(The Time Hotel)
(The stupidest excuse is that "there is no time to do.")
(From Edison)
The morning sun.
(John Park, Hong Jin Ho)
The weather is amazing.
Gosh, it's so sunny today.
The auction. The lowest bid.
- But... - I think today,
a lot of people will bluff.
Don't you agree? "I'll put down 100,000 dollars."
"I'll put down 10,000 dollars or 100,000 dollars." Like this?
(Ten thousand dollars? A hundred thousand dollars?)
All right. Let me tell you about this game.
- It's No-Limit Jewelry Auction. - No-Limit Jewelry Auction?
Yes. We're bidding all hypothetically.
But we still have to win the jewelry...
by bidding.
(Last night, in the suite...)
(The VIP guest, Hwang Je Seong, spent 10 hours and 10 minutes)
(Four kinds of jewelry will be submitted...)
(to be auctioned off in each round.)
The points vary from 1 to 4.
Let's say you have the winning bid.
(The player with the highest points will win the game.)
So you must get as many points as you can.
(Once your time limit is up,)
(the player with the highest bid will be revealed.)
(The player who spent the most amount of money...)
(will be considered to have gone bankrupt.)
(This player won't be able to win.)
And the player who spent...
the most amount of money will go bankrupt.
- Regardless of the jewelry I have? - You'll just go bankrupt.
- I'll just go bankrupt? - Yes.
They will reveal...
the accumulated bid prices after every four rounds.
And the player with the lowest bid in each round loses a point.
The player who submits the lowest bid.
In other words, to win this game,
your winning bids must be only slightly higher than the other bids.
There are two factors that can make you face elimination.
Going bankrupt. Or submitting the lowest bids.
- Losing a lot of points. - Losing points.
- The bid prices... - The first four rounds...
will be the most important, right?
In my opinion,
we'll probably have to play individually.
- What? - It has to be an individual match.
It's practically an individual match.
Then there's no way we can team up.
(Will this be an individual match?)
(Joo Eon Kyu)
- A warm cup of Americano, please. - Yes.
- Sure. - And some ice, please.
Sure.
(Room 202, Je Seong and Hyun Kyu's room)
(Room 203, Eon Kyu's room)
Should I...
Do I have to trust Hyun Kyu?
In the beginning of the show, Hyun Kyu...
kept playing double agent against me.
I have a hard time trusting him.
And since he shares the room with Je Seong,
he must talk to him a lot more.
(Eon Kyu is torn between Rooms 202 and 203.)
- Are you there? - Yes.
- You're here alone, right? - Pardon?
(Eon Kyu and Hyun Kyu are still on bad terms.)
I really don't have much time left.
How many hours do you have left?
It looked like everyone was running out of time.
- I don't have any time to spend. - What?
I can't afford to spend any time.
(Joo Eon Kyu)
Do you have time left? How much time do you have left?
- Me? I have about 15 hours left. - Yes.
Fifteen hours?
(Kim Hyun Kyu, 25 hours and 50 minutes)
- About 15 hours. - That's a lot.
I can't buy food.
I think you'll be safe...
as long as you have eight hours left.
I only have enough time for the game.
(Eon Kyu is hanging by a thread.)
I doubt that anyone has over ten hours.
- No, they must have more than that. - Really?
I'm sure a lot of them have more than that to spare.
I bet CHLOE has more than ten hours to spare.
- Really? - She took over Ji Yeon's time.
(Remaining time that can be spared)
- Right. - Yes.
(CHLOE is sleeping soundly.)
(The hallway on the 1st floor)
(CHLOE, 18 hours and 40 minutes)
(She wakes up.)
- Hey. - Hi.
I heard people talk earlier. So I came here.
And they're all outside.
They went out for a smoke.
(Far away)
When there are only 5 or 6 players,
we're bound to be on our own.
I think I can get her to join me.
As long as she and I can help each other,
getting her on my side won't be a bad idea.
- I'll explain it briefly. - Okay.
Today... It's an auction.
It's an auction.
And there are going to be many rounds of auctions.
We won't play with John in the next game.
And we each bid. We make a bid.
But there's no limit.
So...
you can't share information.
And it's all about reading people.
That's all I know.
And I think that's it.
I wasn't the VIP guest.
I wasn't in any place to share such valuable information...
like that without his permission.
Just enjoy your lunch. And rest up.
An auction?
- Hey, you're here. - Hello.
When did you get here, CHLOE?
- Hi. - A while ago.
Will you let us tag along?
- What? - You guys?
- Yes. - Do you want to follow us?
- I don't think it will matter. - Hyun Kyu, is that what you want?
What do you think? You can decide, Je Seong.
There he is.
- Good morning. - Hello.
Hey. Did you sleep well?
Yes. I slept well.
- You slept well? - Yes.
- Good. - Gosh.
Good.
(Let's go.)
Did you drink something?
No.
You don't need to drink anything?
(Worrying about the youngest who's still growing)
I ran out of the water I had bought.
- Really? - Yes.
- CHLOE. - Yes?
Do you want to have a meeting with me?
- Sure. - Okay.
Let's go to my room.
(Eon Kyu only invites CHLOE.)
- About what? - What is it?
I need to talk to you.
(Following)
I'm hungry.
Is Eon Kyu still suspicious of me?
Is he still uncomfortable around me?
No?
- CHLOE. - Yes.
If things go well, I can be the VIP guest.
- You can be the VIP guest? - Yes.
I spent ten hours.
- I bought ten bottles of water. - Already?
Look. I bought ten bottles of water...
- last night. - You did?
(After the birthday party the night before)
- I'll order 20 bottles of water. - Okay.
- Twenty bottles? Okay. - Yes.
Let me help you with the payment.
I decided to be the VIP guest.
To become the VIP guest, I will do everything I can.
(Day 1, lunch)
(Day 1, dinner)
(Day 5, lunch)
(Day 3, dinner)
Thanks for the food.
- Can I deduct 20 hours then? - Yes.
(He has been saving for this moment!)
(Surprised)
Wait. Did I miscalculate this?
Did you deduct it twice?
I think I can only afford to buy 15 bottles to stay in the hotel.
Or I'll have to check out of here.
- Let me look into that. - Refund me for the five bottles.
- I'll see if I can refund you. - Yes.
Okay.
You will run out of time before the game tomorrow.
So you can only buy ten bottles of water.
- Is that so? - Yes.
I will have to refund you for five more bottles of water.
I guess I don't have a choice.
- Okay. - Let me tell you one more thing.
I was informed spending ten hours would be cutting it close for you.
They advised you to only spend nine hours.
I'll spend ten hours. I'll borrow an hour from someone.
- I see. So you want 10 bottles? - Yes, give me 10 bottles.
- Okay. - Okay.
I'll order ten bottles of water.
- I'll refund you for the rest. - Yes.
I'll have to check out if I spend that much?
(He can be quite reckless.)
I want to take them when there aren't people around.
You should leave them here and go home.
I'll secretly take them.
(Everyone went back to their rooms.)
What? You're still here.
- Gosh, I feel awful. - It's all right.
Ten hours...
That's 50,000 dollars, right?
(He regains his sense of finances.)
The water I made
- But the other players... - CHLOE, drink some.
- Really? One will be enough. - Yes.
- Take one more if you want. - Goodness.
If you need something, give me the time.
- Yes, I'll do that next. - Yes.
Sounds good.
After tomorrow, it will be the final.
I bet tomorrow will be the last day that they tell us...
- about the rules in advance. - Right.
- After that... - So this will be an important move.
- So... - That will be the best.
can you give me five hours?
- Sure. - Now?
I can,
- Really? - Yes. I have some time to spare.
To become the VIP guest,
I had to spend a lot of time.
But knowing that he already spent ten hours on water,
I thought making him into the VIP guest would be better.
- And I heard about today's game. - Yes.
- I'll tell you now. - Okay.
- It's going to be an auction. - Okay.
- But there's no limit. - Okay.
You can bid as much as you want.
- We should win the bids... - We have to...
without spending too much money.
- It was about reading people? - Yes.
Then the bids won't be revealed.
(Inhaling)
Eon Kyu...
When we were walking up the stairs,
it felt like...
Eon Kyu was deliberately ignoring me.
So,
I wasn't sure what to do.
I should clear this up.
Eon Kyu, can we talk for a second?
You completely distrust me now, right?
- Yes. - None of what happened...
last night was my fault, yet you distrust me.
Yes. For now.
You responded and broke up the group,
and you don't think any of it is your fault,
and you think I'm the one who distrusted you first.
- Yes. - You drew...
a certain line between us.
It's an individual match today,
but when we need to cooperate, you don't plan on working with me.
Not at the moment.
All right.
You asked me to tell you, so I did.
- Right. - You asked me first.
- Yes. - And I kept my promise.
Seriously?
Of course, I did. How can I better convince you?
I was so annoyed.
I thought, "What does he think of me?"
"How far do I have to go?"
He never stopped distrusting me...
and insisted that he was right.
It's an individual match today, so I'll do it by myself.
- That's all I have to say. - Okay.
I've kept my promises.
I had this malice.
So, I must decide who to side with...
to survive today.
I'll try and persuade Je Seong to work with me...
since we're roommates.
I'm afraid of delivering your messages.
You're not trying to intensify the confusion, are you?
I'm not. I won't do that today. Not at all.
I made my position clear with Eon Kyu.
About what? That you're parting ways?
Yes, we're parting ways.
He said that he still distrusted me.
I'll have to survive.
- Give me four bottles. - Okay.
I'll give them for free.
I was thankful that he shared information with me.
And I had water.
So I thought...
that I might survive.
Don't give me the time.
- I should. - It's really fine.
Let's call it a price for information.
- No. - I'd feel more at ease.
I wasn't trying to get paid.
I wouldn't sell this information for 40 minutes.
Right?
Yes. I told him everything about what we knew.
We're going to need a reference point.
- Right. - We need that.
Based on that, we set up the range.
But there's no range.
It's from 1 to 1 billion.
I think there will be rules or items...
that can mess with others.
Maybe I should withdraw some time.
I think you should...
get extra time prepared.
About 3 to 4 hours?
I can spend that much.
Is the restaurant open? Let's go.
(Meanwhile, Eon Kyu and CHLOE are...)
- Today... - It's the same menu.
- But they're more expensive. - What are they?
Pork neck kimchi stew, bulgogi...
(Pork neck kimchi stew, soybean paste stew with beef)
(It's a little expensive.)
And short rib soup.
They're too expensive.
That's fine.
What do you want? Bulgogi?
Should we? I'd like that.
I'll get the single side dish set. You can get bulgogi.
Sure.
(As long as you're full, CHLOE.)
I realized it during lunch.
Eon Kyu might become the VIP today.
We'll have bulgogi and the single side dish set.
I'll pay for both.
(Bulgogi, 1 hour 50 minutes, single side dish set, 1 hour)
(VIP Competition)
(Eon Kyu is way ahead.)
(The guests gather at the restaurant.)
Let's eat.
(The guests gather at the restaurant.)
I'll eat short rib soup.
You're flexing?
(Short rib soup?)
I have to spend it while it lasts.
I can still survive.
I'll get bulgogi.
I want bulgogi.
I'll have bulgogi.
- I'll pay for short rib soup. - Yes, sir.
I'll pay for it.
(They ordered their food in an instant.)
(Calculating)
(Eon Kyu and CHLOE, 13 hours and 50 minutes)
(Jin Ho, Je Seong, and John, 8 hours)
- Can I send you two hours? - If you want to start a war.
They let John pay for all their food.
