"You must be the change you wish to see in the world."
That's what Gandhi said.
I…
will create a utopia here.
For those who have fallen into despair…
if we don't have hope,
we just need to make it!
This will be the land of hope.
I will make this place the second Beach!
BEACH
How long are you going to sleep?
Did you drink too much?
Did you get any information?
Not at all.
I should go gather some information now.
It seems like Hatter has taken a liking to you.
The militants have their eye on you, so be careful.
You don't know what they'll do to you.
I heard this from the guys who drove all the way to the suburbs.
The further you get from the city, the more run-down the streets are,
and beyond that, it looks like a jungle of sorts.
And they didn't proceed further than that.
Seriously?
I heard that game arenas are only within Tokyo!
Let's pump it up until the end!
There are rumors of those who tried escaping from the country via a boat,
but those lasers from the sky
killed all of them.
Have you heard of that?
So does that mean only people in Tokyo disappeared?
But if this only happened in Tokyo,
the SDF would have come to our rescue, right?
The fact that they didn't come means everyone in Japan disappeared, right?
Even the U.S. army didn't come for us.
Don't tell me… everyone in the entire world disappeared?
Aliens inserted a chip into our brains and are toying with us.
I'm sure no one would be able to escape from this place.
Let me drink some.
The more I hear, the more depressing it gets.
Perhaps…
our only hope really lies in the playing cards.
I'll head to the annex basement now.
Don't overdo it.
I'll go get food supplies and any weapons that we can use.
I'll also gather some information in case we need it.
"In case we need it?" What does she mean?
Hey, can I ask both of you something?
Wait, I'm not trying to hit on you!
That is the true nature of this utopia.
This is part of Beach's rule.
"Death to the traitors."
Arisu.
You and Usagi seem to have collected a vast amount of information.
What are you both planning?
Nothing much.
I'll cut to the chase.
How will you live in this world that's full of despair?
"How"?
I just want to know the answers to my questions.
The ones behind this crazy game.
And who killed Karube and Chota.
I thought I'd be able to survive
and return to the original world with everyone.
If that is not possible,
I want Usagi to return, at the very least.
This is the only reason why I'm still alive.
What a tearjerker.
Your dream…
It's cool,
but it's not practical at all.
You'll have to win all the games and become the next Number One,
but that's impossible.
It has nothing to do with you guys.
We think that you have potential.
-What? -That's why we came to meet you.
What do you mean?
What if I said there's a way to change the status quo all at once?
We're off to the game arena!
They gathered quite a number of firearms.
It was kept in the deepest room in the annex, and there were patrols too.
As long as they have those firearms,
Hatter will be in an advantageous position.
What's the matter?
I'm off!
Hatter is trying to keep the militants in check,
but it's only a matter of time before they retaliate.
If that happens, this place will be controlled by the militants
who don't know how to use their brains.
Then there'd be no point staying here.
What are you planning?
I'm planning to steal all the playing cards
and leave the Beach.
The Beach.
A utopia built upon charisma.
However,
maybe that's just our imagination.
BEACH
A utopia doesn't exist in this world.
Usagi.
I'd like to talk to you about something.
KABUKICHO
THIS WAY TO THE GAME ARENA
This way.
Kabukicho, huh?
This takes me back.
BEACH
I can't wait.
-Hey! -Excuse me, sorry!
Where the hell is the GPS chip?
-So you really were here! -Hey, don't come in without my permission!
Well, something bad happened. Please come with me!
Hurry!
Hey, wait up.
Where did you guys come from?
We didn't ask you guys to come here!
I called him over.
Hey, don't go gathering people on your own.
There's something important he has to hear.
Let's go in.
See you later.
What happened?
Who knows?
It must be something serious.
It seems like he couldn't clear the game.
The maintenance team found him by chance in Shinjuku
while we were refilling gasoline.
Hey, don't touch him as you please.
You dissection maniac.
He was shot by a gun.
Did his game involve guns?
Most likely. Some of those near the game area heard gunshots too.
Oh, my. He should have brought the militants along with him!
What's going to happen to the Beach?
Keep this a secret from the rest. They'll be shaken by this.
I'll be the next leader since I'm Number two.
Wait a second.
Shouldn't the strongest person be the leader?
We're the ones who have been getting rid of the traitors,
yet we've been treated as shadows the entire time.
This unfair treatment ends today!
If Number One dies,
everyone moves up by a number. We agreed on this rule.
The snobbish dictator is dead.
The power has shifted, hasn't it?
Let's just be democratic and go with the majority.
Who agrees that Aguni should be the new leader?
What a bad reaction.
Last Boss.
I'll ask again.
Who agrees that Aguni should be the new leader?
This…
is not a majority rule.
It is, isn't it?
You're free to vote after all.
What about the former Number Two over there?
What will you do?
What about you?
Are you looking down on us, Chishiya?
But you guys really are stupid.
Those eyes of yours really piss me off.
It's so condescending.
I vote for Aguni to be the leader.
