Hello?
Is anybody there?
There's someone in here!
Your phone number is temporarily out of service
No!
Your phone number is temporarily out of service
No!
Hello?
Can anyone hear me?
I'm trapped in here!
Help!
Anybody!
Get me out of here!
Help!
Please!
Someone's trapped in here!
Anybody there?
"Awake"
Huh?
What's this?
Where is this place?
Hey!
In here!
I'm trapped!
Hey!
Is anybody out there?
Huh?
I said I'm trapped in here!
H-Hey!
Over here!
Who the hell was that just now?
Sir, get me out of here!
I'm trapped!
You're trapped?
- Yes! - Bullshit!
I'm the one who's trapped!
Who the fuck are you?
A-Are you also trapped?
Are you fucking kidding me?
Trust me, I really don't know why I'm trapped!
You think I believe that?
Shit! You don't know who you're fucking with!
Get me out of here now! Where the hell is this place?
Hurry up! What the fuck is going on?
I said I don't know! You've got to believe me!
Damn it
Then
for how long were you trapped in here?
I'm not too sure,,,
But I think it's been an hour since I woke up
So you were awake an hour before me?
I think so
Then what were you doing for the last hour?
What do you think?
I was screaming at the top of my lungs for help
Ouch!
Ow!
So annoying!
What the heck?
H-Hello?
Who are you?
Calm down and listen
It seems like I'm trapped here, just like you
Trapped?
Yes!
Hey!
Did you just wake up?
Who are you?
I'm trapped just like you so don't get the wrong idea
But where is this place?
We don't know except that it's creepy
Then, are all three of us trapped in here?
Who knows? There could be more
So there are other people, too?
How would I know?
I'm just saying there could be
But
by the looks of where he imprisoned us,
I'm thinking this bastard
could be a crazy psychopath
I don't know if you remember
It happened a long time ago
There were a bunch of guys who kidnapped
random people and chopped them up one by one
It was on the news
and everyone was talking about it
What if that happens to us?
That's not going to happen
so stop talking about it
and let's find a way out of here
So there is a way out of here?
I don't know
That's why I'm saying let's think about it
Sheesh
But
before we do that,
isn't this place a bit too cold?
Cold?
I am sensitive to cold,
but this place is way too freezing
No, it's not that cold for me
Aww, shit! Then am I the only one cold?
Oh!
I've been trapped in somewhere similar before!
For real?
Yes!
Where was that place?
An escape room cafe
Are you kidding me?
You think this is a joke?
I'm being serious here
If that's not a joke, then what is?
Think before you speak, will you?
Come to think of it,
why are you being so rude? It's getting on my nerves!
You want a piece of me?
No, I don't!
But you sound way younger than me
and ignorant, too
So it doesn't matter!
Sheesh!
What a geezer!
Such a loser!
Why that crazy little!
Say that again! What did you just say?
That you're a total geezer!
Need a hearing aid?
- You! - Guys!
There's no time to waste!
Damn it
I'll let you go this time!
Sheesh!
You know,,,
That escape room cafe you talked about
Could you tell us more about it?
I went with my friends
You have to escape this small enclosed space
How do you escape it?
You just keep searching
until you find a clue hidden somewhere
Hey
Clues or whatever, I'm cool with that
But I think the door is above our head
So try to bang it like I am
Or
Try pushing it with all your might
Who knows? It might open
Do you think it's moving?
Not one bit!
Are you sure this is the door?
Argh!
I knew it
They wouldn't have kidnapped us,
to begin with, if it was that easy
Come on It's too soon to give up
You're right
Let's try it one more time all at once!
Push! One!
Two!
Three!
- Aaaahhhh! - Fucking open, come on!
It's not opening, right?
Hey, what's wrong?
Are you all right?
Jeez!
Don't scare me like that!
What's with the screaming all of a sudden?
Sorry
I thought I saw something
You saw something?
Yes
What did you see?
