was one to put a border between Ji-yeong and myself.
Kang Ji-yeong, your turn.
Son Eun-yu, it's your turn.
Gosh.
7high it's your turn.
It must be hard for you.
30 seconds remaining.
Nine, eight,
seven, six…
Kang Ji-yeong, your turn.
7high can get nine squares with that red counter.
Although, if Ji-yeong plays well, it could be less than nine.
You have to finish first to get out,
but if he's limited to nine, it'll be really difficult to do that.
Although, I suppose he could use his wall breaker.
Son Eun-yu, your turn.
30 seconds left.
Ten,
nine,
eight,
seven,
six…
7high, it's your turn.
And when you're playing with four people,
being hemmed in by two walls is the absolute worst.
-Exactly. -You could end up dying in one turn.
Exactly. Right.
We've figured that out now.
If it's three players, you play like this,
and as soon as someone is isolated,
you pounce and lock them in while staying wary of the other.
And you make it into a "1-versus-1" type situation.
Even if you're not in an alliance.
You have 30 seconds.
Ah, see. 7high can't move up there like that,
because the yellow one will move to block him.
So what happens if he moves to the right?
Ten,
nine,
eight,
seven,
six…
-Kang Ji-yeong, your turn. -I knew it.
-One's out of the equation. -Right. Mmm.
Son Eun-yu, your turn.
Wow, 7high is…
7high it's your turn.
So why did you come over? Why did you come to me?
30 seconds left.
Kang Ji-yeong, your turn.
Son Eun-yu, your turn.
7high, your turn.
30 seconds left.
Eun-yu's penning me in and beating me down.
I'm going nuts.
Well, it only happened because you came over here.
However it came about,
I couldn't afford to waste any more moves on it.
Ten,
nine,
eight,
seven,
six,
five…
I made that move thinking, "Is this the only move I have?"
I wanted to shut down that fight
and was also considering taking the opportunity to use my wall breaker.
Kang Ji-yeong, your turn.
With red and blue facing each other,
it'll take two turns to move two spaces down and escape,
so they're in deadlock.
She's locking Eun-yu in.
Son Eun-yu, your turn.
As 7high and Ji-yeong were fighting it out,
everyone's territories kind of became defined.
7high, it's your turn.
But if 7high wants to finish first, he has to escape to the left.
Will he break through?
Yeah, he might. Who knows.
Eun-yu was reaping all the benefits of my battle with Ji-yeong, so…
it was time to go back up and challenge Eun-yu for land.
Kang Ji-yeong, your turn.
Son Eun-yu, your turn.
That's gonna make it difficult for Ji-yeong to move.
Yeah, they have to block her in.
Why did she go there?
My counter was trapped as red and blue were battling.
But I was actually really happy with that.
So, say someone has a lot,
and they're not gonna knock a wall down just yet.
They're undecided.
I'm curious whether in that case, do they have to keep putting up walls.
Because you have to complete everything, for the game to end.
So, if you're making land, do you…
Ah, you're right. You would.
-Trapping yourself. -Yes.
So you have to keep penning yourself in?
If you look at the area where I was trapped,
it was kind of like one square, two squares, one square.
So, if I left that area and shut it up,
I was ceding it to blue,
but blue would've had to keep moving inside there and reducing its territory.
So I thought "Ah…
Instead of just taking this for myself it's better to leave it for someone else."
7high, it's your turn.
Kang Ji-yeong, your turn.
Son Eun-yu, it's your turn.
Ah, she closed it.
7high.
Kang Ji-yeong, your turn.
I was hoping for it to be turf battle between those two,
but Eun-yu was coming from the top-left, and 7high was coming like this,
so I was busy defending myself.
If I blocked one of them on one turn,
I then had to block the other on the next.
30 seconds left.
Ah, she's blocked him.
Why'd she do that?
I think she's distracted by 7high.
Son Eun-yu, it's your turn.
It was my objective from the start to get the territory in the top right.
I was thinking, "Ah, when should I try and get out?"
Or if I was completely blocked in,
I was gonna wait for the opportunity to smash through the wall.
But then Ji-yeong moved up,
so I thought "Now's my chance!" And quickly moved up.
And as I did that, 7high also blocked here,
so I was thinking it would be difficult for Ji-yeong to do anything up here.
Oops.
7high, it's your turn.
Oh, my God.
