[bunniefuu]

[ominous tone plays]

[328] Just go with the umbrella,

and then we're all in.

[454] I'm not going there.

I was line number one.

I was supposed to have first choice.

I'm not moving. His hand was on with you.

[Lorenzo] Yeah! He did! You're dying

- Go, go!

- Stand your ground, Kevin.

- [man 378] Four, three, two, one.

- Guys, I'm not moving.

[counter beeps]

[woman 328] Oh, wow.

[automated voice] Players,

your two minutes are now over.

You've failed to come

to a unanimous decision

and have broken the rules of the game.

[musical swell plays and intensifies]

[ink packs go off]

[players] No!

[players chatter, laugh, and exclaim]

That's eight people eliminated.

[counter chimes]

Christ, we're gonna lose a lot of people.

[automated voice] Attention, players.

Will the next four players

at the front of each line

please step forward?

[Bryton] All right.

So, hey, come here, come here.

How mad would y'all be

if it came down to somebody

having to pick umbrella,

and I went and got umbrella?

- [man 1] I would be pissed. Don't do it.

- That's fine. Then I won't do it.

- [man 2] I would not be mad.

- You wouldn't be mad?

[man 2] Somebody else

will cr*ck before you.

[automated voice] Attention, players.

The player at the front of each line

should now follow the staff

into the game hall.

That's players 452,

432,

344,

and 299,

to follow the staff into the game hall.

Next up for four is Spencer.

[417] You can't take that umbrella.

- [woman] Take a deep breath. Focus.

- You've got this. You're strong.

He's not the best talker.

Let's go, Spencer!

[ominous music plays]

[woman] Guys, you know,

don't overwhelm him.

[man 1] Yeah, let's give him some space.

[man 107] Listen, bro. Don't move, man.

Take what we are. Our door is "circle."

You stay there.

That is gonna be the best solution.

It should go in order.

It should just be one, two, three, four.

This is based off of luck.

This is based off of what you thought.

He'll He'll move. You've just got to

It's who has

the biggest bottle at this point.

You gotta know that I'm not gonna

give y'all umbrella. It's okay.

Stand your ground with four.

[intense musical swell plays]

[sobs]

Hey. Please stop crying, bro.

Jesus Christ.

You're gonna stand there

and endure it, bro.

He'll give you a hard time, but stand

there and endure it. He will give in.

He will give in.

You don't give in.

You've got it. You've got it, dude.

You've got it.

Breathe. Breathe.

[musical swell plays]

[ominous tone plays]

[Spencer] I I was a mama's boy,

for sure. [laughs]

I remember I used to

wet the bed a lot.

I used to cry when I was taken

away from my mom.

I don't know, um

I was very introverted,

and then, as I got older,

it took a long time before I started

um, getting out of my shell

and talking to people.

Um

I am extremely gullible. It is a problem.

If someone says something to me,

I'm gonna, like, believe it immediately.

I I have a a bunch

of extremely sarcastic siblings,

and I understand it some of the time,

but most of the time,

it goes right over my head,

and I think they're just saying things

[chuckles]truthfully.

Yeah, I think I'm empathetic.

I think to a fault sometimes.

[theme music plays]

[tense rhythmic music plays]

[players applaud and cheer]

[man] You all right?

Let's go, 299.

Be honorable.

[musical swell plays and intensifies]

[clock beeps and ticks]

Listen, listen. Okay.

Are you ready to go home?

Are you ready to go home?

- What you wanna say?

- Answer my question.

- Are you ready, yes or no?

- Say what you wanna say.

Are you ready to go home?

It just needs to be one, two, three, four.

If you're ready

- That's what you want to say?

- Bro, man up. Just man up.

Let's not get sh*t, bro.

Let's not get sh*t.

- Yeah, come on, T-man.

- [456] Man up.

- Man up, let's go!

- Man up.

Take the umbrella.

Bro, let's not get sh*t.

Listen to me real quick. I want you guys

to shut up and listen to me for a second.

[344] Go ahead, bro.

We got a minute and a half left.

I'll pick a frickin' door

if you listen to me!

[Bryton] Just some respect, bro, chill.

- Okay. Relax, we got it.

- You're asking me to respect you.

- And you're not listening to me.

- [344] Come on, bro. Go ahead.

People wanna get out of here

and we got stuff to do.

I'm here to help people.

