01x05 - Trick or Treat

[bunniefuu]

[suspenseful music plays]

[automated voice] Your box

will contain either the power

to eliminate other players,

an advantage in the next game,

or it will result

in your immediate elimination.

[players gasp and exclaim]

Come on, come on, come on.

[Phalisia sighs] No.

- We got this.

- [softly] All right.

- Look at Jesse becoming a leader.

- Mm-hmm.

In front of our eyes.

Come on, come on. We got you.

[ominous tone plays]

[automated voice] Player 183,

you may now open your box.

[tense music plays]

[box plays "Pop Goes The Weasel"]

Slowly.

Slowly.

Oh my God.

[players gasp]

- What is it?

- [sighs]

[automated voice] Player 183

[musical swell plays and intensifies]

you must pick two players to eliminate.

- [players exclaim]

- [Chaney winces] Yeah!

[creepy choral music plays]

[ominous tone plays]

I already know who Jesse's going for.

The first player I choose to eliminate

is the only person I have not spoken to

in this whole dorm.

Makes the decision pretty easy for me.

The first player

is player 026.

[ominous music plays]

[players gasp]

Amber.

[automated voice] Player 026,

you have been eliminated.

[Jada] Like, this is crazy.

My heart is racing to the top of my chest

'cause everyone is at risk right now.

The second player I choose to eliminate

is a player who has been stirring up

some misinformation around the dorm,

and spreading lies

and tearing people apart.

And I will take no part

in having this in this dorm.

[dramatic music plays]

The second player

[music intensifies]

Nothing I have said is a lie.

There is a four-person alliance.

183, 182, 179, 176.

[automated voice] Player 141,

you have been eliminated.

Mmm! [kisses]

[tense ethereal music plays]

[sighs]

[sniffs]

I love you so much.

[Phalisia] Oh God.

[sighs]

[automated voice] Player 375,

you may now open your box.

Oh, Lord have mercy.

Good luck.

[box plays "Pop Goes The Weasel"]

[automated voice] Player 375,

you have been eliminated.

[players exclaim and gasp]

[woman] Oh, no!

[sparse, anxious music plays]

That sucks.

[Phalisia sighs]

[automated voice] Player 087,

you may now open your box.

[dramatic ringing tone plays]

[man 1] Why did he do this?

[man 2] I really don't know.

I have no idea.

[man 254] My group,

my alliance, The Corner,

the plan is to stay off the radar.

I mean, did I miss the memo?

[breathes deeply]

[box plays "Pop Goes The Weasel"]

[automated voice] Player 087,

you must pick one player to eliminate.

[dramatic music plays]

[087] I have my alliance, and I know

that this person is in an alliance.

I think they are a big player

and a big thr*at to my team,

so I'm I'm just ready to get this done.

Uh, I'm gonna be eliminating

player number 176.

[ominous music plays]

Oh! Man.

It's okay, baby. It's okay, baby.

Man.

- I didn't see that coming.

- Me either.

[Jesse] Not cool.

I was worried for you, man.

I was worried for you.

[automated voice] Player 130

you may now open your box.

[sighs] Oh my God.

[Chaney and Phalisia exhale forcefully]

[box plays "Pop Goes The Weasel"]

[ominous tone plays]

[sighs]

[automated voice] Player 130

[Phalisia sighs heavily]

you have received

an advantage in the next game.

[woman] Oh, yes.

- [344] Advantage is nice.

- [Brad] Good one.

[Phalisia sighs]

[130] I'm feeling good.

I mean, getting the advantage

obviously is the best box you can have.

I am on cloud nine right now.

Good guess, brother.

[laughs]

[softly] I was nervous as hell, bro.

Had me nervous as hell.

[gentle music plays]

[Brad] Ah, man.

I know she's going through it.

That's stressful as hell.

[breath trembles, sobs]

[sniffles]

[breath trembling]

[278] She's making me cry

because it's just, like,

"You didn't have to volunteer

your ass to go up there."

Like, "You could possibly

be getting eliminated right now."

And then I'm in here

what feels like by myself.

[sniffles]

[automated voice] Player 229,

you may now open your box.

[Phalisia] Come on, baby.

[box plays "Pop Goes The Weasel"]

[tense droning music plays]

["Pop Goes The Weasel" continues]

[Phalisia breathes heavily]

- [sighs heavily]

- ["Pop Goes The Weasel" continues]

["Pop Goes The Weasel" continues and ends]

[sighs]

[Phalisia gasps]

Oh my God.