Ji-yeong had become marooned between the two of us.
As a result, two separate walls had been formed,
rendering my wall breaker useless.
The most decisive thing for blocking a player's counter is not a wall
but an opponent's counter.
Even if you knock down a wall,
if your path is blocked by an opponent's counter,
you cannot gain any territory.
Even if they had used their wall breakers and moved a space,
I was in a position where I would've had to counter and block it again,
so I wasn't expecting their wall breakers would do much to shake things up.
Why are you glaring at me?
It's over. It's finished. I think we're done.
Kang Ji-yeong, your turn.
Damn it.
30 seconds left.
Gosh.
I will use my wall breaker.
-You'll use a wall breaker? -Yes.
Oh, Ji-yeong's using her wall breaker.
But she'd be better off using it on that one up there.
Remove the wall of your choice
and move your counter.
Why? Eun-yu can just block that straightaway.
Ten,
nine,
eight,
seven,
six,
five,
four,
three,
two, one.
Your time is up.
A wall will now be placed at random.
Is she forced to?
Why'd she do that?
-Exactly. -She could've gone to another space.
I can't think properly when I'm pressed for time.
But this time, we were told we had up to 90 seconds to think
and do this and that.
So, that was a lot of pressure.
-I knew I only had 90 seconds. -Four…
So, it was like
-I could hear a ticking sound in my ears, -…three, two…
-and I could feel the time limit… -…one.
…crushing me.
Son Eun-yu, your turn.
It's over.
-Eun-yu has won. -Yep, for sure.
Honestly.
Do it quickly.
You know you've won. Everyone knows. It's okay.
It's just a game. Why are you crying?
Eun-yu, why are you crying? There's no need for that.
It's just a game. Finish it off quickly.
We all know the score. You know what it is.
You've won. Well played.
Do it. Well played. Congratulations.
30 seconds left.
All counters are now walled off,
thus ending the game.
Congratulations. It's okay.
Hey. Why are you crying? Hey.
Eun-yu, it's just a game.
Oh, poor thing.
-Don't beat yourself up. -You did well.
Son Eun-yu, as a result of having secured the largest territory,
you have secured your survival.
-Consequently… -Well played.
Son Eun-yu will be awarded one Piece.
Son Eun-yu, please return to the living space.
Finish up and hurry back.
Okay.
Personally, I think I came down really hard on the two of them.
And when I realized I was condemning one of them to leave,
it was really hard for me.
Eun-yu is really good.
When we played before,
-she was always the best. -She's a good player.
The funny thing is that it just so happened that
Ji-yeong and I had played together for five days straight.
We've really shared a lot with each other.
So, in the end when it was just the two of us left,
I approached the game thinking,
"The best way to respect my opponent is to give it my all."
To be honest, in that moment, I felt it.
We already know everything about each other.
I'd already decided if we have to cross swords,
let's fight with dignity.
Once again.
Having failed to secure your survival,
Kang Ji-yeong and 7high must play another game of Wall Go.
You will be given four counters each.
The positioning of two counters
has been determined in advance,
but you may choose where to place the remaining two.
Also, you may not use the wall breaker in this game.
The player with the largest territory when the game ends
shall earn their survival.
The other player shall be eliminated from The Devil's Plan.
As the player who secured more territory in the previous round,
7high shall go first.
Now then, let the game begin.
You will now place your counters.
As the player going first, 7high, please place your first counter.
Kang Ji-yeong, please place your first counter.
Kang Ji-yeong, please place your next counter.
Put it in the middle.
In the middle. In the middle. In the middle.
There we go.
-Blocking is important. -Mmm.
7high, please place your final counter.
All counters have now been placed.
7high, you have 90 seconds to move a counter and erect a wall.
Kang Ji-yeong, your turn.
7high, it's your turn.
Kang Ji-yeong, your turn.
Ji-yeong needs to move in an L-shape.
Yes, she has to.
That's not bad. In any case, 7high has to get out of there.
7high, it's your turn.
Kang Ji-yeong, your turn.
She's doing well.
I think as long as she remains calm she'll win.
7high, it's your turn.
30 seconds left.
Ten, nine, eight, seven…
Kang Ji-yeong, your turn.
7high, it's your turn.
Kang Ji-yeong, your turn.
7high, it's your turn.
Kang Ji-yeong, your turn.
30 seconds remaining.
If she plays like this that'll be better for her.