If I finish my cookie, I'm willing to help

someone else if they allow me.

I'll pick this frickin' umbrella

if you guys promise me

And I know you all see me.

This sounds so sexual.

Everyone's frigging said it to me.

But spit on someone else's cookie, please.

[344 laughs]

- Lick it.

- I'll spit on your cookie, bro.

I'mma spit right on your cookie.

- What? What?

- [344] Come on, we've got

I wanna help the other people.

Bro, you don't know

what's behind the door.

If I'm able to do mine,

I will come help you.

- [452] We're all in this.

- Let's go. Let's go.

[ticking]

[tense music plays]

You got 30 seconds to think

and breathe. It's okay, it's okay.

I'll come help you if I finish,

how about that?

Shake my hand, shake my hand.

- Ah, he's breaking, man. He's breaking.

- Oh, God, oh God.

If I finish, I'll come help you. Okay?

Are we trusting the villain right now?

Are we serious?

Is this real life? Is this real life?

- I know you all hear me.

- Come on, bro.

- Please, please. Hand on the wall.

- Ten seconds.

Go to the door, dude. Go to the door!

We're all trying to make it out of here.

Oh my God.

We did it, we did it, we did it.

[woman 411] Oh my God.

Sick of this sh*t, man. He bullied him.

He shook his hand. He's a villain.

You never shake hands with a villain!

[woman] Exactly.

- It's going to be okay.

[man] It's just an umbrella. We got this.

- You got this.

It's still It's still beatable,

bro, you know?

Sweeter victory if we win,

I'm telling you now.

[Spencer sobs]

[automated voice] Attention, players.

Dalgona will begin shortly.

You and your entire line will play

with the shape you have chosen.

Each shape will play independently.

Players will not be permitted

to assist other players.

[Spencer] I was kind of an idiot,

uh, for not expecting this.

I thought

[inhales sharply]

that we could help each other. Um

I don't know.

But it's a competition.

I should've thought about that sooner.

[man] So, bro, come on.

We got this. We got this, I know.

- [107] I knew there was a twist.

- [woman] A twist.

This is emotional!

[stomach rumbles, swallows]

[Bryton, softly] Oh God, no.

Please don't, please don't, please don't.

- [stomach rumbles]

- Jesus Christ, please don't. Oh God.

[Spencer inhales sharply]

[Spencer grunts weakly]

[chokes softly]

[Bryton, softly] Oh. If he throws up

[Spencer] I grew up extremely religious

as a member of the Church

of Jesus Christ of Latter-day Saints.

And I still go to church every week, but

I'm not sure what I think anymore.

[laughs]

And it's a weird thing to say to people,

but I think questions

are a really important thing in life,

and it's fine

to not have answers immediately.

I've just had questions for a long time,

and I'm not sure I've been getting

the answers that I wanted.

is making me extraordinarily happy.

Every moment I'm spending time

with my mom in here,

I'm like, "I wanna spend

more time with her."

[Bryton] We've still gotta do it.

We've still gotta do it.

[Bryton] I know I did the right thing.

Somebody had to do it.

Somebody had to put their foot down.

God chose me.

And I mean, I just went with it.

[Bryton] I think

we just have to go for it. Like

- [man 359] Lick, spit, and just cut?

- Lick, spit, lick, spit.

We do have the easiest one,

but it's still a challenge.

- It's still a challenge, bro.

- Not everybody's gonna pass.

- Ah, it does.

[needle scraping]

[Bryton] As an athlete,

I know I'm a competitor.

I'm mentally strong.

Somebody who prepares their mind

for anything to come their way.

But this game is the one

that I'm the most terrified of.

[ticking continues]

It's the one

that you need the most precision,

you need the most patience,

and I'm not really good at that.

My hands are big. My hands are heavy.

Any slight movement and you're done.

At the end of the day,

only the strong survive,

I'm the only person

that truly has my back.

- [cheering and applauding]

- [man] Hey!

[man 286] My boy! What's up?

[man] Oh my God.

- [Trey] Nice work, man.

- Let's go, let's go.

[woman] 432, good game, man.

I saw you. Good negotiating.

- You're welcome, you're welcome.

- Thank you.

- [286] Great speech too. Great speech.

- [Bryton] Great speech?

I think that he's gonna

get eliminated soon.

- 432?

- Yeah.

Thank you for picking for us, dude.

[434] Bro, I was a circle,

but that was a big d*ck move.