[suspenseful music plays]

[automated voice] Player 229

[sobs]

you must now pick

three players to eliminate.

[ominous tone plays]

- [278 sighs]

- [Phalisia sighs]

[exhales nervously]

[Brad] Damn, man.

This is crazy.

[Phalisia exhales heavily,

breath trembles]

[Phalisia] This is not

play nicey-nicey anymore.

I'm here for my daughter.

[whispers] This sh*t

getting cutthroat now.

[Phalisia] She's a brave little soul,

and I know she's a part of me.

I know I'm that person too.

And she would say, "Mommy, you got this."

[whispers] You are strong.

Keep your head up.

[Phalisia] So the decisions I make

Okay.

[Phalisia]are for her.

[sighs]

[Phalisia] The first player

has an advantage in the game.

[344] Ooh!

[pulsing electronic music plays]

- Wouldn't even make sense.

- I know.

[bold music plays]

Damn!

What the [mouthing]

- But he had the advantage.

- Yeah, that's why she's eliminating him.

That don't even make sense.

- [door clangs shut]

- [sighs]

That's the game, baby.

[sighs]

[Phalisia] I think the players

have underestimated me.

This is frigging wild.

[Phalisia] But I think now is the time

to start showing I can be

the winner of Squid Game.

[choral theme music plays]

[tense ethereal music plays]

These players have an alliance.

[sighs heavily]

301 or 302. You gotta break 'em up.

They're mother-son,

you have to break them up

because it's not fair.

[Phalisia sighs]

I'm sorry. I'm so sorry.

[suspenseful music plays and intensifies]

[dramatic musical flourish plays]

Who's 243?

[man 1 softly] Damn.

[tense ethereal music plays]

[gasps]

[man 1] Oh, bro. That's a power move.

This is terrible.

[Leann] Sorry, Steve.

- That's ridiculous.

- [016] Gonna miss you, bro.

[Stephen] This freakin' sucks.

I didn't even know

she for real knew who I was.

I thought I was doing a good job

staying out of the spotlight.

I'm floored.

My heart is in my shoe right now.

I don't know. This just sucks.

[exhales forcefully]

[somber droning music plays]

[clears throat]

[door clangs shut]

[sighs heavily]

[musical swell plays and intensifies]

[ominous tone plays]

[man 269 gasps]

No. No.

[sighs]

Not good, man.

[melancholic music plays]

- Why? Rick, why?

- [softly] I don't know. I don't know.

- [man 1] So sorry, Dr. Rick.

- [269] Rick, we love you.

- [Leann] We'll see you soon.

- [man 2] I'll see you.

Yeah, I'm good. I'm good, I'm good.

[Rick] Being eliminated this way

is is extremely disappointing.

It felt so good to be part of a g*ng.

My g*ng. The gganbu g*ng.

I really felt like I'm protected,

but, um, I guess not.

[door clangs shut]

Very sad.

[Phalisia groans]

[anxious musical swell plays]

[automated voice] Players,

the test is now over.

[somber guitar music plays]

That was a close sh*t there.

- I was nervous for you.

- [Trey] I know.

[Trey] I I thought

I was a goner for sure.

The fewer people are in the game,

the more power an unbreakable duo has,

and the bigger target

is gonna be on our back.

Bitch, you made me cry.

- I hate you.

- [Phalisia laughs weakly]

[Ashley] Oh, God.

[Brad] Yeah, she bad.

She did that like a boss, bro.

Like a boss.

[Leann] You're gonna be all right.

You're gonna be all right.

That was strategic,

that was not emotional,

and I respect you for that.

And you helped the rest of us out.

That was a boss bitch move.

Boss bitch move.

[Jada] Player 229, she really, like,

gave me another sense of motivation.

Like, wow, that is some balls.

I'm sure that was

a really hard decision to make.

- I know that was your friend.

- No, it's okay.

He was a sweet man, but I know

that was hard for you too. It's okay.

[Phalisia] I don't regret

any decisions I have made.

This has now evened the playing field.

So I don't care what kind of hate

or targets I have right now.

I think majority of people will be

thankful that I did what I did.

The gganbu g*ng

is absolutely rocked right now.