One short rib soup and a few other dishes...
felt like over ten hours already.
I'm going to spend some today.
I'm going to be today's VIP.
"What VIP?"
"I've failed."
"Can I get my water refunded?" I even thought that.
When I won the poker championship,
I had short rib soup before I won.
- Today... - This is very good for me.
- It must be. - Do you want to win today?
I always do.
You're going to win today?
Today, tomorrow, and the day after that.
- Goodness. It looks nice. - It's short rib soup.
That's the one.
- That's a huge benefit. - This is flexing.
- Check this out. - Look at the meat.
It's far better than bulgogi.
Short rib soup!
(It's worth 2 hours and 30 minutes!)
(Nom)
This one's different.
- Is it? - They're all different.
Give it a try.
- May I try the soup? - Go ahead.
Let's see how deep the flavor is.
It's very deep.
- Is it? - It's 100m deep.
It's from CJ.
(Eon Kyu was eating the single side dish set.)
(Here's meat,)
(and there's meat.)
(Everyone's eating meat.)
- This is so good. - I'm going vegan, starting today.
- Good luck. - It's involuntary.
I might pass out if you touch me.
(VIP Competition)
(John is catching up fast.)
(Taking a tour of the Time Bank after the meal)
I should deposit some to make more money.
(Depositing 4 hours)
Here you go.
(John...)
(and Hyun Kyu also visit the Time Bank.)
(Time Bank, John Park)
Thank you.
(Withdrawing 3 hours)
(Kim Hyun Kyu)
(Depositing 5 hours)
Here you go.
(Current time)
The guests of the Time Hotel,
the Kairos Game will begin soon.
Please gather at the Time Square.
(Remaining time)
(Kim Hyun Kyu, CHLOE, John Park, Hwang Je Seong,)
(Hong Jin Ho, Joo Eon Kyu)
(Sighing)
I must go to meet the scary rabbit.
Let's go and fight with my beloved friends.
Are you motivating yourself?
You always do that when you tie your shoes.
All right.
Eon Kyu.
Yes?
Look forward to today's game.
- Sure. - We're not working together.
- Seriously? - Yes.
Are you giving me false hope, or is it for real?
- When it comes to games, - Yes.
I keep the info from you, but I never lie to you.
Oh, it's for real!
Come out, rabbit.
"Good to see you, everyone. How have you been?"
"Did you sleep well?"
Je Seong, it's not the rabbit. It's the master.
- It was the master? - It's the master?
- The master of this hotel. - The rabbit was the master!
So, the master was giving me time.
Welcome!
Hello, Master.
Welcome!
This time, we're going to play...
a luxurious game that suits you perfectly.
Today's Kairos Game is...
- No-Limit Jewelry Auction. - No-Limit?
(No-Limit Jewelry Auction)
In No-Limit Jewelry Auction,
you can bid as much as possible for the jewel...
to win the jewel.
You get to write imaginary prices...
as if you're the wealthiest person in the world.
In the No-Limit Jewelry Auction, four gems...
will be called for bids in each round.
(Ruby, Sapphire, Emerald, and Diamond)
Win these gems, and the person with the highest score...
wins the game.
I need to win the Diamond.
When one round begins, one gem will be shown.
Within five minutes,
write your bidding price on the slip and submit it.
Your bidding price will not be shown to others.
After the given time, the winner of the gem...
will be revealed.
- It'll be fiercer for higher gems. - Yes.
After all the rounds,
the one with the highest sum of points wins.
But you must be careful of a few things.
(We need to be careful?)
The person with the highest total of bidding prices...
is considered bankrupt,
and the victory is taken away.
So, you can only win...
by winning as many gems as possible at appropriate prices.
That was it.
If two people have the same points,
the one with the lower bidding price total wins.
Then, you would want to bid lower prices.
You may not.
In every round, the one with the lowest bidding price...
loses a point.
So, you must figure out the bidding prices...
of the other guests to decide on yours, right?
You must be wondering how much you can write.
I'll give you a hint.
Every four rounds, the cumulative bid...
will be open to everyone.
Refer to the cumulative bid and figure out the price.
Then, it doesn't count.
If you don't win the bid, it's not added.
How many rounds are there in No-Limit Jewelry Auction?
Sadly, the number of rounds will not be revealed.
It's critical to the game, so not everyone can know.
But use your time to buy items.
The first item is jewelry information.
It tells you the type and number of the next jewelry.
If you know how many gems are left until the end of the game,
you'll be able to plan how much to spend on which.
Jewelry Info will be auctioned...
in the special round.
- No way. - It is...
the same as No-Limit Auction,
but you're bidding your own time on your Time Watch.
- We're doomed. - But...
only the ones who want it will participate.
And there won't be a penalty for bidding the lowest.
The second item, Double Point!
You get double the gem points if you win the bid.
If the guest who has Double Point...
wins the four-point Diamond,
the guest can win eight points!
The guest who went bankrupt for having...
the highest total of bidding prices...
and the guest with the lowest total of gem points...
will be the Checkout candidates.
Now, I will announce...
the prize time of No-Limit Jewelry Auction.
Who will collect the most...
of these beautiful gems?
Good luck to you!
"Good luck!"
(No-Limit Jewelry Auction)
(5 minutes per round, anonymous bidding, and no limits)
Yes. The winner of this gem is...
(The highest bidder wins, and the lowest bidder loses a point.)
(The cumulative bid is announced every 4 rounds.)
The Checkout candidates...
(The guest who went bankrupt for bidding the most amount...)
(and the guest with the lowest gem points are Checkout candidates.)
One of us will definitely survive.
The highest and lowest lose,
so if I protect CHLOE from those, she'll make it.
- CHLOE. - Yes.
I can guarantee that you won't be eliminated today.
How so?
Bid nothing until Round Four.
- Why? - Zero.
- To reduce... - Then, we can get the average...
to figure out what those four bid on.
- Oh, to figure them out. - Yes, those four.
- They'll go for the same one. - Yes.
Or we can keep bidding 50 dollars.
No, bid higher than me.
- A hundred? - Yes, a hundred dollars.
I'll bid 50 dollars for 4 rounds.
- Are you sure? - Yes.
- Seriously? - I'm serious.
- Yes. Promise. - Okay.
Stamp it.
(Making pinky promises)
What's important today is...
the loser can't choose, so we just need to stay in the top four.
- Right. - Don't go bankrupt,
and don't be the lowest bidder. That's the point.
I don't think we have to be so greedy.
The Kairos Game will begin.
We've survived for six days now.
I like today's game.
The Time Hotel, Kairos Game,
No-Limit Jewelry Auction, will begin now.
The article in Round One is...
- Emerald? - the Emerald for three points.
Three points? From the get-go?
Write your bidding price within five minutes and submit it.
Let's see how bold you are.
How much can you spend?
(The Prelude to the Gem War)
May I look at it closely?
- Yes. - I'd like to appraise its value.
It's our anniversary, and I'm getting my wife a ring.
It's quite dusty.
- I see a lot of scratches. - No.
The scratches... They're selling fake gems here.
- They're fake. - How much...
How much are you bidding?
- Me? - Yes.
I'm going to play it safe.
Look.
- This is mine. - Oh, you're showing me.
You know our plan.
(They bid 50 and 100 dollars as they initially decided.)
Did you already write it?
That was fast.
Eon Kyu is certainly good at it.
How much did you bid?
- Five. - Five million dollars?
- Five cents. - Five cents?
- Yes. - Five cents?
He's not telling you.
- What do you think? - I can't figure it out.
Right?
"What if I bid too much..."
"and it becomes irretrievable?"
"Let's not bid too high, just in case."
(John, 250 dollars)
(Hyun Kyu, 750 dollars)
If one of us wins it, let's share the price.
- Sure. - All right?
If you...
Among 6 guests, 4 of them are on our side.
I suggested that we share the winning price.
Because in the end,
I can guess how much money...
can prevent me from going bankrupt.
Here.
I'd like to submit it.
(Everyone submitted their prices.)
Okay.
- I'm not sure. - It's really hard.
It's so hard. I can't guess what price you all wrote.
The result of Round One will be revealed.
(Who will win the first gem?)
The winner of Round One is...
Why am I so nervous?
The winner of Round One is...
(Round 1's winner)
Hong Jin Ho.
(Jin Ho wins the first gem.)
(I see.)
The lowest bidder is Eon Kyu.
At least I got a rock. It's basalt.
I thought that bidding high at first...
was a bad plan.
I wanted to start slow and go from there.
(250, 50, 1,750, 16,500, 100, and 350 dollars)
(Jin Ho bid 330 times more than Eon Kyu.)
How much was it?
In Round 1, I spent 16,500 dollars.
- That much? - Yes.
- Are you for real? - Yes.
(Getting a headache)
The value of gems will rise...
in the later rounds. It's inevitable.
In early rounds, when people still haven't...
figured out how much the gems cost or its lowest price,
I wanted to bid high and take those gems first.
(He won 3 points with a matchless price.)
Round Two will begin.
The article for Round 2 is Diamond for 4 points.
It's four points right away?
Our next price...
- Five hundred? - And a thousand.
You bid 1,000 dollars.
- Sure. - I'll bid 500.
- We just need to know the total. - Right.
(Sighing)
I wonder how they bid.
(A 4-point Diamond...)
I'll use the Double Point.
- Will you use the item? - Yes. I'll pay for it now.
- The price is one hour. - Okay.
- We'll take one hour. - Yes.
To win a game, you save up as long as possible...
and precisely take your target.
I wanted to get Diamond with Double Point.
- I'll use Double Point. - John.
I'll use Double Point.
John.
I just bought it.
(Laughing)
- I bought it. - Sorry.
You wanted the gem all to yourself!
You punk! How much did you bid?
How high is it?
- We'll take one hour. - Okay.
- Did you get it? - Yes.
You should have talked about it. You're going to end up competing.
It happens. He may have wanted Diamond.
- But he was quite cocky. - Sorry.
I thought, "I'm going to teach you a lesson."
Can I win it if I bid 22,000 dollars?
I think you can.
I can't seem to write it.
Or add 500 dollars to it.
If you write the same price, you both lose.
(If the highest bid is the same, the next bidder wins it.)
(John, 22,500 dollars)
(A fierce war of nerves to win Diamond)
Okay. Let's give it a go.
We will reveal the result of Round Two.
"No one can have it. It's mine."
"I'll show you that I'm a bigger man than you are."
We will reveal the result of Round Two.
The winner of Round Two is Je Seong.
The lowest bidder is Eon Kyu.
(Sighing)
(He won 8 points, thanks to Double Point.)
How much did you write just now?
He bid so much.
He lost his mind.
We promised to start small at first.
One guy bids 10,000 dollars, and the other guy bids 50,000.
They were going rogue.
I should teach him a lesson.
I've also survived numerous battles.
- General Hwang was rich, after all. - Right.
Well, I've always been wealthy.
Round 3, it's Ruby for 1 point.
That was too high.
- Yes. - Right? It was too high.
You spent too much.
Come on. I paid much more than the market value.
That was a total rip-off.
But who knows?
(John, 2,550 dollars)
(Jin Ho, 3,500 dollars)
Ruby. One point?
- I'll bid 5,000 dollars. You can... - Okay.
Ten thousand?
- Wait. Let me think. - It's okay.
- How? - Bid 10,000 dollars.
I just want to know when I'm going under.
Or you can bid 1,000.
(They try to figure out the lowest bid first.)
(5,000 dollars)
(10,000 dollars)
We will reveal the result of Round Three.
(These four don't have any gems yet.)
(Who will win it?)
The winner is...
