Hey, this isn't tight enough.
-Right. Sorry about that. -And look there.
That jack's in the wrong position, man.
Someone could get hurt.
I already explained this to you.
Why can't you do anything right, huh?
I'm sorry.
SUMIRE PUFFERFISH CUISINE
Kato keeps riding my ass like I'm a stupid newbie.
I can't work every day of the week with no time off.
I'm not like my dad. He died from working too much.
I'm doing this now, but once I get enough money,
I'm gonna take some courses,
and I'll quit that dump.
Then I'll do something really worthwhile.
I'm sorry you feel like that.
I plan to keep on working hard at that dump.
I like it there.
Oh. I didn't…
Kato keeps riding you because you have a bad attitude.
You might learn to do the job right before shitting on it.
Sure, it might not be the most exciting job,
but I work my ass off every single day, get my paycheck,
and go home to my grateful family.
Has anyone ever been grateful to you for anything?
Hurry up now.
-Move it. -Yes, sir.
I'll take off the splash shield. You remove the jack.
Yes, sir.
Get him out!
Hey, move! Get the car up!
-Okay, go! -Get it up!
Get it up!
-A whole turn! -Hang on, Kato!
-It's up! Hang on, almost there. -Okay!
-It's up. It's up. -Kato, you okay?
-Move it. Move! -Come on.
-Easy. Easy… -Okay.
-Get him out. -Come on.
Easy.
You're okay.
-It's okay. -Ugh!
-Don't stand there! Call an ambulance! -Are you all right?
-Are you okay? -Kato!
-Look at his arm!
The jack slipped!
-Kato, hey! -Hang in there, man!
Hold it! Easy. Easy. Don't try to get up.
Kato decided to quit.
Why?
What do you think? He has no choice.
His hand is completely useless now.
You should leave. Get out!
-Thank you. -There it is.
-Yeah. -Guys, break out those shocks.
-You know the ones? -Anyway…
-I don't know when he's coming back. -Do you know, uh… if he's coming back?
-It kind of slipped out, man. -Yeah.
That Tatta is an idiot.
I don't know. I don't know if…
-…they rushed him to the hospital… -He's all right…
Nine minutes remain.
The King of Clubs team is leading by 500 points.
Aah! You bastard!
What the fuck are you doing?
I just wanted to have a little fun with your girlfriend
before this stupid game was over!
You asshole!
Sure, you act like a hero.
But I know you're just like me!
I fucking hate how you walk around like you're full of hope.
Except now I can finally see that hope draining out of you.
And I'll die happy knowing how pathetic you are.
Eight minutes left.
Seems like the enemy is laying low.
It's over, I guess.
What a letdown, huh?
That's just how the game goes.
There's no time left for them to do anything.
I think I'm gonna take a walk.
This feels like an eternity.
Just waiting here to die.
Arisu. I'm sorry.
I couldn't fight.
I couldn't help you in the end.
Usagi,
I should apologize to you.
I'm sorry.
I'm sure
if we went back, I'd still hate it there.
No, staying here won't change that.
Usagi--
You can't push people into following you for no reason.
You have to be ready to listen.
Wait for them to come to you.
Seven minutes remain.
You decided to come.
Something told me that I would see you here.
Something told me the same thing.
That's why I came.
To see if you might be waiting for me here.
The ocean is wide.
That's why we're drawn to it.
We want to commune with something bigger than we are.
Your team beat ours.
So do you have any regrets?
To be honest,
I'm a bit disappointed.
Five minutes remain.
Please, tell me, Kyuma.
I need to know the answer.
Before I die.
You know that I can't.
You've given up.
I thought you'd say that.
Well, then…
what about
one last handshake
before I go?
What would you say to that?
Handshake?
The game isn't over yet.
If we shake hands now,
we would have to battle, and I'd win.
I finally realized something about myself,
because of what you said.
I should have been ready to listen.
I should have waited for them to come to me.
Let them know they could depend on me.
And maybe we could've
understood each other a little better then.
I know we're enemies.
You're my opponent.
And I know it might seem like I'm being crazy.
But I still really want to say thank you.