Ji-yeong should go here and put a wall up.
Then 7high has to come down and block here,
in which case, she can bring this one down.
Ten,
nine,
eight,
seven,
six, five…
7high, it's your turn.
-What's that? -Huh?
I guess he's trying to block this to try and wall Ji-yeong off completely.
Kang Ji-yeong, your turn.
7high, it's your turn.
Well thanks to that, Ji-yeong has a lot.
She can secure nine spaces for herself.
It's nine now, but even if she loses two, it's still seven.
Kang Ji-yeong, your turn.
Okay, now she could get another one.
-Oh, instead? -She'd get one or two more squares,
but that one's dead now.
-That's dead. -You're right.
Oh, my gosh.
7high, it's your turn.
Kang Ji-yeong, your turn.
7high, it's your turn.
But this is really good.
Ji-yeong has effectively made 7high abandon these two.
So right now, he doesn't have a move.
So leaving counters in place makes them like a wall.
I saw 7high's pieces gathered in the center.
So, I thought, "I can't afford to yield the center.
I can't move these no matter what."
30 seconds left.
Ten,
nine,
eight,
seven,
six,
five…
Kang Ji-yeong, your turn.
Why'd he do that?
Has he blocked that because he thinks all this is his? What's going on?
Ji-yeong has eight, nine, eleven.
She'll win if she gets another five or six.
I think she's gonna win
as long as she doesn't make a mistake.
Yes.
I was trying to trap the counters in the center
and I made a mistake by putting one in a bad spot.
30 seconds left.
Huh?
-Why'd she do that? -The heck?
There's no wall breaker to fall back on now.
Are they just really nervous?
They might just be tired.
Yeah, when you're in there, it's difficult to think straight.
Why did she do that?
7high, it's your turn.
Oh, no.
I was determined to stay put and not give up the center,
to give myself room to move in any direction as needed.
But I was so absorbed in my thoughts that I pretty much isolated myself.
30 seconds left.
Ten, nine…
7high, it's your turn.
That's the best option for 7high,
because it earns him three more squares.
Kang Ji-yeong, your turn.
I hope Ji-yeong notices this.
Exactly, that's her escape route.
Nice!
Yes!
Huh?
-She could've gone further. -There was no need for that.
She had to block it later.
To be honest, I actually thought about going further up
and blocking them,
but suddenly, I got scared, thinking,
"Oh, what if I go too far up and get another one walled off?"
So I was overthinking things.
You have to move that counter. The one at the top.
7high, it's your turn.
Kang Ji-yeong, your turn.
Nine, twelve.
Eighteen, nineteen…
30 seconds remaining.
I wanted to make the best possible move.
But time was passing,
and every time he was counting down, "three, two, one,"
my heart was just…
Ah, don't do it. Don't go there.
-Why would you go there? -Not there.
Ten,
nine,
eight,
seven…
7high, it's your turn.
Kang Ji-yeong, your turn.
30 seconds left.
Ten,
nine,
eight,
seven,
six,
five,
four,
three…
-Put it underneath. Underneath. -Put it below. Below.
Two, one…
Underneath. Do it! Put it underneath!
Oh, no.
7high, it's your turn.
What now?
With all counters now walled off, that concludes the game.
I will now announce the final results.
Having gained the largest area,
7high has secured his survival.
Having failed to secure her survival,
Kang Ji-yeong becomes the ninth person eliminated from The Devil's Plan.
Kang Ji-yeong, please take your leave immediately.
Wow, Ji-yeong is gone?
That's such a shame. I feel so bad for her.
I'm used to this kind of competition,
so I don't feel sad or anything about eliminations.
I've always just taken it as part of the game.
But I experienced a lot of things with Ji-yeong.
Like having that ridiculous bread in prison,
but also having a beer together in the living quarters.
There was also the sense of helplessness we just felt during the main game,
and that resulted in her going home because of me.
I think it's the first time I've felt this way about an elimination.
I really…
um…
I'm so glad we got the chance to play together. Honestly.
I really hope you know that.
Thank you.
All my memories are so vivid.
I keep thinking of when I said goodbye to Justin,
and putting Kyuhyun's counter on the Devil's square that final time.
I also keep thinking of when I first came in here,
and I saw Kyuhyun and I thought,
"Ah, now things are getting real."
And since I was eliminated after truly trying my best,
I don't have any anger or hard feelings.
