    "Hell" (지옥 Ji-ok?) is the second episode of the first season of the television series Squid Game.

    This episode includes the voting scene.

    After the first game, all the surviving contestants are brought back to the dormitory. The guards enter and congratulate the players for winning the first game, stating that 255 players were eliminated. At this, several players beg to be let go from the games, promising that they will pay off their debts. A guard clarifies that the point of the games are not to punish the players for their debts, but to give them a second chance.

    After being reminded that players who refuse to participate will be killed, Cho Sang-woo invokes the third clause of the consent form that says the game can be ended if the majority vote to leave. The guards agree to the voting but show the cash prize first, with a gigantic transparent piggy bank being lowered from the ceiling that begins to be filled up with stacks of cash totaling ₩25 billion. They reveal that each contestant is worth ₩100 million and that the total prize pot will be ₩45.6 billion. The guards further explain that the players can make a choice between leaving or staying, and set up a voting machine with two buttons - a circle to continue and an X to leave. If they leave, they don't get any of the prize money.

    Seong Gi-hun is the first to vote, and votes not to continue, as do many others. The vote remains neck-and-neck all throughout, as some players want to end the games but others are desperate to win the prize money, such as Sang-woo and some others, even a woman from earlier who begged to be spared. A fight nearly breaks out as the contestants who want to leave get angry with those who want to continue, necessitating intervention from the guards. The counter-argument to leaving is that their lives outside of the game aren't going to improve; at least in the games, they have a chance to get the money. It's Player 001, the old man with the brain tumor, who gets to cast the deciding vote and break the 100-100 tie. He selects to quit the game.

    With that, everyone is dropped off back on the mainland, with the promise that if a majority of people want to continue the games after a few days, the games will be restarted. Gi-hun is dumped with Sae-byeok, the pickpocket who stole his money. Sang-woo is dropped off with Player 199, who saved Gi-hun in the first game, and Ali asks Sang-woo if he can borrow his phone to make a call. Sang-woo agrees to this, but his phone is dead, so he goes to a nearby convenience store with Ali to buy a phone charger and some ramen. When he charges his phone, he finds a torrent of messages from the authorities. He nevertheless gives Ali ramen and cash for a bus ride back home, who proceeds to thank him profusely.

    Gi-hun immediately goes to a police station and tries to report the game. However, the officers think his story sounds too ridiculous to be true, to the point that they not only refuse to believe him but also mistake him for a crazy person. It's not helped when the business card he gives as proof of the games is redirected to a wrong number, then a disconnected line. Detective Hwang Jun-ho, who has been searching for his missing brother, finds an invitation card in his apartment which was from the game, leading him to suspect Gi-hun is telling the truth.

    Gi-hun, not finding his mother at home, searches for her on the street and bumps into Sang-woo, who is afraid to meet his mother, so he watches her from afar while she organizes her fish store. Sang-woo confesses that he has debts totaling ₩6 billion due to a series of bad investments in futures and had put his mother's store up as collateral in one of those dealings, and he can't pay any of it back. Soon after, Gi-hun receives a call from the Emergency Medical Center that his mother has been diagnosed with severe diabetes and may need to get her feet amputated. At night, despite the doctors' advice and Gi-hun's pleas, she leaves the hospital and refuses treatment, reminding Gi-hun that he had cancelled all their health insurance and drained what little savings they had to get more money to fuel his gambling addiction, hence why they can't afford her getting the treatment and hospitalization to recover. Racked with guilt, Gi-hun swears that he'll make things right and get the money.
