00:00In the subway, a baby is crying really loudly and annoying everyone.
00:03A passenger eventually snaps and starts yelling at the mother,
00:06which only makes the noise worse. A man watching all this puts on his earbuds to ignore them.
00:11At that moment, he gets a call from his ex-girlfriend but he declines it.
00:14At the next station, the man gets off the train and receives another call.
00:18He reluctantly answers it and tells his ex-girlfriend that he's on his way to work.
00:21She explains that she's at the hospital and a doctor has confirmed she's pregnant,
00:25so she wants his opinion. He's so shocked by the news that he bumps into a random person
00:29and drops his phone, causing him to miss half of what his ex has to say.
00:32Suddenly he starts having an asthma attack and has to use his inhaler to calm down.
00:36He says that he'll take time off for her, but she tells him not to bother because
00:39she's already made up her mind. When he tries to ask what she means,
00:43his phone loses signal and the call ends. The man then takes a corridor with a sign
00:47that says to exit 8 and only has one other person walking nearby. After passing by another sign for
00:51exit 0, he makes a turn and is shocked to find himself back at the previous sign with the other
00:56guy. For now he just keeps moving, however he ends up in the same spot again. Confused by the
01:01situation, he looks at the other guy and doesn't see that the back of the sign says turn back three
01:05times. He decides to keep moving and once again he returns to the same place. This time he turns
01:10around and is startled by the other guy awkwardly smiling at him. The man runs away in fear but the
01:15same thing happens, so he turns around and runs in the opposite direction. Unfortunately this also takes
01:20him to the same spot. The lost man notices the emergency alarm on the wall and presses it,
01:24but it isn't working. Then he tries the three doors in the corridor, however they're all locked.
01:29When he stares at a poster on the wall, he's shocked to see blood falling and he steps back,
01:33only to feel blood dripping on his head from sign 8. The terrified man begins running again and after
01:37seeing the other guy on his phone, he finds a sign for exit 1, which means the corridor has finally
01:42changed. Another sign next to that 1 has a set of instructions. It says that he must pay attention to
01:47anomalies, because if he ever sees one, he must turn back immediately. If he doesn't see any, he can walk
01:52forward. The real exit is 8. The lost man keeps walking and returns to the same spot, but the
01:58blood is gone and the sign doesn't say turn back anymore. He concludes that must have been the
02:02anomaly. When the other guy appears, the lost man tries asking him some questions, but he is ignored.
02:07Then he keeps walking and gets another asthma attack when he finds sign 0 again. After using his
02:12inhaler, the lost man continues to move and this time he's determined to keep an eye out for anomalies.
02:17He takes pictures of every detail of the corridor with his phone, including each poster,
02:20the other guy's face, the emergency alarm, every door, plus the photo booth and the lockers around
02:25the corner. The last poster has number 1, so the man realizes the numbers can go up. When he checks
02:31his phone, he discovers that all the pictures have yellow static and are useless. He decides to keep
02:35going and trust his memory, checking every detail as he walks. When he turns around he finds the other
02:40guy smiling at him and realizes that this is an anomaly, so he turns back. The creepy guy starts
02:45following him and after seeing him a few times, the lost man runs in fear until he trips and falls
02:49around the corner. Now the other guy stands calmly while looking at his phone. The lost man gets his
02:54water bottle from his bag to take a sip as he keeps on walking and finally notices that the sign
02:58says
02:582, so he's making progress. Afterward he returns to the same spot and starts looking at all the details
03:04again. Everything appears to be fine and he gets ready to leave, but at that moment he hears crying
03:08inside a locker. He looks inside and sees a baby, so he immediately closes the door again. Suddenly a baby
03:14starts crying in every locker at the same time and since this is an anomaly, the lost man runs back
03:19until he
03:19finds the sign that says 3. When he makes it to the same spot, he starts checking for anomalies while
03:24having trouble breathing. Once he's sure it's safe, he takes out his inhaler but accidentally drops it.
