The Hero (2013) s01e03 Episode Script
Trust
1 Previously: Nine contestants came to Panama to test their strenght.
Come on! Let's go! Push! courage [ screams .]
- and integrity.
- Shaun: I felt like I did Stab each and every one of you in the back.
Johnson: But only one will win your vote, America, and become the Hero.
Rachel: Oh, my god.
Johnson: Last week, a temptation was taken $35,000.
It's gonna make your teammates' challenge just a bit harder.
I got to take the money.
Johnson: trust was broken We got screwed.
Johnson: Tempers flared We just got [bleep.]
by a teammate.
You're a two-faced bitch.
- Athena: You got it, guys! - and the team failed - Are you okay? - leaving family man Darnell at a disadvantage in the Hero's challenge.
Think about your family! Think about your little girls! A race against the clock ended in another failure.
- I didn't get it done, man.
- Can a team torn apart recover from the consequences? You got to work together.
Find out now on "the Hero.
" 1x03 - Trust Darnell: Walking back in the house is difficult.
Everybody put their faith in me.
I do feel like I'm letting them down a little bit.
How would you feel ohh! Ahh! The second hero challenge, I came home with a knot, Not the 50 grand.
I'm moving on.
It's over with.
My time ran out.
So Dave: Tricky thing about the Hero challenge is, If you come back and say you failed, The people wonder, "did you really fail, Or did you win and keep the money and you're lying?" I'm like, "these challenges are nuts!" Shaun: I think he's telling the truth.
At the same time, who knows? Maybe I set the precedent and now he's figuring, "somebody else took the money.
Now I'll take the money.
" And he's got a great alibi.
Bam! Hit yourself in the head.
[ gasps .]
busts my shit.
These things are no joke.
Nah, man.
That's why you need every single advantage you can get.
Oh, man, dawg.
Darnell: I'm a little bit perturbed at Shaun.
If I had 20 minutes, I'd have gotten done.
Hopefully I can get that chance again, And hopefully, the next time, I have more than 10 minutes.
Nobody can get off the topic of money taken out of the pot, The time's shortened, blah, blah, blah, blah, blah.
Yo, dude.
What's up? Bottom line is this People are looking at this game a lot differently now.
Some people are gonna stick to their convictions.
And a lot of people you're gonna see Come right out of the weeds.
What's going on with you? Like, I guess I'm the only one That doesn't give a [bleep.]
that you took the money.
I don't.
I guess I'm one of Shaun's only allies In the house right now.
Everybody here wants to win money.
So, the one opportunity I saw Maybe it was the easy way out I took it.
Yeah.
I get it.
Everyone needs money for a different reason To take care of their kids.
My brother has medical bills.
We all are going to do what we need to do At the time that is right for us.
They're gonna try and make me into the villain Because that also makes it look good on their part.
I know.
But if you make me a bad guy, I can be a real guy.
[ beep .]
- Patty: Kiddos! - Marty: Yo, clue! Clue, clue, clue! Clue, clue! Charles: The next challenge is gonna be very interesting Because Shaun has to be there.
He was sat out in the last challenge.
It sucks.
I don't trust Shaun at all.
All right, guys.
"only six can go.
"you have one hour to decide.
Today's challenge: Trek.
Jungle.
Map.
" Yeah! It's gonna be fun! We're going to the jungle! Marty: Basically, we know Dave, Shaun, and Lydia are definitely going.
They sat out last time, so they're definitely in this one.
"if you are successful: "your time will be doubled in the solo hero's challenge.
"and $10,000 will be given to the American red cross.
" [ applause .]
Holla! $50,000 in the pot.
So, it'll be 350 g's! So, who wants to come sweat in the jungle with us? I absolutely do not need a break from any challenge, But I think a challenge needs a break from me, So there you go.
I'll leave it to you guys.
If you guys don't pick me, then that's cool.
Seriously.
I think that's cool that we're willing to share a little bit of these challenges.
Lydia: I think, today, we tried to start off on a new page.
So now it's just about trust.
If someone hands me a map, I cannot find my [bleep.]
I don't think this "direction" thing is my thing Which leaves Patty, Athena, Lydia, Shaun, Darnell, and Dave Out in the jungle.
All: Hero! There we go.
Dave: One of the things I don't like is Athena and Shaun have been bonding.
Obviously.
And I'm concerned.
If he gets another offer from the Rock, are they gonna make some kind of deal? So, I'm not putting him up For the second part of this challenge.
Dave makes a very good observation.
Yeah, but now you've put alliance in there, And now they can help each other get to the second part.
The police officer in me is coming out, And I'm starting to look at people.
Now I'm in interrogation/interview mode.
We'll work out.
We're gonna have to make our own challenge in here.
You're gonna get an offer.
You're gonna get a temptation.
Would you take the money? What if it's a lot? $50,000 to screw the team, you gonna take it? I don't know.
Charles: When I ask her if she would take the money, she hesitates.