I like how you played that.

[woman] People do not like him in here.

I almost wanna, like, seep

into the background here more,

for the long game 'cause I'm not trying

to be the loudest person here.

432's the loudest person here.

You ain't gonna be louder than him.

- Congratulations, man.

- You too, you too.

Live to fight another day.

Live to fight another day.

[woman 179] 432 has been very loud,

outspoken, arrogant.

Just rubbing people, like, the wrong way.

We're all here for a reason.

We're here to win a prize.

But that can also be won with humility.

Okay, so there's actually less people

in here than I thought.

A lot less. This is circle and triangle.

- Circle and triangle, yeah.

- Now they have star.

I think it goes down to 90.

[doors clang and whir]

[tense music playing]

[Dani] I'mma see all of y'all

in the dorm tonight.

[softly] Good luck.

You got this. You're good.

[Dani] I do have insecurities.

I I am scared about people trusting me.

I'm scared about

the way people perceive me.

Like, if they like me,

if they think I'm funny,

or they think I'm charming,

things like that.

I'm insecure about how

I don't have, like, a boyfriend,

a serious relationship at the age of 23.

All my friends are getting married

or are pregnant and having kids.

I'm insecure, like,

why does no one like me?

Part of this experience

is proving to myself

that I'm capable of doing something crazy.

But to, like, like yourself

and love yourself

and, like, the flaws, and

I think that that's really difficult,

to process that I don't

really like or love myself

at the point that I'm at right now.

[sinister music plays]

The three people I wanted out,

all three of them

came back from their shapes.

- It was

- Who did you want out?

Uh, Adrian.

I thought I was never gonna see

your faces again.

- I know.

- I was getting so upset.

Theo and Bryton.

Give me a hug.

Dude.

- [man 107] I can't lie.

- Good job, my boy.

I think some of these power players

need to be taken out.

107, not only finishing the umbrella,

like, oh my God, what a warrior,

he also finished first

in Red Light, Green Light.

You gotta eliminate the guy

that's winning all the challenges.

But top of the list, 432.

If I ever get a chance

to eliminate a player,

I will eliminate 432.

- [Bryton] Bruh.

- NFL. F NFL.

[Bryton] I'm not in the NFL!

- [man 198] You little frat boy.

- Come here.

Let me tell you something.

Nah, don't run away.

Nah, don't run now,

your little skinny ass.

- [man 198] You gonna

- I will snap your ass over my knee.

- Do it.

- If I come down there, will you run?

- [man 198] No, no.

- Okay.

- Come on, let's go.

- Where are we going?

- Don't run now.

- No, where are we going?

Look, let me tell you something.

Come here. I'm not touching you.

Don't touch me, I'm not touching you.

If you call me a frat boy again

I won't put my hands on you

'cause I won't.

[man 198] Right.

But when we get off this bitch,

I might. Okay?

- All right, frat boy.

- Cool.

- Hey, uh [scoffs]

- All right.

432 is like, um, one of them lads

who thinks he's still in high school

and, like, thinks it's cool

to talk sh*t to everyone.

Um, I don't think anyone

is actually scared of him.

They just all don't like him.

I don't think he realizes that.

God, I hate him.

But if I get the chance,

I'll just eliminate him.

[woman 1] Here, I'll pass

the washing liquid over here.

[woman 2] Oh my God.

There's hair all over this floor.

- That's gnarly.

- I know.

Ugh. I thought

they were cleaner than this. Honestly.

I think they're gonna make

an announcement.

- Oh. Oh, damn. It's so dry.

- [woman] See what I'm saying?

They trying to k*ll me,

trying to take me out the game.

It's so dry, bro.

[automated voice] Attention, players.

Told you.

[tense music plays]

Here are the results of the second game.

[players exclaim and applaud]

[man 1] Yes.

- [woman] Whoo!

- [man 2] Yeah.

Oh, snap.

Get out here, get out here!

[Stephen] We gotta get up for this.

[man 136] Now this I wanna see.

Here we go, here we go, here we go.

["The Marriage of Figaro" by Mozart plays]

Oh!

- Keep going.

- Keep moving, keep moving.

[man] Oh my God!

[man 396] Oh! Nailed it!

Wow.

$3.3 million.

Oh, man.

[automated voice] Out of 188 players,

69 have been eliminated.

That's a lot.