The strategy is to regroup,

pivot, redirect,

and to not panic. Definitely don't panic.

All right, so listen. Let's talk

about what the hell just happened.

- Nobody's in here, right?

- [334] Nobody's in here.

- So, we obviously lost our wisdom.

- [334] Yep, he's gone.

- [Dan] We lost Quadzilla.

- [334] Yeah.

Um, anybody have any ideas,

you think, what happened?

I think I think we're too visible.

Everybody knows

we're the strongest team, right?

- So we should be less visible as well.

- [Dan] I agree, that's smart.

- That girl made a savage, brutal move.

- [334] Yeah.

But it it was a move

that I woulda made.

Taking the kid out with the advantage

was also a great move,

but now we know that she's a player.

So my advice, we don't talk

to anybody else about anything.

It's a dumb saying, but loose lips,

dude, they're gonna sink our ship.

- I know, literally, yeah.

- Right, so Yeah.

- Listen. Quietly, quietly.

- [031] Yeah. Ggan

[all whisper] Gganbu g*ng.

Yeah.

- That's good, that's good. That's good.

- Yeah.

- [Dan] Come on. After you.

- [334] Thank you.

Live to see another day.

- That was

- Ten percent of people gone.

Phalisia kept looking at me.

I thought we were toast there

for a second.

[Leann] And gameplay

to take the one with the advantage.

I mean, that was so smart.

[dramatic musical flourish plays]

[players chatter and exclaim]

[flickering sounds play]

[man] Ooh! Oh my God.

[chiming digitally]

No more clapping.

[tense music plays]

Show me the money.

I don't even wanna look at it.

This game has been testing people

left and right,

but this is what it is now.

This is a harsh reality.

This ain't meant to be fun.

This could be our last day. We don't know.

When you start to feel safe,

this game bites you in your ass.

Look at that damn piggy bank.

Look at the piggy!

"Do you hear me?"

- She's getting squeaky.

- Yeah, it's getting squeaky.

The key thing here is to just to make

as much connections as you can

because if something happens like that,

you don't wanna be the one

that they're putting out.

But I don't have "an alliance."

I can confide in you, and I can trust you,

and I got these conversations,

but we're not the type

to be, like, "Oh, it's an alliance."

Because as soon as people hear that,

they feel threatened.

Winning would completely change

my life, 360.

Um, one of the biggest things

I plan on doing

if or when I win the money,

um, I would actually donate

a portion of it

to a kidney donor assistance center

because I actually donated my kidney

to my brother this time last year, so

Yeah, my little kidney

is pumping through his body now.

So thank God, you know.

So, um, yeah, he is doing good.

Definitely seeing, like,

his health increasing,

um, and getting better,

I think, is so beautiful.

Happy for him. [chuckles]

I would never say

this sh*t to his face though.

Like, me and my brothers don't have

that relationship at all. [laughs]

[278] I know that was hard,

but I'd rather you open that box

than that elimination box.

I was like, "Damn,

what I'mma do if my bitch leave?"

I was cursing you the hell out.

[laughs]

[Phalisia] I know. I saw you crying.

I was crying. You made me cry, stupid ho.

[Phalisia] You thought I was going home.

I was, like, "She thinks she going home.

I think she going home."

[Phalisia] It was so many emotions.

It I was so nervous.

I didn't wanna be up there by myself.

I know. But you made

some great decisions, girl.

I was like, "Oh, that's my girl!"

I've never been

so mentally taxed in my life.

- Except for labor.

- [both laugh]

[musical swell plays]

You know, I was a straight-A student,

like, coming up,

especially in high school. Like, I was

I was bad as sh*t

in high school, you know?

I I used to fight in school, you know,

talk back to teachers,

but I always kept good grades.

And so, you know,

the teachers and the counselors,

they would take me under their wings

because they saw,

like, so much potential in me.

Like, I ended up going to Smith College.

I'm on the campus for the first time.

It's so white.

Like, it's like a culture shock for me.

You know, I'm coming from Atlanta.

Atlanta is the Black mecca of the US,

and so it was a culture shock.

But, like, I

My heart immediately was like,

"Girl, this is your school."

Like, it was so small and so beautiful.

Like, the people were love, you know,

the professors were love.

And I was like, "Oh, yeah,

this is where I belong."

Being a Smithy

definitely, like, helped shape me,

and the women that I met on campus,

you know, they've made me stronger.