Hmm.
Hmm-hmm-hmm.
I am very uneasy when I see those six walk through the door.
In fact, I stop Dave and just let him know, "be careful.
" I got my eye on sneaky snake.
But, hey more than one.
Charles: You got two snakes going out with you.
Dave, buddy, watch yourself and watch the team.
Ah ha ha ha! Johnson: Attention heroes.
You've arrived at devil's beach Notorious stretch of coastal jungle.
Hidden above the shore Is an abandoned u.
S.
Military battery.
That's your destination.
You'll each be given a map Marked with your own individual path Through the jungle to get you there.
When you get there, I need you to decide Which three of you have the courage to go inside, Which three of you are heading home.
You will have a half-hour To complete both parts of the team challenge.
Oh, and, by the way, There's a slight possibility There may be snakes.
[ chuckles .]
All right, let's roll.
Darnell: We have to basically get our way from the beach to the battery, And we just get hit with maps It says the first thing's a rope.
Individual maps, so we know we're gonna get split up.
I really wish we could've gone in groups, pairs, something like that.
Athena: Shaun took the money in the last challenge.
Do I trust that he won't take money again? No.
We're going now.
All: One, two, three, hero! Athena: But who's to say that I won't take money Or that Darnell won't take money? So I can honestly tell you That I trust very few people in this house, if any.
Johnson: I love the jungle.
It's hot, scary, like me, And you never know [chuckles.]
what's gonna jump out at you.
Patty.
Holy [bleep.]
[ chuckles .]
You know listen, come on, catch your breath.
[ panting .]
I get over one fear and We only have a minute.
I'll make this quick.
You and the team are about to decide which three are moving on And which three go back to the penthouse.
The offer is this.
It's not gonna affect the team challenge.
Okay.
It's $35,000 Okay.
For you to keep, on one condition.
If you take the money, if you take the 35 grand, all it does is flip it.
The three going back to the penthouse Will actually move on.
The three moving on will go back to the penthouse.
And if you accept the money, Then you can't tell anybody until the three are chosen.
What's your answer? Darnell: Trust is a big issue, you know? When you're in this kind of game, you don't really trust anyone all the way.
And now that we're separated in the jungle, can't keep an eye on anybody we're by ourselves.
We kind of have a feel of what happens when people get off by themselves.
They might get a temptation.
They might not.
Yo, yo.
Yo, yo! Come on, Darnell.
Come on.
And it could change the game drastically.
You don't know.
- That was awesome.
- Way to go, guys.
Good job.
Shaun: Good, everybody.
Good, everybody.
- All right.
- Everybody ready to continue? Darnell: Let's do it.
"your challenge continues inside the bunker.
"only three can go in.
"you have 15 minutes to decide.
" and the time is already running.
I want to go in.
Darnell: You in? Yeah.
Lydia: I want to go.
I definitely want to go.
Darnell: We all want to go.
Can I propose before we start Did anybody get an offer here? You got one.
You got one.
You got one.
All three of y'all got an offer? I got an offer, too.
Who took the offer? I didn't.
100%, I didn't.
I didn't.
I mean, I don't know what your offer was.
My offer was whatever three was picked, it would be swapped.
Yeah, that was my offer, too.
So, I didn't take the offer Because we need to put in people that we can trust.
I'm gonna say no Because I don't want Athena and Shaun In this third challenge.
I don't trust them.
All right, guys, I said from the beginning I'm straight up.
Man, I made it clear to everybody That I just don't take those kind of bribes.
I'm not gonna trick anybody, so I'm gonna decline.
Darnell: What's up, baby girl? What's up? Nothing.
It was just a you know, An offer that wouldn't have totally changed the game, But I gave my word.
What's your answer? [ voice breaking .]
I can't do it 'cause I don't have team consensus, So I won't do it.
You gave your word.
But I'm just crying 'cause I really need the money, But, no, I won't do it.
Did you take the offer? I told you the first time when I took the offer.
There's no reason for me to lie now.
Yes or no? No, I didn't.
So, I could be walking with potentially $70,000 At the end of this.
It could be $70,000 in about 30 seconds.
Yeah.
$70,000 sounds pretty damn good.
Shaun, man, I'm being straight up with you, man.
You broke all of our trust, and you got to earn it.
So then if it flips, it's automatically assumed that it's me? Yeah.
Yeah.
You would be the first suspect.
All right.
I'm being straight up.
Why wouldn't it be you? Shaun, I know that you're here and I believe in second chances And I want to trust you.
Athena, I know that earlier You stated that you would've took the offer.
I don't feel comfortable with you both going in.
Dave: Athena, how do you feel about this? I just did a second part.
I don't care.
I'd like to go in.
I don't think I'm afraid of snakes.
I don't know.
Look, the fact is, you know it's y'all three.
You're being quiet.
I'm sorry.
Stop being so quiet.
You say you have this strong personality, I need to see that.