(The winner of Round 3)
Kim Hyun Kyu.
(The winner of Round 3, Kim Hyun Kyu)
Hey, Hyun Kyu. You know how to spend, don't you?
(He's pretty good.)
The winner of Round Four is Hyun Kyu.
(Hyun Kyu won it again?)
How much did he spend?
Though they were winning, I wanted to catch up.
I just needed to be in the top four.
(He won Rounds 3 and 4 with 15,000 dollars each.)
Did you listen to his bid?
That's pretty high.
I thought it'd be under 10,000. They were low-point gems.
The lowest bidder in Round Three is Je Seong.
The lowest bidder in Round Four is Eon Kyu.
(The 4-person alliance won all the gems in 4 rounds.)
Eon Kyu...
will have a hard time if he doesn't start winning.
(The 2-person alliance won no points.)
- What was the lowest bid? - I'll tell you.
I bid 2,000.
Now the market price has gone up.
- It can't get any lower than that. - Right.
It's risky if the lowest bid goes up too soon.
We will now reveal the cumulative bid to Round Four.
Here it comes. How much is it?
(What is the cumulative bid...)
(of 4 rounds?)
It's 96,500 dollars.
(Cumulative bid: 16,500 dollars, 50,000 dollars, 30,000 dollars)
(Cumulative bid: 0 dollars, 0 dollars, 0 dollars)
It's going to double every four rounds.
Now that the average is out,
everyone will go over the average...
to win the bid.
Just like compound interest.
I think the winning bid will more than double.
(Utilizing full capacity of his brain)
I got it.
Here.
From now on...
I realized the average winning bid.
I thought I should raise the bid...
and make others follow me.
I realized that's why it's called no-limit.
- After Round Four, - After it ends. Yes.
I'll change my strategy.
I think I can get them all now.
Round Five is starting now.
It's Ruby worth one point.
How much do I need to buy Ruby that's worth one point?
(They became more cautious about pricing.)
For goodness' sake.
(But Eon Kyu writes the price confidently.)
Go!
The game is going to be fun.
(13,000 dollars)
(700 dollars)
(10,500 dollars)
I think I can buy it with this amount of money.
We will now reveal the result of Round Five.
(Will his new strategy work?)
I'm curious about the result.
Who's the winner of the fifth round?
Who will it be? I see.
- Joo Eon Kyu is the winner. - I was right.
- The lowest bidder is CHLOE. - Okay.
It's getting fun from Round Five.
Right? It's getting fun.
You might end up bankrupt.
How much did you bid for?
I'm trying to figure out who wrote the most. I wrote high too.
- I wrote 13,000 dollars. - I wrote 10,500 dollars.
Did you write a higher number than 13,000?
- No. Yes. - Oh, it's lower?
I wrote 700 dollars.
Eon Kyu wrote a higher bid than 13,000 dollars.
I figured who wrote the highest price...
among us.
That way, we can guess Eon Kyu bid higher than us.
I could predict.
The bid is raised already.
(Predicting the bid to be higher than 13,000 dollars)
The article for Round 6 is Emerald for 3 points.
No.
Let's say the bid is 17,000 dollars.
If it's 33,000 dollars.
I think 33,000 dollars is enough.
There's nothing much that Eon Kyu and CHLOE can do as a team.
I thought I'd never lose.
- Can I buy Double Point? - Yes, you can buy it anytime.
It's dangerous to win this.
- Will you purchase Double Point? - Yes.
- I'll deduct one hour. Yes. - Yes, please.
- Did you purchase Double Point? - Yes.
(Eon Kyu gives a sly grin.)
You can go bankrupt if you'd like to follow me.
(Is it that high?)
Once you write a high bid,
you can never go back.
I have no clue.
- Eon Kyu, tell me one thing. - Okay.
Did you write a high bid or a low bid?
It's not high yet.
It's not high yet?
You haven't made a move yet?
(Laughing)
(Gosh, I have no clue.)
(31,500 dollars, 20,000 dollars)
(30,000 dollars)
(62,000 dollars)
(It is the highest bid ever within the 4-person alliance.)
It's for Hwang Je Seong.
The price of a three-point gem has already soared.
- It wasn't this high back then. - This is difficult.
How much did they write?
How much has the price gone up?
We will now reveal the result of Round Six.
(Will he win two consecutive bids with the same strategy?)
(Will John Park win the bid for the highest price ever?)
- The winner is Joo Eon Kyu. - Oh, gosh.
(Successful bidder: Joo Eon Kyu, Lowest bidder: Kim Hyun Kyu)
My strategy is valid.
- The lowest bidder is Kim Hyun Kyu. - Oh, gosh.
Gosh, Joo Eon Kyu. You're great.
Thank you.
Eon Kyu is rising.
Let's look into it. How much did you bid?
- Did you write 30,000 dollars? - I wrote 60,000 dollars.
But you couldn't buy it?
- Oh, my. - I was right, right?
You have to win a bid to get points.
If you win the bid, the total amount of the bid will go up.
But their alliance...
was too tight.
I thought I'd rather try to raise the bid...
and widen the bid range.
After the 4th round announcement and until the 8th round,
if I get a high bid in the time between,
they will realize how frustrating it is...
to wonder about the unpredictable bid price.
I wanted to take the initiative in the game.
So I raised the price.
(Round 5: 100,000 dollars)
(Joo Eon Kyu, 100,000 dollars)
(Round 6: 100,000 dollars and Double Point)
(By bidding 100,000 dollars consecutively,)
(he won 7 points in 2 rounds.)
(Eon Kyu came up to 2nd place.)
Let's have this battle. Let's do this.
Round Seven is starting now.
The article for Round Two...
(Round 7)
is Sapphire for 2 points.
Who's in last place?
CHLOE?
(She's currently in 6th place with minus 1 point.)
- Anyway, you... - I'll have to win this one.
- You need points. - That'd be better.
Don't write too much.
I hadn't won any bids,
so I was a little nervous.
The bid price will continuously increase.
So I thought I must quickly win the gem.
Eon Kyu currently spent more than more than 60,000 dollars,
and the bid will be higher than 13,000 dollars.
It could be more than that.
At least half his total...
and divide it into two to get a safe price.
Even if you give up first place, you may not be in last place.
Who wrote the lowest bid just now?
- Me. - How much was it?
It was 20,000 dollars.
(You have bid more than 20,000 dollars!)
I personally think CHLOE will do something this time.
How's it going?
I want to use Double Point.
Double Point.
(She's currently in last place, the strongest checkout candidate)
I'll use Double Point.
- Will you purchase it now? - Yes.
The price is one hour.
- I'll deduct one hour. - Okay.
(CHLOE and John Park haven't won any gems.)
I hadn't won any points.
So I thought I must win the points using Double Point.
I'm so nervous because I have nothing.
It's difficult.
We will now reveal the result of Round Seven.
(How will it turn out this time?)
CHLOE!
The winner of Round Seven is...
- CHLOE. - Okay.
(It's CHLOE this round?)
(Sighing)
- See? I was right. - Okay.
I thought...
they weren't bold enough to write 100,000 dollars.
So if she writes 100,000 dollars, she can win.
I told CHLOE to write 100,000 dollars.
(CHLOE, 100,000 dollars)
Sapphire.
The bid is so much higher.
Does two here mean double?
How much should I write?
How much do I need to write?
This is so hard.
Round Eight is starting now.
- Please. - Please.
Please!
- Okay! - The winner of Round Eight is John.
(The highest bid of Round 8 is 57,100 dollars.)
The lowest bidder is Kim Hyun Kyu.
Hyun Kyu.
I'm eating up my points.
Please.
I think the price later on...
will be super high if we have 48 rounds, for instance.
We will now reveal the cumulative bid as of now.
The cumulative bid as of now...
is 453,600 dollars.
It's roughly right, right?
Wait.
Is this right? I'm confused.
This is crazy. How can it be so high all of a sudden?
(The person who started to write 100,000 dollars.)
The winner of Round Five is Joo Eon Kyu.
The winner of Round Six is Joo Eon Kyu.
The winner of Round Seven is CHLOE.
The winner of Round Eight is John Park.
It's 453,600 dollars.
(Cumulative bid of 4 rounds, 96,500 dollars)
(Cumulative bid of 8 rounds, 453,600 dollars)
- It's ridiculously skyrocketing. - Yes.
It's rising too fast.
Let's go.
Now it is unlikely to win...
with 100,000 dollars or 200,000 dollars.
Something is going wrong.
Bidding 100,000 dollars means...
No-Limit Jewelry Auction...
is officially starting now.
(Declaring a war of jewelry)
Round Nine is starting now.
The article for Round 9 is Ruby for 1 point.
Put that away, please.
Just give us diamonds constantly.
Ruby is worth one point, everyone.
Don't manipulate the price of Ruby.
Ruby is actually a bomb in this game.
We can't take Ruby...
and make the bid higher.
- We... - Gosh.
Let's not write a high bid for this.
Let's write something not too low.
- A middle price? - Yes, a middle price.
How about 60,000 or 70,000 dollars?
- Let's do 80,000 dollars. - Yes?
(80,000 dollars)
(70,000 dollars)
Since Ruby is worth one point, let's bid lower, everyone.
- Seriously, give me a break. - Yes.
- For goodness' sake. - Why are you so harsh?
I just hope I'm not the lowest bidder.
Everyone thinks the same.
We will now reveal the result.
The winner is CHLOE.
(I was trying to avoid it.)
Oh, it's CHLOE.
The lowest bidder is John Park.
- Oh, gosh. - For real?
- Seriously? - You'll get one point deducted.
For real?
I wrote a pretty high bid.
I didn't imagine to be the lowest bidder.
I wrote 43,000 dollars.
- Just now? I wrote 70,000 dollars. - Yes.
For goodness' sake.
(John isn't so bold.)
Oh, I see.
I didn't know.
The article for Round 10 is Diamond for 4 points.
Oh, my goodness.
Wait.
I really want Diamond.
It's Diamond worth four points.
(Going after it in 0.1 seconds)
Are you using Double Point?
He went for it immediately.
- Will you purchase Double Point? - Yes.
I'll deduct one hour from you, John.
John, I'll give up.
Tell me your bid amount, and I'll write mine lower than yours, okay?
I'll do the same.
I'll think about it.
- Yes. - Well...
(Since the cumulative bid is more than 4 million dollars,)
(they're already in the millions.)
I'll purchase Double Point too.
- She's going double too. - Here.
- Will you purchase Double Point? - Yes.
- I'll deduct one hour. - Yes.
- Wait. - What's going on?
Things have changed.
- What's going on? - Oh, gosh.
CHLOE, you're going after this?
What? I'm just working hard for it.
I want that Diamond.
I really thought a lot about it.
Diamond's value and price were going to double.
The moment she chose to use Double Point,
I thought I must win this bid.
John, let me know...
- if this amount sounds fine. - Okay.
For me, this is the maximum.
How is it?
Shall I go with this amount?
I think I should go higher.
Go with this.
(Discussing about the bid amount)
This...
- Oh, gosh. - For goodness' sake.
- Is he going to bid that much? - What?
- He's going to bid that much? - I know, right?
(Glancing)
I think it'll be all around this price from now.
(She writes her bid amount after thinking a lot.)
I don't know.
Write it.
(CHLOE hands in her bid first.)
- Well, it is what it is. - Yes.
Let's get it!
Oh, my goodness. You all are seriously...
- I'm at least relieved. - You all are young and rich.
Let's flex.
Hey.
Were you this rich?
- For goodness' sake. - This is nothing.
Is the result out?
We will now reveal the result of Round Ten.