In fact, I feel relieved.
My biggest regret is stepping aside when we found the secret wall,
and I think that resulted in my elimination.
When it comes to a contestant for the final…
Well, I definitely am biased,
so I just hope that 7high or Eun-yu gets to the top.
I'll be cheering them on,
no matter what.
Well played.
See you in two days.
That brings today's prison match to an end.
All players, please return to the living space.
Bad luck.
Honestly, I knew I'd feel like this after it was over,
I wasn't expecting this.
I'm feeling a bit out of it right now.
It wasn't something we ever planned,
but somehow, coincidentally, Ji-yeong and I kept playing together.
And more than anything,
when the three of us played together… how do I put it?
Our play was driven by pent-up anger and rage at the others.
We played from rock-bottom.
So it felt different when the three of us played against each other.
To be honest,
I would've really been sad if one of us had ended up having to leave
because we didn't do well in the main match,
or because we'd made a mistake.
But it happened after competing against each other in a prison match.
If we'd have lost in the main match, one of us would have left,
but I never thought we'd be in this situation.
But…
Honestly, when Ji-yeong comes back the day after tomorrow,
I think it'll feel like the opening of a treasure chest.
If one of the two of us is standing there,
it'll be like when the treasure chest gets opened.
We'll have someone to cheer on.
Or maybe both of us will be up there.
Nobody knows.
When you say things like that, it makes me feel so sad.
Like I have to live up to her expectations.
But honestly, you're really amazing.
You've come through this five times now.
Tomorrow, I'd really love to sleep in the living quarters.
-Right. -That'd mean you made the final, right?
Tomorrow's my only opportunity to sleep there. That's funny.
Will I really not get to spend a night in the living quarters
-unless I make it to the final? -If you don't make it to the final,
you can't change your clothes, and you'll end the game…
…with no make up on
and wearing a prison uniform.
Hey, what better motivation is there than that?
-That's serious motivation. -Ah, that's so funny.
If Eun-yu claws her way into the final,
she'll be formidable.
Wow, if she does that, she'll really be "Queen of the Prison."
Eun-yu is pretty amazing.
Yeah, she's scary.
We already know she's the Queen of the Prison,
but it's the fact that she's really good at maintaining her composure
makes me think she really is the greatest player.
I'm looking forward to going up against her tomorrow.
I'm gonna do everything to ensure that we're still in first and second.
Only the top two will survive tomorrow.
You have to protect your position.
Okay.
Still, today might have turned out well for Hyun-gyu,
but I think it's meaningful that So-hui lost a lot of her Pieces.
In any case, if it's a solo game, Hyun-joon's Pieces--
I'm not thinking about things like that anymore.
-Really? -In any case, in the end,
it's not so much of a fight to steal Pieces, it's more of a system
-that weaponizes Pieces. -Right.
That's how games are.
If you manage to get a hit in, another chance will follow.
And if you get that hit in too, well, your competitor might make a mistake
-and you can get another hit in. -Well,
-that's what we did today. -And at some point, they might go down.
But today, both sides suffered a lot of damage.
Because of Hyun-gyu.
To be honest, I've been thinking I was the villain.
I thought, "God, why do I keep doing such bad things?"
I've been thinking that for five days now,
but there was a real villain hidden in plain sight.
I was just a hoodlum.
-You say you're a hoodlum? -Yes.
-Not a villain, but a hoodlum? -I wasn't a villain, I was a hoodlum.
The real villain was someone else.
Well, to be honest,
I was impressed with all the moves that Hyun-gyu made today.
But after that stunt he pulled at the end with the Pieces,
I was really amazed.
But it wasn't that I admired him for making a really great move,
I was just,
"Wow, how could he…"
Like, he took it that far?
-Yes, so I think, in some way… -Yes.
-…that's pretty amazing. -Right, right.
If you look at all this as one long game,
he made a very good move there at the end.
-With that whatchamacallit. -That was the right choice. Definitely.
He had a golden ticket up his sleeve, and he played it.
Actually, he made the best choice for his survival.
He put that as top priority.
He made the best choice.
Well, his moves were good,
but there are people who've been hurt and eliminated.
Tomorrow, I think 7high… he's really gonna come for you.
What did I even do?
Attacking me might be bad for him.
If I were 7high,
I'd bolster Eun-yu.
So I'm bearing that in mind.
