Alice in Borderland (2020) s01e03 Episode Script

[gloomy music]
That woman
I killed her.
[sighs]
Everyone was forced to play the game.
It wasn't your fault.
What the hell is all this?
Who knows? I know I don't.
But
It amazes me
that I'm willing to do anything
just so that I can survive.
[Usagi] If we didn't want to do that,
we might as well just die.
[suspenseful music]
[music intensifying]
[theme music]
[birds chirping]
My visa ends today.
[sighs]
[marker clicks]
[Shibuki] I worked so hard.
Did everything to get into that company.
I even hooked up with someone I hated.
[exhales deeply]
And I finally got the promotion.
[Shibuki moans]
Saori
I talked to the HR department.
[woman] Cypher Bank Holdings
strongly recommends Saori Shibuki
as the new team leader of AI development.
SPECIAL PROMOTION FOR ASSISTAN
IN THE DEVELOPMENT TEAM
I'll survive this game
and return to my original life.
[Chota] Arisu! Karube!
I can't believe it!
[Chota grunts]
I was so worried
when you guys weren't back this morning.
- It's so good to see you!
- [laughs]
Hey, Chota.
[grunts]
Easy.
Are you hurt?
[groans]
I'm okay.
[Chota] Somebody radioed in?
[Karube] Yeah.
[Karube hissing in pain]
Thanks.
[groans]
If we go to that Beach place,
we might be able to find something.
Like where everyone in the city
disappeared to?
Maybe there's an evacuation shelter.
Maybe everybody's there.
The closest beaches to us are
in Shonan, Izu, and Ito, right?
They're so far.
But we can reach them in time.
So, what do we think?
Should we try going?
My vote is
for now, we trust whoever this is.
And how is Chota supposed to go?
[exhales deeply]
That's a good point.
And our visas
they expire today.
Then we'll have to win the game today
and extend your visas.
Sound good?
Then we'll go and look for
the Beach tomorrow.
I'll go to the Beach.
No matter what happens.
I'll do whatever it takes.
We have to believe there's hope.
[exhales deeply]
[calm music]
[Usagi] It amazes me
that I'm willing to do anything
in order to survive.
If only we could choose to die
on our own terms.
Arisu?
What's the matter?
[breathes deeply]
- Nothing.
- [lighter clicks]
[Shibuki] Say something.
[Arisu] "Say something"? Like what?
[Shibuki] Hm, let's see. Heard any gossip?
- [Shibuki puffs]
- I saw someone die right in front of me.
But I survived.
So what should I say?
That you were glad.
Glad it wasn't you.
I didn't think about that, but
Guess I was.
All I thought about was surviving.
Yeah, I get it. I'll tell you something.
On my very first game day,
everyone died except me.
I didn't wanna die like them.
What I wanted
What I wanted was to survive.
[somber music]
[Shibuki exhales]
[Karube grunts]
And found it!
[sighs]
[somber music]
Please be safe and all right.

[lights clunk]
[sighs]
He's late.
Yeah, should we just go?
No, we wait for Karube.
If we don't join the game,
we could all die.
[scoffs]
Chota, let's go.
They both have days left on their visa.
[Chota grunts]
[approaching footsteps]
[gasps]
[Arisu] Karube!
[panting]
Sorry.
- I needed to get something.
- What do you mean, "sorry"?
Shibuki and I
For us, there's no tomorrow.
Why, what's going on?
Don't be angry.
We're wasting time. Let's go.
Come on.
Thank you.

REGISTRATION IN PROGRESS
CURRENT PARTICIPANTS
[scanner beeping]
[Chota] What is this?
[Arisu] My goggles recognized Chota
and the target cursor turned red.
Yeah, when we look at each other.
It must be a tracking function.
What do they want us to do this time?
[phones chiming]
[announcer] Registration is now closed.
The game will now commence.
Difficulty, Seven of Hearts.
Hearts.
Hearts? Isn't that
[eerie music]
[Nitobe] The suit of the playing cards
usually means
what kind of game it's gonna be.
Clubs is a team battle.
Diamonds is your wits.
And as for Hearts
You play with people's hearts
and you tear them apart.
Seven. Isn't that kinda difficult?
[Shibuki] Hearts are the worst.
[Chota] What do we do?
[phones chiming]
[announcer] Game, "Hide-and-seek".
Rules. One person will be the wolf
and the other three will be the lambs.
A lamb found by the wolf
will become the next wolf
and must hide so that
the wolf does not find them.
Clear condition.
Player who is the wolf at game's end
is the winner.
Time limit, 15 minutes.
When 15 minutes have passed,
the collars fastened to the lambs' necks
will explode.
What?
[Chota] "Explode"?
What does she mean?
Do you know what this means?
Know what?
This means only one player will survive.
What?
We'll play hide-and-seek
Whoever's the wolf
at the end of the game wins.
The other three will be dead.
[shakily]
It's really very simple.
[phones dings]
[announcer] The first wolf is ID number
1000247.
Chota Segawa.
[monitor boings, chimes]
[breathing shakily]
Really?
[announcer] Game time limit.
[beeping]
[announcer] Fifteen minutes, commence.
[timer dings]
[breathing heavily]
Stop it, Chota! If you try to take it off,
the collar might explode!
- I don't care!
- [Arisu] Stop it!
Leave me alone!
[scanner beeps]
[monitor boings, cheering]
Arisu?
[scanner beeps]
[monitor boings, cheering]
[Arisu] When we lock eyes,
the wolf role is passed on.
That's the catch in this game.
If the wolf doesn't survive,
it's because the lambs killed it.
What do we do, Arisu?
[scanner beeps]
It's bullshit!
[scanner beeps]
[monitor boings, cheering]
[intense music]
[Chota] Shibuki!
The one that needs to hide
in this game is the wolf!
- Are we going to die?
- [Karube] You will if you do nothing.
But I'll be fine.
Shibuki!
[both] Karube!
[Karube yelling]
[panting]
Stop running!
[screams]
[Karube] Shibuki!