Thank you for helping me realize those things.
I know that… I don't have much time left to do anything else.
I know I'm gonna die.
So please,
let me shake the hand of the one…
…who showed me my true self.
All right.
Since it's my opponent's dying wish,
I'd be honored to grant it to you.
Thank you, Kyuma.
Arisu.
Getting to battle with you
was a great pleasure.
The scores have been updated.
Uh… huh?
Huh?
Is this for real?
The player team is leading by 500 points.
KYUMA: 14,000 LOSE ARISU & TATTA: 14,950 WIN
What?
14,950 points?
What kind of trick is this?
It's not a trick at all.
Seven minutes remain.
What are you doing? Stop it!
Getting the wristband off of me!
Stop!
It's no use.
I can't get it off.
Pathetic.
Arisu.
You gotta do it.
What do you mean, get it off?
Well, I figured out a plan.
There's 10,100 points here.
If you hold onto it hidden in your pocket, it'll be like there's two of us.
Then our team might be able to win that way.
Tatta, I can't. No!
They never said anything about taking the wristband off.
Please, Arisu!
I don't think I can do it.
Please, there's no time!
Do it for me!
We can win this way.
Everybody's life is on the line here!
What are you waiting for?
Six minutes remain.
Otherwise everyone will die!
Arisu!
Do it!
You've just gotta do it, okay? Hurry!
I can't.
Please, or you'll kill everyone! Do it for them!
Just go!
Do it!
Arisu!
Do it!
Tatta!
I'm sorry.
I'm sorry!
No.
I'm sorry I made you do it.
I'm sure it was hard.
-Quick, take it. -I've gotta stop the bleeding!
Just take it!
Arisu.
Remember when you thanked me earlier?
I felt so much joy.
It was like
I was the hero for once.
I promise I'll be fine.
Don't worry, I'm not gonna die from this.
Hurry up, or everyone else will die!
Go on!
Go!
Just go!
Whoa…
You are way more screwed up than I thought.
I won the game, thanks to my friend.
Wow. I guess we finally lost the game.
So even someone as wise as you
is still afraid of death?
No.
I'm thinking about my friend Shitara, who died earlier.
He said that if I let him die in vain,
he'd beat the shit out of me in the afterlife,
and I know he meant it.
And all my teammates are gonna be disappointed in me.
I'm sorry.
You were the one who set the tone.
We were all equals in this game, and we gave everything.
With all our hearts.
I've never had this much passion for anything.
And you showed me how.
Kyuma,
you guys were a team before this, weren't you?
Kyuma, you asshole.
I guess he dropped his guard right at the end.
Well, aren't you the one to talk?
Yeah, you're right.
Without Kyuma,
none of our sorry asses would have made it this far in the game.
We can't hold him responsible for anything.
That's right.
Thanks, Kyuma.
It was pretty fun.
We'll do some more stupid shit on the other side.
Kyuma.
You love your friends as much as I love mine.
And with every single game, you kept on risking your lives.
But you kept winning,
and progressing more.
We're all doing the same thing.
Everyone just wants to stop playing the game.
Isn't that right?
But it seems like, even if you win them all,
you still just become citizens of Borderland.
So do we get to go back to where we came from?
Tell me the truth.
Do we get to go back?
If that's what your intuition is saying,
then maybe that's your truth.
What kind of an answer is that?
Come on, man.
So there's…
there's no point in playing any of these games.
Do you think you'll find out if you stop playing?
Well, what is it all supposed to mean?
I don't think I can do it.
I'm never gonna be as strong as you are.
You'll never be like me, Arisu,
and you shouldn't want that.
You're playing your own game.
You're the master of your own fate.
No time remains.
It is game over for the King of Clubs team, as they ended with fewer points.
Arisu.
Good luck to you.
I don't want you to die!
When we first met,
we knew that one of us was going to die.
If we hadn't met playing this game, who's to say--
The only reason we became this close
was because we met playing the game.
But if we had met somewhere else,
then maybe we could have actually been friends.
We've been friends this whole time.
Arisu.
I hope you figure it out.
How to live by your own rules.
Your life is yours.