Things are simple now.
The whole game has become very simple.
It's kill or be killed.
Have fun tomorrow.
Me and So-hui are gonna be allied.
You're out.
Fine.
Just a head's up.
He was so brutally honest and ruthless, saying,
"Hyun-joon, I'm playing with So-hui tomorrow. You're out."
You do your best, and I'll do mine.
I'll need to go up against Hyun-gyu again,
and I think it'll be fine to join up with 7high and Eun-yu.
At least, we'll be able to mount a defense of some sort.
He has so many more Pieces than us, but we have to do the best we can.
You went through a lot today.
You went through more.
We need to be in tip-top condition tomorrow.
Is that really possible for us down here?
As good as we can,
given the circumstances.
If we get porridge tomorrow, I'm gonna eat up.
I just wanna eat some samgyetang.
That would be great. But that'll never happen.
I think the best we can expect to get here is abalone porridge.
I just miss meat,
like braised spicy chicken…
-Braised spicy chicken would be amazing. -…braised short ribs, things like that.
I didn't think I was missing anything. I thought I'd forgotten all about food.
But braised spicy chicken or short ribs? That would be out of this world.
Thank you.
What is it?
I wonder what it is.
Hey.
Is it porridge?
Isn't this beef and mushroom porridge?
Oh, it is. It's mushroom porridge.
I can't believe we're having every different type of mushroom porridge.
So depressing.
I was looking forward to it.
Still, at least it has a bit of beef in it.
There's hardly… there's hardly any meat.
-You getting up? -Yes.
Did you sleep well?
How about you?
-Like a baby. Mmm. -Yeah? Mmm.
I'm full.
No matter how much I eat, I feel empty.
I always feel like I'm getting indigestion.
Wow, it doesn't feel real
that this is all just a set,
and we have to play another game in a bit.
It's the same every day.
Don't you think people change the moment they leave this room?
That's what's scary to me.
The atmosphere here, the warm atmosphere in prison,
-it all vanishes… -Mmm.
-…and everyone gets riled up. -Mmm.
I know that's normal, but still.
-It's not easy. -No.
As soon as you step through the door,
the problems start.
The moment we leave here and enter the game zone,
people change.
They're not their usual human selves.
-Get rid of Sang-yeon. -We need to start throwing punches.
-I think we have to go with them. -You know how to do math?
I'll be back tomorrow. Don't go anywhere.
It's like they turn into the most hideous version of themselves.
What exactly was that thing you did the other time?
When you and Justin only had a few chips left,
what exactly did you do then?
How did you determine whether it was the right time to go all-in or not?
It's a strategy for when you judge that it's meaningless
to just raise one or two chips
and you're better off doubling up.
For example, if you think that after seeing your last two cards,
there's a 50% chance you'll have a good hand.
-Okay. -Imagine a situation like this.
Someone has 150 chips,
another person has 30,
you have 20, and I have 10 or something like that.
150, 30…Okay. Ah, is that our situation now? Okay.
That's our situation. I'll explain the process.
-So I go all-in. -Okay.
But the other two fold. It's just you left.
Now, you think you have a 50% chance
-of developing your hand. -Okay.
-Or your hand might suck. -Yeah.
So do you think you can improve the hand or not?
-It's not easy. -Right.
To be honest, you can only use that strategy against someone
who'll feel pressured by you doing it.
Then how do you go up against the guy with 150 chips?
It's tough.
It's a long, drawn-out war.
Games like that are really tiring.
You have to consider how many chips you have
and decide whether you're going to go for a short, sharp game
or try and drag things out.
I hope today's game will be a long, drawn-out affair.
After all, aren't we gonna be stronger
than the other two in a long fight?
-I think it's a miracle we're still alive. -Mmm.
But I'm holding onto the hope that that miracle will happen again.
Whatever it takes.
-Right. -Mmm.
Do you think today's game will be fun?
Startled me.
THE MAIN MATCH WILL BEGIN SHORTLY
It does every time.
The main match will begin shortly. All players…
-Good luck. -…please make your way
-to the game zone. -Let's do this!
-Yeah! -We got this!
-Have some fun. -Let's do this!
-Good! -Something feels different today.
-Mmm. -There's, like, a tension in the air.
Great.
-Ah, the betting. -Yes.
-Good morning. -Now this is more like it. Hello!
Hi.
-I'm sorry, Eun-yu. -Thanks.