It was nothing Never mind
Aren't you guys
hungry?
I'm starving
Hey
How can you feel hungry in this situation?
Why not?
Besides,
one's got to eat to survive
Am I wrong?
Forget it
Shit
Do you guys
have phones by any chance?
Oh!
I do!
Huh?
Your phone number is temporarily out of service
What's wrong?
Why isn't it working?
It doesn't connect, right?
How did you know?
Because mine's the same
And the strange thing is,
the emergency call should still work,
but it doesn't
Aww, man!
Then how about the internet?
No, obviously
Hey
What about your phone?
Are you talking to me?
Yes, you
I don't have a phone
Why?
I didn't have one in the first place
And you want me to believe that?
Are you telling me I'm lying? Huh?
No, I mean!
Who doesn't have a phone these days?
Shit
Then let me ask you in return
Why does everyone need a phone these days?
What?
And me not having a phone isn't the issue here
What's strange is
both of your phones are disconnected
and the internet is blocked Got it?
But
why did they not take our phones?
Maybe they forgot?
Mind you, this guy locked three people in here
And you think he made such a dumb mistake?
No way!
What if
the phone is to receive his calls only?
Are your bodies
in one piece?
Our bodies?
Do you have any stitches
or scars that weren't there before?
You never know
if they already took out all your organs
What's so funny?
No, it's just that,
if they did take out all of our organs,
we would already be dead by now Am I right?
That's not funny!
Sorry, sorry I'll stop laughing
How about we
introduce ourselves?
Do what?
Introducing ourselves?
Yes
None of us know who locked us in here
So should we at least know each other?
What does that have to do with getting out of here?
I'm not sure if it'll help
but isn't it better than being complete strangers?
Don't try too hard
and let's wait until someone comes to help
Wouldn't our kidnapper come to check at least?
Let's do it
Do what? You keep saying that!
Introducing ourselves!
This isn't some blind date!
What's the point of doing that in this dark place?
Like you said, our kidnapper might come
It's better to know each other when we face him
Wow
Says the escape room expert
Back off
We don't need you
Sure! Do as you please!
You two!
Would you stop?
Don't mind him and let's introduce ourselves
Let's just mention our name, age,
and where we come from for now
My name is Cho Hyerin, I'm 19 and live in Seoul
What? You were a high schooler?
No wonder why you were such a bitch
Hey!
I'm
Han Sojin
28 years old and I'm from Suwon
How is any of that useful?
Hold still if you're not going to help
What does it look like I'm doing? Dancing?
Hey
Do you know who's the most suspicious right now?
Who?
You
Me? You little!
Why? Because I'm the only dude here?
- No - Then what?
Do you really not know?
That's why I'm asking you!
Hey, 28 from Suwon!
Are you suspicious of me, too?
Well,,,
You're the least helpful amongst us right now
Least helpful? Fine
Lee Donghyeok, I'm 48 years old,
and I live in Daejeon
Do you even want to know my genealogy?
You don't get it, do you?
Then tell me what it is!
You're not even fazed by all this
That's why?
Then what did you expect?
Screaming on top of my lungs for help?
Bang my head against the wall and cry?
Like a baby? Huh?
Yo!
Don't call me like that
Then how should I call you?
Young lady? Kiddo?
I said my name is Hyerin
Then how about
bitch for short?
By the way,
I've been wanting to know
What now?
When you screamed earlier,
you saw something, right?
What was it? Tell me
Didn't you hear me?
I said didn't see anything
Don't fuck with me
Spit it out!
What did you see?
I can't tell you
And why not?
Even if I do,
you won't believe me
What?
What kind of a bullshit is that?
Hey, bitch!
Aren't you being a bit too contradictory?
Why doubt me when you can't even trust yourself?
Am I right?
Both of you!
Stop for goodness sake!
Do you want to be stuck here forever?