[whimpers]
- [Chota] Can you read me, Shibuki?
- [panting]
[Karube] Shibuki!
[Chota] Stop running.
Let's think of a way out of this together.
[Shibuki whimpering]
I'm sorry.
I'm sorry.
- [screams]
- [thuds]
[sobs, pants]
There's no point apologizing now, huh?
Huh?
- Turn around!
- [Shibuki whimpering]
[Chota] Stop it, Karube!

Arisu!
Both of you, enough! Stop it!
If we work together,
we might be able to figure this out!
You're so naive, this is a Hearts game!
[grunts]
- [grunts]
- [groans in pain]
[Chota] What's happening to us?
[groans]
[Chota] You're turning against each other!
Damn you, Arisu!

[sobs]
[Karube growls]
[Karube] Arisu!
[shakingly]
O Holy Mother
Please forgive us
- for our mortal sins.
- [Karube] Arisu!
Our smiles are the light of hope.
And you, Holy Mother, appear to us
when we smile.
[Karube grunts]
O Holy Mother
- Please forgive us
- [Karube] Arisu!
for our mortal sins
Our smiles are the light of hope.
And you, Holy Mother, appear to us
when we smile.
[Chota sobbing]
[Chota] O Holy Mother
Our smiles are the light of hope.
The Holy Mother will appear when we smile.
[tense music]
[grunts]
[Shibuki] Do you want to live or die?
All I need is some time!
I'll think of a way
to get out of this game!
[Shibuki] You'll think of a way out, huh?
You just want to be the only survivor.
It doesn't matter to you if you're dead.
Make me the wolf.
Your life is shit anyway!
[panting]
Where's the justice when someone
who has the desire to live dies?
[Karube] Arisu.
We can't all survive in this game!
[breathing heavily]

[both grunt]

[Shibuki] Stop!
[suspenseful music]
- [both grunting]
- Let me go!
I took care of you!
You don't know
what your friends really are!
[Shibuki] Let me go!
Let me go!
- [Chota] O Holy Mother
- [Shibuki] Let me go!
[suspenseful music]
[announcer] Eight minutes remaining.

[Karube] Arisu!
[pants]
Where are you, Arisu? Come out!
[growls]
[Arisu] Come on, damn it.
[Karube] You're just gonna hide
until time runs out?
[Arisu] Ugh, shit!
[Karube panting]
[Karube] Come on, Arisu.
- You were playing us all.
- [Arisu grunts]
[Karube] And you said
it'll work out if we cooperate.
From the very start of this,
you wanted to be the only survivor!

I'm sorry!
[Karube] Ha!
What's the use of saying sorry?
Arisu!
[grunts]
In the end, that's
all you ever do.
[groans]
[Karube] Ever since
you dropped out of school
[Karube grunts]
[Karube] All you do is say sorry!
- [Karube] Arisu!
- I'm sorry.
[sobbing]
I'm sorry!
I'm sorry.
[Kenji] Congratulations
on your acceptance, Hajime.
You really accomplished something.
I know your mother would be happy too.
And this is just the beginning.
I'll see it through.
I don't want to end up like Ryohei.
I can't teach Ryohei anything,
but you're different.
Inside you, there's ambition.
You're very different from your brother.
Ryohei, why don't you come over
and join us?
[whirring on phone]
[Karube panting]
If you're happy being a loser
[Karube pants]
[Karube] then let me be the wolf!

I don't care who survives in the end.
But

[Emi] Is this about Arisu and Chota again?
[somber music]
[soft chuckle]
You know, you really are very kind.
[laughs]
[somber music continues]
[sniffles]
[Arisu sobs]
[Kenji] I don't expect anything from you
and you never fail to disappoint me
in that regard.
So, did you

[Chota, Arisu, Karube laughing]

This noodle is so good!
[laughs]
You look like you can't eat noodles
[all laughing, cheering]
[Chota] Come on, man!
[Arisu] Come on, Karube, faster!
[soft chorale music]
[sobbing]
[Karube] Guys.
I got this dream.
I wanna buy a huge farm in Australia.
Then I'll invite you guys over,
and we'll drink beer in the morning.
[laughs]
[Chota] That sounds nice!
And I'll deliver
triple grade-A steaks to you
with my drone delivery service.
My drones will be fully automated,
I'll develop an app for them!
[laughs]
[Karube] All right then.
Cheers to our future.
[Chota] Cheers!
[Karube] You better keep your promise,
you hear?

When I'm with you guys,
I forget about all my problems.
[Karube] Hey, do you guys remember?
That fricking hot day
when we made noodles with shaved ice?
Karube, where are you?
Karube!
[somber music]
We laughed a lot that day, didn't we?
[laughs]
Chota?
Chota laughed so hard
that noodles came out from his nose.
[laughs]
I thought we said
we'd keep that our secret.
Where are you, Chota?