Act like you want it.
Know what I'm saying? It's y'all three for me.
That's easy.
It's only not you for me 'cause what happened last time.
If everybody's already telling her they don't have trust in her, She hasn't done a goddamn thing, that doesn't make any sense.
All right.
I want to go.
I don't care what makes sense.
Nothing makes sense right now to me.
All right.
Put me in.
Except for the fact I'm not putting you in because of what happened.
What do you feel? I just know I want to go in And I'd to go in with you and I'd like to go in with you.
I can't take this.
We're a team.
- Can someone make a [bleep.]
decision? - Darnell: I think we just did! Shaun: Dave's going in.
Lydia's going in.
- Patty's going in.
- And so we Done deal.
We're good.
All right, I know you guys made some big decisions.
Who are the three who are moving on? Right here.
Okay, the three who are moving on are right there.
Well, that's not gonna happen.
Someone took an offer for money.
Talked to Dave, Lydia, Patty [bleep.]
You're going back home.
Patty: I'm pissed.
I'm just so freaking mad.
Darnell, Shaun, Athena, you're going on.
Lydia: It had to be Shaun.
How do you like somebody who lies to you in your face? They're looking at me like, "you son of a bitch," Because they know that I took the money.
But you know what? It wasn't me.
$70,000 sounds pretty damn good There it is.
Except not this time.
[ laughs .]
not this time.
Not doing it.
Not doing it? Unh-unh, not doing it.
You're not gonna do it? I appreciate it, but no.
Not for me.
All right, you guys are probably pissed, upset.
I understand.
You have a lot to talk about, so get going.
You gonna take it.
Dave: As I walked away, I looked back and I looked at Athena, And she had this little smirk on her face.
It's the same kind of look When someone bluffs in a big poker hand And wins the pot.
And I'm like, "holy shit.
That's what she did, man.
" UmI'll take it.
All right.
You tell me why.
Tell me why.
No one's getting hurt.
Right.
We're all completely capable Of whatever's in that bunker and Just see how it goes, I guess.
Athena: Yeah, I took the money.
And I don't feel bad about it.
Did you get an offer? I took it.
You took it.
That's why we're standing here.
I'll take it.
I'll take it.
I took the money for me and for my family And to stop caring what everyone else thinks about me Because I don't care What people in this house think about me anymore.
All right.
Well, here's what I got.
Deep inside this bunker, there's a very special case.
I need you guys to get the case and bring it to me.
You have 21 minutes left to complete the challenge.
All right, you guys are gonna need these.
Here's your torches and ipad with a map on it.
Cool.
It's "boots to asses" time.
Absolutely.
Up that way.
Word.
Word.
So, we got the bag and we made our way back to the bunker.
Darnell: I'll go first.
[ snake hissing .]
Relax, relax.
Yeah, just don't piss him off.
Watch yourself, cat daddy.
Shaun: I got you, I got you.
Okay, this way.
I got it.
Holy [bleep.]
[ hissing .]
okay, okay.
Darnell: Walking in, there's a whole bunch of snakes coming in here snakes hanging off of things.
Oh, whoa, whoa.
There's snakes everywhere, dawg.
I mean, it's nuts.
If you're scared of snakes, it's not a good place to be.
Athena: Okay.
[ laughs .]
Darnell: Hell, no! There's this enormous vat of snakes.
Snakes are a fear of mine.
You've got to be kidding me.
[ laughs .]
Darnell: Hell, no! Oh, there's a whole bunch of friends here.
That one's ready to eat right there.
There's this enormous vat of snakes all shapes, all sizes, all colors.
They're coming over, they're hanging over.
And snakes are a fear of mine.
Athena: In front of these snakes, There's measuring tape laid out.
"length of the albino snake" We have to measure these mother[bleep.]
We have to measure them.
You got to be kidding me.
[ hissing .]
I think we should get the big ones out of the way first.
All right, let's do this.
Athena: I have to touch these snakes.
I've never touched a snake in my life.
All right, take that.
I'll lead you on this end, and let's try to get him down.
You get in the middle.
Don't worry about it.
Don't worry about it.
Just don't squeeze too hard.
Let's just stretch him out.
Darnell was the beast master in this thing.
He was just taking control.
Talk to me.
We're good, right? I don't know I'm whispering like he speaks english, but I think it's helping.
He was in there whispering to the snakes, Trying to keep them calm.
Okay, my guy, I'm gonna need you Okay, okay, okay.
Lord, have mercy.
That's gonna be nine.
Nine.
Now, the pink one.
All right.
Darnell: Got this crazy-looking red snake.
I just hope he's not mad or hungry.
- Don't hurt him.
Don't hurt him.
- Shaun: We are stretched.
Oh, you are nice.
That looks like what do you got, 44? 43.
Yep, that's it.
And that's right on.
If I lose this challenge, that's it.
I took the money.
I flipped it.
They are so close.
They are so close.
So close.