Wait!
I'm curious.
(John lost to CHLOE in Round 7.)
If John, who kept his silence, wins this bid...
he needs to change his name to Persevering John.
Isn't this the last round?
We will now reveal the result of Round Ten.
The successful bidder of the jewelry is...
John.
(John wins Diamond.)
(The winner: John Park, The lowest bidder: Joo Eon Kyu)
(How much did John bid for?)
(He wrote 326,000 dollars!)
I don't think I'll be the winner.
(CHLOE, 100,000 dollars)
I purposely wrote 100,000 dollars so that they'll write a higher bid.
To them, the fact that I used Double Point...
means that I'm bidding a higher amount.
I thought of using this theory to make them go bankrupt.
I think my strategy worked.
It's fine if I lose one hour.
I didn't think it was a taste.
Now, you should...
- keep being in the middle. - Yes.
They used a lot of money.
- Seriously? - They must've bid higher than us.
(John Park, 9 points, 383,100 dollars)
(At risk of going bankrupt)
Round 11 is starting now.
The article for Round 11 is Sapphire for 2 points.
Shall I say I'll use Double Point...
and write a low bid amount to make them go bankrupt?
I can pretend to write a higher bid.
Sounds good.
I'll purchase Double Point.
- Will you purchase the double item? - Yes.
Why is she using Double Point?
- I'll deduct one hour from you. - Okay.
I'll get it this time.
I want to get two Sapphires.
Shall we write 100,000 dollars each?
How about 110,000 dollars and 100,000 dollars?
(110,000 dollars)
(She submits without hesitation.)
Gosh, you're good.
No, no one knows how much others wrote.
I could've written the highest bid.
- It's a good idea, right? - Yes.
It was right to save our time.
Holding out without buying water.
I didn't know there'd be such a nice item.
The item is really nice.
- CHLOE bought Double Point. - Yes.
She'll definitely write more than 100,000 dollars.
- For sure. - If it's 100,000 dollars...
I think it'd be 180,000 dollars or close to 200,000 dollars.
But 200,000 dollars...
She was determined...
to win it by purchasing the item.
So I thought the four of us should write high bids too.
(160,100 dollars)
Is this amount right?
Do I need to buy this with this amount of money?
(90,000 dollars)
(How much did he bid?)
I'm doubting the numbers I wrote.
(He wrote 163,000 dollars.)
How much profit do you make...
from doing business like this?
We will now reveal the result of Round 11.
Let's go. Let's get this.
If I'm the lowest bidder,
- I think I might wet my pants. - Me too.
Same here.
Me too.
We will now reveal the result of Round 11.
(The successful bidder: Kim Hyun Kyu)
- What? - Hwang Je Seong!
You're wetting your pants!
(170,000 dollars)
I won?
(Laughing)
- My predictions were right. - Yes.
Oh, so this is how it'll go?
How much has the price of Sapphire gone up?
(Price fluctuation of Sapphire)
(170,000 dollars)
(It's about 11 times higher than the 1st successful bid.)
Round 12 is starting now.
- Gosh. - It's Emerald.
I want Double Point.
- I'll purchase Double Point. - Will you purchase Double Point?
- Yes, I will. - Will you purchase it?
- Yes. - I'll deduct one hour from you.
Okay.
(She sees Je Seong purchasing an item.)
- Shall I use one too? - Yes.
I think you can use it.
- I'll purchase it too. - CHLOE, you want Double Point too.
I'll deduct one hour from you.
CHLOE, you want to win this?
CHLOE, you'll get it this time?
- Should I? - Yes.
- You should since you used an item. - I think I have a chance.
Yes.
Should I write 120,000 dollars?
Let's make them use their money.
- Let's make them go bankrupt. - Okay.
(It's either I win or they go bankrupt.)
- Did you purchase Double Point? - Yes.
Mr. Hwang is determined this time.
I'll let you take it this time.
Okay. Let's all go down today.
Let's do this.
This is fun.
Look carefully. Come here.
I'll pump them up to make them write a higher bid.
Then we can make one go bankrupt.
(Trying to make the opponent go bankrupt)
This is worth a Rolls-Royce.
Rolls-Royce.
I put in a Rolls-Royce fantom here.
(He parked the Rolls-Royce fantom.)
- But for this round, - Yes.
- it'll be hilarious if Hwang loses. - Yes.
I won't be the lowest bidder, will I?
I'll be shocked if that happens.
I will now reveal the result of Round 12.
No way.
If I'm the lowest bidder, it'll turn out so funny.
I'm so scared.
I can't believe...
that I have to use that much money.
The successful bidder of the jewelry of Round 12 is...
(The successful bidder of the jewelry of Round 12 is...)
Hwang Je Seong.
(The successful bidder: Hwang Je Seong)
(The lowest bidder: Joo Eon Kyu)
I was right.
(He wins 1st place with Double Point.)
Congratulations.
- Thank you. - Congratulations.
- Congratulations. - Yes.
This is what life is. You know, right?
Don't be thrifty.
To help win this game,
I can spend as much money as I want.
I could easily spend 500,000 dollars.
- I was right. - The lowest bidder is Joo Eon Kyu.
I will now reveal the cumulative bid as of now.
(How much more did it cumulate from 453,600 dollars?)
(Cumulative bid: 1,540,600 dollars)
- They're bankrupt. - Yes.
That team is going bankrupt for sure.
(How much time do I have?)
My time is...
The funny thing about this is that it's Round 12,
but we still haven't got a Special Round.
- I know. - How many rounds will we play?
I think we'll go up to Round 20.
This round is a Special Round.
The auction item is Jewelry Information Verification.
(Special Round: Jewelry Information Verification)
- Wait. - People who want to bid,
write the time you'd like to bid...
from the remaining time within five minutes.
- You'll bid, right? - Yes, I will.
I felt like I'd be at a huge disadvantage without this item.
I was sure that I wouldn't go bankrupt with this.
If I can know when the round ends,
I can calculate all the cumulative bids of everyone.
Then I can predict who will go bankrupt.
I can figure out what jewelry is left,
which is the most important information.
I'll check the jewelry with the high point...
and plan a strategy...
according to its quantity.
It's like a cheat code, so it's better to have it.
The person who bids the most time will have it.
- I think we can add up. - How much do you have?
I used two hours to buy the items.
- I have 7 hours. - I have 6 hours.
(Jin Ho: 6 hours 16 minutes, John: 7 hours, 14 minutes)
- We both are... - I bet I have the least amount.
- I have 11 hours. - You have 11 hours?
- What? - I have 11 hours.
- What? - Eleven hours?
- You'll play the game with us? - Yes.
- We should first... - Then give your time to John.
- Send it to me later. - Okay.
- Then that team... - Our team...
won't be able to use more than six hours anyway.
They don't have time. Eon Kyu has no time to use...
for the game.
- CHLOE purchased the item twice. - Oh, you're right.
I think the maximum will be eight hours...
and minimum, five hours.
Six hours?
- I think 6 hours will be safe. - If it's 6 hours...
- Give me four hours and a half. - Four hours and a half?
Then one hour from both of you.
We can talk when we start the bid.
Did my time transfer to you?
- Yes. - Did it?
Four hours and a half.
I don't think they'll bid for it.
They seem to have no intention to participate.
- Then let's write seven hours. - But we...
Transfer the time first,
then I'll study them. I can bid only two hours if they don't bid.
I think you can write one hour.
Bid before the time limit.
- Yes, I'll be right in front. - Yes.
If they don't approach, I'll write one minute.
(1 minute before the end of the Special Round)
- I'll bid. - Oh, my.
(Out of nowhere?)
Oh, my.
It's a mind game.
If I don't bid,
they'll get the information just by using ten minutes.
If I bid for it,
I thought they'd invest more time.
(How much will John bid for now that CHLOE is playing a mind game?)
If I don't get it...
I know you didn't bid so much.
(John bid 4 hours.)
I bid only a little.
- Good. This is right. - I think this is the right thing.
We don't really need it as well.
CHLOE, did you bid around 30 minutes?
(How much did CHLOE bid?)
(She bid 1 minute!)
I'll feel upset if they win with little time.
So I told CHLOE...
to pretend to bid high.
(Pretending she wrote down a lot of amount for the bid)
In Special Round Jewelry Info, the successful bidder is...
- John Park. - Okay.
(Opening Jewelry Info Verification that cost him 4 hours)
Come here.
We still have a lot left.
Write it down.
(Jewelry Info Verification)
(The number of rounds left: 11 rounds)
I need to calculate it.
Round 13 starts now.
The article for Round 13 is Emerald for 3 points.
I want to get this.
I'm jealous.
A lot of rounds are left now.
We have 4, 2, 2, 3 pieces so 11 chances are left.
We'd better look at the big picture.
You know,
in this game, not buying the last Emerald and Diamond is the key.
Buying the last piece of jewelry...
means buying it for the highest price...
because the price keeps going up.
So, rather than buying the last Diamond,
we can pay a much lower price for the one before that.
Since CHLOE and Eon Kyu have no idea...
when the last round is,
one of them will probably buy the last Diamond,
and one of them will go bankrupt. That's what I predicted.
- We need to buy quickly. - Can I take it now?
- You have to. - I will.
You need to pay hundreds of thousand dollars.
You need to use Double Point and pay over 450,000 dollars at least...
- no matter what. - I get it.
I don't think it's safe with 450,000 dollars.
They might use Double Point too.
Wait and make a move at the end.
- Go. - Okay.
I'll use Double Point.
- Okay. - I told him to wait.
Geez, you punk.
Good job.
I guess Emerald is quite expensive among the items left,
seeing how he used Double Point.
Here it is.
(Joo Eon Kyu)
(CHLOE)
Here you go.
(Eon Kyu and CHLOE hand in quickly.)
About that much, 450,000 dollars.
(With Hyun Kyu who used Double Point...)
I'll write down the price just lower than what Hyu Kyu wrote.
(449,930 dollars)
(449,990 dollars)
(The amount embarrasses him.)
I wonder if this is the right price as I see it.
- I'm not sure. - Will we go bankrupt?
- Here you go. - Has the price of Emerald...
got this higher?
The price looks really scary.
I'm trembling.
It's so scary.
How much did you bid?
Is it like tens of million dollars?
What?
Is it several million dollars?
- No. - No?
(CHLOE is confusing Hyun Kyu.)
Really?
I'll show you the result of Round 13.
(Older team members supported Hyun Kyu.)
(Will his Double Point play the key?)
The successful bidder is Joo Eon Kyu.
The one who bid the lowest price is John Park.
(Joo Eon Kyu takes 3rd place with 5 points.)
I didn't expect this.
(He lost Double Point.)
- This isn't good. - I didn't expect it.
I thought I needed to win points.
When we bid a low price...
not to get the jewelry of a low point,
I lost points protecting CHLOE.
And when we bid a high price,
I went bankrupt.
So I was in danger both ways.
So I decided to win points as much as I can in the next round.
I'll write 1 million dollars for jewelry worth over 3 points,
and for 1 and 2 point ones, I'll write 1 cent.
- What do you think? - Good.
- Up, down, up, down. - I see.
(Bidding 1 million dollars according to his strategy)
(One rock added for being the lowest bidder)
This is annoying.
Round 14 starts.
I guess you need to go for Diamond.
Yes, I need to go for one that's worth 3 or 4 points.
- I need to get one. - The article for Round 14...
- is Diamond for 4 points. - I need this.
- I'm not going to participate. - I need to get this.
Thank you for your work.
I'll go get a cup of coffee.
I can't go for this one.
I just can't.
