Squid Game – Ep04 – Stick to the Team
Player 111, a disgraced doctor, secretly works with a group of guards to harvest organs from deceased players to sell on the black market in return for information on upcoming games. When Deok-su kills a player who accuses him of taking extra food, the guards take no action, and the prize pool is increased. Realizing they can freely kill other players to raise the prize pool, Deok-su and his group instigate a brawl after lights out, resulting in players attacking each other. Gi-hun’s group survives and exchanges names to build trust: Player 199 is Ali Abdul, and Player 067 is Kang Sae-byeok. Due to his brain tumor, Player 001 struggles to remember his name. Player 212, named Han Mi-nyeo, has sex with Deok-su in the toilets. In the third game, players are instructed to form groups of ten. For Gi-hun’s team, Sae-byeok recruits Player 240, a girl near her age. The game is revealed to be a tug of war on two raised platforms, where a team wins by pulling the opposing team off the other platform to their deaths. Deok-su, having learned about the game from Player 111, selects only strong men and rejects Mi-nyeo, who joins Gi-hun’s team. After Deok-su’s team wins their match easily, Gi-hun’s team struggles against another all-male team.