This one, I think, is tinier, though.
I'm gonna look like a huge [bleep.]
If I do not win this challenge.
Okay, 43 for the pink.
Albino one is 104.
98 albino two.
Smallest we have what? Shaun: Smallest we have 27.
We got 245 right there.
245.
Minus our 27 218.
I'm going.
Is our 218.
Shaun: Let's go with that.
Boom.
Ahh! Okay.
Okay.
[bleep.]
Marty: Whoever's gonna be in that hero challenge Is probably gonna be beat to crap.
Charles: Yeah, but also, are they gonna have all the advantage, Or did someone screw them today? Yeah, did someone screw them over? Honestly, in this point of the game, I cannot trust Athena And I can't trust Shaun in the competition.
And like I said, we're open targets, man.
Who knows what they're gonna say that we did? Exactly.
Look, look, look.
What the frig? Everyone's mad.
Everyone's pissed.
Patty: Any of you guys take some money? What? Any of you guys take money? Rachel: Swear to god no.
Dude, what happened? We got [bleep.]
again.
No way.
You swear to god? Yeah.
We come home, and I'm pissed.
Rock offers me $35,000, so I say no.
Said it's not gonna hurt the team, just gonna flip it.
If you take a temptation, that the easy way out.
That's the weak way.
That's not a hero way.
So, to make a long story short, Of course, the Rock comes in, and it flipped.
Now, you know who's just sitting there Saying not a god[bleep.]
thing? Tell it.
Athena.
Marty: I guarantee you that snake took the money Because she said right before we left, to him, That she would take money and screw the team.
I definitely think there's more than one liar in the house, And I think their name is Shaun That's a given.
And I think their name is Athena.
There's weasels in this house, and if they can be bought I want to earn it.
They're weak people.
They're weak.
You still have to make sure it's her.
That's all I say.
You have to have facts.
Who could it have been? Darnell never even got an offer.
I mean, someone accepted the offer.
Although Darnell right away did say, "I'll be out.
" Shaun: We might want to measure one more of the small ones.
But that one might be the smallest.
And there's another one back in that corner Ahhh! Whoa, whoa, whoa.
I don't know.
It's not even I'm afraid of them.
I just It's that jump.
We're running out of time.
We got to find the right snake.
I don't know what we're gonna do.
I don't know.
That one looks small, too.
No, that was the same one.
No, no, no, my guy's right here.
I thought he was over there.
I thought it was that one.
It's just looking right at you.
Damn.
God damn.
I'm not gonna let us fail.
We are going to win this challenge no matter what.
But if we don't, The only snakes that are gonna be getting measured Is gonna be Athena and possibly myself.
Come here, baby.
We got 22.
What did we have at first? 27.
- That's minus five, you want to do it minus five? - Athena: Yes.
Yes! Yes! Yes! Yes! Whoo! That's what I'm talkin' 'bout! Okay, 1701.
1-7-0-1.
Oh, my goodness! Boom.
Got you.
Yeah! Oh, yeah! Oh, sh okay.
Darnell: It didn't happen the way that everybody In the house wanted it to happen.
Athena took the temptation.
We're successful, though.
I got the box.
Let me get that.
Let me get that.
I'm going back to the condo.
Everything's good.
We kind of know that there's gonna be tension, But at this point, everything is cool.
Let's go back here and tell everybody what we did.
[ laughs .]
- You got it! - Athena: Whoo! Word.
Word! [ laughs .]
Congratulations.
Thank you.
Congratulations.
You completed the team challenge, You won an additional $10,000 for charity, And you made the Hero's challenge Just a little bit easier.
How's everything going back at the penthouse? Everybody playing nice? World war iii, I think, is waiting for us Back at the place.
Well, he's probably safe, but the two of us Well, whatever's gonna happen, Listen, don't turn that into "jersey shore," okay? I'll come up there and kick everybody's ass, all right? [ laughs .]
all right, let's see what's in this.
[ laughter .]
Darnell: All that for some beer! A beer with the Rock Doesn't get much better than that.
Well done, today.
Congratulations.
Tonight, I want you to go home, get some rest, Because one of you tomorrow Is gonna compete in the solo hero's challenge, And whoever that is, I'm gonna push you.
Until then, to heroes! To heroes.
To heroes.
Salud.
We are jacked up that we were successful.
Beer with the Rock check.
There's no greater feeling in the world Than the Rock congratulating you for winning a challenge With a beer that is sick.
This is the coolest day of my life.
We don't know who took it.
You still have to ask.
It was her, definitely.
But you have to ask.
Yeah, she was probably thinking, "ha.
I got money Ai got to kick you guys out of the challenge.
" That's probably what she's thinking.
Mm-hmm.
Dave: So, what happened? Charles: Finally, the door opens.
It is tense.
You can just feel it.
Nobody's talking.
Eyeballs are just tracking them across the room.
What's going on, everybody? We won.
I'm sure I'm walking into a lion's den.
