01x08 - Episode 8

[bunniefuu]

- Oh, it's working.

- What?

Is that your phone, Asahi?

No, it's the one I picked up.

Is it recording?

Yes.

I'm pretty sure the camera's working.

Unreal

There's no one in this town.

Everyone in Tokyo

seems to have disappeared.

We're in Harajuku and no one's here.

Yeah.

What's going on?

There's not a living soul around.

It's been five days now.

Taking another video?

What are you gonna do with them?

Leaving a record.

What's the point?

Someone might see it one day.

And after a little while,

we met someone.

There was this place

where we were taken to and

When we got there, we started working.

Okay?

Are you seriously going in there?

It's pitch black in here.

Momoka?

Momoka?

Momoka!

Fifteen minutes remaining.

k*ll 'em all.

I

I can't do this anymore.

We've got no choice.

We'll never be the same again

after k*lling so many people.

Did you hear me?

Anyone who defies me here is the witch.

Just sh**t me then!

That's enough!

This ends now!

You

You had me tied up the whole time.

When the m*rder happened,

that's where I was.

So that means that you know that

That I can't be the witch.

And if you aren't the witch,

you don't need to k*ll me.

Just work with me

and we'll find the witch!

Arisu!

Stop it!

I know everything!

You're going after Arisu

even though you know he didn't do it.

And that's

because you're the witch!

Arisu!

Are ya

the witch?

Yes.

I am the witch.

Go ahead.

Do it!

Well, sh**t him!

Aguni is not the witch!

It's a Ten of Hearts game!

It plays with your feelings

and your emotions!

You're not gonna win by k*lling Aguni.

That's not the way this game works.

I know you're not the witch.

So why then?

You gotta have another reason.

What are you saying?

The one that you k*lled

wasn't Momoka.

It was Hatter.

What?

I could see it right away in your eyes.

It was as if you lost all hope and

just gave up.

I had the same feeling

when I k*lled my friends.

You're not dumb.

But as soon as you took over,

you wanted to k*ll everyone.

And that's not like you.

So you

had to have another motive.

Ever since I came to the Beach,

I couldn't quite figure it out.

If you had possession of all these g*ns,

why didn't the militant corps take over

a long time ago?

That never happened until now.

Because in the end,

you weren't against Hatter at all.

Didn't you actually help each other out?

You wanted to make sure that

scary people like Niragi

don't go ballistic.

You tried to hold them back.

I know

how close you and Hatter were.

You were best friends, weren't you?

Then, why did you k*ll him?

I'll tell you why.

Because you could never forgive him

for what he did.

You wanted it all to stop,

but it was too late.

You didn't recognize him anymore,

isn't that right?

These crazy games

They're gonna continue?

I will create a utopia here.

An oasis.

For all of those out there

who have lost hope

I offer the possibility

of a better life!

This will be where hope is born.

That's impossible.

Really?

We can do it together.

Hear my words now.

We're all in this together.

We're going to unite

and gather all the cards

and get back to the world we knew!

Idiots

thought they could hide

their playing cards from me.

Aguni.

As of this day,

there will be a new rule.

"Death to any traitor."

You don't know anything!

Stop it!

You know nothing.

THIS WAY TO THE GAME ARENA

This way.

Congratulations.

That brings back memories.

This place really hasn't changed at all.

Look

I'm done.

We're losing control of Niragi

and the militant corps.

Let's get rid of the Beach.

Get rid of it?

Every member of the Beach

is consumed with the happiness

that they found there.

Getting back to the old world

by gathering a few cards

was just a lie you came up with.

We need to end this.

So you're

betraying me, then?

"Death to any traitor," right?

That's the rule of the Beach,

remember that.

The Beach means nothing!

Just stop this.

I wanted to instill hope,

to create a utopia!

It's bullshit, and you know it!

There is no hope here.

This world we're in

has crushed all hope.

You see,

I used to have friends with me

I could trust.

But all the hope I had

d*ed along with them.

Sometimes, a king

is in a position where he has

to make decisions

that are painfully hard.

Like right now,

my friend.

I know what it feels like

to see your friends die.

To k*ll them, I see it.

You k*lled your friend.

I see it in your eyes.

And now you just wanna k*ll everyone here,

because they were the ones

who made your friend crazy.

These painful feelings of yours,

the game master is using all of them.

That's why it's a game of Hearts.

Don't you get that?

Shut up!

Arisu!

So if all of this is true, then

Aguni wanted to k*ll everyone

no matter what the game was.

He had you do it.

And we said nothing

and went along with it all.

So, who here is the witch then?

I know who it is.

I know who the real witch is.

A game master

uses similar characteristics

in every game.

In a game of Hearts,

he usually makes a fool out of everyone.

Difficulty, Seven of Hearts.

A game of betrayal plays with our hearts.

It's bullshit!

It looks like the wolf

is the one that needs to hide!

It might be that

there really was a way to end the game

without having to k*ll everyone.

A solution where

nobody has to get hurt,

and no one has to die.

But that's impossible.

We have to hunt down the witch

and burn them

in the Fire of Judgment, right?

No.

The witch could be right here and

no one dies.

Because it's

Momoka. She was the witch all along.

So, wait.

She stabbed herself in the chest?

Yes.

If I were the game master

that's what I would come up with.

You're full of sh*t!

I'm the witch!

You all wanna k*ll me, right?

Aguni's trying

to take everyone down with him.

Oh, Takeru.

Hey.

Takeru. Takeru.

Takeru!

This Beach made him crazy.

Do you hear me?

You guys made him crazy!

k*ll me, I'm the witch!

Listen.

I know how to stop Aguni, trust me!