What do you mean?
The Queen of the Prison is going to triumph.
-Cut it out, Hyun-gyu. 14? -We've been saying that all along.
I was blown away when you got 14.
I had to solve an 8x8.
-An 8x8 version? -Of A Knight's Tour. 6x6, 7x7, and 8x8.
That's amazing. Then you deserve them.
Thanks.
-7high. Well played. -Hello.
-I watched the whole Wall Go game. -Huh?
Hey, Hyun-joon. I can't believe you're wearing denim.
It's hilarious.
It's on purpose.
-On purpose? -Yeah, we're playing as a team today.
-Aren't we? -Good morning.
The Devil's Plan's sixth main match will begin shortly.
Kang Ji-yeong was eliminated during yesterday's prison match,
leaving just five players.
Ah, that's right.
Before the game begins,
let me update you on the number of Pieces each player holds.
Currently, Jeong Hyun-gyu has the most Pieces.
I will now introduce the sixth main match.
Today's main match is called
Doubt and Bet.
Doubt and Bet is a game
where players must predict the color of a certain card
or doubt your opponent's prediction.
The game is played with a total of 60 cards.
10 each of red, yellow, green, blue, purple and rainbow.
Before the game starts,
each player shall be given 5 card slots and 4 slot chips.
The slots are the spaces where players place the cards they are given,
and the slot chips are used instead of the slots when it comes to betting.
After thoroughly shuffling all 60 cards,
the dealer deals each player in turn five cards face down.
When all players have placed their cards in their slots,
the player going first shall make a prediction and a bet.
The player going first has three minutes to make a prediction
on how many cards in total of a certain color
are held by all players in their slots.
For these purposes, rainbow cards shall be considered the color in question.
After making their prediction,
the player shall consider how much to wage on it and place their bet.
-The player shall bet at least one Piece… -Damn it.
…or may, alternatively, bet a slot.
To bet a slot, the player shall give up a slot chip.
If the player loses, that slot shall be withdrawn,
and in the next round, the player shall only receive the number of cards
equal to the number of slots they have available.
One slot is reserved for playing the game
and may not be wagered.
That is to say, a maximum of four slot chips can be used.
After the first player has made their prediction and placed their bet,
the next player uses their turn to declare
that they either "accept" or "doubt" the prediction.
If they judge that the previous player's prediction is correct,
they shall declare that they "accept" it.
If they declare acceptance,
the Piece or slot chip wagered by the previous player is returned to them,
and the player whose turn it is,
makes their own prediction and wager in the same fashion.
At this stage, the player must make a prediction
that is higher than the one they have just accepted.
For example, if the previous player bet that there were seven yellow cards,
the current player must bet that there are at least eight yellow cards.
Because they accepted it.
At this time, they may bet on the same color
or change to a different color.
If they judge that the previous player's prediction is wrong,
they shall declare that they "doubt" it, and go up against that player.
-Ugh. -Ugh, it's a head-to-head duel.
The doubting player can choose
to "raise" or "call" the previous player.
If they choose to raise,
the player being doubted can choose
to raise, call or fold,
and betting shall continue
until one of the players calls or folds.
When one of the players folds,
the Pieces and slot chips wagered are given to the other player.
Wow.
And the round ends without the cards being revealed.
If both players have wagered the same number of chips,
and one of them calls,
all cards are turned face up.
If this reveals that the previous player's prediction was wrong,
the doubting player has made a successful doubt
and receives all the Pieces or slot chips wagered.
For example,
a player doubts a prediction of there being at least five red cards.
When the cards are revealed, there are only four red cards,
the player that made the bet loses it
and loses all the Pieces and slot chips they wagered.
-Oh. -If the player that made the bet
is correct, that is to say there are at least the same number of cards
as was predicted or more,
the doubt fails,
and the player that placed the bet gets all the Pieces and slot chips
that were wagered.
At this time, slot chips that were bet are converted into Pieces.
Ah, your winnings are Pieces, not slots.
Moreover, at any point during the game,
players may exchange Pieces for slots and vice versa.
-Ah. -When exchanging slots for Pieces,
you can only receive as many slot chips as there are slots.
It is not possible to have more than five slots.
-Oh, that's the max. -Mmm.
When the match-up is over, the round ends,
and all players must return their cards.
The cards are then shuffled
and dealt to the players in as many slots as they have,
and the game continues.