Don't follow someone else's path.
It was an honor playing with you.
So this is the end.
I had a great life.
I lived it without a single regret.
And I know that I'm ready to die.
Kyuma.
The player team wins.
Usagi? Usagi!
Kuina.
We won.
What? Really?
PLAYER TEAM CONGRATULATIONS
Arisu must have saved us somehow.
We won?
Tatta, are you okay?
Tatta!
Hang on, Tatta!
Just hang on.
Tatta.
Tatta,
we won.
We won,
and it's all thanks to you.
Sweet.
Hey, come on, Tatta.
Keep it together, all right?
Tatta.
You see?
When I try,
I can
be great.
Yeah. You are great.
We won because of you, Tatta.
Thank you.
Hey, Tatta!
Tatta! Don't go!
Don't you go!
Tatta!
Oh no. Just hang on, Tatta!
Tatta!
Come on!
Tatta!
Tatta,
don't leave me.
It's a pretty view.
This is a nice place to rest.
Yeah.
We can't…
let his death be for nothing.
We need to keep going,
to keep Tatta's memory alive.
I'm so fucking pissed off that I survived,
and it's all because of you.
Even so,
I guess I'm grateful that I'm still alive.
So thank you.
TEIO PRISON
PUT ON A COLLAR AND GO UPSTAIRS TO THE CENTRAL GUARDROOM
Difficulty level, Jack of Hearts.
Game, Solitary Confinement.
Rules. Guess the card suit that appears on the back of your collar.
However, you may not look at the symbol yourself.
I can't see anything.
The time limit is one hour per round.
In the final five minutes, enter your cell and disclose your symbol.
If you do not answer with the correct symbol, it is game over.
The collar will explode, and you will die.
Additionally, when the time limit reaches zero,
the symbol on the collar will reset and change for each round.
Wait a sec. So that means we just have to ask each other what our symbols are.
That's easy, huh?
I'm not so sure.
They haven't told us what the conditions to win are yet.
The Solitary Confinement game
is about how much you can trust your fellow players.
Be aware that your opponent, the Jack of Hearts,
has already been placed among you.
Oh, that's good.
So one of us
is the Jack of Hearts?
How to win.
Rounds repeat every hour.
You win the game when the Jack of Hearts dies.
Prohibited actions.
Looking at your symbol with a reflective surface is cheating.
Players may not use weapons or violence to kill fellow players.
This means that the only way this game will ever end
is if the Jack gives the wrong answer.
So, basically,
no one here is getting out alive, unless they lie to the Jack.
There is no limit to the number of rounds.
There's no limit?
Enough food has been provided.
What?
While participating in this game,
no days will be removed from your visas.
So we need to start lying,
find the Jack of Hearts, and kill them off,
or we'll live out the rest of our days in this prison.
Solitary for life.
The game will now commence.
ROUND ONE
You can roam freely until it is time to enter your cell.
Is this for real?
Hey, man.
Would you mind telling me what my symbol is?
And then I can tell you yours.
Okay.
So, the 20 of us need to eliminate each other
until we somehow figure out who the Jack of Hearts is.
What makes you think that anyone is trustworthy?
Do you wanna go downstairs?
I have an idea.
How about we get together and make teams to tell each other?
So that way, nobody can lie.
Good idea.
Um, would you mind if I joined up with you?
Me too?
Excuse me. I'd like to join as well.
Sure! The more the merrier!
Can I join too, please?
Hey. I want you to tell me what my symbol is.
Um… Okay.
Tell me what my symbol is, man.
Go on.
-Uh… -Huh?
Why, can't you tell me? Then I'll look at yours.
Huh?
Okay, now tell me mine.
-All right. -Come on.
Hey, wanna tell each other the answer?
If you're trying to survive,
I would examine all the people here a little more carefully.
Make sure you keep the ones who don't lie close.
For all you know, I'm the one who might be the Jack.
You see?
They all started breaking off into groups.
Everyone wants to know who's trustworthy and who's not.
Take those two.
Listen.
If you wanna be safe…
Before the game started, you wanna know what they were doing?
What?
