Alice in Borderland (2020) s01e08 Episode Script

- 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.
Kill 'em all.
I
I can't do this anymore.
We've got no choice.
We'll never be the same again
after killing so many people.
Did you hear me?
Anyone who defies me here is the witch.
Just shoot me then!
That's enough!
This ends now!
You
You had me tied up the whole time.
When the murder 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 kill 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, shoot 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 killing 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 killed
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 killed my friends.
You're not dumb.
But as soon as you took over,
you wanted to kill 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 guns,
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 kill 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
died 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 kill them, I see it.
You killed your friend.
I see it in your eyes.
And now you just wanna kill 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 kill 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 kill 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 shit!
I'm the witch!
You all wanna kill 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!
Kill 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 knife.
That means
that Momoka grabbed
the handle of the knife
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 kill 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 kill you!
You are dead.
I'll kill 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 died.
I don't think I
can ever forgive them.
- Let me go!
- You can't.
But they
They killed '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 killed 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 died.
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 died.
Because of us,
many people die every day.
I can't take this anymore.
We kill 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 killed 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 died?
Do you remember
the ones who were shot in the head?
That girl you burned 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.
