Squid Game
Season 3 – Episode 2
Episode title: The Starry Night [Byeori binnaneun bame]
Original release date: June 27, 2025
Plot: No-eul kills the doctor after Gyeong-seok recovers. In the game’s labyrinth, Hyun-ju, Geum-ja, and Jun-hee team up. Myung-gi reluctantly partners with Nam-gyu and helps kill several hiders, realizing that reducing targets for other taggers will also eliminate them, thus increasing the prize pool. Elsewhere, Seon-nyeo finds an exit, but is betrayed by Player 100, Jeong-dae, who locks her out of the exit. She is then killed by Min-su, who hallucinates Nam-gyu and Se-mi under the influence of Thanos’ drugs dropped by Nam-gyu. Jun-hee badly sprains her ankle by falling down the stairs and soon goes into labor while Hyun-ju kills several taggers who attempt to attack the group. Hyun-ju was caught in a fight but successfully killed the player, looking up to see the room she’s in she soon discovers that she had found the exit. With the help of Geum-ja, Jun-hee gives birth to a healthy baby girl, but Hyun-ju is unknowingly stabbed in the back by Myung-gi just after she opened the exit; overcome with guilt upon seeing Jun-hee and the newborn, Myung-gi walks away. Meanwhile, a vengeful Gi-hun, assigned as a tagger, pursues Dae-ho, who confesses to lying about his military background and chickening out of the rebellion due to his fear. Dae-ho also attacks Gi-hun, blaming him for the failed rebellion. Enraged, Gi-hun strangles him to death. Geum-ja, Jun-hee and the baby arrive at an exit, but they encounter Yong-sik. With the game nearly over, Yong-sik resorts to targeting Jun-hee after failing to eliminate any hiders, forcing Geum-ja to intervene and stab him. They embrace before the guards arrive and execute Yong-sik, devastating Geum-ja. Gi-hun, turning the blame for the deaths caused by the rebellion on himself, attempts to commit suicide, but is stopped by the guards.

[tense music]
[Yeong-sam] Damn.
[child’s voice on PA] Ready or not, here I come!
What are you doing?
Mmm.
It’s… just a little something to boost my confidence and strength.
Thanos, that fucking asshole.
After all those free drinks I got him at the club, that bastard treated me like a fucking idiot.
He kept calling me “Nam-su,” for fuck’s sake.
“Hey, Nam-su.” “It’s Nam-gyu.”
“Nam-su.” “I said it’s Nam-gyu.”
“Nam-gyu.”
I told that motherfucker so many times, his ears must have bled.
[scoffs] Fucking asshole.
The Amazing Myung-gi.
You want one?
No.
I’m being generous because you bumped off Thanos.
I said no.
Don’t beg me for one later.
[imitating Thanos in English] Follow me.
[in normal voice, Korean] Let’s go kill half of humanity.

[breathes shakily]
[mystical music]
Are you sure you can find the way out?
Shush!
I don’t rely on my eyes to see the way.
I follow the voices of the souls who died in here.
Either follow me quietly,
or get lost if you lack faith in me!
No, I believe in you! I’ll follow you, no matter what!
Me too.
Me too!
[shushes]

It doesn’t?
Move.
[breathing shakily]
[exhales]
[eerie music]
[breathes shakily]
Let’s go.
May I take a look?
This is the one. Can I borrow it?
[door closes]
Let me take a look.
What is it?
Each door has a keyhole in a different shape.
I think there are three. Circle, triangle, and square.
We each have one of those shapes.
Mine is a circle,
Jun-hee’s is a triangle, and yours is a square.
Don’t we make a great team!
Absolutely.
I knew us three made a great team since we went to the bathroom together.
Right?
[Jun-hee] Yes.
[Geum-ja chuckles]
In that case, you should hold on to our keys, Hyun-ju.
That way, we’ll be able to move more efficiently.
Would that be okay?

I have a wife and a kid. I beg you.
[Nam-gyu] I hear you.
[Player 235 whimpers]
Hang on.
What?
If you kill him, you’ll pass and I won’t.
We’ll kill another one.
How can I be sure you’ll help me with the next one?
You’ll be done already.
What do we do then?
We’ll do it at the same time.
[Player 235 breathing heavily]
Stab him at the same time?
[dark music]
Wow, what a sensible shit you are.

Why you…
[Nam-gyu exclaims in awe]
[Nam-gyu] Myung-gi, did you see the look in his eyes as he died?
[hissing]
Slowly losing that gleam.
Turning into doll eyes. It was the same with that bitch Se-mi.
Fucking fascinating, isn’t it?
What are you doing?
We can open the doors with this.
[laughs]
Get up.
We’ve only killed half a person each.
[chuckles]
You’re so fucking sensible.