Charles: Lot of snakes? There were snakes all over the walls That's what I heard.
Seemed like a lot of snakes in the pit.
A lot of snakes.
A lot of snakes.
All right, this situation here tonight Is a little [singsong voice.]
awkward.
So, we end up coming through.
We climb up a ladder.
More snakes than ever.
More snakes than you could ever imagine.
So, we end up coming through.
We climb up a ladder.
More snakes than ever.
More snakes than you could ever imagine.
- They hangin over - Did you bring any back? Big, huge snakes.
Shaun's talking all about the challenge.
No one cares about the challenge.
Tell us later.
We want to know what happened with the money.
Dave: I just want it out in front of everybody.
Shaun, did you take the $35,000 bribe? Absolutely not.
Darnell, did you take it? Hell, no.
Thank you.
Athena.
Athena, did you take Yeah, I took it.
You took it.
She did.
Patty: My kids thank you very much.
That was my moment today To have just a moment to feel [bleep.]
good.
That's fine.
Patty: Athena knows that I wanted to show myself That I was gonna do something really brave.
I don't blame her.
I don't blame her for one [bleep.]
second.
Of course you don't, 'cause you're just like her.
You did the same thing.
No, I'm gonna tell you why I don't blame her.
What I did was much more wrong than what she did.
She knew she wasn't gonna get picked Because from the start, before you knew anything, Everybody had already counted her out And said, "I don't trust you in this challenge.
" Because you can't! You can't! I never once said that.
Two out of three said it.
No, listen.
No, you listen.
Listen! Let me finish! Shut the [bleep.]
up.
Two out of three said it.
No, listen to me! Shut up.
I said to her Okay, shorty, calm down.
It's fine, napoleon, just calm down.
Okay, why don't you yell a little bit? 'cause you're just over-talking me.
Let me talk! Okay, I'm over-talking.
I never accused her of not doing it.
You're both weasels in my book.
Whatever.
Dave: I don't know how Shaun and Athena Can leave this house feeling good.
I mean, they're ostracized right now.
They're such weasels.
They're such liars.
You got your $35,000 great.
I hope you're happy and, you know, have a nice life.
What had she done before we left today And everybody was like, "oh, well, watch out for Athena"? Weak people make excuses.
People with integrity don't do those things.
Before she left today, nobody had any reason to suspect anything.
You are weak.
Pathetic and weak.
Marty: She deliberately said she'd take money and screw the team.
She told charles that herself.
I said, "charles, I would take money and screw the team"? Yes, you did.
Yeah, that's the conversation.
Were you in there, Marty? Were you in there? Charles told me.
Charles just told people a lot of [bleep.]
You're a snake.
Shut up! You're a [bleep.]
snake! Don't try to get loud against charles Because you were the one Yo, bitch, shut your [bleep.]
mouth.
How about that? No, earlier, you How about you shut your [bleep.]
I'm not gonna shut my mother[bleep.]
mouth.
Stop.
Stop.
Stop.
Because you're weak.
And she knew she was gonna do this if she had an opportunity.
No doubt in my mind I was gonna take the money When he started this [bleep.]
it was premeditated.
You'll never on a hero's challenge, so good job.
I wasn't anyway, honey.
Good job, honey! You're a [bleep.]
snake.
Be the big guy and walk away with everyone.
You're a snake! Goodbye.
Be the big guy.
I have my reasons for doing what I have to do And I don't have to explain them to anybody in this house.
She knew if she got an offer, she'd take it.
Do you see how she is? She's a piece of shit.
I knew it.
Athena: I'm here for my brother.
My brother, since he was 4 years old now 26 Has gone through a ton of medical issues.
We grew up fatherless, on welfare, And he had a brain-stem tumor as a little boy.
He was 4, and I was 3.
We're only 13 months apart, extremely close.
And so he grew up left side paralyzed, hearing gone, Ridiculed by everyone, So I had to kick some ass for him my whole life.
And if I can win this for him, Pay off my brother's medical bills, It would just make life easier.
Athena: I hope one of us goes to the Hero's challenge.
Good luck.
Yeah.
From a political standpoint, if they were smart, They would put you or I in there.
If I know this house, They will not send Shaun into the Hero's challenge, And I'm sure not going into the Hero's challenge.
Two weeks in a row, You're gonna send a very likeable guy.
And everybody at home is gonna see that.
And at this point, He looks better than just about anybody in this place.
He hasn't really gotten into anything crazy with anybody, Pretty much drama-free, Mature, he's got kids, a sympathetic figure, And now everybody's gonna put him in two weeks in a row.
[ sighs .]
I'm willing to go into the Hero's challenge.
I'm thinking about my kids, thinking about my wife.
I'm thinking about all the folks that saw me fail last time.
It's time to get down.
But even though no one has a problem with me, People definitely have to feel like, "dude had his moment.
" So, I don't really feel like I'll get voted into it again.
