[footsteps approaching]
These cookies taste better.
Hey,
would you mind telling me what my symbol is?
[Chishiya inhales]
That guy you hang out with?
You should know that he's a murderer.
-What? -[Chishiya] His name's Sunato Banda.
It was in the newspaper.
Murdered four women, so, that makes him a serial killer.
And, you know, that's punishable by death.
That's a filthy lie.
[Chishiya] No. It's true.
Know what I think?
I think he's the Jack of Hearts.
[gasps]
There's only five of us left.
Time is running out,
so the Jack's gonna start to get aggressive now.
Might as well share symbols.
For the moment, you're in a good position.
The Jack still trusts you.
So if anyone is going to lie to the Jack,
it has to be you.
Which means
this game can only end one way.
The key player here is you.
[draws breath]
I'm sure this is a lot, and you don't trust me yet.
For what it's worth, there's no advantage for me to lie,
so I'll tell you the truth about your symbol.
Don't you wanna make sure that Banda's telling you the truth?
What makes you think that I would trust you over him?
[Chishiya] You don't have to if you don't want to.
If I were in your shoes, I'd want to weigh my options.
And I've got no reason to lie to you.
Banda's a murderer, and that's a fact.
I still don't trust you.
Fine.
You'll see for yourself, once the next round is over.
You're a spade, just so you know.
So, will you tell me mine?
Come on. I told you what yours is.
I never agreed to this deal.
Heart.
[lively cello music]
What's happening?
I think the Jack of Hearts is…
is that guy right there.
I thought he was suspicious too.
Well, don't worry.
He'll die this round. You can trust me on that.
[tense, dramatic music]
[man] That kid Banda.
He's the one we need to watch out for.
You know that emo kid who lied first to kill that big guy?
Banda's the one who convinced him to lie to the man.
-I saw him do it. -Huh?
He whispered in his ear.
Banda looks innocent, but he's got no actual empathy for anyone else.
He can only process human emotion through logic and reason.
[sighs]
He's certifiably psychopathic.
He's the Jack of Hearts. I'm sure of it.
[theme music]
[sighs unsteadily]
There are only five of us left,
and unfortunately, my partner's dead.
I asked that guy Matsushita what my symbol is,
but he told me he doesn't trust me,
and I'm pretty sure that he lied to me.
Sort of a hunch, I guess.
So, would you mind telling me what my symbol is?
I know this is kind of a big ask.
But if you want, I promise to tell you your symbol in exchange.
I… don't mean to presume,
but you strike me as an honest person, at least from over here.
[breathing unsteadily]
Also, that Yaba guy strikes me as a bit of a conman,
and since you're aligned with him, I thought you should know.
Let me get right to the point.
Are you the Jack of Hearts or not?
I'll only say this.
I might be the Jack of Hearts,
but the fact that you're bringing it up means it could be you.
[chuckles]
[zips up]
I know one thing. You and I will never get along.
[Chishiya] Your symbol
is a heart.
Now, what about mine?
It's a club, right?
[breathing unsteadily]
[running away]
These taste better, you know.
[Chishiya] Five people left, and only two pairs.
The Jack's definitely going to make a move this round.
[Matsushita] Yeah…
[chuckles]
I guess that this is the last round.
[breathing shakily]
[Yaba] Heart.
Thank you very much.
Diamond.
Spade.
All right, and now it's my turn.
Spade.
[computer over PA] It is time to answer.
Please enter a solitary confinement cell of your choosing.
[creaking]
-[slam echoing] -[lock clicks]
I bet Matsushita lied to me.
I'm sure he did.
And Kotoko, she totally ignored me.
Meaning that… it's a diamond,
or a spade, right?
[sighs] Hmm.
Ah, well…
I'll go with my gut.
[tense, dramatic music]
[computer] Please give your answer.
[explosion echoing]
I won.
Huh! [laughs]
[door opens]
I had a feeling you were the Jack of Hearts.
But how did you…
You teamed up with Banda from the start,
and he's a murderer, so it just made sense.
We should be a team.
[Chishiya] Even if somehow,
you were moved by Banda's little monologue,
I knew you wouldn't trust him.
You don't trust strangers. And certainly not as fast as that.