You know

You know, I think, you know, all that sh*t

prepared me for this competition. Ooh!

[ethereal music plays]

[musical swell plays]

[404] We're good.

Yeah, we're good.

[087] So, yeah, man. That was nuts.

[254] Man, you took

some serious b*ll*ts, like

[087] It was weird though.

I didn't feel nervous at all.

I felt calm.

- You had purpose.

- I had a purpose.

Before anything goes

any further with that,

we appreciate you, man.

- Nah, sure.

- Honestly.

Hey, The Corner, dude.

We're riding The Corner till the end, bro.

[087] Mikie's a funny dude.

We have the same sense of humor,

and he cares a lot

about the people who care about him.

He, uh, has difficulty trusting people

and letting people in,

but once you're in that inner circle,

you're you're locked in.

Okay. Hypothetically, guys,

let's be real about this.

If, just between us three,

I know it sucks to do us three

'cause there's six of us,

but I trust you two. I don't trust them.

- [voice speaks distantly]

- Someone's coming.

Yeah, no, then you just jump-sh*t it

next time you're

Yeah.

- Swish.

- Money.

[chuckles] Nothing but?

- Nothing but net.

- Net.

- [laughing] Ned.

- Net.

We call our friends group "The Corner"

because we always hang out

in the corner under the beds.

As well as the three of us,

there's 339, 065, and 077.

Good guys, good girls. Strong team.

I will eliminate them one by one

when I have to, though.

That's That's a fact.

Ned, would you hurry up, man?

- Yeah, hurry up, dude. Come on.

- [Ned] Hey, I'm sorry.

- If it stinks, we're gonna leave you.

- [both laugh]

[automated voice] Attention, players.

The lights in the dorm room

will be switched off shortly.

["Claire de Lune" by Claude Debussy plays]

Good night.

[Dan] Game is crazy, man.

This game is absolutely insane.

I know you ain't gonna sh**t for me,

and I ain't sh**ting for you.

- Not in a million years.

- So at least we know that's solid.

So if one of us goes down,

we go down fighting.

[woman] All right. Good night, Squid Game.

[bell chimes on speakers]

[automated voice] Attention, all players.

This is your wake-up call.

["Trumpet Concerto in E-flat"

by Haydn plays]

Good morning.

- Another day.

- [Trey] Yeah, another day in paradise.

[326] Yeah, another day in paradise.

There we go.

[exhales intentionally]

Ooh, that really done made me

lose my appetite.

[Phalisia] How'd you sleep, Jesse?

Good. I had this dream where my mom

Well, not my mom,

but whoever my mom was in my dream,

had, like, me and like ten people

around the house,

and we had to move around

like Red Light, Green Light.

Oh hell.

- [Leann] What's up, Roland?

- Hello.

Roland, I guess you're

you're a good person to ask about this.

But, like, um, have you heard rumblings

of anybody that is, like,

still targeting my mom after

I don't think so.

I haven't heard anything about you guys.

It's gonna get really interesting

if we keep going here, you guys.

[Roland] Yup.

And then there're only gonna be

people left that we care about.

It's gonna be awful.

[musical swell plays]

So, about six months ago,

my lung collapsed,

and, uh, I was in the hospital

for eight days.

I It was really hard breathing for four.

It was, like, chest tubes and surgery,

whole nine yards.

It was It was awful.

My My mom and my girlfriend

were with me the entire time.

Like, all eight days.

My mom flew out from Jersey.

Um, she she stayed with me

in in the hospital,

uh, with with Cecilia,

and, uh, it was it was the nicest thing

those two have have ever done for me,

and I'm forever grateful.

But, like, it it, like,

really took a physical

and emotional toll on all three of us.

Is I mean, it was it was near death.

Like, it was close.

And you know [laughs]

it's it's just like

those types of situations put things

into perspective in a really big way.

I'm enjoying my experience.

I am. That's all we can do.

So whatever they throw at us,

we don't care, man.

Whatever, bring it on, lady.

- [automated voice] Attention, players.

- Bring it on, lady.

[automated voice] Five players

are required for a chore.

- [players exclaim]

- [254] Sus. Sus!

- [man] Hell no.

- [woman 1] What?

[Phalisia] You should do it.

- Do it.

- [Ashley] I'll do it.

- [Jada] You gonna go?

- [065] Get me in there.