I still want it.
I definitely still want it.
I just don't feel like I'm gonna get it.
All right, heroes.
You can have a seat.
You guys know the drill.
You know how this works.
We started off with nine.
Now we're down to three Darnell, Shaun, and Athena.
The time has come.
Who are you gonna vote in? Who do you want to compete in the Hero's challenge? Just keep in mind, as always, If they win, they have the option To keep the $50,000 for themselves Or turn it in to the bigger pot, Which, as of now, it's at $300,000.
By the end of the night, it could be $350,000.
This week's test was about reversal of fortune.
What happens when the expected becomes the unexpected? How do you deal with it? How do you operate not only in the field, But how do you operate back home, home base? All right, that said, Patty You and your family could've really used the money.
Yeah, we really could've.
I know.
You didn't take it.
Nope.
When you found out somebody else did, How'd it make you feel? I was bummed out.
I kind of knew you it was you, Athena, Because you weren't fighting to get it in like you did in colón.
And I'm just hurt.
It wasn't about the money.
It was about showing my family especially That I am overcoming some major fears, And I was willing to put myself out there.
I think that's what hurt me the most.
Athena, tell me about your life at home And why this money was so important to you.
I don't know if I can do that.
You can do it.
[ voice breaking .]
my brother has been bullied His entire life.
And I'm the one that stuck up for him his entire life.
And I walked into this house And I had six people breathing down my neck For taking money to make his life better.
And I had Lydia screaming, and I'm just trying to walk away, And I have everyone pointing fingers.
And my whole life, I wanted to swap with my brother And I wanted his life And I would've taken all the pain from him.
And I don't know how any of you feel heroic Belittling someone, Sitting on the couch and mocking someone I would never do that to any of you.
And I would take money in one second, And that would be more heroic Than anything that any of you did last night.
And you can have your own opinion, But my brother is the strongest man I've ever met, And I've learned everything from him.
And if I made him proud by taking money And if I can go home and make his life better, You sit here and you think about Exactly how you made me feel last night, And that is fine, but I am shaking because none of you were heroic last night.
Excuse me I did not say anything.
Rachel didn't say I did not say anything.
I didn't judge you for taking any money.
You had to comment, Patty.
You made me feel like [bleep.]
you lied to me.
And that was what I judged you on, Not the fact of the money.
Everybody is struggling.
Everybody has hard times.
That's why.
Don't convolute.
Don't turn into the victim.
I didn't bully any of you.
I didn't bully you.
I didn't put you down None of you.
You just lied to me.
You just you lied twice.
And again if you were a true woman, You would've said, "you know what?" I am a true woman.
Do not judge my character! You are no one to judge my character How I was raised and who I am! You put your [bleep.]
away and your mouth away And then maybe we can talk! Don't let yourself I'm not.
Have some class.
She has a lot of class.
Oh, does she? 'cause I didn't see [bleep.]
in weeks.
Guys, guys.
You victimize yourself.
You yell at other people.
Here's the thing.
Bottom line is this There's just a lot of emotions, a lot of different opinions, But sometimes, Being a hero means you got to find empathy.
Try to.
We've all been there.
We've all been judged well before its time.
Part of being a hero giving empathy a shot And understanding why somebody did something.
You got to ask yourselves a question Do you feel heroic? Do you feel heroic? Johnson: Final three It's your opportunity to say something to the group.
Darnell? Straight shooter, man.
You know? If I go, if I win, this one's for my family, man.
Whether that changes your vote or not.
I shoot straight.
I am what I say I am.
I think that's one of the only reasons I haven't got in the middle of any of this I've shot straight.
So, just know that.
- Mm-hmm.
- That's all I got.
What you got, Shaun? [ chuckles .]
I'm not ignorant.
I know nobody's gonna vote for me.
Nobody's gonna vote for Athena.
Darnell's getting two weeks in a row, And that's perfectly fine.
But at the end of the day, If the rest of you could admit to not being The saints that you think you are, You know, you might be a little bit more real people.
Johnson: Athena? I didn't take money from you guys.
That $35,00 was never in the pot, going into the pot.
$50,000 that's our money, in my head.
That will go into the pot.
And my word may be [bleep.]
right now, but I swear to you, That $50,000 is everybody's, and that would go into the pot.
That's all I'm saying.
$35,000 out there to change a life? Yes.
Was it any of yours? No.
That's what I'm gonna leave you with.
Stop worrying about everyone else.
Focus on you because you're here for you.
Johnson: Okay.
Well, with that, cast your vote.
All right.
Big moment of truth.
This week's hero is Do it for the mcadams, man.
They deserve it.
Those girls deserve it.
Lydia: That's right.
All right.
The choice has been made.
You're gonna go again, "d.
" Meet me at the centennial bridge.
Whoo! All right, man.
You can do it.
You can do this.
For the girls.
Athena, last night, I was very tired.
I didn't feel good.
And that's not normally me.