[door opens]
[Banda] Most people won't even talk to a guy like me.
But you wanted to kill me.
I could sense that in you right away.
So I wanted to see if you were smart, or just stupid,
or whether you were a true psychopath.
You mean…
You thought you were controlling me this whole time.
But I was manipulating you into thinking that way.
Ultimately, it was your huge superiority complex that gave you away.
[Chishiya] That kind of self-importance usually comes
from being put in a special position.
Something that made you feel untouchable.
Like being chosen as the Jack.
You guys are wrong about this.
-Banda is the Jack of Hearts! -[Yaba] Sorry, kid.
It's not Banda.
You and Kotoko were connected.
I told Kotoko what her symbol was.
And yet, she still died.
Which means Kotoko was being manipulated by someone other than me.
Well, then,
you should be accusing this guy instead.
Every time I went to the cafeteria,
you and Kotoko would always be there, getting snacks at the same time.
[woman 1] This break couldn't come soon enough.
-[man 1] I don't… -[woman 1] I'm scared. Aren't you?
-[man 2] When you trust… -[woman 1] I don't know what's going on.
I don't know if I can keep doing this.
[woman 2] You can trust me.
[woman 1] Every time I get through it, I think, "I made it."
[Chishiya] And each time,
you'd get the exact same kind of snack.
You and Kotoko were secretly communicating in the cafeteria.
Spade.
Both of you were just pretending that you were being controlled.
There were four different flavors of the snack.
You would confirm your symbols by checking the packaging,
using those snacks as a code with each other.
I caught on pretty quickly.
[Yaba] And then,
you told Kotoko to give me the wrong symbol.
Diamond.
[Yaba] I really did trust her.
Except at the end.
[gasps]
When did the three of you guys start working together?
Well, the very first announcement said
that this game is about how much we can trust one another.
So we simply followed that principle.
In order to gain someone's trust, you can't
control, or manipulate, or guide them in any way.
You can't brainwash or hypnotize them,
lie to them or instill fear.
It's called equality.
I know one thing.
You and I will never get along.
[Banda] Tell me.
I want to know
why you're here playing the games in this country?
I'll tell you why I'm here.
I've never seen a place more beautiful than this one.
I'm here because I…
because I believe that this world is a place that is worth conquering.
Well, then, you and I might be more alike than you think.
[Yaba] I'm starting to get that feeling too.
Trust is the most important thing in this game.
We'll be good for each other.
Intellectual equals, and trustworthy partners.
Wait a sec. What makes you so sure it's me?
The Jack of Hearts could easily be one of you guys.
Okay, maybe I did try to blame everything on you by setting you up, but look!
But that's not enough, huh?
You guys don't have any proof that I'm the Jack of Hearts, huh?
-[Chishiya] You sure about that? -Huh?
Just think about it.
If they suspected that you were the Jack, then why did you survive this last round?
Why didn't Banda lie? Tell you the wrong thing?
The reason you're still alive is because you're the Jack.
And these guys planned to keep you alive
because they decided they wanna get information out of you.
[footsteps]
[breathing shakily]
-[PA chimes] -[computer] Round 14, start.
[grunts]
What are you doing?
[panting]
There have been so few opportunities
to really get to talk to the citizens of this place.
We need you to tell us the ins and outs of this country.
[gasping]
[Banda] I'm sorry that we won't be able to kill you, but…
there are a lot of other ways to have fun.
[whimpering]
[screams]
[low rumbling]
[sighs]
[Yaba] We didn't get very much out of him.
[Banda] I can't believe he just gave up like that and said the wrong answer,
even though we told him what the real answer was.
He certainly gave up faster than I expected.
Hmm. Yeah.
[projector whirring]
My name is Kaito Kameyama.
-[woman] Fireworks… -[Ann] I'll try to get out.
[yelling]
[man 1] It's lots of fun here.
There are no laws, so we can loot and kill as we please.
When I play the games,
It's like,"I don't fuckin' care!"
Total freedom. Oh yeah!
[mumbling]
It feels pretty great.
I hate it here.
That's why I'm smoking weed…
[giggling] …and just flipping out!
[Kaito] What is this world?
What are these games?
Who's behind all of this?
-[gasping] -[man 2] You guys are fucking crazy.
