Everyone else stays silent, including Gi-hun, who’s usually the first to speak up for a bit of humanity. His plea to get nine of the remaining 16 players to vote in favor of ending the game doesn’t get that far as Sang-woo berates and shuts him down. Although this is the most dialogue we’ve gotten from the man in charge, his mask hides whatever his true feelings for the VIPs might be.īack at the dorm, the husband (069) attempts to start a vote to end the game, the first vote call since episode two. But once the VIPs show up, Front Man is pulled away to play host. He also knows the intruder is a cop, thanks to Jun-ho’s discarded badge. He knows that Jun-ho must still be in his apartment (through such a minute clue) and searches for him with military precision. Meanwhile, Front Man juggles searching for Jun-ho and greeting the VIPs. Deok-su’s face fills with rage as she gloats, setting the former lovers up for a showdown. While everyone else was beating their most trusted allies, the “weakest link” lounged in bed. Surprise, she survived! Playground rules save the odd player out - if you don’t get picked for a team, you don’t have to play.
The players are still dazed as they enter the dorm after the previous game and are greeted by a peacefully sleeping Mi-nyeo. It’s also a reminder that Jun-ho is still sneaking around, which provides a bit of hope that this operation could still get taken down. While the setup is stark, it reveals the episode’s overall purpose: an introduction to the horrible, wealthy men this organized homicidal tournament is meant to entertain. The camera zooms out after the box closes and cuts to a monitor in the control room as the Front Man gets a call that the titular spectators will soon arrive. Episode seven is called “VIPS,” and it begins with a close-up of Ali’s face before the gift-box casket closes on him.