- [Chad] Go ahead, Mai.

- I got it.

- [Chad] You gonna do it? Are you? Good.

- [Mai] Huh? Yeah.

I can tell you, I am not doing it.

[automated voice] If they manage

to complete this chore,

there will be a treat for the dorm.

- [all exclaim]

- [Jada] I will do it!

[players cheering]

- Hold on. I wouldn't go running for that.

- [woman] I'll do it for you guys!

- Hold on now, guys.

- [Jada] I will do it, guys. Let me do it.

[automated voice] Please select

the five players

who will be taking part in the chore.

- [Ashley] Right, we got five.

- We got five.

Get your hand down, man.

- No. Hell no.

- [065] We're bringing something back.

We're bringing something back, y'all.

- You think you're okay? Certain?

- [065] Yeah.

Said nothing about what happens

if you don't do it on time.

Yeah, I know.

It might be really hard, man.

It might be a 1,000-piece puzzle.

I think we got it.

[Mikie] My first thought is as simple as,

"The treat will probably be

five people have been eliminated,

and that's everyone that went

into the chore room."

[Chad] Good luck. You got a strong squad.

Good luck back there.

I know you gonna bring it home.

[Mai] Volunteering myself,

it, uh, puts me in control.

I want to be in control

of my destiny and my fate.

- [054] Oh!

- [Mai] We're here. Oh, oranges!

[Jada] Oh, we have to juice oranges.

- [054] Oh my God. Okay.

- [Jada] I'm down.

- This is good.

- What's the time limit?

- [065] We shelling oranges today!

- [automated voice] Players

Your chore is to squeeze juice

from the oranges provided

and fill all three jars.

If you do so successfully

within 30 minutes,

you will win a treat for the dorm.

With that, you may now begin.

- Go!

- Are we cutting oranges like this?

- Yeah.

- [065] Okay. Yeah.

- Man, I wanna eat one of these!

- These oranges look so nice.

[players chattering]

So how do you feel

about what went down yesterday?

It's just

Two days of eliminations like this?

- [man] Yeah.

- I think this is the worst way to go.

It's hard 'cause it brings out

the worst in people too.

Like, I genuinely had no idea about

all this beef and all these alliances

and stuff like that, which is scary,

because you never know.

I don't think it's bad.

Like, I feel like from the outside,

I feel like you guys might look

like an alliance maybe a little bit.

[droning music plays]

- Just because you guys hang out a lot.

- We're just good pals.

- I

- No, I know, but I'm just saying.

Like, some

some of these "alliances" are unspoken.

Like, you know what I mean?

- They're just people who just are like

- Right.

If push comes to shove,

we'll get in a line together.

Oh my God.

Maybe we shouldn't be seen together.

[all laugh]

We're gonna look like a weak-ass alliance

with three people.

- Yeah, we're playing a pretty poor game.

- Yeah. [laughs]

[somber music plays]

[393] I'm a lone ranger.

I don't Mmm.

I can work in groups,

but I don't prefer it, you know.

There's something about my hearing loss

that

I feel like I have to give a lot of energy

when socializing with hearing people.

I've gotta listen.

I've gotta lip-read sometimes.

I've got to, you know, read the room.

It's a lot of work.

To survive, I'm gonna try my best.

I'm gonna do whatever I can

to live another day,

but I'm not willing to

I'm not willing

I'm trying to think

of how to say "screw people over"

without using the "f" sign.

[musical swell plays]

Some people are saying

that they just don't trust anyone,

and I don't feel that way.

- Yeah. No, I trust you guys.

- I know you guys would

I trust you guys absolutely.

- [453] Yeah.

- I love you guys. I really do.

- Aw! Yay.

- Yay!

Oh, let's keep it low-key

or people are gonna eliminate us.

[keyboard clacking]

- [054] Oh, you've got You've got kids?

- Yeah, I have a three-year-old.

- A boy or a girl?

- It's a boy.

I'm a boy mom! Can't you tell?

- You imagine me with a little girl?

- Yeah, you're definitely a boy mom.

She fall, get to crying,

I'd be like, "Get up. Suck that up!"

Ashley and Jada,

I think you guys are so funny.

- [Jada] Aw!

- Seriously.

You remind me of my friends,

you know, back in the Navy.

They They're

They speak their voice, you know?

They never hold anything back.

Aw. Thank you, May.