Are you all right with losing me as a precious "yes" vote?
Well, I hope you reflect on how you should act in the future.
Hey, what are you spacing out for?
Were you never taught that you should reply to people?
Whose side are you on?
You were really scared for a moment there, right?
That's so funny!
All right.
Suddenly everyone's voting "yes." So the new leader is decided, right?
Hatter would not allow this.
If he were alive, he would not have allowed this.
But he's dead.
The dead won't know what's going on.
See?
Enough.
From today onwards,
I will be the Beach's new king.
Isn't this wonderful?
Now, boss. What's left is the succession ceremony.
Let's open the black envelope.
The black envelope.
The poker cards gathered by all the members of Beach
are kept in the safe in Hatter's royal suite room.
The passcode to the safe
is kept and sealed inside the black envelope.
The envelope is opaque and kept in utmost secrecy,
and can be opened only when there is a new Number One.
The new Number One will check the passcode alone
in front of all the executive members.
Then, he will place the paper with the passcode written on it
into a new envelope and seal it again.
It will then be signed
by all executive members before it's stashed away again.
First, Arisu will infiltrate the royal suite.
Then he will search for the safe
and steal all the playing cards inside.
-What about the passcode? -I have an idea of that.
I'll tell you when you're in front of the safe.
You're really cautious.
I got it.
Usagi and Kuina will be on the lookout.
This is too dangerous. If we're discovered, we'll be killed.
This is the only way to change the current situation.
Now that Hatter is dead and there's no unity at the Beach,
the time is right for this plan.
The leader has changed.
Hatter is no longer with us.
The new leader will be Aguni.
How noisy. Shut up!
It appears that Hatter failed in his game and couldn't return.
Through majority vote among the executive members,
it's been decided that Aguni will be the new Number One.
Now, let's hear from Aguni.
You guys better listen properly.
Now,
what Niragi said is everything.
The new leader is making a speech in the lobby.
All executive members and the militants are at the annex.
We won't get another chance like this.
I'll let you guys know if there are any changes.
I'm counting on you, Arisu.
Understood.
With Hatter gone as the previous Number One,
I now have full control over the Beach.
Follow my orders, live for me,
and die for me.
I found it.
So, what's the passcode?
It's 8022.
Did you see the contents of the letter?
No.
But Aguni's expression told me everything.
That instant,
Aguni's face looked dark.
It was as if he was surprised
and perplexed.
I'm sure the contents must be empty.
Empty? Then what about the passcode you told me?
The wax seal.
It was embossed with the Boss' ring, and it formed numbers.
That was the code itself.
It's 8022.
I wouldn't want to be your enemy.
It won't open!
Chishiya!
Hey! Chishiya!
You really came in so brazenly.
-Why? -Let me go!
-Stay still! -Usagi!
Arisu!
Stop shouting for Usagi, you idiot!
Arisu!
You saved me, Chishiya.
We caught them thanks to your perceptiveness.
No problem. It was what I should do.
Let go! Arisu!
Arisu!
What?
Oh, my.
Are you sleepy already?
Bring him to that room!
I heard that your visa expires tomorrow.
You'll have no hearing, no sight, and no clue what the time is.
I can't imagine the fear as you wait for the laser to shoot through your head!
In the meantime,
we'll enjoy the best of our time with your dear Usagi!
Bye!
How are things on your side, Kuina?
Aguni is still in his room.
I'm so bored now.
Then, shall we proceed with our plan?
I don't know if Arisu is clever or stupid.
There's no way the cards would be kept in an ordinary safe.
Then where is the real safe?
When Arisu found the fake safe,
Aguni, who usually does not waver,
was looking toward a certain location.
I believe that the contents of the envelope
did not contain a passcode or an empty letter…
but instead, it might have been a drawing.
Found it.
So you used him for this?
To gain something, you need to lose something.
He's just a sacrifice. Things like this happen often, don't they?
No, not at all.
I really don't want to be your enemy.
People often tell me that.
-Let me go! -You're too noisy!
Hurry up!
-Stop struggling. -Let go!
-Heave-ho. -Heave-ho. There you go!
-Stop moving. -Let go of me!
Rape, assault, fraud, arson, murder…
Why do you think these crimes are punishable by law?
Why is it that they are prohibited by law?
That's because they are part of human nature.
Left to our own devices,
humans will rape, steal, and kill each other.
That's just who we really are.
But there are no laws here.
Isn't it a waste to not do all these things?
Such human nature empowers us!
Stop fucking around.
The fun is just beginning.
I guess it's time to say goodbye to this, too.
Don't you feel sorry for him? Arisu, I mean.
Feel sorry?
Yes.
I feel really sorry for him.
Is there anything we can't do in order to survive?
If you're so worried, then you should help him, Kuina.
Don't tell me…
Stop right there!
Seriously?
Thank you for staying at Seaside Paradise Tokyo.
As a token of our appreciation,
we will now commence a game for all the guests in the hotel.