I'll get his attention, all right?

Burn Momoka in the Fire of Judgment.

Arisu.

This whole thing has to stop now, okay?

Asahi!

Everyone!

I'm the one!

The dealer of this game!

It was a reverse grip.

Fingerprints with a reverse grip

were found on the Kn*fe.

That means

that Momoka grabbed

the handle of the Kn*fe

and stabbed it through her own chest.

She was the witch.

But why would she do that?

It couldn't have been just for the game.

So Momoka was really

the game master after all?

And that girl said she was the dealer.

So they were just toying with us

the whole time, then?

So there was never any high power

doing all this?

They were just human?

But it's possible that

they could've been

controlled by somebody else.

Aguni.

We need to stop this.

No more innocent people have to die.

Too many people have already.

I understand how it feels

to k*ll your friends.

But we can't take it out on

people who are still alive!

We are still alive!

We're all in this together

and we have to fight to end it all!

I don't want anybody else to die!

The fire is spreading!

Run!

- Hurry! Put her in the Fire of Judgment!

- Hurry, run!

That hurt.

If I could do it all over again,

I'd use this Fire of Judgment

to burn this whole place down!

- Niragi

- Niragi?

And that will make me the winner!

Get off me!

I'm gonna k*ll you!

You are dead.

I'll k*ll you all!

Aguni.

Three minutes

remaining in the game.

We need to hurry!

Grab her legs.

Ready? Now lift!

Come on!

Hurry! Move, move, move!

Congratulations.

GAME CLEARED

CONGRATULATIONS

There is no safe place

for us in this world.

When the first explorers

discovered the north pole,

the world was unspoiled

and spared of the burden of civilization.

And when it is all said and done,

we simply return to the soil.

This land

is a mirror to the world.

I am thankful to this place.

For now

I'm freer than ever before.

This is the end of our paradise.

So many of us d*ed.

I don't think I

can ever forgive them.

- Let me go!

- You can't.

But they

They k*lled 'em all!

I can't let that go!

Let's stop this.

Everyone here, we're still alive.

And that's all that matters right now.

That's all that matters.

Arisu?

Arisu!

I get it now.

I understand.

Arisu

You never quit, do you?

I was starting to think

collecting these cards was pointless.

What do you think now?

I'm thinking that

we still haven't seen

any of the face cards.

And so what is it

the game's controllers want us to see?

- Is it recording?

- Yes.

I'm pretty sure the camera's working.

What is this?

It's a video that Asahi left behind.

Unreal

There's no one in this town.

Everyone in Tokyo

seems to have disappeared.

And after a little while,

we met someone.

There was this place

where we were taken to and

When we got there, we started working.

We helped with

preparing and executing the games.

Are you seriously going in there?

There are people known as dealers

who help facilitate the games.

Sometimes we actually join the games

or act as taggers.

Everyone thinks

we are just regular players,

and part of our job is to confuse them.

But

during the games,

we're being watched the entire time,

and we'll be k*lled if anyone

ever finds out that we're the dealers.

Are you recording again?

What are you gonna do if they find out?

BEWARE OF ELECTROCUTION

TRAIN CABLES ABOVE

Is this where the game master is?

Stop!

They're really going at it!

All right, yes, yes!

DEALER WINS

Who are they?

So these are all the game masters?

So many have d*ed.

I remember one girl around our age.

Our job was

to make sure the game went

the way they wanted it,

and we joined in.

And we made sure many players d*ed.

Because of us,

many people die every day.

I can't take this anymore.

We k*ll people, win the game,

and earn visa days.

We get to live for another two weeks,

but I don't even know

how many people I've

I can't do it anymore.

Momoka.

This is all a dream.

It's all right.

We're going to wake up

from this nightmare soon.

I want it all to be over

So this is it.

There it is.

BEWARE OF ELECTROCUTION

TRAIN CABLES ABOVE

I don't believe it.

So you actually

found this place.

I expected no less from you.

Long time no see.

What's going on?

Thanks to you two, I have

all the numbered playing cards right here.

Thank you.

How did you find this place?

It took me a while,

but I figured out that this is actually

the map of a subway station.

So what happens

when we collect all the cards?

I thought coming here

would provide me with an answer.

But I gotta tell you,

I only know one thing.

These people aren't the game masters,

are they?

Right.

What's pretty clear is

they were all k*lled after our victory.

They're just humans like us,

and the kicker is

there's someone above them.

So, then who could they be?

Who knows?

Maybe aliens.

Maybe God.

SPECIAL URGENT BROADCAS

Congratulations to all players.

Huh?

Oh.

Mira.

Except for the face cards,

you've all completed the numbered games

and emerged victorious.

And the prize of these sweet victories

was the sacrifice of many lives.

I wonder

just how many

of your close friends have d*ed?

Do you remember

the ones who were sh*t in the head?

That girl you b*rned alive

The ones struck down by lasers

Or the ones who drowned?

Help me!

The ones whose heads were blown off?

Your friends.

All that despair you felt

Karube!

Those gruesome scenes,

you'll never forget them.

And that

really touches me.

To all surviving players,

we just wanted

to give you a present.

Going back to our world?

There will be new games!

Let's all play,

and this time with all the face cards!

New games?

I don't hate that idea.

We've got so many more wonderful

and exciting games in store for you all,

so be prepared.

So then

Is she the game master?

I think I'd rather see an alien up there.

The next stage starts tomorrow,

when the clock strikes noon.

Let's have some fun,

all together!

So we have to fight once again.

Yeah.

But there's one difference.

Now we know what our target looks like.

SHIBUYA CENTER STREE

SHIBUYA STATION

That's where we'll find our answers.