[cheering and applauding]

- I'm not clapping for that.

- Yeah, those are our friends.

[Leann] Yeah. I'm not clapping.

[button beeps]

[ominous music plays]

Yes.

Oh, it's big piggy.

[bank chiming digitally]

- [Stephen] Yeah, buddy.

- [man 336] Whoo!

[automated voice] The prize money

accumulated so far is $3.37 million.

Oh my God. [chuckles]

We deserve this.

That's it.

[man 336] And somebody here

is gonna win that. Isn't that nuts?

It's pretty cool, man.

[Stephen] I wanna get that money,

but I know I need to go make some friends

because, after Dalgona,

I've lost half of my alliance.

My boy 101 Kyle was in the fourth line,

my fellow mullet boy,

and he never showed back up.

I don't know about you guys.

I feel a little bit sad. All my guys gone.

My best friend Chase was here with me

in Red Light, Green Light.

They zapped him

almost first things first, eliminated.

I think it's very important

to have an alliance

just in case

we're able to pick our own teams,

especially if it comes to the tug-of-w*r.

But it looks like this

is the new crew right here.

Yeah. Right here.

[Stephen] It's the new little alliance.

Got some brains, little bit of strength.

- Little old man strength.

- [Stephen] We got the wisdom.

We need to come up with a team name.

Gganbu.

- Gganbu, yeah. Gganbu g*ng.

- Gganbu?

- That means "best friends" in Korea.

- Best friends, yeah. Gganbu.

Gganbu g*ng?

- Yeah, gganbu g*ng.

- [Stephen] I like it.

[Rick] I like to have strategy

and and and a game plan.

Um, you know, I found the allies,

the gganbu g*ng,

that can help me win this.

And, uh, I think we're a very strong g*ng.

And, uh And if if we lose,

whatever the game is,

I'm losing with friends,

and I can handle that very easily.

Hey, knucks it in the middle.

[all] Gganbu g*ng.

- Gganbu g*ng, whoo!

- I like it. That's pretty freakin' cool.

What shapes did you have?

I had the easy. Circle.

- I feel bad. [laughs]

- Don't. Was you in I had the circle!

I had an umbrella. [laughs]

You need that, like, tattooed

on you or something.

- I'm gonna tattoo a circle, are you?

- Yeah.

[Leann] I am in this game

more as a personal challenge.

[gentle music plays]

I wanna do it to prove I still have

the thing that's inside me

that I haven't seen for a long time.

I want the opportunity

to show you can keep trying new things

and doing new things.

And I wanted to prove it to myself.

So thought this is

a good chance to do that, I think.

I don't know what to expect,

but I think this is a good chance

to meet people from all over the world.

And I hope I make friends that I'll have.

So I'm excited about it.

I'm really not scared.

I'm I'm just excited about it.

I don't think the men

generally realize what women have.

- It's discounted, you know?

- [367] But maybe that's for the best.

I love just being able

to have people think I'm the underdog.

But, that aside,

do you think it's key

to get to know, shall we say

- For the purpose of teamwork?

- some of the big, strong ones?

These are the strategies

that we need to be drawing on

when we look at tug-of-w*r

'cause that's next.

[Leann] Right.

[beeps]

[ominous music plays]

- [man 1] Oh, wait.

- [man 2] Oh. Oh!

[man 1] Yo.

[man 3] Something going on.

There's something going on.

- Here we go.

- [man 4] Who's picking up the phone?

Don't touch it. Don't touch it.

Don't touch it. Don't touch it!

Don't touch it! [laughs]

It's got to be something like a test.

I'm just hanging, kind of just watching.

'Cause I don't wanna be involved

in anything.

I don't want people to know who I am.

If this pho

this whole phone thing is a test,

why would they choose me for elimination,

when they don't know I exist?

- [man 1] Maybe we can call someone?

- Pick it up. Somebody pick it up.

- [man 2] I'll pick it up.

- L-Let it ring first. Let it ring.

- Oh. Oh!

- [players exclaim]

Leave it.

This sh*t ain't gonna be

It's not gonna be f

[woman 1] Shh!

[woman 278] Just pick it up.

[musical swell plays and intensifies]

There's nothing. There's nothing.

They look like a bunch of monkeys

that don't know what the hell it is.

God damn it.

I just think I need to get

to that phone first, before anyone else.

Who do you reckon Okay.