[all panting]

Player 333, pass.
He passed.
Who?
My friend.
Your friend?
[door lock clicks]
The one you switched teams with?
[door opens]
Yes, he said he’d come help me if he passed.
Don’t count on it. It’ll be hard to find us.
He promised me.
He’s going to come.
[Nam-gyu] The Amazing Myung-gi.
[dark music]
Where are you going?
I’ve got to find someone.
That bitch you have a thing with?
What are you going to do if you find her? Protect her?
I’ll protect that bitch with you.
If you lay a finger on her, I’ll kill you.
You’ve been so sensible, but now you’re a total drama queen.
It’s not just a fling. You’re in love.
You little shit, you’re in love with her.
You do fucking love her.
[ominous music]
♪ We were in love, we met ♪
♪ And became an unforgettable memory ♪
♪ Like sad romantic dramas… ♪
I’ll help you find her.
[Myung-gi] I don’t need your help.
What if you run into a Blue while you’re trying to find her?
What are you gonna do?
Hm?
Who cares? I’ve already passed.
No, you’re too damn soft.
The Amazing Myung-gi of MG Coin. This is why you went bust.
[stabbing]
[woman screaming]
[panting]
[Myung-gi] Jun-hee! Jun-hee…
[exhales]
[Player 276 breathing heavily]
[stabbing]
[Player 400 groaning]
[woman on PA] Player 400, eliminated.
The Amazing Myung-gi, we’ve got to kill every member of the Blue Team we see.
Think about it.
The rule was kill one person to pass.
They didn’t say we couldn’t kill more than one.
So if we kill more of those assholes, there won’t be enough left for all the red ones to kill.
That means, for every blue one we kill, we’re eliminating a red one too.
And that will increase the prize by two people’s shares.
Got it?
What do you fucking think?
Pretty fucking sensible, right?

This way.
[ominous music]
Sit down for a minute.
Let me take a look.
[Hyun-ju sighs]
Is it sprained?
Her ankle might be fractured.
[gasps]
What do we do?
She shouldn’t walk on it.
For now, let’s hide here and see how things go.
Don’t do that just for me.
I’ll hide in here alone.
You should go find the exit.
I’ll… stay here with her.
What?
[Geum-ja] You should go, Hyun-ju.
We’ve already been a big enough burden on you.
[Jun-hee panting heavily]
[Geum-ja] Oh, my goodness.
[Hyun-ju] What’s wrong?
[Geum-ja] Good heavens.
[gasps]
[Geum-ja] Her water broke.
[Hyun-ju] What… What do we do?
[eerie music]
Huh?
[whimpering]
Please don’t kill me.
[man whimpering]
Sir, don’t you remember me?
When we played Mingle, we went into that room together as a three.
You’re here with your mother, right?
I also have a sick mother outside.
She has cancer. She’s in the hospital right now.

Please spare me.

[Geum-ja] That’s it. Yes, just a little more.
[Jun-hee groans in pain]
Hyun-ju.
Come hold Jun-hee’s hand.
Okay.
[man screaming in the distance]
Ready? All right, I need you to push again.
One, two, three!

You…
You’re looking for him, aren’t you? Player 388.
The one who betrayed you.
I saw him.
He was right outside just now.
He injured his leg.
[ominous music]
He went that way, leaving a trail of blood.
Go kill him.
Go kill him.
If you kill him, all your bad karma will be cleared.

There really is an exit?
The gods of heaven and earth led me to it.
Why didn’t you get out then?
[woman screaming]
You need all three keys to open it.
[woman announces on PA]
I have the circle, you have the other two. Now we can open it.
Are you sure?
Why else would I bring you with me?
[Jeong-dae] Wait.
How do you know the way though?
Everything looks the same to me.
You idiot.
[amusing music]
I don’t see the way.
I listen to the voices of the gods of heaven and earth.
You’re so close. Push again.

I’m sure it’s somewhere nearby.
Can’t we just stay here until it’s over?
That’s too dangerous.
Someone will hear the baby and come for us.
[breathing heavily]
There really was an exit.
[Seon-nyeo] You fool.
I already told you.
You need all three keys to open it.

Have you seen Se-mi?
[spluttering] Brother, I… I really wanted to do well.
I… I never served in the Marines. It was a lie.
I didn’t even serve in the military. I’ve never even held a gun.
Even my tattoo is fake.
I lied so I could be with you guys.
I thought if I were one of you, even a pathetic loser like me… could do anything.
[Gi-hun breathing heavily]
It’s your fault.
[sobbing] Brother.
[tense music]
I was going to bring back the magazines. I swear.
I had gathered them, and I was going to bring them back.
But suddenly…
Suddenly, I got scared.
It’s all your fault!

You’re the one who killed them all!