The order of play for the first round will be decided by drawing lots,
and from Round 2 onward, the player that lost the bet shall go first.
If someone is eliminated,
the player directly before them will go first,
and in any case, players will swap places every ten rounds.
Additionally, after the end of Round 15,
all players shall relinquish one Piece each every five rounds.
What the…
Looks like fun.
If a player loses all their Pieces, they are eliminated,
and the game shall continue until three players remain.
When there's three left?
When the game is over,
each player shall be given one Piece for each slot they still have in play.
At that point,
the player with the most Pieces shall advance to the final.
-The other two have to do something else. -The other two players will go to prison.
Wow, someone gets the living quarters…
-…to themselves tonight? -Don't be like that.
-The game will start in 30 minutes. -Prison.
-That's a bit harsh, Mr. Dealer. -You are free to do
to do whatever you wish until then.
I have to go back to prison again?
If I spend tonight in prison, I guess that's okay.
But like, ugh, we still have to sleep in prison?
I think that's what hit me the hardest.
But the next thought I had was,
"Okay, it's not bad."
All I have to do is finish in the top three,
and then I can finish things off in the prison match.
I thought that was better for me.
I think this game might send me home really quickly,
but it also might be the only game that'll give me a chance of making the final.
So it's not that bad.
We need to work together in this.
-Information is critical. -Yes, I know.
-Ah, of course. Okay. -Let's chat with Hyun-joon.
-Let's talk. -7high, come here.
I think those three are working together.
-Hmm? -I think those three are allied.
Anyhow, he was very open.
-Yes. -Last night he actually said,
"I'm not gonna play with you."
-What? -The three of us gotta collab.
-Of course we will. -Yes, well, precisely.
In a game of five people,
three people sharing information is a huge benefit.
It's a great advantage.
So we can use that information to cooperate.
So ultimately, hopefully, they'll get eliminated.
Pro-poker player, 7high,
Queen of the Prison, Eun-yu, and me…
What am I? Just someone who got out of prison.
Anyhow, the three have a connection to prison,
but those two have no connection to prison.
Of course, we might end up being eliminated.
Still, our objective is to show that people can make it by playing smart.
I think a lot will be decided by order of play.
Yes, I thought it'd be a completely individual game.
-It is. -But like this?
I didn't think we'd split up to talk like this.
We have a lot of Pieces, so we can work together,
but those guys can't.
So-hui and I have a lot of Pieces between us,
so we're thinking of applying pressure from Round 15 onward.
We tough it out till then,
and then we eliminate the other three, one at a time.
I'm hoping to see 7high in danger
so that they turn against each other.
But if we do this, it's so simple.
You just play and we share information
-with each other. -Exactly.
We just have to play a game of guessing ten.
-That's better than having to guess 15. -Right, right.
-But how do we share? -We get them,
-then write them down. -Yes.
And then, during those three minutes,
we can gather together and share.
-So there are six colors. -Right.
Let's assume that the 25 cards are evenly distributed to some extent.
So that means there are
-about four of each color, right? -On average.
Then on average, there are about eight.
Since the rainbow cards are equivalent to plus four.
That means we can calculate to some degree.
This is important.
-It's average eight? -Because it's an average of four,
and the rainbow just adds four to everything.
-So it's an average of four. Well, 4.33. -Ah, they're all used?
Because if I choose blue, the rainbow cards are blue,
-if I choose red, then they're red. -Right, right.
Then, it's better if we got a lot of rainbow cards.
Yeah, it's best to have a lot of those.
And it's good for us to be at one extreme…
-Best to have none of one card. -…or the other.
Or an absolute truckload.
So either a lot or none of one color.
They're definitely gonna go with the numbers in the beginning.
-They don't know how to bluff. -Right.
Since they have to play it safe, they're just gonna treat is as a tool.
So, if we're bluffing and they doubt me?
If they doubt, just call.
Yeah, just call it.
If they doubt you on three,
just give it to them.
-Right. We just… -Right? You only lose one chip.
But once they start winning, we just keep raising.
Right, I'm going to raise them every time. I've just gotta go for them.
I think they're mostly just going to call.
I'm just gonna go for it. I'll just do what I want.
I'm gonna be eliminated anyways. I'm mentally prepared.
You're going for it right away?
I'm a Poker player.