If you had the option to eliminate,

who's your number one?

- 432, I think.

- Yeah, that'd be it.

- Are you okay?

- [Bryton] No.

- You didn't eat, did you?

- Mm-mmm.

- I'm just trying to conserve my energy.

- I know.

432 is out there. He's brash.

And I'm not here to be everyone's mom,

but I just wanted to talk to him

to see if he reall

if that really was who he was.

The people that don't like me in here

have no sense of humor.

- Or they interpret you differently.

- Differently, yeah.

They interpret you as abrasive, and like

- You know?

- Yeah, and it that's just not it at all.

- Like Yeah.

- Well, you talk, you don't think.

It's just purely intrinsic, like

- Yeah, it's because

- "I'm out there immediately."

And it can be interpreted

as abrasive, you know?

But you have to realize if people think

that I'm not gonna be myself

for a split second

- Is it totally yourself?

- One thousand percent.

See? That's Then that's what you are.

He isn't, like, putting on a face.

He It's who he is.

My only thought, um, with 432 is, like,

if we are ever going to play tug-of-w*r,

he has the strength

to make up having me on his team.

- Someone said you played in college?

- Yes, ma'am.

- What'd you play?

- Football.

- Where?

- Clemson.

The Tigers.

- Yeah.

- And did did you graduate?

No, ma'am. I drop

I dropped out to come here.

I have one semester left.

So, why'd you come? Why'd you come here?

I like challenges,

so I can talk about it later in life.

Like, I was raised,

and I had to learn everything on my own.

Like, yeah, my mom worried,

and she stressed.

Your dad wasn't around?

No, it was just me and my mom.

- Aw.

- Just She was my best friend, but

- It is what it is.

- Well, you're a good son.

- I try.

- You're not abrasive.

I know I'm not.

- But 120 people think I am.

- [laughs]

- Well, 119.

- No, there's fewer than that.

[Bryton] From the moment

that I was put on this Earth,

it was just me and my mom.

So there was no trust from, like, uh,

a father standpoint,

or there was no trust from,

um,

I don't know.

I wasn't really born into trust.

I wasn't

The only person I could trust was my mom.

And at times,

I couldn't even trust my mom because

How much can

My mom had me when she was 21,

so how much can a 20-year-old white woman

teach a young Black kid?

Like, there's only so much

that she could do,

so I trusted her with everything.

You know, don't get it wrong.

I I love her to death.

That That is, like, my best friend

on this planet.

But you gotta understand

that from the moment

I was put on this Earth,

there was

There wasn't really anybody

for me to trust.

There wasn't really anybody

for me to just, like

Nobody understood who I was,

and I still

don't think anybody really does.

[musical swell plays and intensifies]

[Husnain] Imagine if it just rang now.

[man] We're gonna do a three-part breath

that basically goes like this.

So you're gonna open your mouth

wider than is comfortable.

You're gonna breathe into the belly first.

A breath like [gasps]

[inhales sharply]

Then blow it out. [breathes forcefully]

So it's gonna be work, all right?

[man 330] The last couple of days

have been crazy.

Little sleep, bunch of stress,

and so many people are up in their heads.

As a performance and longevity doctor,

I know that when we are

in our stress state,

it takes us out of who we really are.

So I really learned

to actually calm people down,

and put them in the thrive state,

who they authentically are.

I'm all for bringing people

back to the present.

Be in this moment

right now.

A cheerleader,

whenever they jump in the air,

they spread their legs in air,

and they touch their toes.

[Dr. V] All right, let's

- You got it, bro.

- Beautiful.

[Dr. V] Predictions for for the day?

I predict they're gonna call

and ask for a number to answer the phone,

and that number will be eliminated.

[Bryton] So it's like [grunts]

[tense music plays and intensifies]

- [rings]

- [Bryton] Oh, the phone's ringing.

[woman] Phone's ringing.

He can answer it all he wants.

[continues ringing]

I wanna answer this phone

in hope that I get to eliminate someone.

I wanna eliminate 432.

What's the worst that can happen?

Hello?

[player shushing]

[Bryton] I feel like he answered it

a little too fast.

[Husnain] Hello?

Hey, hey, he's been standing

by the phone this whole time.

- [automated voice] Player.

- Yeah.

Do not hang up this call

until you are told to do so.

[Bryton] He's been standing by the phone

this whole time, waiting for it to ring.