I'm gonna kill you!
[yells]
Hey! Stop filming and help me here!
-[gasping] -It's okay!
What the fuck are you doing?
-Come here! I'm gonna kill you! -Wait! Don't--
-I'm gonna-- -Hey! Don't!
[Kaito] Life is totally meaningless here.
Human beings are worthless.
Is that what this world is trying to tell us?
Arisu. Do it.
[Arisu] Do we go back where we came from?
[Tatta] Otherwise everyone will die!
[wind whistling]
[Kuina] There.
Thank you.
[Arisu] You know…
when Kyuma and I were talking at the end of the game,
I figured something out.
They were all players to begin with,
and then eventually,
they started making the games themselves.
I mean that…
we might not be able
to ever get home…
even if we beat every single game.
Because…
our world might not even exist anymore.
Which means that…
Tatta sacrificed himself
for nothing.
[breathing shakily]
[sobbing]
That might not be true.
There might still be a way to get back.
I'll keep trying.
I'll keep playing the games.
Tatta won't have died in vain.
[birdsong]
[Usagi] Are you really going?
[Kuina] I'm worried about Ann and Chishiya.
I'm gonna go look for them.
We need more friends if we're gonna take down the King of Spades.
And the more games that we beat,
the closer we'll be to our goal.
[sighs]
Don't worry.
We'll see each other again.
Usagi.
You need to rest.
Arisu. Take care of Usagi.
[wind whistling]
Well, be safe.
[papers fluttering]
[Arisu] You know,
I'd be down with going to a deserted island.
[lively buzz of voices]
I'd be down with zombies showing up in Shibuya.
Everyone here gets bitten, and they all turn into zombies!
-[chuckles] -Stop it with the zombie talk, will ya?
If zombies did show up here, only Karube would survive.
-You'd knock 'em out with one punch. -[chuckles]
I doubt that.
You'd be the one to survive, Arisu.
Me? Why's that?
Because I know you'd outsmart 'em.
[sniffles]
[Karube] What?
Why are you acting like your life is over?
Huh?
Why are you making that face? You look like it's the end of the world.
I was wondering what was on your mind. [chuckles]
So fuckin' stupid. [laughs]
Is your life so pathetic
that getting a job will be the end of the world for you?
[Chota] Don't worry so much.
Use your dad's connections.
Just do whatever you have to do and leave the deep thoughts for later.
Arisu,
sometimes life seems like it's at a dead end,
but there's always another path you can take, even when things go wrong.
-Huh? -[Chota laughs]
Not really convincing coming from a part-time bartender, though.
[Karube] Do you have anything smart to add? I highly doubt it.
[Chota] Let me see…
-See, you got nothin'. -[laughs]
-What you said was still really cool. -Shut up.
-[Chota] Hard to do on the spot. -[Karube] Don't give me your shit.
-[Chota laughing] See? -[Karube] Keep your mouth shut, then.
[panting]
Oh.
Mugwort.
[Usagi sighs]
Hey, do you wanna come hunting?
We don't have any food left.
I managed to pick this,
but we won't survive on plants alone.
[sighs]
Hey!
If you wanna eat meat, then you need to help.
[birdsong]
[whispers] Arisu! Get it!
[Arisu groans]
[sighs]
Arisu, would you get serious about this?
[sighs]
We don't have food for tonight.
[gasps] Arisu, look! Over there!
Ah!
It's there! Look, look!
[thud]
Ah! Aah!
Uh…
Oh, there's one.
[grunts]
-[groans] -[Usagi] Ah, you were so close!
You're terrible at this, you know?
[Arisu grunts]
Shit. [panting]
Huh.
-[Usagi gasps] What? -[Arisu] Over there!
-[grunts] -[Usagi] This way? Oh!
-Usagi, it's there! -Huh?
Ah!
-Arisu! -[grunts]
[Usagi] Oh, shoot!
-[whispers] Arisu, there it is. -[panting]
-[thud] -[Usagi] Ah!
[Arisu] Oh, man. I give up.
[sighs] Damn it.
No meat for you, I guess, huh?
Oh, I'm starving.
[laughs]
[both laughing]
Come on.
[both sigh]
[clanking]
[Usagi gasps]
[metal creaking]
[rattling]
[Usagi gasps]
[Arisu] Are you okay?