Don't know why I'm here,
and I'm terrified
But
the only reason I'm still hopeful
is because I'm not alone
So let's stop fighting
and find a way out of here!
Okay?
Please,,,
All right, already
Honestly,
I've never been
trapped in a shit hole like this before
So I'm feeling a little on edge
I'll do my best to cooperate from now on,
so have some trust in me, okay?
Especially you, kid!
Fine, I'll try
Hear that?
What is this sound?
Sounds like classical music
It's Schumann's
"Träumerei"
Schumann?
What the fuck?
Does he want us to meditate
while we're trapped in here or what?
At least give us something to stuff ourselves with!
This bastard that caged us
is a crazy piece of shit for sure!
I can't get a clue!
We're of different age and from difference places
That's why I'm saying
we don't have anything common in terms of that
Let's take a different approach
This place
Do any of you remember how you arrived here?
Because I absolutely have no memory
I should at least have a memory of being kidnapped,
but I don't at all
Is it just me?
I also have no idea how I got here
If, like you said, we were kidnapped here,
then we should have at least
the faintest memory of the culprit
But I'm blank
So that means
nobody remembers how
we got trapped in here
How can that be?
What on earth did they do
for us not to remember how we got caught?
Then
what's your last memory before waking up in here?
Last memory?
Yes!
If you can't remember how you got here,
then what's the last memory before that?
Maybe that
can give us a hint to all this?
I was driving
Driving?
Yeah
I can't remember where I was headed to,
but I was definitely on the highway
I also have a vague memory of riding the bus
The bus?
Yes!
I was going somewhere
Do you remember where?
That I don't know
My last memory was inside a car, as well!
I was headed somewhere in a taxi
But I can't remember where
We finally
found something in common
We don't know the destination,
but we were all headed somewhere
This is just my assumption,
but although we can't remember,
I think we could've met at
the same destination
And although I don't know what happened there,
our memories of encounter
got all deleted
I think I found a clue
Elaborate
There are a few photos
I'm not aware of saved in my phone
It seems like they're of recent
They're views of the beach
But I don't recall taking these
and I haven't been to the beach
nor traveled for years
I also have photos I don't know of
What is it of?
It's a tent
A tent?
Huh?
This isn't my photo, either
What is it about? Tell us
Hurry up!
It's of me and three other people I don't know
Could you describe the three to us?
A woman who looks like she's in her late 20s
Her dark hair comes down to her shoulders
and she's wearing a blue dress
And the other person
looks like a guy in his late 40s,
with curly hair and wearing a Hawaiian shirt
Could it be
that you guys
are the people in this photo?
Hey, bitch
Who are you?
Why do you have a photo of us together?
How would I know?
I have no clue how this photo got into my phone
Hey!
So much for being suspicious of me!
You were acting all along, weren't you?
Answer!
No, I wasn't! I swear!
Don't fucking lie! You're one
with the jerk who caged us in here, right?
What do you want from us? Huh?
Why did you lock us in here?
Spit it out!
What is your reason?
I said I'm innocent! Trust me, I know nothing!
Speak, open your mouth!
Just like you and her, I'm also a victim!
I'm terrified right now!
Shit!
I fucking hate this! Argh!
Damn it!
Hey, Hyerin
Yes?
What about the other person?
The other person?
Yes
You said there were three people
other than you in the photo
The two were me and him
So could you describe the third one?
It's a guy in his mid 30s,
and he's wearing black from head to toe
You're saying he's a stranger, too, right?
I've never seen him before
Are you sure about that?
Yes, I'm sure!
Anyway, according to what you said,
there were four of us in the beginning
And right now, the three of us are trapped
Where do you think is the location in the photo?
It's in front of the tent
Maybe it's a campground?
The other guy in this photo
He looks suspicious, all right
How come?
Because he's not trapped like we are?
No
You two and I are smiling
But this guy looks serious
You mean a serious expression?
Yes
Isn't it weird that he's the only one serious?