[automated voice] As a result

of answering this call

Because I've answered this call

[players shushing]

Please let me eliminate someone.

He's getting cocky.

I wanna eliminate him right now. 432.

you will be given

the opportunity to enjoy a treat.

[buzzer plays on speaker]

Here we go.

[woman] Oh, boy.

[door whirring]

- [players exclaim]

- Oh! What?

- [man 1] Oh, dude, is that a cheeseburger?

- No way.

Is that actual food?

Oh, damn!

- [players exclaiming]

- [woman 1] Oh! Oh my God!

It's a burger and fries.

[man 2] Yo, yo, yo, yo, yo!

Move back y'all, move back!

Oh my God, it smells so good.

[man 3] No!

- [man 002] Oh my God, what? You're joking.

- [man 4] Take it! Take it!

- [players yell]

- [man 5] No way. No way! No!

[man 6] It's every man for himself, bro.

[woman 2] Can I have a fry?

Scavengers, man.

[man 7] Whoa, whoa!

- Oh my God.

- No way. That girl got a full burger.

- [woman 3] She ran away with it.

- [woman 4] Come on.

I took that big, fat, juicy burger,

and I was feeling great.

Top ten meal I've ever had in my life.

That's the best burger ever.

[ominous music plays]

[man 176] Wow, guys. Wow.

Okay, how about we split this?

Wait, wait, wait, this was my treat.

[man 10] Can I have

these two French fries?

Scavengers.

When I was looking at that food,

I was, like, disappointed.

Like, I know it was food,

and it was, like, nice.

But I wanted to eliminate 432.

Ew! Bro, y'all are actually

low-key kind of disgusting.

Like, this is actually disgusting.

Like, how stupid can y'all actually be?

I wasn't even arsed about the food.

I wanted to eliminate someone.

Who? I guess whoever took the burger.

No, 432. He said

that he was gonna snap me in half.

- [woman 355] That was you?

- Yeah.

- I don't wanna touch that phone.

- I'm not answering a random phone.

What if I answer the phone,

and they're like, "Okay."

"We have a deep-dish pizza

back here just for you

if you eliminate one person"?

- Yep, pizza.

- I wouldn't blame you.

I don't think I could do it

because I'm not an assh*le.

[man] What you do is you go back there,

eat the pizza,

but don't tell anybody you got pizza.

That would be the most selfish move.

[tense ethereal music plays]

[Husnain] Something's gonna happen,

and I'm gonna answer.

[Lorenzo] I'm Maybe I'm gonna pick up

the phone next.

- [254] No, don't do that.

- I feel like it's gonna be bad next time.

They're baiting you

to pick up the phone now.

Mmm.

You want You want a Happy Meal

or do you want four million quid?

Oh my God. Right now?

[chuckles] I'm not sure.

[women laugh]

- Them chicken nuggets? Oh my God!

- [man 254] Oh, leave him alone!

[Husnain] Ring the phone now.

[keyboard clacking]

[beeps]

[phone rings]

[man 1] Oh, there it goes.

- [woman] The phone's ringing.

- [man 2] Who's getting it?

[Husnain] Shall I answer?

Shall I answer it?

I'm gonna answer it. I'm gonna answer it.

Do you wanna answer it?

- [phone continues ringing]

- [players] No!

Please, not him. Not him again.

Oh my God.

Hello?

[automated voice] Player, do not hang up

this call until you are told to do so.

I'm just genuinely surprised

that he's picked it up twice.

If he gets another hamburger,

I'm gonna be mad.

[automated voice] Player 198.

Yes, sir.

[automated voice] As a result

of answering this call,

you are now at risk of being eliminated.

[dramatic musical flourish plays]

sh*t.

[suspenseful music plays]

[automated voice] You must convince

another player to pick up this call.

[355] Curiosity. [chuckles]

[automated voice] When another player

accepts the phone,

they will be at risk of elimination.

Ah.

- What's going on?

- I, like, wanna walk away now.

We're, like, "Bye."

They all walked away.

[automated voice] The time limit

is two minutes.

If you fail to convince

another player to take the phone,

you will be eliminated.

He's definitely looking over here.

At us?

[bold music playing]

I think I'm gonna try to go up here.

[automated voice] Player 198,

do you understand?

Yes.

Your time starts now.

[bold music intensifying]

[dramatic musical flourish plays]

[ominous closing theme music plays]