That guy wants to control everything she does to exert power over her
so that she can't interact with any of the other players.
Which is smart, in the long run.
If you've got someone you can trust that much,
that's how you can win the game.
Hey.
-Doesn't look like you have a partner yet. -Hearts…
Tell me what my symbol is, and I'll tell you yours.
-I don't know. -Spades.
Clubs.
That's a pretty aggressive attitude to take.
Huh?
That kind of childishness makes you painfully transparent.
You're ashamed of the darkness inside you, which makes you petty and jealous.
You try to keep yourself safe behind those bangs.
You hide your face so that people won't see your ugly, empty soul.
You're a pathetic excuse of a human being who judges others to feel better.
Pathetic and small.
But that's what I like about you.
We should be friends.
Hey.
Do you wanna join our team?
No pressure or anything.
It's not that I don't want to.
Okay. We'll join the group.
-Do you wanna join us? -Yes.
Welcome to the group. Welcome.
So I'm gonna go first, okay?
I hope you'll all give me the right answer.
Oh, Urumi, yours is…
is a heart.
-Heart. -Heart. Heart.
-Heart. Yes. -Yeah.
Okay, will you please do mine next?
Yours is a heart too.
-Heart, yes. -Heart.
Heart.
-Mm-hmm. -I'll go next.
-You're a spade. -Yes. Spade.
-It's a spade. -See, it's a spade.
-Uh, may I go next? -Sure. Yeah.
-Diamond. -Diamond?
-Yes, yes, diamond. -It's a diamond.
Yes, a diamond.
Yes. Diamond. Diamond.
-That's it. -Mm-hmm.
-Club. -You're a club. That's it.
-A club, yes. It's a club. -Club, yes.
Oh, okay, I'll go next.
It is time to give your answer.
Please enter a solitary confinement cell of your choosing.
Please give your answer.
Diamond.
Wow.
That was so easy.
-Ah, thank goodness! -Let's do this every round.
Yes.
Oh my gosh. I'm so relieved.
Thank goodness.
Round two begins now.
-Thank you so much. Let's do that again. -Yes, thank you so much.
-Yes, thank you. Thank you so much. -Yes, thank you.
-Thank you so much. -Thank you.
-An answer! -Thanks everyone, for being honest.
I feel very relieved.
I keep wondering how long this is going to go on for.
Either the Jack will start to kill,
or someone who's afraid of the Jack will start to kill.
…stick together…
Until either or both of those things happen, this will never end.
Exactly.
As long as we keep being honest with each other, we'll be all right.
Or not.
What the fuck?
I told you to give me the answer!
You all right?
Tell him he's a club.
Looks to me like you want another beating.
Huh?
Give me the answer!
C-- Club.
-Huh? -Club!
Don't wait so long next time.
Shh!
Now the game is really starting.
Are you all right?
Yeah.
How would you like to join up with our group instead?
Thank you.
It is time to give your answer.
Please enter a solitary confinement cell of your choosing.
Please give your answer.
The answer's club.
GENKI KIRIU
Oh, I can't believe it.
I know him.
-I'm so scared. -That bully.
-I wonder who's gonna be next. -Okay, great.
-Do you think it could be me? -What? I don't get it.
I don't know.
He hit that guy.
Lo-- look. Someone's missing.
-That big dumb guy, right? -Is that right?
Yes, yes, it was him, yes.
-Remember, we're a team. -Yeah.
If we keep telling the truth, then…
-It was me. -…everyone will be okay.
Hey.
…what his suit was, that's all…
That guy must be the Jack.
Yeah, I know.
-He lied to that big bully and killed him. -Someone has to…
-Okay, we stay together. -I don't know who to trust.
I think we'd better kill him next turn.
-What do you think? -What?
-You tell me… -Are you saying…
-…trust each other… -…we should lie to him?
-How are we supposed to know? -What…
Of course.
He's definitely the Jack.
And if not, he's still dangerous.
We should eliminate him while we have the chance.
Next up is, uh…
You!
Okay, great.
Oh, you're a heart.
-Yeah, a heart. -Yes. Heart.