-I don't bluff when I'm in a tight spot. -7high,
just don't forget, your slots are part of our alliance.
Of course. I know that. I'm aware.
It's my life, and I'm gonna do the best I can, so don't worry too much.
I'm not gonna do anything stupid. We can just bluff once in a while.
So, if I bet a slot chip and lose it, I lose the slot itself, right?
For example, if I lose two slot chips,
then I don't just lose the chips
-but I lose the slots as well, correct? -Right. You lose both.
Players can use their slot chips
to wager card slots instead of Pieces.
However, if they lose the slot chip, they also lose the slot itself,
which reduces the information they have
and makes subsequent predictions more difficult.
When we start taking their chips, that's when we're close to victory.
Right. But I think the order of play
-is gonna be so important. -That's true.
Unless the three of them are one after the other…
-Worst scenario would be this. -…it ain't easy.
Two, one, with one of us stuck in the middle.
-Exactly. I'm worried that's gonna happen. -Yeah.
And then someone will definitely doubt us.
-That's how the game ends. -Exactly.
If we're in a row, we can give each other Pieces,
-which won't be bad. -Yes.
You can make strange doubts, but also, you can make accurate doubts.
We can exchange them back and forth
-like Ping-Pong. -Right,
-you can guess it spot on or incorrectly. -Yes, then I'll raise two
-and end things. -Mmm.
I hope we're in a row. We have to be for your strategy to work.
-Right. Yes. -It's a war of attrition.
We're gonna need a little bit of luck.
Right.
We need a good place.
This is going to be fun.
Let's definitely try to make it to the final. Who knows--
Your time is up.
Please gather in the hall.
Let's do this! We can turn things around.
This is an opportunity for the three of us to move up.
The three of us will get through.
Phew.
This'll be fun.
You will now draw lots to determine the order of play.
Please.
Oh, nice. It would be a bit difficult to talk while sitting apart.
But I got a good position.
Is Hyun-gyu going first?
Hey, Hyun-gyu, honestly…
Hey, Hyun-joon, wouldn't you be better off joining us?
-Hmm? -You'd be guaranteed prison, at least.
He's at it again.
You said you wouldn't join us.
You can play with us.
I won't.
I will shuffle the cards.
I am even more certain of things today.
So-hui and I have decided to go for the top two positions.
Having made it this far, I'd better win.
I wanna get to the final at least.
I'm proud of myself for making it this far from prison.
I just hope nothing happens to Hyun-gyu.
I wanna help him as much as I can.
I'm in a very unfavorable position right now. That's all I'm worried about.
So I'm gonna put my life on the line and just do my best.
Round 1 of Doubt and Bet will begin now.
And what's more, Kyuhyun will have left, thinking he died a hero's death.
Don't you think Kyuhyun knew though?
-I don't think he knew. Or did he? -How could he?
Did any of the others know about your reward?
The ten Pieces?
Can I let you in on a secret?
-Is it about where you went? -Yeah.
I solved it with just one minute remaining and got ten Pieces.
-Ah. -But I get ten Pieces…
-I see. -…whenever I ask for them.
If I yell, they'll give them to me straightaway.
Mmm.
So I've got a reason to never go to jail.
Wow, that's amazing.
-I wanted to tell you and So-hui. -Okay.
I'll give you more if I get them.
-Don't. Please don't. -We have to make sure
-you stay in the living quarters. -I want you through.
-Still, I hope you-- -I hope you stay out of prison.
Still, I hope you do well until the end.
-They'll never know. -That's amazing.
Wow, that's amazing.
That means he's practically immortal.
Then who do you want to end up last?
-Do we have to decide now? -Yes.
I want to get rid of Hyun-joon because of Hyun-gyu.
But I think Hyun-gyu is about to win.
-Hyun-gyu is gonna win for sure. -Yes, Hyun-gyu is ready for it.
-He's very powerful now. -He's strong right now.
Let's target Hyun-gyu.
Then we better get rid of Hyun-gyu.
-If we don't, he'll get through. -If we can send him to prison,
that'll be better, don't you think?
But… nothing wrong with that, right?
So, I guess what I mean is
I really don't want to reveal the amount of Hyun-gyu's reward by killing him.
Is it okay to say to him, "You really wanna win
just so you can lose a life, get your ten Pieces and start over?"
Is that really right?
I felt a little sorry, seeing him all alone,
going up against six players,
and I wanted to help him.
