RED ROOM The Forbidden King Game

Name's Hiromi. 1 7 years old, a senior. I'm not really sure if I can do this...

Today I'm playing the King Game so I can win 1 0 million yen...

I still wonder ifthis is for real...

Either way, I'm going to be as bad as I have to be to win.

Nice meeting you.

Right... my name is Togashi lsawa. Nice to m-meet all of you...

I'm 34 years old, I have a wife and 3 children...

Two... two years ago, I started a chain of curry resturaunts...

...but now I'm unemployed.

Since, I've run up 1 0 million yen in debt from housing and credit loans...

I... I don't know muchlabout the King Game...

...but for my wife and kids' sake, I'll bring home the 1 0 million yen!

Togashi Masako, 31 years old, and I'm a housewife.

Ever since my husband lost his job, I've been hounded by bill collectors...

...I was honestly ready to hang myself until I heard about this game.

I'll work hard for the 1 0 million yen.

Yoshino Kanako. 27 years old, and I work for a corporation.

I'm willing to be disgraced... but only for the money.

We thank you for your patience. The game will begin momentarily.

So... does this mean I'm king?

- Are you deaf or something? - I'm sorry... so, what do I do now?

- You just pick numbers and order them. - I see...

- Weren't you even listening? Retard - I'm sorry!

So you could say: "No. 1 has to french kiss No. 2"...

- That sounds good - Say what?

- I like that order, Hiromi-chan! - What kind of moron are you?

You're supposed to make them give up so you can win the 1 0 million yen!

I'm sorry!

Hey, old bag... the king's order must be followed.

C'mon king, watch closely.

Yoshino Kanako. 27 years old, and I work for a corporation.

I'm willing to be disgraced... but only for the money.

Naturally, you'll all fiight for the 1 0 million. Please wait while the room is prepared.

Well... it's nice to meet all ofyou My name's Togashi...

Her name's Togashi Masako. It's great to meet you...

She and I are... married.

Yeah, you two must be close. Just look at your clothes.

Hey, you're right! 'Woof, right? So miss, what's your name?

- Hiromi. - That's right, Hiromi-chan!

I couldn't hear it the fiirst time... It's nice to meet you.

- And your name was Yoshida...? - It's Yoshino.

Yoshino-san, right. Yoshino-san.

Yoshino...?

Kanako.

Kanako-san? What a great name... I'm a big fan of Higuchi Kanako! .

No... no relation, huh? It's nice to meet you. .

Wow, this is a suspicious looking room... Like something out of a scary movie, right?

But we'll be out of here soon. It's so dazzling, these plastic sheets...

- Is it under construction, maybe? - Shut the hell up.

I'm sorry! .

What, uh... do you thinklall that stuff is for? .

I'm sorry! You surprised me...

- Did somebody forget his tools? - It's obvious.

- Huh? - You use them.

What for?

- The game, what else? Geez... - oh... but how?

Blam!

It's my turn.

My order is...

Tape her down tight.IDon't be shy.

- Hold up, that hurt! - Sorry, but if it's loose it'll be dangerous.

Sis, are you serious?

You can stop now if you want, but you'll lose the money.

Are you ready?

5 minutes. Make it that long and you pass. Ifyou can't, then you'll be disqualifiied.

Try not to over-do it.

- Right. - I wasn't talking to you!

I'm sorry!

5 minutes straight,lthen you can rest.

Good. Ready... start!

3 minutes left.

Come on, you can do it faster!

Don't slow down now.

You're going to puke. Do you give up?

How much longer!

- That's enough. You can stop now. - But it hasn't been 5 minutes yet!

- I don't care, stop! - What a weak king...

Hiromi-chan! Hang in there!

Hey sis, you're gonna' regret this.

Blam!

What a weirdo.

So... Yoshino-san?

Isn't this a little weird?

- Not really. - I don't mean it like that!

He got this for me, it's not even my size...

It's so out of style, not like your clothes at all...

They're really nice. They look expensive too...

So, what are you saying?

- Why did you come here? - Here?

Yes, to the game today...

Right, I need to follow the rules. I won't ask you, then...

You want that 1 0 million yen, right? Why's a young girl need all that money?

Do you want to leave the country or something?

We were hounded by yakuza, they might even kill us!

I've got 3 boys at home, aged 1, 3 and 8... Ifwe don't win, we'll all hang ourselves!

Hey, are you listening?

- That's a shame. - How can you say that!

- What should I say? - Let us win, okay? Please help us.

You act like you're the only one who needs that money.

- Say, what are you chatting about? - Shut up! This doesn't concern you.

- You don't know a damn thing. - I'm sorry!

Do you guys really think we'll get that 1 0 million yen?

- What? You think it's all a lie? - It just sounds like a bullshit story...

We all show up in this smelly room, to play some stupid "King Game"...

- Yeah, it's gotta' be bullshit. - Hiromi-chan, they may hear you!

Like I give a damn! Let them hear me. And why the cameras and microphones?

What do they think is goinglto happen in here anyway?

So what are you going to do?

- I just decided: I want that 1 0 million yen. - What kind of childish answer is that?

It's not like you know whatltomorrow will bring, do you?

Get a hold ofyourself, will you? You're going to be trouble for us all.

Gross, you smell like puke!

- What did you expect? - I'm sorry!

All right, looks like it's me... Sis, what's your number?

Just kidding. I want No. 1 to use the blowdryer on No. 3, for 3 minutes.

What the hell do you mean "use on"?

Hang in there, this is for 1 0 million yen, so don't die!

1 minute left.

You may look like a loser, but don't give up now!

You can give up, I'll just keep playing! Is that it? Is this all you're made of?

30 seconds left.

Come on, you can take it!

1 0, 9, 8, 7, 6...

...5, 4, 3, 2, 1...

...zero!

It's not like you know whatltomorrow will bring, do you?

of course not.

Hey sis, you still haven't said why you came here.

You're a senior, aren't you?

Yeah, and high school girls are all whores right? Well not me.

- Atypical high school girl came here? - Not quite... I've got my reasons.

Do you want to go overseas?

I'm not going to tell you! So how 'bout you tell me instead?

I just... well, it's nothing special.

You're in debt, right? So you came to Card Hell?

"I'm not going to tell you."

Whatever.

I didn't expect you to do it!

Agreed.

It was a little surprising.

Can you do it?

No doubt about it.

Have you guys lost your minds?
