[woman on PA] All staff, please
clear away the eliminated players.

Let me repeat.

All staff, please clear away...

[footsteps approaching]

[masked soldier 2]
Damn, that was close.

Good thing I like to go hunting.

[both laugh]

I owe you one.

Oh, no worries.
That was a blast.

Come on.

[g*nsh*t]

-[mysterious music]
-[masked soldier 3 laughs]

You two look like
you had some fun.

Bit of a scrape.

How about you two?

Oh, we're just getting started.

I heard there's more
of them upstairs.

-Yeah?
-[masked soldier 4] Yeah.

Let's go.

SQUID GAME 3

EPISODE 3 IT'S NOT YOUR FAULT

[Myung-gi sighs]

[door opens]

[Nam-gyu in Korean] Hey.

Have you seen my necklace?

The cross with the pills inside.

-No.
-Are you sure?

I haven't seen it.

[Nam-gyu yells in frustration]

Where did I lose it?

-[man] Damn...
-[Nam-gyu sighs]

I left something in the
arena. I have to find it.

I... I'd like to look
for it real quick.

[masked soldier] No, you
can't go back in there.

-[eerie music]
-[Nam-gyu sighs]

Come on! Just...

Please, okay?

I can't do anything without it.

f*ck! I have to go find it!

-[music stops]

[Na-yeon's father groans]

[No-eul] Suck it up.
We don't have time.

[Na-yeon's father] But...

why are you helping me?

[No-eul] Just do as I
say if you want to live.

[Na-yeon's father
breathing shakily]

-[baby cooing]
-[Geum-ja] Oh, sweet pea. I know, dear.

She's just hungry.

Do you want to try?

-[baby crying]
-[somber music]

[baby stops crying]

[alarm buzzing]

[door closes]

[masked manager] Congratulations to all of
you for making it through the fourth game.

Here are the results
of the fourth game.

-[remote beeps]
-[ceiling rumbles]

[digital trilling]

[chiptune music]

In the fourth game, 35
players were eliminated.

-We now have 25 players remaining.
-[chiptune music intensifies]

The prize money accumulated up to
this point is 43.1 billion won,

and each person's share
is 1.724 billion won.

[music stops]

You will now take a vote to decide
whether to continue the games or not.

["The Blue Danube"
playing on speakers]

[in English] I always enjoyed
watching it from the outside,

but it was a completely new experience
putting on the uniform and taking part.

What can I even compare it to?

It was like I was a Maasai tribesman
stalking the African wilderness.

[laughs]

I've done plenty of
hunting in Africa,

but this... was
on another level.

f*ck, I...

I was the only
one who didn't go?

That f*cking chopper
was late, man!

I spent so much money
on that piece of junk.

Oh, you sure your
chopper was the problem?

Or were you too drunk
to wake up on time?

You know something?

When you don't open your mouth,
you're kind of attractive.

[VIP 2 scoffs]

I see why Chairman Oh
passed the reins to you.

The work you've done
here is top-notch.

Not only giving us the
pleasure of watching the game,

but also letting us participate.

[Front Man] I'm just
upholding Chairman Oh's wishes

to better entertain my guests.

Shall we raise a glass to the
memory of the legendary Chairman Oh?

-To Chairman Oh!
-[VIPs] Chairman Oh!

[radio beeps]

[in Korean] Officer.
This is Manager 004.

[radio beeps]

[Masked Officer] Go ahead.

[masked manager] We've lost
contact with the operating room.

[Masked Officer] Go down
and check for yourself.

[tense music]

[Na-yeon's father
breathing shakily]

[phone buzzing]

MR. CHOI

Hello?

[Woo-seok] Hwang, it's
just as I thought.

I did some digging, and there's
something fishy about Captain Park.

For one thing, nobody around
here knows much about him.

I've been asking the market
vendors and fishermen,

trying to find out where he's
from, whether he has any family,

which school he went to.