I'll use Double Point.
- All right. I'll deduct one hour. - Okay.
You're using Double Point?
I'll use Double Point this time.
Stop me if you can.
How many rounds do we have left?
Only they know that.
- We can't tell you. - That's right.
You're getting in our way. How can we tell you that?
I'll tell you if you give me your time.
Whatever.
(The same price as the previous round)
(Joo Eon Kyu 1 million dollars, CHLOE 900,000 dollars)
My mom used to love diamonds very much.
This is what I wrote.
It's not bad.
If we try this and they get the item,
I'll just avoid going bankrupt...
and get the items of low points.
- Will you go for that strategy? - Yes, then I can survive.
It's dangerous to bid over this amount.
(If he can't win this time, he'll avoid having the lowest points.)
(They support Jin Ho and bid a price lower than his.)
Here it is.
(They support Jin Ho and bid a price lower than his.)
You have ten seconds left.
This is fierce competition.
You're the only one who used Double Point, right?
Yes.
If I can't get it at this price, I can give it up.
I'm not dying for it.
I'll show you the result of Round 14.
- Can I get it? - The successful bidder is...
Joo Eon Kyu.
(Joo Eon Kyu won the bid.)
I couldn't get this either?
- All right. - Kim Hyun Kyu bid the lowest price.
- Okay. - He'll get one point deducted.
Eon Kyu, your money...
I guess you got a huge loan.
No, I think I bid just the right price.
I think you're in crushing debt.
I think it was the right price.
Eon Kyu got two items in a row.
With this, I have nine points.
I guess you have a lot of money.
You have so much money!
This is insane.
Round 15 starts.
The article for Round 15 is Ruby for 1 point.
I want it.
Me too. I'd like to have it.
Now Ruby seems to be an easy choice.
But I'm scared. It's for one point, but it's expensive.
Diamond limousine
(Someone is rather relaxed.)
How much should I write down?
(High risk and low profit)
What can be the price for Ruby?
How much should I pay for it?
It's just for one point.
We can ask him.
Mister, how much is it?
Let's think simply. A four-point one is...
It was about 800,000 dollars, so...
(Eon Kyu will maintain his strategy.)
I will bid a low price.
- I'll bid one cent. - Okay.
You write two cents, CHLOE.
Okay.
By bidding one million dollars each time,
I already got a lot of points.
So we decided to let Ruby go.
We decided to avoid it definitely.
So I wrote 1 cent, and CHLOE wrote 2 cents.
We just let the other team have Ruby.
My gosh.
I don't know what to do. This is driving me crazy.
- If I don't get this... - Go.
If I don't get this...
Did you bid money for that?
I don't want to be the lowest bidder.
I'd rather pay a high price and get Ruby.
It's better not to win the bid...
and stay in the middle. The lowest bidder... is...
Being in the middle is the best now.
Isn't it? I don't want to bid a high price...
and get one point.
(Having a headache)
This really is driving me crazy.
Everyone, in the beginning, I won a three-point item...
for only 20,000 dollars. Can you believe that?
I know.
This is my lifeline.
Goodness.
(It's driving him crazy.)
Here it is.
(Handing it in anyway)
I feel like I'll win it.
What should I do?
I think I'll be an idiot who wins it.
No.
I don't want to see it.
I'm not going to see the result for Ruby.
I just want to avoid taking last place.
I didn't know, but I guess I'm timid.
Please.
- I can't see it. - Can't I just be in the middle?
I'll reveal the result of Round 15.
(The result of Round 15 is revealed.)
(The successful bidder: Kim Hyun Kyu)
The successful bidder is Kim Hyun Kyu.
I won it. Gosh.
The bidder who bid the lowest price is Joo Eon Kyu.
(I'm happy as long as it's not me.)
I'm lucky!
(Hyun Kyu is frustrated.)
How much did you bid?
How much did you bid for Ruby?
How much money did you spend for one point, Hyun Kyu?
Did you bid over 100,000 dollars?
(Sighing)
I bid 150,000 dollars.
- Are you kidding? - It's true.
I bid 300,000 dollars.
What?
What on earth is the price you bid?
Hey, you...
(The bid for Ruby in Round 15, Joo Eon Kyu, 1 cent)
(CHLOE, 2 cents, Hwang Je Seong, 150,000 dollars,)
(John Park, 203,000 dollars, Hong Jin Ho 301,500 dollars,)
(Kim Hyun Kyu, 600,000 dollars)
Isn't Ruby too expensive?
I'm being so foolish in this game.
I thought, "They're just crazy."
"How much money are they bidding to win?"
So I bid for a high price,
and then everyone else bid a lower price.
Is everyone fooling me?
I don't know what to do.
(He didn't expect the fluctuation.)
Round 16 starts.
The article for Round 16 is Ruby for 1 point.
Please stop it!
Stop it!
What on earth is going on?
How much are you all bidding?
I don't want to bid anymore.
Ruby? Please stop! Wait. Time out!
(Stressed out about Ruby)
Again, for one point?
How many of them are left?
Are you clearing them out to us?
How much should I bid for the one-point item?
Some of us will be in danger when we use...
- a lot of money. - They got me just cleverly.
Please, dear Almighty.
I hope that Ruby doesn't come to me.
That Ruby is unlucky.
This is crazy.
Here it is.
- This is crazy. - I don't want to buy it.
I made a bid, but I don't want to get it, everyone.
The successful bidder of the jewelry is Hong Jin Ho.
What?
The bidder who bid the lowest bid is Joo Eon Kyu.
- Congratulations. - You'll get one point deducted.
The price of jewelry went down further.
You can't predict anything.
You should have used Double Point.
I didn't mean to win it, and it's...
The accumulated amount for the bid is 4.44 million dollars.
It hasn't reached ten million dollars yet?
The one in first place in terms of jewelry points...
is Hwang Je Seong.
I've been in first place all along?
The article for Round 17 is Sapphire for 2 points.
This is the iffiest one.
Whatever.
- Did you bid to win? - I just don't want to come in last.
- So I bid enough amount. - You want to be in the middle?
I'm going to bid.
I'll go with this.
(CHLOE, 500,000 dollars)
If I bid 400,000 dollars, it's not the lowest price.
You're right.
I'll bid 490,000 dollars.
The successful bidder of the jewelry in Round 17 is John Park.
The bidder who bid the lowest price is Joo Eon Kyu.
You'll get one point deducted.
What? Again?
Every time I bid, it's the lowest price.
- The market price now... - It's unbelievable.
I'm bidding a high price, but it's the lowest among us.
The word "skyrocket" isn't enough to describe it.
Can we get something nice now?
The article for Round 18 is Sapphire for 2 points.
I don't have both money and time.
It's hard to write down because of these rocks.
(Packed with rocks)
- Gosh. - Here it is.
I'm curious about the result. I bid a high price this time.
Please...
- This time, I might win it. - We can't do this for two points.
The successful bidder in Round 18 is CHLOE.
(CHLOE gets the Sapphire in Round 18.)
The bidder who bid the lowest price is Hong Jin Ho.
You'll get one point deducted.
This is totally crazy.
Everyone bid for the price I wrote?
How much did you write? Let me see.
I bid 460,000 dollars.
That's nonsense.
(Je Seong bid 598,999 dollars, and John bid 522,000 dollars.)
The rock doesn't feel nice.
(Cumulative score, Round 18)
(Joo Eon Kyu, CHLOE, Kim Hyun Kyu,)
(Hwang Je Seong, Hong Jin Ho, John Park)
You're at the top in terms of the points.
The difference isn't that big.
How much time do you have?
We have enough time.
CHLOE, what's your cumulative amount of bid so far?
How much is it?
For me, this is...
(930,000 dollars in total)
- It's like this. - Okay. Very nice.
How much have I spent? I've spent so much money.
Did you spend two million?
How much has CHLOE spent?
Who bid the highest price among us?
This. Just now...
- How much did you just bid? - I bid 470,000 dollars.
(CHLOE bid over 600,000 dollars.)
She bid this much? Goodness.
This is really shocking.
How much asset do you all have at home, really?
How much are investing in Sapphire?
Round 19 starts.
The article for Round 19 is Emerald for 3 points.
- Emerald. - Okay!
I'd love Emerald.
- I'd want Emerald. - What shall I do?
- What should I do? - First of all...
I really want to get that Emerald.
Which one do you want, Diamond or Emerald?
It doesn't matter. Are you going to get one this time?
- I want to try. - Then I won't get it.
- Okay. - Okay.
I was in last place until Round 18.
I was in a crisis and had to get away.
Thinking I have to avoid being in last place,
I felt so nervous and intimidated.
So I decided to win the item this time.
I'll bid 1.2 million dollars.
(Hyun Kyu is going to bid the unprecedented high price.)
CHLOE, how much time do you have?
I have a lot.
- Shall I use it? - Use Double Point.
Shall I use it now?
I'll buy Double Point.
- Will you buy Double Point? - Yes.
- I'll deduct one hour from yours. - Yes.
Suddenly,
she bought the item. Are you sure about 1.2 million dollars?
I'm confused.
You definitely have to get it this time.
So I'll fight without hesitation in the next one.
But you won't bid as much as Eon Kyu, anyway.
Yes, I'll bid within my limit.
- Here, - Yes.
two million dollars are from us and two million dollars are from them.
Them?
If you use Double Point to get it, you should bid over one million.
I see.
But if you bid beyond that price...
I'll go bankrupt.
What are you going to do?
(She needs to bid lower than 1.27 million dollars.)
What if this doesn't work out?
- I'll try. - Okay.
(CHLOE)
My first idea was...
bidding 1.2 million dollars with Double Point.
- It's because... - I thought so.
Even if I spend some,
it's less than two million dollars.
- It's two million for me, exactly. - Then go for it.
1.21 million dollars? Or just 1.2 million?
Bid 1.25 million dollars.
- I'll use Double Point. - You'll use Double Point? Okay.
- Here you go. - Here it is.
(The 4-member alliance bids lower than Hyun Kyu's.)
Did you use Double Point?
- I used it too. - Did you?
I guess you bid a high price.
If I don't get it this time, my Double Point will be wasted.
- Yes. - I wasted one earlier too.
I wasted Double Point too. I was already short on time.
How come I wasted Double Point when I didn't have enough time?
I'll reveal the result of Round 19.
- I'm curious. - This is really...
I can't predict at all.
If I don't win it this time, it's over for me.
- If I don't get it, no more chance. - You have to get it.
Many people are in danger. Me, Hyun Kyu...
We're all in danger.
The successful bidder of the jewelry in Round 19 is...
Kim Hyun Kyu.
(CHLOE lost her item, and Hyun Kyu won 6 points.)
I knew it.
The bidder who bid the lowest price is Joo Eon Kyu.
Joon Eon Kyu, you'll get one point deducted.
(Joo Eon Kyu, 1.9 million dollars)
I bid 1.9 million dollars.
So, the earlier amount was already...
That's...
That's how it is.
This isn't good.
The article for Round 20...
- Gosh, it's Ruby. - is Ruby for four points.
Please... Please, sir.
How many times do I have to tell you that I don't want to buy Ruby?
I want to avoid it.
How much have you bid so far?
About two million dollars for me.
We need to stop it. Eon Kyu stopped bidding.
I'm not getting it. I'm only getting deducted.
(Eon Kyu and CHLOE make a bid without a worry.)
(Eon Kyu, John Park, CHLOE submit their bids.)
Hyun Kyu got eight points.
CHLOE, six points.
Eon Kyu is in danger now.
Is it 2, 0, 1, 2 now?
Is this right?
