Gi-hun, also anticipating the Masked Men’s intervention, has himself and his allies play dead, so they can ambush them when they arrive.
Once the Masked Men arrive to check on Gi-hun and his group, they wake up and attack them, stealing their weapons. They then make their getaway for the control room, only to be cornered by the Masked Men.