But no one seems to know.

Also, his resident registration
has the name Park Yeong-gil,

but no one even
recognizes that name.

They kept asking if that's really
his name. How's that for suspicious?

We still can't conclude that
he k*lled the drone operator.

I know, but there's definitely
something fishy about him.

That's not all. Remember
Captain Ko from the other boat?

Park introduced him as
a local here in Moojin.

But no one seems to know
anything about him either!

My friend from the area
hasn't even heard of him.

He's practically a
ghost around here.

[Kim] Come on!

We've got a visual
on the island.

I have to go. I'll
call you back.

[Woo-seok] Okay, I'll
look into it further.

Just keep an eye
on Captain Park.

Let's go.

[Jun-h*] Bring the
drone a little lower.

["The Blue Danube"
playing on speakers]

[in English] Oh, it's
time for the voting.

[VIP 2] Seems like it.

I'm telling you, watching
the voting this year?

So fun.

Oh, it was more exciting
than the actual games.


over a million dollars.

That's a lot of money
for people like them.

Suppose they want to stop here.

[Front Man] The players down
there have made it this far

by k*lling each other.

Most of them are thinking now,

"If more people die, how
much more money can I get?"

Among the 25 left, 16 are
already wearing a circle patch.

After that riot in the dark,

people will be nervous about
voting against the majority.

[masked manager in Korean] The player
with the lowest number will vote first.

Player 039, please
cast your vote.

[tense music]

If you wish to continue the
games, press the O button.

If you wish to end them,
press the X button.

Can we please stop here?

Have some pity on this
old woman. I beg you.

[Player 192 sighs]

[shakily] Everyone, please.

I'm begging you to put
a stop to this now.

-[dark music]
-[players sighing]

If the money still
isn't enough for you,

I'll give you all my share.

You can take all my money.

[exhales]

Look,

I've lived long enough.

It wouldn't matter
if I died here.

But we can't let that baby
and its mom die, can we?

Everyone, please.

I'm begging you.

[masked manager] Player


-[music intensifies]
-Sir, please!

Please save Jun-hee
and the baby.

Please have mercy on this
old woman! I beg you!

{\an8}Please let the baby
and its mom out!

{\an8}Please let them out...

-[masked soldier 2] This is Number 025.

[No-eul] Follow those soldiers.

There's a camera in the
room too. Be careful.

[masked manager] It is
the final voter's turn.

Player 456, please
cast your vote.

Player 456 has
forfeited his vote.

Of the 25 voters,


for X, and one abstention.

In accordance with your democratic vote,
the next game will take place tomorrow.

I hope you have
a pleasant night.

Good work.

-[players sigh]
-[somber music]

[baby crying]

[Jun-hee sighs]

[VIP 5 in English] Well,
our host was exactly right.

There was a bigger gap in
the votes than I thought.

I almost cried when I heard
that old lady's speech.

[VIPs laughing]

It was touching.

Do you think she meant it when she
said she'd give up all her money?

[VIP 3] She's probably senile.

This is the nutjob
that kills her own son

just to save some baby
and a woman she just met.

I think I understand her.

After all, there's many times
I've wanted to bury my son alive.

[VIP laughing]

-[VIPs talking indistinctly]
-["The Blue Danube" playing on speakers]

[radio beeps]

[in Korean] What's
the situation?

[masked manager] Numbers


[Masked Officer] Who did that?

[masked manager]
There was a gunfight.

It looks like Number 016 did it.

[Masked Officer] Number 016?

The doctor who
removes the organs?

[masked manager] Yes.

He's the only one whose body is
missing from the operating room.

-[eerie music]
-[door locks clicking]

[Masked Officer] Check on
the soldiers' quarters.

[masked manager]
Numbers 005, 007, 011,

[buttons clicking]

and 025 haven't returned yet.

[Masked Officer] Where's 016?

[masked manager]
Back in the room.