And I really feel like crap.
So, anyway, I apologize for coming off wrong last night.
I'm personally not a good communicator.
And then, once thrown into the situation, It's like I speak and it just comes out.
I don't hate you, Athena.
Shaun, I always went to bat for you.
[ voice breaking .]
it's just frustrating 'cause I believe that everybody's a good person.
I really do.
Everybody's a good person.
And I just wish everybody would make the right decisions.
And I truly felt bad after we had that conflict Because I said I didn't want to bully you.
And I don't know what you got going on, But I did honestly feel bad.
[ sobbing .]
I felt bad that we made you feel that way.
Athena: Dave and Lydia said, "I'm sorry, I'm sorry, I'm sorry.
" I'm over it.
I fought whatever fight I could up until this point, and you can only be put down so many times before you just you can't give any more.
You can't ask for anything else because you're not going to get it.
I like the fact that we're all opinionated and have our minds And can say that should be the way it should be.
Just we kind of got real mean to each other.
And, boy, it took a toll on us, man.
I don't know.
We'll figure it out.
A new day.
Darnell: Heading into this hero challenge, Obviously, I'm nervous.
I failed the first one, But, you know, everybody deserves a second chance.
I'm just ready to take on the challenge, And whatever he tells me to do I'm gonna have to do.
"d," you got another shot.
And that shot is 450 feet to the top of this bridge.
Whoa! You go up on the inside, And you come down on the outside.
As you're coming down, You're gonna see clues to a riddle.
Not only am I having to climb up this joint, I got to get clues while I'm going down it? You had 10 minutes, But because you completed the team challenge, You now have 20 minutes to bring me that solution.
This is your shot at redemption.
You bring it.
Come on.
Get it.
So, I'm climbing up the inside of the tower.
It's 450 feet, 45 stories.
I mean, it's a hell of a climb, man.
Only thing in my mind on the way up this thing is succeeding.
Nothing else is gonna be acceptable.
[ bird cawing .]
[ horn honks .]
Yes, indeed! Whoo! When I got to the top, it was nuts.
I'm not afraid of heights, but, you know, I've never rappelled from that high.
This is scary as hell.
Let's do this before I get too scared.
All right, Darnell, it's Rock.
I'm right here with you, man.
I hear you.
You're looking great.
Let's just think about getting that first clue.
At this point, I am panicking.
I'm pep-talking myself in my head, "you have to do this.
You have to do this.
"forget about the fact that you're 450 feet off the ground.
"focus on getting down and getting each clue And putting that together.
" Whatever you do, don't look down.
Ohh! Johnson: Looking great.
When you see that first clue, I want you to read it and then shout it out to me.
Darnell: While rappelling down, it kind of made me understand how I was gonna have to swing myself out there.
I need to push myself out this far to get to this clue.
So, all I was focusing on was not passing the clue Because I knew if I passed it, it was over with.
That's it.
First clue "where can you find.
" You're doing great.
[ breathing heavily .]
There you go, that's your second clue.
And now this is starting to really become a game.
At this point, I don't really know where it's going.
Here we go.
Stay focused.
Stay focused.
"where can you find Cities without people and forests without trees.
" I'm telling myself, "look, riddles are always easy.
"they're always the obvious thing.
"riddles are meant to make you overthink them.
It's something simple.
" You're doing great, just think about Getting down to that next clue.
All right.
Here we go.
[ grunts .]
Oh, this is so dope.
[ grunts .]
Just think, "d.
" riddles are always harder You just always overthink a riddle.
People always overthink riddles.
[ grunts .]
Oh! Darnell, you got them all.
You got all the clues.
Think about it and come to me.
Okay.
I just got off a hero's challenge And epic fail didn't get it done, Not to mention I busted myself in the head with a wrench.
Whatever happened in that last hero's challenge was over with, So far as I'm concerned, and I'm thinking to myself, "I have to get this done.
" Last week, you looked like black aquaman.
Now you look like black spider-man.
Here I come.
Nice and easy.
It ain't how you start.
It's how you finish.
Your boots are on the ground.
[ breathing heavily .]
Great.
Great, great, great, great.
First half first half is done.
Now, I'm gonna read these off to you, okay? Okay.
Here we go.
It's a map.
Darnell mcadams, you just won $50,000! Yeah! Yeah! $50,000! Yeah! Yeah! Yeah! That's what I'm talking about, baby! That's what I'm talking about! Ooh-wee! $50,000.
And here's the thing the $50,00 is in that bag.
You have the option to keep it for yourself Or turn it in to the big grand pot.
Hey, look, man Before you decide, someone wants to talk to you.
No way.
No way.
Hello? Daddy! Oh, my god! Hey, baby! Oh! What up, baby?! [ voice breaking .]
what up? Ah! Ah! It's just you have no idea.
It's so good to hear your voice.
Darnell: As soon as I heard my wife's voice, I lost it.
I started crying like a little broad.