03:28At that moment he realizes that all the eyes on the posters are moving to follow him, so he quickly
03:33picks up his inhaler and starts going back. The eyes continue to follow him until he's left the corridor
03:37and soon he finds sign number 4. Back in the main spot, he checks everything and doesn't see any
03:42anomalies, so he advances until he sees sign number 5. Then he repeats the process but while checking for
03:47anomalies, he's interrupted by a call from his ex-girlfriend. When he answers it, she asks him
03:52if he's made a decision about the situation. The lost man is so distracted by this that he doesn't
03:56hear the babies crying in the background. He tells her about the incident in the subway,
04:00pointing out that nobody helped the mother and how guilty he feels for ignoring her too.
04:04He cries as he admits he's not father material. The lost man keeps walking while telling his ex he'll
04:09see her soon, not noticing that she's right behind him. When he finds the sign it says 0 again,
04:13proving that the call was an anomaly and his progress has been reset. He has no choice but
04:18to start over, and this time the main spot has turned yellow. Furious, he throws his bag on the
04:23ground, only for an asthma attack to follow. The lost man falls and throws up before collapsing.
04:28For several seconds he can do nothing but squirm and scream in anger. Eventually he calms down and
04:32reminds himself not to give up. He abandons his bag and turns around, walking until he finds sign number
04:371 again. The next time he reaches the spot, he sees a young boy instead of the other guy,
04:42so he assumes it's an anomaly and goes back. However the sign has a zero again, confusing
04:46the lost man. When he turns around he sees the little boy and notices a scar on his cheek.
04:51He tries talking to him, but the boy just runs away. The lost man follows him to the main area
04:56and finds the child pointing at the other guy. A flashback reveals that the other guy used to be
05:00a normal human who also got stuck in this strange place. When he found the child, he took his hand
05:05and brought him along to try to escape together, although the boy never said a word. Back then,
05:09the other walking person was a high school girl. After passing sign 5, the girl finally talked to
05:14him, saying she was also lost and wanted to team up. The man agreed and while they looked for anomalies,
05:19the girl wondered if they were dead and this was purgatory. She creepily asked him if he felt guilty
05:23about something, only to laugh and say she was joking. Then she wondered if the man truly wanted
05:27to get out and invited him to stay, saying that his routine was pathetic. Suddenly she started to
05:32repeat that phrase over and over before freezing for a few seconds, followed by her snapping and talking in a
05:37weird voice. Finally realizing that she was the anomaly, the man and the boy ran back and found
05:41sign number 6. In the main area, the girl was walking again while the duo checked for anomalies.
05:46The child stared at a door with a knob in the middle that wasn't there before,
05:50but he still wouldn't talk. The man didn't notice the knob and took the child to move ahead,
05:54only to find the sign back on zero. Furious, the man ripped off the instruction sign and threw it on
05:58the ground as he had a breakdown. Once he calmed down, he apologized to the child and they started over.
06:03In the main area they found the stairs to the exit, and the man excitedly ran toward them.
06:08However the kid kept pulling to stop him until he fell and scraped his cheek. The man asked him to
06:12come with him but the boy refused to move, so the guy ran up the stairs alone. Meanwhile the child
06:17walked back and found sign number 1, confirming that the stairs were an anomaly. When he reached
06:21the usual spot he found the guy walking with a cold expression on his face. The kid tried to pull
06:26at
06:26his hands to no avail, confirming that the man had become part of the loop. In the present,
06:30the lost man stares at the zero and realizes that the boy isn't an anomaly,
06:34so he invites him to come along. They reach the main area and the child points at the other guy,
06:38making the lost man realize that he isn't a real human anymore. The boy then stares at the back of
06:43the sign which says turn back again, but he still won't speak. The lost man doesn't see this and
06:47believes there are no anomalies, so they keep walking and end up on sign zero again. Without hesitation,
06:53the duo starts over and this time the man notices that the art in one of the posters has changed.