Film…
-Huh? -What film?
[Usagi gasps]
[gasps] In here?
[rustling]
[dripping]
[Arisu] He must have been a photographer.
This is eight millimeter film.
Do you watch it with this?
My name is Kaito Kameyama.
For some reason, electronic devices don't work here.
So I'm using this eight millimeter camera to make a record of this place.
To document it.
To figure out what's going on.
[man 1] Lots of fun here.
There are no laws,
so we can loot and kill as we please.
[man 2] When I play the games,
it's like, "I don't fuckin' care!"
Total freedom. Oh yeah!
[laughing]
It feels pretty great.
I hate it here.
That's why I'm smoking weed…
[giggling] …and just flipping out.
[Kaito] It's been 26 days since everyone disappeared.
[panting]
[running water]
Hey, what are you doing?
[Usagi] Ann?
[Kaito] Excuse me, miss. Is there something wrong?
There are a lot more fish now.
The plants are starting to cover everything.
It's like the further we get from the city,
the more that nature is growing rampant.
[Kaito] Is that because all the humans are gone?
Well, sure, that's definitely part of it.
But the plants have been growing way too quickly.
The people that are here all came at different times.
Certain things are rotting more quickly than others.
Time doesn't seem to work the same way here.
[Kaito] Where are you going?
I'm going to try to get out of Tokyo.
I wanna know what's behind all this.
[Kaito] It's been 33 days since everyone disappeared.
I got a tip from a man I ran into.
Apparently, there's a whole community outside of Setagaya.
I'm headed there right now.
[laughter and chatter]
[Kaito] Hi. I came here because I heard a rumor
about someone who has a memory about what happened to us.
Could you take me to them?
Sure, it's just over here.
[Kaito] Do you know what it is they remember?
Do you remember the day you arrived in this world, huh?
[Kaito] Yeah. I think so.
Did you see something in the sky?
-The fireworks? -[Kaito] Fireworks?
Yes, I remember. I saw them.
Yeah, I saw them too.
This way. Come on.
This woman has a pretty crazy story about them. Come on.
She's there. Over there.
This guy wants to hear about the fireworks. Can you tell him?
[woman] Huh?
Oh.
The fireworks.
I have a story about them. Would you like to hear it?
[Kaito] Yes.
[giggles]
I must be the only one who remembers.
[Kaito] Oh?
When I was a little girl,
I had a brain operation,
so they drilled a hole, a little one,
right here into my skull.
Maybe that's the reason.
I'm the only person
who seems to remember everything about that day.
When…
those…
fireworks flew up into the sky…
I saw them.
They flashed,
and they looked real.
But…
but…
they weren't actually--
-[gunshot] -[gasps]
[shouting and gunfire on film]
-[Kaito panting] -[burst of gunfire]
-[man] It's the King of Spades! -[gunfire continues]
[Kaito grunting]
[Kaito gasping]
[panting]
[hyperventilating]
This documentary…
is the only proof that I ever existed.
I'll do whatever I can to keep it safe until it's found.
[groans]
[Usagi gasps]
[both breathing unsteadily]
[gasps]
[rattling]
[rumbling]
[caravan shaking]
[crockery rattling]
What's that sound?
[gasps]
[rumbling intensifying]
[engine roaring]
-[gunshot] -[Usagi yelps]
[gasps] Arisu, this way!
-[gunshot] -Watch out! That way!
[gunfire continues]
Usagi!
-[gasping] -[metal creaks]
[Arisu] Hey!
[burst of gunfire]
[gasps]
[explosion]
-[heavy fire] -[yelping]
[choking]
[rustling]
[footsteps]
Usagi?
Who's there?
Are you a citizen?
Huh?
[Arisu] I guess you're not.
[winces]
Why did you attack me?
You woulda gotten killed if you'd kept running like that.
I told him to leave you behind. We don't need dead weight.
But guess what? He wanted to carry you all the way here.
Who did?
You'd better thank him, Arisu.
How do you know my name?
That's what he called you.
Oh, watch out.
He's in a pretty foul mood since you messed up our plan.
[chuckles]
[wind rustling through leaves]
Aguni?
Hey, newbie.
[theme music]