Mai! See, now Ashley got me saying "My."

I'm Mai,

but my granddaughter call me "Meimei."

- Aw!

- [Mai laughs]

That is so cute.

- [Ashley] What is the treat?

- What do you guys think the treat is?

[Jada] I think the orange juice

is a part of the treat.

Or are we squeezing this for the staff?

- [laughs]

- [054] No!

- Exploitation!

- [laughing]

[automated voice] Players

you have 30 seconds remaining.

- Wait. No.

- What?

[Jada] No, she's lying.

- Squeeze.

- [Mai] That's okay.

No, no, everybody's full, right?

Squeezing, squeezing.

Squeezing, squeezing, squeezing!

[grunts]

Oh, hell yeah. I I got a big one.

- This might be it. This might be it.

- [054] Yeah, yeah.

Oh, baby.

- Yeah.

- Oh, yeah, it's over with.

Yeah, I think we're gonna Oh! We're

- [exclaiming]

[065] Come on, baby! All the way up!

- [Jada screams]

- We got it!

[Ashley] Wait. Relax.

That's not full. That's That's bubbles.

- That's full.

- Yes, that's absolutely full.

- It's full.

- [automated voice] Players.

- Shh!

- Your time for chores is over.

Please stop what you're doing immediately.

[054] Yeah. We got this, we got this.

[065] I don't know what's gonna happen

if we don't complete this task.

We don't know

the stakes behind if we fail.

I've kinda been laying

really low in this game,

and I don't want to, you know,

throw my name out there,

and the first thing

just be an absolute failure and flop.

If she says anything else

but "You passed"

[automated voice] Players,

please return to the dorm.

[054] What?

The results of the chore

will be announced later.

[all groan and exclaim]

[Ashley] Oh my gosh.

Why you gotta do us like this?

Okay, so we don't even know if we passed.

God, I wonder what they're doing.

I hope they're okay.

Mai was in there,

and I really like Mai, she's really sweet.

My parents taught me

don't volunteer for anything,

'cause most likely it's gonna be sh*t.

- [man 1] Sweet.

- [all cheer]

[man 2] We got five people back.

[054] Don't clap, guys,

'cause we don't know.

- You made it? You didn't make it?

- [221] We're not happy?

Because we don't know if we passed.

- [326] Oh, you don't know?

- [054] No.

I pray to God it's a treat. [mock sobs]

- I really want it to be a treat.

- See, I'm a chocolate person, so

My favorite desserts are all lemon.

Lemon cakes, lemon

lemon poppy seed muffins,

lemon meringues.

- [groans and wags tongue]

- Oh my God, like, come on.

[sighs]

[buzzer plays on speakers]

[intriguing music plays]

[doors clang and whir]

- You guys aren't scared?

- Why are you scared?

[Jada] I don't know.

[square guard] Attention, all players.

Earlier, a number of you

attempted to complete a chore.

That attempt was

successful.

[all cheer]

As a reward,

the whole dorm will now receive a treat.

[players cheer]

The treat

is a picnic.

[all cheer wildly]

Let's go! Let's go!

[TJ] That's what I'm talking about.

Yeah! Yeah!

[344] Oh, wine and cheese would be lit.

I just want chicken nuggets.

[stately classical music plays]

[square guard] You must now choose someone

to share your picnic with and line up.

[019] Partner? Come on.

[336] Right, let's do it.

We gonna stick together? Let's go.

- [Bee] Anyone need a pair? Have a pair?

- Charlie already claimed me.

Why don't you and Mai link up?

- [Jada] Come on, Mai, we can be paired.

- Okay.

[all chattering]

Anyone wanna pair up?

[Dylan] We're at 63 people.

There's gonna be one odd man out.

- You need a pair?

- [399] Okay.

[Dylan] And so I decided to go with Aurora

'cause she's the closest person around me.

I'd rather be partners with you

than be the one person out.

[Aurora] Okay.

- I'm happy to be the spare.

- [square guard] Players.

Each pair must now

collect a picnic blanket

and find a space to sit.

[man] Time for some food.

- [Ashley] Thanks. Where you wanna sit at?

- [Phalisia] I dunno.

- Thank you.

- Let's get it, brother.

- [Jada] My gosh. I feel like a princess.

- Thank you.

- I smell cookies. Ooh!

- I smell something sweet.