06:57He announces that there's an anomaly and wants to come back, but the kid keeps moving ahead.
07:01The man follows him and is shocked to find sign number 1, so the boy seems to know what he's
07:05doing.
07:06During the next loop, the man doesn't notice anything, but the child stares at the door with
07:10the knob in the middle. This makes the lost man see it too and together they turn back until they
07:14find sign number 2. When they enter the main area again, the lights go out. The lost man turns on
07:19the
07:19flashlight on his phone and he's startled by a sudden noise. It turns out the ventilation lid has fallen
07:24and blood is now dripping from the hole. As they hear a crying baby in the vents, the lost man
07:28turns around and almost bumps into the other guy, who keeps moving as usual. Then a rat runs near his
07:33feet and the baby's noises get worse. The man raises his flashlight to look at the sign and is horrified
07:38to discover that there are several rats with human parts attached to their backs. The mouth on a rat
07:42screeches at him and startles him into dropping his phone, so now the corridor is dark again.
07:46Thankfully the kid finds it and together they start running back. The lights then start flickering,
07:50revealing lots of blood stains and creepy rats on the floor. Eventually they turn the corner
07:55and the lights work normally again when they find sign 3. In the next loop, they see a cat running
07:59away and a woman taking over its spot. The kid finally speaks to call her mama and tries to run
08:04to her, but the lost man realizes it's an anomaly and holds him back. The woman touches her belly and
08:09asks the old man what he wants to do while he struggles with the desperate child, who ends up passing
08:13out.
08:14After finding sign number 4, the man sits to wait until the child awakens. He asks him what happened,
08:19so the boy explains he got separated from his mother on purpose because he wanted her to look for him.
08:23The man admits he did the same to his mom once and chatting about their childhoods reveals neither of
08:27them met their fathers. The duo returns to the main area and the kid immediately speaks when he sees
08:32the number 8 on the sign upside down. They go back and pass sign number 5 to enter the next
08:36loop.
08:37This time one of the doors opens, so they peek inside. In the darkness, the man sees himself in the
08:42subway ignoring the baby and the yelling passenger. Ashamed of himself, he closes the door and takes the kid
08:47back so they can find sign number 6. Before continuing, the man asks the boy what he wants
08:51to do when they come out. The kid says he wants pizza, but the man doesn't know how to answer
08:55his own question. Seeing him in distress, the child gifts him a shell for protection.
09:00In the next loop, the duo is checking the details when suddenly they hear an alarm.
09:04A huge wave of brown water then starts filling the corridor and the man begins to run, but the child
09:08trips and falls. When the man turns around to help him, the water covers them both. A dream then shows
09:14the lost man and his ex on the beach while their future kid plays in the water. They discuss the
09:18situation and the woman tells him that she truly believes he'll protect his son. The boy then brings
09:22him a shell for protection, and the lost man realizes that his kid is the same boy from the corridor.
09:27He hugs him tightly and plays with him in the water. In the corridor, the man resurfaces with the boy
09:31in
09:31his arms and together they hold onto the sign while the water keeps running around them. Unfortunately it's
09:36too strong and pushes the lost man until he lets go of the sign, carrying him away from the child.
09:40Moments later, the boy wakes up on the floor. The water is gone and has left lots of debris behind,
09:46but the lost man is nowhere in sight. Since the water was an anomaly, the kid walks back and finds
09:50sign number 7. He keeps moving and doesn't find anything different in the main area, so he walks
09:55ahead and disappears around the corner. Afterward the lost man reappears and he doesn't see anything
09:59either, so he moves forward until he finally finds sign number 8 right next to the stairs. After looking
10:04at the shell, he starts going down and soon the normal crowd appears around him. His phone has signal
10:09again and he can use it to buy a drink. Then he calls his ex and promises he's on his
10:13way to the
10:13hospital to be with her. When the man gets on the subway, the baby starts crying and the passenger
10:18yells at the mother again. This time, the lost man turns around and tries to help.