-Yes, that's a heart. -Heart. Heart.
-May I go next? -Yes, yes, please.
Your symbol is a diamond.
-Diamond, yes. -Diamond.
-That's a diamond. -It's a diamond.
Can you do mine next?
Looks like your symbol's a spade.
-Uh, yes. -Mm-hmm.
-Spade. Spade. -Yes.
-It's a spade. -Spade.
-Thank you very much.
-Uh… -Hm…
Uh…
Please give your answer.
It's a spade.
AKIFUMI SETO
Round four begins now.
What? I don't get it.
I guess that guy wasn't the Jack of Hearts.
See? Told you this would happen.
People are starting to get nervous.
I know they said there was no time limit…
except that people are actually starting to die now.
I'm not sure we'll find the Jack at all.
That girl there,
she wasn't on our side when we tried to get our stories straight earlier.
Should we kill her? Hmm?
Please, do mine.
Oh, uh… Diamond.
-Yes. Diamond. -Diamond. Diamond. It is.
All right, will you do mine next, please?
It looks like your symbol is
a club!
Yes, yes.
-It's club. -Club.
-Yes, club. Club, it is. -Yes.
It's a club.
Thank you very much.
Please give your answer.
Spade.
MEISA TOKUI
-You're a spade. -Spade. Spade.
Thank you so much.
Do mine next, please.
-It's a club. -Oh yeah.
-Yes, it's a club. -Club. Club.
-Mm-hmm. -What do you think she…
Your symbol is
a heart!
-Heart, yes. -Mm-hm.
-Yes. Heart. -Heart it is, yes.
Will you do mine now?
You're a spade.
-Yes. -Spade. Spade.
-Yes, spade. -Thank you.
Um,
excuse me.
Excuse me.
Would you mind
telling me what my symbol is, please?
I don't think my group is being honest.
Okay.
Thank you very much.
Here.
It's a club.
Club?
Club!
Thank you very much. Thank you very much!
Club.
Can't be too careful, right?
Please give your answer.
Club.
SHINOBU FURUTA
Round six begins now.
Why are they all tricking each other?
Wow, are you really surprised?
Nobody wants to be the next to die.
Round nine begins now.
I can't…
I can't take it.
I'm gonna throw up.
Keep it together!
You're a club.
Okay, you tell me mine.
Uh, diam--
Uh…
Dia…
You're a heart.
Heart.
-It's a heart. -Heart.
Let's eliminate him now.
-Huh? -Huh?
He was thinking about tricking me.
It seems he has a problem with how I work.
But…
If we don't get rid of him right away, we'll all be in danger.
Round nine is almost over.
I think we should eliminate her, now.
We're all in danger because of her.
We can't keep letting that psycho
do whatever she wants to us.
-This, uh… This is for you. -Oh.
Um, here's something to drink.
What else did you bring me?
And some crackers too.
Oh, you have no taste.
I have cookies. Would you like a cookie?
I hate cookies.
I think we should kill them both.
I hate chocolate.
What do you say?
What else would you like?
You're a spade.
Diamond.
It's spade.
Diamond.
Thanks, guys.
You're the only people I can trust now!
Please give your answer.
Diamond.
Spade!
URUMI AKAMAKI
MOTOHIKO KANEKO
Spade.
Club.
They all fell for the Jack of Hearts' trap.
Once team members start killing each other, the trust is broken,
and the group is destroyed.
Well, I don't think that we have that problem.
Right.
You don't need to worry about that.
Not while I'm protecting you.
Thank you, master.
I don't think I can keep playing this game.
Diamond.
How much longer, man?
It's so messed up.
I thought that…
people were much better than this.
Man, you led a charmed life.
I'm sorry.
But this is our reality now.
Maybe we won't get out of this alive.
But even so, all we can do for now is help each other
so that we can get out of this game.
Okay?
We can do this.
Okay.
What's my symbol?
Heart.
I can't do it.
I can't.
I can't do this.
Please give your answer.
I won't do this.
IPPEI OKI
You were too kind for this world, Ippei.
Well, that's settled.
Seems I've lost my partner.
Looks like I'm screwed.