Then
do you think he's our kidnapper?
I have my doubts,
but for a single man to carry three people,
that's not easy
Is he big enough to beat all three of us
if we attack him at once?
Not at all
He looks like the same size as you
So from what we've talked about so far,
it looks like we met at a campground near the beach
Then
do you think that was the first time we met?
I think so
And yet we smiled for the photo?
That doesn't make sense
Unless we already knew each other
There's no way I would do that with total strangers
Then are you suggesting we know each other?
But I
don't know anyone who's Hyerin or Donghyeok
Same goes here
Anyway, I find this guy suspicious for sure!
Even if he is the culprit,
how can he lock three people by himself?
It'll require at least two people to do that
What?
Repeat that!
- At least two people,,, - You're right!
Why did we think he did it alone all this time?
Another person completely changes the story!
Look at the photo again!
Do you think someone took it for us or
is it a group selfie?
Someone took it for us
For real?
Yes, I'm certain!
Then
the guy in this photo
and the other person who took the photo
must've done this to us
You sons of bitches!
What's the big idea
locking us in here!
There's got to be a reason
why you're doing this to us!
Tell us why you trapped us in here!
But
what if they're in the same situation?
What do you mean?
They're also locked up like us
but
aren't awake yet
What's going on? No!
What's happening?
Are you all okay?
I'm fine
What about you?
Donghyeok!
Oh, yeah, sure
You're okay, right?
Yeah
What was that just now?
Is it an earthquake?
This neighborhood
sure is something Shit
I got a call! Someone's calling!
That's your phone, right?
Who's calling you?
Huh?
Who's phone is it?
It's mine!
What?
Who is it from?
The caller ID is hidden
Answer it quickly before he hangs up
Hello?
Who is it?
Say something if you called
It's me,
Hyerin
W-Who are you?
I said, it's me
Is it those guys?
What do they want?
Huh?
Why aren't you talking? Say something!
H-Hyerin?
Shit! Talk, will you?
I hung up
Why did you do that? That was our last chance!
Who was it from? Who called you?
The person got the wrong number
Wrong number?
Don't tell me
you hung up because of that?
That's right
You stupid idiot! Are you crazy, huh?
Even if it was a wrong call,
you should've asked for help!
Did you ask for help or no?
Answer me!
I didn't
Are you fucking kidding me?
This has got to be a joke
Why did you not do it? Why?
Hey kid, it's your phone again, right?
Sorry I yelled earlier! Seriously!
This time, you tell them everything, okay?
No mistakes, okay?
Hello?
Stop making prank calls!
I told you, it's me
Hey, bitch
What's with the reaction?
You know the caller, right?
It's Sehui
She was my best friend
Why did you hang up
and not ask for help if she's your friend?
Because,,,
she died two months ago!
She died?
Have you lost your mind?
How can a dead person call you?
I know! That's why I'm confused!
I'm going nuts here
So according to you,
your dead friend came to life
and called you Right?
What kind of a bullshit is that?
I think you lost it after being trapped in here for too long
I swear it was dead Sehui's voice!
Your friend
Is she really dead?
Are you sure it's not someone else?
I saw her die with my own two eyes!
Wipe those tears!
Why are you crying?
We just want to hang out with you Right?
Don't cry, princess
It makes us look like we're bullying you
I know
Such a crybaby
Hey!
Smile for the camera
- Hey! Look at the camera - Over here
Didn't you hear us?
Sehui
I'm sorry Forgive me!
I never knew you were in such pain
Forgive me!
No
I did nothing wrong
Sorry
No!
Forgive me!
I'm innocent
Sehui!
It wasn't my fault!
Ah! I did nothing! So, please!
What did I do to you?
I didn't do anything! Please!
I'm innocent!
Ah! Help!
Back then,
why did you leave me?
Hey, bitch!
Hyerin
Tell us you're okay
You son of a bitch! I know you're there!