It's 2, 0, 0, 1, 5?
So we need to get the next Diamond, no matter what.
Right. We need to get it for sure.
Yes, you suffer a loss if you win the last Diamond.
Seeing how much they spent by substracting the cumulative amount,
Eon Kyu spent about 2 million dollars for 2 rounds.
One to go bankrupt is definitely either Eon Kyu or CHLOE.
I was sure that will happen to one of them.
The other issue is who comes in last with points.
The candidates for the last place were me, Hyun Kyu,
and CHLOE. It was a three-way race.
Hyun Kyu was on my team anyway.
(Jin Ho can be eliminated if he doesn't beat out CHLOE.)
If I want to beat CHLOE now, one point isn't enough.
I need to get four points.
CHLOE has six points. I need to get Diamond, no matter what.
If I win the four-point piece of jewelry at the end,
I could get away from being in last place.
And the only way I could avoid going bankrupt,
as I calculated, was to bid the highest price,
which was about 2.2 million dollars.
And to pay 2.2 million dollars, I couldn't spend on a one-point item.
I decided to save as much as I could for the four-point Diamond.
How much did you bid this time?
I bid 400,000 dollars.
In terms of points, I might be in danger.
I shouldn't get my points deducted.
I'll bid a higher price than yours.
It'll bid higher than you do.
I bid 422,000 dollars.
- Just bid higher than that. - I got it. Okay.
(30 seconds before the round ends)
Here it is.
- In the last minute... - Someone else will get the item.
- I guess so. - I bid a low price.
I see.
Everyone, I have no idea.
I will now reveal the result of Round 20.
I guess it's me.
(Hong Jin Ho won it.)
- Did I get it? - Hong Jin Ho.
The bidder who bid the lowest price...
is Joo Eon Kyu, He'll get one point deducted.
I think I thought too much by myself.
Each of us got to focus on the game separately,
and I didn't get a chance to talk to them.
Although there were four of us in the team,
I adjusted the price only with John.
We should have known how much they bid.
I didn't imagine they'd bid a lower price than ours.
I was too relaxed.
I'll tell you the cumulative amount of money you've bid so far.
It's 7.44 million dollars.
7.4 million dollars?
It hasn't got to ten million dollars yet? Goodness.
Round 21 starts.
The article for Round 21...
- It's a Diamond. - is Diamond for four points.
- It's Diamond. - Okay.
I'll bid everything I got.
All right!
- You will try to get it, won't you? - I need to do it now.
If I don't, I'll definitely get eliminated. I have to win it.
How much will you bid?
What's your plan?
- I mean it. - Yes.
- That's about what I bid. - Right?
You need to win it.
(He needs to win the Diamond at a price not higher than Eon Kyu's.)
Let's say it's two million dollars.
My cumulative bid is 700,000 dollars.
Then 1.3 million dollars can be a safe bet.
If it's 1.4 million dollars...
I'll use 1.4 million.
- Is it safe after your calculation? - Yes.
It's close, I guess.
- But I have to win this. - Then take it.
(He wrote over 1.4 million dollars.)
- I need to do this. - Go ahead.
- Double Point, Jin Ho. - Be quiet.
Okay?
I'll hand it in as late as I can.
I'm more agonized.
(1.39 million, 1.39 million, 14 million dollars)
(While Jin Ho was in agony)
I'll use Double Point.
- All right. - Did you use Double Point?
Wait.
Hyun Kyu suddenly has eight points.
This way, I'll be the one with the lowest points,
and if you go bankrupt, we'll confront each other.
I have six points, and Jin Ho...
has four points.
If he gets three more points,
I'll be the one with the lowest points.
- Really? - Yes.
Then we might confront each other.
- That shouldn't happen. - I know.
- There's a way. - How?
(CHLOE needs to get a diamond and widen the score gap.)
CHLOE got it only once. That's also amazing.
(Hiding their plan)
Go and use Double Point.
I'll use Double Point.
This time, CHLOE is using Double Point.
- All right. - I'll go against her.
I'll use Double Point too.
- He stammered. - I'll use Double Point!
- I get it. - Double!
Hong Jin Ho, you'll get one hour deducted.
I might get eliminated now. I don't know what will happen.
Do you think it will work?
It's close. If her bid is higher, I don't know what'll happen.
You should pay 1,000 dollars more. You never know.
Really?
Gosh.
(1,410,100 dollars)
You never know.
- Here it is. - This is...
But it's a gain.
- This is so scary. - But...
CHLOE has spent almost one million dollars.
I don't think she'll bid a higher price than Eon Kyu's.
Then it's hard for her to bid over 1.3 million dollars.
Right. You can win it.
- I think so too. - Yes,
I will now reveal the result of Round 21.
It's CHLOE versus Hong Jin Ho.
The youngest one will blow up in the eldest one's face.
She caught up with him.
- Can she really... - I can't do this.
It's Diamond for four points.
Who's going to take it? Is it CHLOE?
Personally, I hope CHLOE wins.
- But Jin Ho... - What?
- Jin Ho is in crisis. He's poor. - You are arrogant.
His score is poor. I pity him.
Let's see who wins.
I don't care who wins. Anyone can win.
The successful bidder is...
Let's see who will win...
Diamond.
I can't see it.
It's CHLOE.
(CHLOE wins Diamond.)
- Gosh. Does this make sense? - The bidder who bid...
the lowest price is Hwang Je Seong.
- That's... - Je Seong will lose one point.
No way.
This is shocking.
CHLOE is winning.
(By acquiring 8 points, CHLOE instantly ranks 1st.)
Gosh.
I'm starting to feel confused.
Are you doing your calculation?
You should calculate bankruptcy risk before spending.
The article for Round 2 is Ruby for 1 point.
It just became really difficult for me.
(The score gap became too big when he lost Diamond.)
I used Double Point too many times.
I need to get Diamond.
- Right. - It's over if I don't.
For me to survive,
- I need to beat Hyun Kyu. - Right.
I don't have a choice.
This is hard.
It's one point.
It's risky.
(Hyun Kyu, Eon Kyu, and Jin Ho are the bottom 3.)
If Eon Kyu goes bankrupt,
it will end up becoming a fight...
between Hyun Kyu and I.
What did you write this time?
I wrote 525,000 dollars.
- I think that's being safe. - Right. I think you're right.
You wrote a lower price?
I can't spend on it.
I would rather lose point than to win it.
I'm done.
Gosh, I don't know.
I really don't know now.
(Hyun Kyu submits his price after Jin Ho does.)
All right.
I wrote a high price. I will take the blow.
- Really? - I will pay a high price for it.
I hope you do.
I will pay a high price for it.
I will go bankrupt.
I will now reveal the result of Round 22.
The successful bidder of the jewelry is...
- Joo Eon Kyu. - What?
What?
The successful bidder of the jewelry is Joo Eon Kyu.
(Joo Eon Kyu is the successful bidder of Round 22.)
The bidder who bid the lowest price is Hong Jin Ho.
Jin Ho will lose one point.
Well...
Why would you win this?
Something is wrong.
It's not what I imagined.
Something is just wrong.
I figured out...
why it felt so wrong.
- My biggest worry was this. - What?
I was afraid that he might risk bankruptcy...
and keep spending ten million dollars.
I can't win any points,
so I end up going to the bottom.
Here's the reason I came to decide to target Jin Ho.
CHLOE said, "I might lose."
"I might lose at this rate."
She said, "My score is too low." CHLOE said that to me.
When I saw the score,
there was CHLOE and Jin Ho.
Then Hyun Kyu went up the rank,
and I decided that I had to take Jin Ho down.
I was planning to pick Jin Ho...
for Checkout Game.
(Eon Kyu wanted to play Checkout Game with Jin Ho.)
Aren't you going to play Checkout Game with Jin Ho?
I am going to play it with Jin Ho.
- I am going to do it with Jin Ho. - Jin Ho.
In the end, this game will all boil down to...
whether or not I can beat Jin Ho.
(Eon Kyu's logic is that you win if you beat Hong Jin Ho.)
If Jin Ho was about to get eliminated,
I was going to go toward elimination.
If CHLOE is at risk...
of bankruptcy or elimination,
I was going to cover for her.
Those two were my two strategies for the day.
I am going to spend 1.4 million.
If it's Diamond, spend ten billion dollars.
(CHLOE bid 10 billion dollars, won Diamond, and ranked 1st.)
(We thought Round 22 was going to be Hyun Kyu versus Jin Ho.)
I will spend a trillion dollars.
(Eon Kyu went wild...)
(to stop CHLOE from bankrupting and Jin Ho from scoring.)
It was very clear that he was targeting me.
This was Eon Kyu.
"I am going to take you down."
I came to realize it,
but I realized it too late.
I think that was huge.
- Round 23 is for 4 points. - It's 4 points?
It's Diamond.
(Joo Eon Kyu, 1 trillion dollars)
(Thanks to Eon Kyu's wild move, Jin Ho is sure to rank last.)
(2.2 million and 2,200 dollars)
It's my everything.
I will give you everything I owe.
"I will give you all I have."
The successful bidder of Round 23 jewelry is...
Joo Eon Kyu.
Nice.
(Everything went according to his plan.)
I'm getting upset.
I am boiling inside.
Gosh.
Kairos Game is now over.
No-Limit Jewelry Auction.
I will reveal cumulative jewelry score.
(CHLOE, 14 points)
The final winner is CHLOE who won the jewelry score of 14 points.
(His strategy worked.)
I will reveal the cumulative bid price.
Gosh.
Joo Eon Kyu's cumulative bid price is two trillion dollars.
You've gone bankrupt.
Thank you.
Is 22 million dollars...
for me?
No.
- Ten billion... - Two trillion?
(Checkout candidates are revealed.)
Today's Checkout candidates are...
- It makes me scratch my head. - It's a big match.
Joo Eon Kyu, who bankrupted with the cumulative bid price...
of two trillion dollars.
With triple twos.
Hong Jin Ho.
And Hong Jin Ho, who scored the lowest score.
I can go to the Checkout Game and come back after beating Jin Ho.
It's so fun, isn't it?
I can't wait for the Checkout Game.
It's nice to play golf against Tiger Woods, you know.
I hated it.
(Hating it)
I hated it. Here's why I hated it.
He said something that drove me crazy momentarily.
If I win, it will be legendary.
If I lose, I lose nothing. You know.
(If I win, it will be legendary. If I lose, I lose nothing. You know.)
I hate that mindset.
I seriously hate that mindset.
I felt really offended then.
I was already unhappy with how he played the game.
"If I win, it will be legendary."
"If I lose, I lose nothing. You know." He said that,
and I lost my temper there.
It means he is here with no pressure.
He's not willing to lose anything.
Am I the only one who's staking everything? I got really offended.
That really offended me,
and I thought I should win today...
without any tricks.
If I win in that situation,
(Checkout candidates: Joo Eon Kyu, Hong Jin Ho)
then he would be losing something.
According to the rank of the Kairos Game,
you are given the time prize.
(Rank 1, CHLOE, 12 hours)
(Rank 2, Hwang Je Seong, 8 hours)
The guests except for the Checkout Game candidates are...
given the minimum survival guarantee until the next Kairos Game.
(The minimum survival guarantee is given.)
(Hong Jin Ho, remaining time, 1 hour and 50 minutes)
(Joo Eon Kyu, remaining time, 57 minutes)
Please save me.
(Awaiting them is...)
I will reveal today's Checkout Game.
(What is today's Checkout Game?)
- What is it? - Gold Silver Bronze Game?
Gold Silver Bronze Game is the best.