[tense music]

[Yeong-gil] It's low tide now.

Let's go before the
currents get any stronger.

Bring the drone back in.

[mercenary] Yes, sir.

[Jun-h*] Hold on.

Fly the drone back to shore.

[Kim] Why? Do you see something?

[Jun-h*] I feel like
I've been here before.

Captain Park, get us as close
to the shore as possible.

The reefs make it too dangerous.

Please. I need to
check something.

You should eat.

[melancholy music]

I know it's hard, but
you still need to eat.

Mom has to live for
the baby to live.

Drink water so you don't choke.

[Jun-hee sniffles] I'm sorry.

It's all because of me.

[Geum-ja] Don't ever think that.

From now on,

this baby is your only concern.

Don't think of anything
except you and your baby.

[baby cooing]

Okay?

[sniffles]

[elevator door closes]

[bottle cork pops]

-[radio beeps]
-After lights-out,

-[liquid pouring]
-bring Number 016 to me.

[glass clacks]

And track down Number


-[radio beeps]
-[masked manager] Yes, sir.

[No-eul] Number 011 is here.

-[sighs]
-[footsteps approaching]

[ominous music]

Was the operating
room your doing?

Why?

We're taking a few organs from
trash that's going to die anyway.

Why are you risking your life?

You're the one taking that risk.

What do you want?

Tomorrow, assign me and Number


You mean the doctor?

Do you know each other?

And get us a boat.

You can't escape this
place that easily.

You know that.

I heard that the
VIPs have arrived.

It'd be better for you if
we disappeared quietly.

Isn't that right?

[tense music]

[panting]

[g*nsh*t]

[Jun-h* breathing heavily]

[panting]

[In-h*] Jun-h*.

Come with me.

[breath trembling]

[ominous music]

[radio beeps]

This is where I was shot.

Are you sure?

[Jun-h*] Yes, I'm sure.

The island must be
somewhere nearby.

[Kim] Very well.

It'll be dark soon, so come
back to the boat for now.

We'll start searching
at dawn tomorrow.

[Jun-h*] We can definitely
find the island now.

-[Kim] Check the area.
-[mercenaries] Yes, sir.

[sighs]

[baby cooing quietly]

[Geum-ja] Are you blaming yourself
for everything that has happened?

No matter how you look at it,

life just is unfair.

Bad people do bad things,

but they blame others and
go on to live in peace.

Good people, on the other hand,

beat themselves up about
the smallest things.

My Yong-sik was just like that.

He was a soft kid. Foolishly so.

He blamed himself when his
employer went bankrupt,

when his creditors beat him up,

and when he was conned
at the gambling den.

[scoffs] He even blamed himself

when a friend he trusted
ran off with his money.

He drank himself
stupid that night.

One day, I got sick of
him being so pathetic.

I couldn't take it anymore,
so I yelled at him.

"I regret all the pain I went through
to bring you into this world."

"I'll just pretend I
never had a son like you."

"So get out of my sight
now, you useless idiot!"

Later that night...

he overdosed.

He had left a suicide note saying he
was sorry for being such a failure.

As I rushed him to the
hospital in my cart,

I prayed to God.

I promised that I'd do
anything if my boy was spared.

Even jump into a pit of
fire, if that's what it took.

[breath trembling]

But guess what?

In the end...

I k*lled him.

[melancholy music]

With my own hands, I...

I k*lled my own child.

[sighs]

Sir.

Please will you help...

Jun-hee and her baby?

[sighs]

I still believe that you
came here to save us all.

I'm sorry.

I...

I'm not that kind of person.

I don't know if I ended
up here at this age

because I've lived
my life wrong,

or because of the awful
people you said were upstairs.

But that baby hasn't
done anything wrong.

It's not her fault she
was born in this hellhole.

Sir, please.

{\an8}Please help Jun-hee
and her baby survive.

Instead of me and my son,

please save Jun-hee
and her baby.