Release us, right now!
At least tell us why you're doing this!
You crazy bastard!
Donghyeok
What if they come for us, too?
Don't say that
We're going to make it out alive
If things get worse,
I'll even use
my teeth to open this door
and set you free
Donghyeok
Are you still there?
Why?
Are you scared I'll leave you behind?
No
It's too quiet, that's why
Do you want to talk about something?
Yes, please
Let's see
What's the first thing you want to do
once you're free?
I,,,
I'm going to travel
Travel?
Yes
I couldn't travel anywhere for a while
Why not?
5 years ago, my house got wrecked by a huge fire
I barely made it out alive
But my mom couldn't
I was also busy making a living
Actually, there's another reason
I want to go on a trip
And what's that?
I'm diagnosed with a disease that gradually narrows down my vision
Narrows down your vision?
To put it simply,
it's like viewing the world through a narrow pipe
Is there a cure?
There are no treatments available yet
I'll lose vision entirely in the end, though
So while I can see,
I want to go traveling
Then I can at least use my memory when I want to go back again
Where do you want to go the most?
A beautiful beach
To see the blue ocean
East or West, you name it
Just tell me
and I'll be your driver
Really?
There's no taking back!
Yes, I promise
Yay!
Then what about you?
What do you want to do as soon as you're free?
I'm going to catch the kidnapper
and hang him upside down That son of a bitch
And secondly,
I'm going to see my daughter
Oh, you had a daughter!
She must be pretty
She's pretty, all right
Gorgeous
She would turn 7 this year
But she died a year ago
I'm so sorry
What for?
In the end,
it was all my fault
Daddy!
Daddy! Play with me!
Okay
Hold on, I'm doing something
I'll play with you later
Hmph!
Where did she go?
Daeun!
Honey!
Daeun!
Daddy!
Daddy, where are you?
I'm here, daddy!
D-Donghyeok?
Did you hear that?
What do you mean?
Daeun is calling me!
- Daeun! - Daddy!
I'm here!
- Daddy! - Daddy's here!
Donghyeok!
- Daeun! - When are you coming?
My baby!
- I miss you, daddy! - Donghyeok!
Snap out of it!
Daeun is looking for me!
No, she's not!
- Daddy! I miss you! - Daeun! Honey!
- Donghyeok! - Daeun!
- Donghyeok!
No! Get yourself together!
Daeun!
Daddy!
Daeun!
Daddy
My baby!
I'm so sorry!
Daddy, where were you?
I looked everywhere for you
Sorry I'll never leave you alone again
Daddy's so sorry, Daeun!
You promised
you'll get me out of here!
How can you leave me like this?
I can't do it alone, Donghyeok
Who is that?
Mom
What are you doing here?
Sojin!
Sorry, I have to go
Over here! Hurry up!
What do you want, Mom?
You shouldn't go there
Why not?
It's dangerous, don't go!
I don't trust you!
You're the one who set the house on fire!
Do you know how much I suffered all by myself?
My life was a living hell!
Sojin!
Stop it!
Sojin
You had it rough, haven't you?
Yes, Mom
Promise me you'll live a long life
Sojin!
Over here!
Hurry!
Sojin!
Hey!
Come!
Hurry!
We're waiting!
Let's go!
Could you take a photo of us?
- Sure - Thank you
On the count of three
Three, two, one!
What are you doing here?
Do you want to know?
I was staring at the ocean
What are you doing here, missy?
My name is not missy,
it's Lee Daeun
And I'm waiting for my daddy
Did you say
your name is,,,
Daeun?
Yes
My daddy will be here soon
It's been a year since I've seen him
Sojin!
Hey! Wake up!
Sojin!
Sojin! Snap out of it!
Sojin!
No
This can't be
I'm alive!
I'm still alive!
I don't want to die!
Mom, Mom!
Help me, Mom!
I want to live a long life!
Mom!
Welcome home,
my dear daughter