Even while taking a shower, I thought of strategies...
to beat Jin Ho in Gold Silver Bronze Game.
I wrote on the misted glass.
It would be incredible if it was that.
Here are the privileges only given to the Checkout candidates.
Welcome to the Checkout Game of The Time Hotel.
- It's a privilege? - Today,
we prepared another special game for you.
Today's Checkout Game is...
Four Fundamental Arithmetic Operations Lottery.
(Four Fundamental Arithmetic Operations Lottery)
(Four Fundamental Arithmetic Operations Lottery?)
- What is it? - Gosh, I don't like it.
Four Fundamental Arithmetic Operations Lottery?
Here's how Four Fundamental Arithmetic Operations Lottery goes.
Using 8 number cards and 3 symbols of operation,
you have to come up with six numbers.
First, the six numbers you have to make will be revealed.
Then you will be randomly given the number cards...
between 1 and 6. You will each be given 8 cards.
(8 random number cards between 1 to 6)
Once the game starts, the hotel manager will throw dice.
And each face will contain a sign of addition, subtraction,
multiplication, division, square, and star.
The manager will throw three dice at the same time.
You will choose four number cards you have.
Using the three symbols of operation the dice show,
you have to create a mathematics formula.
If the result value of the formula is one of the numbers, you succeed.
Do you understand?
So you have to quickly get one of the numbers you were given.
Shall we learn more about the dice symbols?
Square means you multiply the same number multiple times.
If you put the square between 2 and 3,
you multiply two three times. So you get eight. Right?
- So that's how it works. - How does the star work then?
The star is a symbol that connects two numbers.
For example, if you put the star in between 3 and 4,
it becomes 34.
For example, if you put the star in between 3 and 4, it becomes 34.
That's nice.
- That's really nice. - You can easily make a big number.
The star is really nice.
The formula is calculated according to the order...
of the four fundamental arithmetic operations.
The star sign is applied last.
- The star sign is applied last. - All three signs...
must be used.
Let's practice.
We got multiplication, star, and subtraction.
Then... Let's see.
Right.
What's 3 minus 1 times 2 star 5?
(First, you multiply according to the rule...)
(of the four fundamental arithmetic operations.)
(The star is calculated last.)
That's right.
- It becomes 15. - It's 15.
The person who first makes all six lottery numbers wins.
It's easy, isn't it?
- You have to multiply first. - Look. 1 times 2 is...
You have to follow that order.
When the dice are cast,
the person who hits the bell first will be given the chance.
You have just 15 seconds to calculate.
If you make the number in 15 seconds,
the symbols are reset.
And the dice are cast again.
If you don't get the lottery number...
- or if you exceed the time limit, - It's hard.
you cannot try again until the symbols are reset.
So remember that.
If the 2 of you fail to do it in 3 minutes,
I will reset the symbols.
So that's how it works.
If you make the lottery number, the hotel manager will take...
the four cards you used to make the formula.
You will be given the new cards.
You don't like your number cards?
Then use Time Watch to purchase...
a card change ticket.
We will change one of your cards you wish to change...
to a new card.
I am very curious to see who will get all the lucky numbers.
I believe you will do well. Good luck.
Shortly, Checkout Game will begin.
I am terrible at the four fundamental arithmetic operations.
What do I do?
I'm in big trouble. I thought I should ask CHLOE...
how to calculate fast.
Here's what I think.
You will be given the numbers to make.
I think you should come up with possible formulas...
before you begin.
When it comes to the four fundamental arithmetic operations,
I get confused.
I worried that I might make mistakes.
So how does the square work? 3 to the power of 4 is...
- That's 3 times 3... Right. - That's 3 times 3 times 3 times 3?
You have to make it in 15 seconds.
So you have to think first before you hit the bell.
But if there's a star, hit it fast.
Look at the numbers.
I will send you some time. You are running out.
I only have 35 minutes.
I will send you about five hours.
(CHLOE gives him 5 hours.)
The item is swapping cards, right?
For 30 minutes, you can swap a card.
This is hard.
We got a difficult one.
I wanted Gold Silver Bronze Game.
(He wanted Gold Silver Bronze Game.)
Will you be okay if I give you about three hours?
Don't you need more?
- I need more. - The item.
- I know. - Can you give me 3, 2, 1 hour each?
- Okay. - I will appreciate it.
I received time from them just in case,
but I have my own plan.
If I play well without using the item,
I will win no matter what.
Was someone picked for the Checkout Game?
No.
I locked Jin Ho in the trap...
and ended up dragging him here.
I felt the rush of adrenaline.
I feel like Zergling.
(He is Zoogling who's feeling the adrenaline rush.)
I will make sure to beat Jin Ho, go back to the game,
and win.
Addition, subtraction, multiplication, division, star.
Mathematics is not my specialty.
Let's begin Four Fundamental Arithmetic Operations Lottery.
The winner of this game will take...
the opponent's time as the time prize.
We both don't have much time.
(Current time: 17:25pm)
Finally, they are competing.
- I am going to solve them too. - This is going to be fun.
- This is going to be so fun. - You should solve them too.
First, we will draw six numbers.
The first number is...
It's 18.
It's 41.
It's four.
It's 19.
It's 36.
The last number is...
It's six.
(The person who gets all 6 numbers first wins.)
The person who first gets the six numbers wins.
(The completed number ball will be removed.)
I will give out the cards.
(The cards are distributed.)
You got a total of eight cards.
Now, I will cast the dice.
(The dice...)
(are cast.)
The symbols are...
(The dice are cast.)
The symbols are subtraction, star, and multiplication.
You have three minutes. And it begins now.
If you get a star, you hit the bell fast.
I should hit the bell if there's a star.
They got a star.
I was going to hit the bell when I get a star.
Jin Ho, please make the formula.
One. Star.
Four.
Minus. Four.
That's 18.
(Jin Ho gets 18 right.)
Jin Ho got it right.
The answer is 18.
I will swap the four cards.
I was so nervous.
It was completely different...
from watching Kim Nam Hee...
or CHLOE play.
My hands didn't function.
I couldn't think so quickly.
I am confident.
Look at his speed.
He is fast.
When you go in there, you feel very nervous.
It can be your last game, you know.
Here are the four new cards.
- He's going to cast the dice again. - I will reset the symbols.
Addition, subtraction, and division.
You have three minutes. And it begins now.
(Joo Eon Kyu versus Hong Jin Ho)
Jin Ho, please make the formula.
(If you do the division first...)
(and then calculate the other symbols in order,)
(you get 10.)
(But there is no 10.)
Jin Ho, you got it wrong. It's not the right number.
Jin Ho...
I made a mistake. I got confused.
You can't join the game until the symbols are reset.
(If you get a wrong answer, you can't give another try.)
(He made a mistake of doing the division at the end.)
I have to stay calm at all times. But my emotion doesn't let me.
I was so relieved.
I thought I should take my time and do this well.
I wanted to seize the opportunity.
Eon Kyu, please make the formula.
It's six divided by...
Another six.
Plus four.
Minus one.
That's 1 plus 4 minus 1. Then you get 4.
You got four. You've succeeded.
(Eon Kyu got 4 right.)
Nice.
I will reset the symbols.
The symbols are subtraction, addition, and subtraction.
(Joo Eon Kyu versus Hong Jin Ho)
Eon Kyu.
Please make the formula.
(Hesitating)
It's one plus...
Gosh. I made a mistake.
You exceeded the time limit and failed.
- Eon Kyu, you can't... - Come on.
- try again until... - Yes.
the symbols are rest.
Goodness.
I was thinking of the other number.
When you let your emotions get in the way, you lose.
If you get worked up, you can't do well.
I had to relax.
Jin Ho, please make the formula.
It's six plus...
Minus.
Jin Ho, you got four successfully.
(Jin Ho got 4 right. 4 numbers remain.)
Four. Well done.
Okay.
Here are four cards.
When Jin Ho got another one,
I knew I had to stay strong. Staying strong came first.
I counted to three inside.
The symbols are subtraction, subtraction, and addition.
(Joo Eon Kyu versus Hong Jin Ho)
Minus...
(Hitting the bell)
I think Jin Ho was faster.
- Jin Ho hit the bell first. - Okay.
Jin Ho, please make the formula.
It's 6 plus 4 minus 4.
- It's 10 minus 4. - Gosh.
Jin Ho, you successfully got six.
(Jin Ho gets 6 right. 3 numbers remain.)
I will change the four used cards.
It's 1, 2...
It felt like the whole world was collapsing.
I became dizzy.
My brain suddenly got foggy.
I tried my best to really focus.
I will reset the symbols.
The symbols are star, subtraction, and addition.
You have to hit the bell fast when you get a star.
(He hits the bell quickly.)
Eon Kyu, please make the formula.
(Joo Eon Kyu versus Hong Jin Ho)
(All the other operations are done first.)
(Then the star combines the two numbers.)
You successfully got 18.
(Well done.)
I will change the four used cards.
(It's an intense match.)
(Joo Eon Kyu 2, Hong Jin Ho 3)
(Remaining numbers)
(The big numbers are remaining.)
Using a star,
you could easily remove 41 and 19.
- Right? - Yes.
- That's the only way. - Jin Ho has one.
- I will change... - I want to swap a card.
I want to swap a card.
You will use the item. You can choose one card.
- And it will cost you 30 minutes. - Okay. I'll switch it.
You are switching the card.
(The new card happens to be number 4 again by 1 in 6 chance.)
Is it the same card?
He swapped 4 for 4.
Gosh.
I will reset the arithmetic symbols.
The arithmetic symbols are multiplication, addition,
and subtraction.
(Joo Eon Kyu versus Hong Jin Ho)
Hong Jin Ho. Please complete the formula.
- Time is up. - Oh, no.
You may not try again...
until the arithmetic symbols reset.
I thought I was fast.
(Joo Eon Kyu versus Hong Jin Ho)
(Despite many possible cases,)
(Eon Kyu continues to waste time.)
(It is frustrating for Jin Ho...)
(for losing the chance.)
(I wasted time, and now doth time waste me.)
(By William Shakespeare)
Time is up.
I will reset the arithmetic symbols.
- I will swap the card. - You will swap the card?
- Yes. - Please select one.
- Four. - Four.
(This time, he won 1, which comes in handy.)
Square of?
They are square, subtraction and square.
(They are both about to cry as there is no chance.)
(Sighing)
The symbols are laughing at me.
- It looks like it's laughing. - That's true.
(Laughing)
He's amazing. That guy is unbelievable.
Only if I have two, I can ring the bell.
(Only if he has 2, he can win a point.)
I will swap the card.
- Do you want to swap the card? - Yes.
Please select one.
- I will get rid of four. - Okay.
If I use the item and get two...
in 1 in 6 chance,
(If he gets 2...)
I win a point.
It's worth switching for 30 minutes.
(Covering his mouth)
(He got 4 3 cards.)
They're all the same.
I didn't get it.
Next time, it will be two.
I will swap the card again.
All right.
(Joo Eon Kyu purchases an item for the 4th time.)
You have 30 seconds left.
(Dud)
I'm really unlucky with cards today.
(What matters is the firm heart.)
I will swap the card again.
- One more time. - Yes.
(Joo Eon Kyu purchases an item for the 5th time.)
(Smirking)
You have 15 seconds left.
I will swap the card again.
Swapping the card one more time.
I'll hit the bell after this.
(Joo Eon Kyu purchases an item for the 6th time.)
Time is up.
I was in despair big time.
I switched the card 4 times, but I never got 2.
The curse of two. Is Jin Ho cursing me?
I was shocked.
He uses the items so much.