Please, sir.

I beg you.

Please, sir.

-[Woo-seok] Hey, stop the van here.
-[man] Okay.

[car engine dies]

[Woo-seok] I think it's
that house over there.

-But, brother.
-Yeah?

What are you
looking for exactly?

Some proof that Captain
Park is up to no good.

-But, brother.
-Yeah.

Do you have to go this far?

You're breaking into
someone's house.

It feels kinda wrong.

I'm not asking you to come
with me. Just keep watch.

[man] Brother.

Is that a real g*n?

Yes, it belonged to the b*stard

who k*lled the boss.

Stay on the lookout.

The doctor is dead?

[woman on PA] All soldiers...

[masked manager] I just scanned
his chip and confirmed it.

I believe Number


She dressed 016 in the tracksuit
to make him look like a player.

[Masked Officer] Then who's
the one from Number 016's room?

[masked manager]
It's Player 246.

[radio beeps]

[woman on PA] Here are
your duties for today.

[Jun-hee breathing heavily]

[Gi-hun] Jun-hee.

Give me the baby.

It's okay.

The baby could get hurt.

[VIP 1 in English] Isn't 222
at too much of a disadvantage?

She's got an injured
leg, and now even a baby.

That's too many handicaps.

Did anyone bet on her
for the next game?

[chuckles]

Who in their right
mind would do that?

[VIP 3] I did.

Can I ask why?

I got drunk, and uh,
pressed the wrong number.

[VIP 2 laughs] Of course he did.

Oh, but I'm not giving up yet.

There's a saying that
God created mothers

because he couldn't
be everywhere at once.

Perhaps there's something
that 222 could do.

That depends on what
the next game is.

[chuckles]

Please, tell us about
it. We're all so curious.

[Front Man] Then I'll show you.

[ominous music]

What on earth is that?

[in Korean] I was afraid
I'd end up on my own again

if I didn't keep the baby.

I thought the baby was
going to be my family,

someone who'd be
with me forever.

[somber music]

No matter how hard it might be,

I thought having my own
baby would make me happier.

But because of me...

both Hyun-ju and Ms. Jang...

Because of me...

[Jun-hee sobbing]

It's not your fault.

We made a choice.

-[melancholy music]
-Ms. Jang, Hyun-ju,

and you.

We made our own choices.

I had a daughter too.

I was never a good father.

But watching her grow
up after she was born...

was the happiest
time of my life.

Protect your baby,
no matter what.

I'll help you.

[sniffles]

[VIP 3 in English]
f*ck! This is horseshit!


f*cked up! What the...

What the hell is she
supposed to do up there?

Seems like you're screwed.

May I make a proposal then?

Yeah. What proposal?

Why don't we have the baby
join its mother in the game?

Oh, you wanna put the
baby in the game too?

Okay, uh, how the f*ck
does that help me?

Kinda seems like more
of a disadvantage.

Well, like you said, a mother will
do anything to save her child.

[scoffs] Who knows?

This might turn 222 into some
kind of Marvel superhero.

Like Wonder Woman?

[VIP 2] That's actually a
DC superhero. But anyways...

It seems reasonable to me.
Shall we give it a try?

I like that.

[VIP 5] That sounds fun.

-You should do it!
-Ah...

Yeah, f*ck it, f*ck
it. Let's do it.

I mean, I'm screwed
either way, right? So,

I'll make this
sacrifice for the, uh,

for the sake of
your entertainment.

-Here they come!
-Come on!

[VIPs cheering]

-[ominous music]
-[players breathing shakily]

[in Korean] What
the hell is this?

I think we're supposed
to get to the other side.

[woman on PA] Welcome
to the fifth game.

The game you will be
playing is Jump Rope.

You must cross the bridge as
you jump over the rotating rope

and get to the other
side within 20 minutes.

You may decide on the
order amongst yourselves.

Sit down for a second.