Oh, man, I'm so ready for all of this!

I'm so excited.

Do you reckon

you can fit three on a blanket?

- Thank you.

- [woman] Jordan, there's another blanket.

- Is there?

- Yeah.

[Jordan] I don't mind, you know,

having a picnic by myself.

I'm an only child.

I'm a pretty solitary guy.

Thanks, mate.

I'm happy to take a risk. I feel

like you never know what's gonna happen.

I kind of like that I've got

a singular thing all to myself, you know?

[man] Hey.

[players cheering]

["Waltz of the Flowers"

by Tchaikovsky plays]

[man] Nice!

[Chaney exclaims happily]

[man] We're ready.

This is so cute.

Oh my God, I'm so excited.

Give us a basket first.

- Thank you.

- Thank you.

[square guard] You may now

enjoy your picnic.

Wow!

- [man 1] Yes! Orange juice!

- [man 2] Gummies, baby!

This is cute!

- It's the juice. It's the juice!

- Oh!

- What's in here?

- [031] I think it's a cookie. Whoa!

- Look at that! [laughs]

- Oh!

- Oh!

- I've never felt happiness like this.

- [whistles]

- They went all out on this one.

- We got barbecue chips!

- [yells]

[woman 1] Oh my God.

[woman 2] There's candy!

They do love us.

- All right, hold on. Give that to me.

- What?

- I'm doing some searching.

- Oh.

[Leann gasps]

[ominous tone plays]

[ominous music plays]

Oh, this is [mock sobs]

What's in here?

[Phalisia gasps]

- Put that sh*t back.

- There's marbles in the bottom.

Oh, we got candy, we got Oh!

- [031] Yo, look at this, look at this!

- Let's go!

[exclaiming]

[339] Let's go!

[man] Guys, can I just say

to the people who did the chores today,

thank you so much.

- Thank you so much.

- [players applaud]

[sighs] Oh, God.

[sighs]

It's okay.

[breath trembles]

[Trey] I see those marbles,

and my heart sinks.

[chuckles sadly]

[Trey] Either I am going

to eliminate my own mother,

or she is going to eliminate me.

[ominous tone plays]

[031] Oh, there's more. Here, here.

Oh, marbles! Oh no!

Guys, there's marbles in bottom.

[ominous tone plays]

- Pick up the thing.

- [339] Marbles in your basket.

- [woman] It's true. You open the bottom?

- [Mikie] Oh, my God.

[Kyle groans heavily]

[marbles rattle]

This is sick, yo.

[Dan] Damn it,

I knew we should have split up.

[Dan] This is a cruel,

vicious, savage game.

Head-to-head,

we're gonna have to battle it out.

You are trifling.

I looked into my false bottom.

There's no marbles.

[sobs]

[Ashley] 229 has become,

like [sobs]my homie-lover-friend.

And

[sniffles]

I know she wants it,

like, way more than I do.

And so that's tough

because somebody has to go home.

[somber music plays]

It sucks so bad.

Jesus Christ.

[flaps lips]

[sobs] Can't talk at the moment.

[sobs]

[sighs heavily]

Favour is starting to cry.

He's He's devastated.

[sniffles]

I am wondering if he's gonna stay

this emotional throughout the game.

If that's maybe an advantage for me.

- I don't wanna play you.

- I don't wanna play you.

[Leann] You really better win it.

Seriously.

- Mai, we're gonna play to the death.

- I know, right? We will.

We have no other choice.

[doors clang and whir]

[suspenseful percussive music plays]

Oh my God.

I feel sick, man.

Attention, players.

Please stand and follow the staff.

Your next game is Marbles.

[ethereal choral music plays]

[square guard] You will each go

head-to-head against your picnic partner.

And only half of you will return.

[dramatic music plays]

[man groans] Throwing marbles for 4.56.

[Leann] Most mothers

would just let their kid win.

[Phalisia] One of us

is not coming out of here.

- [TJ] I'm here to win. That's it.

- [sobs]

[woman 1] I am literally terrified.

Please, God.

[man 1] Oh my gosh.

[man 2] I don't wanna lose.

I don't wanna go home.

[woman 2] I feel like people

are gonna start changing.

- [man 3] I wanna win that money.

- [man 4] I need to win this game.

[man 5] Just like that. Anybody can go.

[square guard] Congratulations.

You are the winner of Squid Game.