Is he relying on the item to finish me off in no time?
That's what I thought.
I know CHLOE won and received a lot of time,
but did she really give him that much time?
He needs two.
He got four threes.
I know. Eon Kyu is not getting the right cards.
- He's not getting the right cards. - No.
I will reset the arithmetic symbols.
The arithmetic symbols are...
multiplication, addition and addition.
Hong Jin Ho. Please complete the formula.
You have made 19.
I will switch the four cards you used.
The arithmetic symbols are multiplication, star,
and subtraction.
It's easy to make one with a star.
(The star sniper)
Mr. Joo Eon Kyu. Please complete the formula.
Nineteen is the answer. You have made it.
- I did it. - Here are four new cards.
(CHLOE's advice worked.)
The star is nice.
- Yes. - The star is the best.
The arithmetic symbols are division, addition,
and addition.
I had two numbers left at the end.
They were 36 and 41.
I couldn't get them in an ordinary way.
I needed the star.
(Jin Ho wished for the star too.)
He only had big numbers left.
As long as we don't get the star, I can catch up.
Jin Ho should swap the card.
He should swap the card with a big number.
If the situation gets dangerous, I could use the item,
but I want to win without using it.
(Stubborn Hong wants to save his face.)
(The game-crazed man is chasing by 1 point.)
I will swap the card.
You want to swap the card.
(Here comes the rich warrior.)
(He got 5.)
Joo Eon Kyu. Please complete the formula.
(By using the new card...)
You have succeeded in getting six.
I will switch the four cards you used.
(Remaining numbers)
(They both have two big numbers left.)
The arithmetic symbols are star,
subtraction, and addition.
Hong Jin Ho. Please complete the formula.
You have made 36.
I will switch the four cards you used.
(Hong Jin Ho's match point)
Gosh, I should've done this.
How can I be so unlucky?
(Eon Kyu is falling behind after losing the star.)
The arithmetic symbols are addition, subtraction, and multiplication.
Addition, subtraction, and multiplication.
I only had 41 left.
Without the star, I couldn't get 41.
Eon Kyu still had more numbers left.
There was no star, so I decided to do it fast.
I better get this fast. Real fast.
Joo Eon Kyu. Please complete the formula.
You have succeeded in getting 41.
He caught up with only 41 left just like me.
At that moment, I realized it'll be a matter of speed.
They reached the end. It's the match of 41.
Gosh.
This is getting really tense.
(41 is the last number.)
I will reset the arithmetic symbols.
(Now, it's the matter of who takes the star.)
(The last number, 41)
The arithmetic symbols are multiplication,
division, and subtraction.
That's impossible, isn't it?
(They both don't have a chance to make 41.)
I will swap the card.
Yes. I will swap your card.
(The game-crazed man versus Stubborn Hong)
Does he have that much time?
It's impossible anyway.
(Will he succeed with his new card?)
(The last number, 41)
Time is up. I will reset the arithmetic symbols.
I waited.
I wrote down every formula that works...
with the star.
I wrote all possible cases.
All I needed was the star.
If I get the star this time,
I'm going to hit the bell faster than him no matter what.
I have all the possible cases ready.
I will reset the arithmetic symbols.
(The war of the star)
(Eon Kyu's number of cases)
As long as I hit the bell first, I'm guaranteed to win.
(Eon Kyu's number of cases)
I'll get the star and end this game.
(Jin Ho's number of cases)
- It's the star. - It's over.
He rang the bell first.
Eon Kyu rang the bell first.
- Please complete the formula. - I won.
Gosh, this is going to be legendary.
Dear ladies and gentlemen. We have an important announcement.
We have a guest who is checking out.
I finally did it. Hong Jin Ho is out.
When I glanced at it, his formula worked. I lost.
We have a guest who is checking out.
They're making the announcement already.
Maybe I should've used the item.
(Laughing)
I know that's cheap, but that thought occurred to me.
Anyway.
It was worth it. I earned my keep today.
They were making the announcement even before I completed the formula.
- I was like, "Already?" - Dear ladies and gentlemen.
We have an important announcement.
We have a guest who is checking out.
As Mr. Joo Eon Kyu has no time left on his Time Watch,
you must leave The Time Hotel.
As Mr. Joo Eon Kyu has no time left on his Time Watch,
you must leave The Time Hotel.
- What? - What?
- Now? - By a split second.
As Mr. Joo Eon Kyu has no time left on his Time Watch,
you must leave The Time Hotel.
What is this?
"What's going on?" It took me a few seconds to understand.
I was so focused on the game.
I didn't understand for a few seconds,
then I realized, "Time?"
But...
Joo Eon Kyu. You have no time left on your Time Watch.
You must check out.
I received five hours from CHLOE.
Maybe there was a mistake. Something isn't right.
I told the hotel manager,
"What's going on? There must be a mistake."
Will you take a look at your Time Watch?
- It says zero. - That is your time.
Among the five hours you received from Ms. CHLOE,
you spent four hours on purchasing the items.
And you spent the last hour on the game.
So your time is now zero.
I miscalculated my time.
(VAR verifying)
(Joo Eon Kyu's 1st item purchase)
(Joo Eon Kyu's 2nd item purchase)
(Joo Eon Kyu's 3rd item purchase)
(Joo Eon Kyu's 4th item purchase)
(Joo Eon Kyu's 5th item purchase)
(Joo Eon Kyu's 6th item purchase)
(Joo Eon Kyu's 7th item purchase)
- I will swap the card. - Okay.
(Joo Eon Kyu's 8th item purchase)
(Joo Eon Kyu's Time Watch)
(Before completing the formula, he ran out of time.)
As Mr. Joo Eon Kyu has no time left on his Time Watch,
you must leave The Time Hotel.
He swapped the card eight times?
This round is unbelievable.
That was unbelievable.
- This is the real deal. - It was a matter of a split second.
He should've asked for five more minutes.
- The answer is right there. - He got the answer.
The answer is right there. Forty-one.
This is so much fun.
The Checkout Game is over.
Mr. Joo Eon Kyu is checking out today.
Mr. Hong Jin Ho succeeded in surviving.
Congratulations.
(Joo Eon Kyu checks out.)
I should've asked for 1 more hour. Or at least 30 minutes.
I can't stop thinking about it.
I have nothing to lose.
(Joo Eon Kyu's "Interstellar," "If I could ever go back")
I'll get bulgogi and single side dish set.
I'll pay for both.
I'm going vegan, starting today.
Only if I hadn't had the single side dish set.
A warm cup of Americano, please.
- And some ice, please. - Sure.
Only if I hadn't had coffee today.
(Only if he hadn't been affected by others...)
Only if I'd bought one less bottle of water.
(and just be himself.)
I will swap the card.
Only if I got the card I wanted...
(Only if he'd known how scary it was to waste cards...)
when I got the new card.
Only if I hadn't done one of them,
I would've survived.
This is...
such a shame.
Good game.
Well done.
(There is no gain in losing.)
That was really fun.
(The thrilling big match ended.)
- My gosh. - Eon Kyu.
- You should've sent me more time. - Seriously,
- I didn't know. - we'd...
I wondered why you were spending so much.
We'd never get to see a game...
like that again in Korea.
Eon Kyu. That was amazing.
- That was really close. - Great work.
- You were good. - You kept swapping cards.
I was surprised.
- I thought you had enough time. - Really?
I was about to pack up.
- You should just leave. - I was about to leave.
I thought they were saying your name in the announcement.
- I was getting ready. - Eon Kyu. Let me see your watch.
- Have you seen this before? - This is the first time.
A watch that ran out of its time.
One thing is clear, though.
I've never seen a game like this before in my life.
- Never. - At least...
- It was so tense. - in Korea.
It was very fun.
It was shocking.
That was legendary.
It was legendary. I could never do that again.
- I can't believe it. - That was like destiny.
I even survived with the single side dish set.
- At the end... - I ran out of time.
We've seen the power of single side dish set.
The single side dish set gives you that power.
Only if I bought one less bottle of water.
- The food... - Only if I hadn't eaten.
- If you hadn't drunk coffee. - Exactly.
For some reason, today...
(It's hard to describe his feelings.)
- It was wonderful and amazing. - Yes.
- I was... You have my respect. - It was the best.
- It was really tense... - Eon Kyu.
- to the end. - You have my respect.
- At the end... - You were amazing.
But this is The Time Hotel.
Yes. It's The Time Hotel.
Yes. It's our job to manage our time.
You should manage your time wisely.
You were dying...
- to fight with Jin Ho. - I'm so sick of it.
- I have... - Leave already!
- I have a question. - Leave now!
I have a question.
Stop talking and kick him out!
I always wanted to ask this question.
Was it about becoming a hero by beating him...
or were you taking it personally?
- Nothing personal. - Out of pure heart?
- You just wanted to try? - He's my favorite player.
I just wanted to have a match...
against Hong Jin Ho.
- It was on your bucket list. - Yes.
- Yes. - That's what you were after.
- Yes. - Still, that was wonderful.
I'd never forget this.
I'll be like, "Have you seen The Time Hotel?"
"Hong Jin Ho and I..."
I'll never stop talking about it for the rest of my life.
I think it was the standard example...
of a good game.
(The moment he checked in, he was eager for victory.)
If I get bitten...
(The risktaker shone on the edge of the cliff.)
(He was serious about games more than anyone.)
I think this was the most fun moment in my life.
That's how fun it was.
Those were the most exciting six days.
Eon Kyu and I played together from the start.
I believe he influenced me...
in every game.
I'm grateful for everything.
Though he was my rival, I wanted to say this to him...
for his wonderful play.
"Eon Kyu. You did your best, and you were amazing."
Because we had Eon Kyu,
we were able to see that play and that result.
The biggest villain we need. I like Eon Kyu.
- I'm sure everyone became close. - Eon Kyu. Can I give you a hug?
- Well done. - Thanks.
Are you all good now?
- We've talked it out. - Are you good now?
- Did you? - Yes.
- Well done. - Gosh.
Though I invested 20 minutes for nothing...
- I know. - in the morning.
- Say something to CHLOE. - CHLOE.
She was standing there the whole time.
You should put on a wonderful play.
I wish I could. I can do it.
- You're really strong. - Oh, no.
Bye, Eon Kyu.
- Bye. - Great work.
Bye.
(Joo Eon Kyu checks out.)
You are checking out after six days.
You have the mileage of 3 hours and 30 minutes.
Do you want to keep it?
I realized the value of time.
- You want to save it for yourself? - I'll keep it.
One day, I will come back and use it.
- Thank you for everything. - Thank you.
(Time is the capital everyone has. The one who uses it wisely wins.)
Today's VIP is...
(Day 6 VIP, John Park)
(A big change occurs after Eon Kyu is eliminated.)
It's time for John to move.
(John Park forms a new alliance.)
The three of us can be a team.
(It's turning into an individual battle.)
Are you leaving the rest to me?
Can I decide on my own?
He seems different.
I should look for a chance to backstab him.
(John Park stands in the center of the cataclysm.)
(The political warfare never ends.)
It's about who has more information.
Today's Kairos Game is On and Off.
It's a secret room game where you guess others' choice...
solely based on the conversation and the mind game.
(Deceive your rival with your tongue and tactics.)
- I'm turning it off. - Bye.
(Alliance and betrayal)
(Don't let your guard down, or you'll be betrayed.)
(You can never guess whether you should keep it on or off.)
Everyone's line is busy. What's going on?
Should I make Jin Ho nervous?
It's all getting messed up. This isn't good.
(The Time Hotel fell in the state of betrayal.)
(What's the result of the darn annoying game?)