It was better than the 50 grand.
Hi, baby! Hey, toots! Hey, boo, what's up? Y'all being good? Daddy, I wrote you a message.
You wrote me a message? What does it say, baby? What does it say? It says, "I love you, daddy.
When I grow up, I want to be like you.
" That's so sweet.
I love you, too.
[ sniffles .]
Daddy misses you so much.
- We miss you, too.
- We miss you, too.
Baby, I just rappelled down 450 feet off of a bridge.
What?! I had to solve a riddle, and if I solved the riddle, I have a chance to win $50,000.
Whoo! Either I can take it for us or I can put it in the big pot and hope to win it at the end.
Let me tell you something.
Baby, I'm taking that money.
I'm taking that money, baby.
[ laughs .]
That's gonna put us in a way better spot than we in.
I'm so proud of you.
All right.
Bye.
Darnell: Hearing their voices Put everything in perspective for me.
Darnell, $50,000.
[ laughs .]
Yeah! Now all of a sudden, Nothing at the house, nothing on this challenge They don't mean anything anymore.
Daddy's coming home with 50 grand, Which is gonna be fantastic.
You know, out of debt.
It's gonna be fantastic! Thank you, man.
Back to the penthouse, bro.
Indeed.
Indeed.
Good job! [ grunts .]
I feel like I did this the right way.
I didn't screw nobody over.
I didn't flip-flop anything.
And some people are gonna look out there like, "look, he brought home money for his family.
He did it the right way.
" Some people are gonna be like, "well, heroes don't take money.
" I can't control that.
All I can is worry about the things I can control.
[ humming .]
Ah, that was amazing.
Come on! Let's go! Push! courage [ screams .]
- and integrity.
- Shaun: I felt like I did Stab each and every one of you in the back.
Johnson: But only one will win your vote, America, and become the Hero.
Rachel: Oh, my god.
Johnson: Last week, a temptation was taken $35,000.
It's gonna make your teammates' challenge just a bit harder.
I got to take the money.
Johnson: trust was broken We got screwed.
Johnson: Tempers flared We just got [bleep.]
by a teammate.
You're a two-faced bitch.
- Athena: You got it, guys! - and the team failed - Are you okay? - leaving family man Darnell at a disadvantage in the Hero's challenge.
Think about your family! Think about your little girls! A race against the clock ended in another failure.
- I didn't get it done, man.
- Can a team torn apart recover from the consequences? You got to work together.
Find out now on "the Hero.
" 1x03 - Trust Darnell: Walking back in the house is difficult.
Everybody put their faith in me.
I do feel like I'm letting them down a little bit.
How would you feel ohh! Ahh! The second hero challenge, I came home with a knot, Not the 50 grand.
I'm moving on.
It's over with.
My time ran out.
So Dave: Tricky thing about the Hero challenge is, If you come back and say you failed, The people wonder, "did you really fail, Or did you win and keep the money and you're lying?" I'm like, "these challenges are nuts!" Shaun: I think he's telling the truth.
At the same time, who knows? Maybe I set the precedent and now he's figuring, "somebody else took the money.
Now I'll take the money.
" And he's got a great alibi.
Bam! Hit yourself in the head.
[ gasps .]
busts my shit.
These things are no joke.
Nah, man.
That's why you need every single advantage you can get.
Oh, man, dawg.
Darnell: I'm a little bit perturbed at Shaun.
If I had 20 minutes, I'd have gotten done.
Hopefully I can get that chance again, And hopefully, the next time, I have more than 10 minutes.
Nobody can get off the topic of money taken out of the pot, The time's shortened, blah, blah, blah, blah, blah.
Yo, dude.
What's up? Bottom line is this People are looking at this game a lot differently now.
Some people are gonna stick to their convictions.
And a lot of people you're gonna see Come right out of the weeds.
What's going on with you? Like, I guess I'm the only one That doesn't give a [bleep.]
that you took the money.
I don't.
I guess I'm one of Shaun's only allies In the house right now.
Everybody here wants to win money.
So, the one opportunity I saw Maybe it was the easy way out I took it.
Yeah.
I get it.
Everyone needs money for a different reason To take care of their kids.
My brother has medical bills.
We all are going to do what we need to do At the time that is right for us.
They're gonna try and make me into the villain Because that also makes it look good on their part.
I know.
But if you make me a bad guy, I can be a real guy.
[ beep .]
- Patty: Kiddos! - Marty: Yo, clue! Clue, clue, clue! Clue, clue! Charles: The next challenge is gonna be very interesting Because Shaun has to be there.
He was sat out in the last challenge.
It sucks.
I don't trust Shaun at all.
All right, guys.
"only six can go.
"you have one hour to decide.
Today's challenge: Trek.
Jungle.
Map.
" Yeah! It's gonna be fun! We're going to the jungle! Marty: Basically, we know Dave, Shaun, and Lydia are definitely going.
They sat out last time, so they're definitely in this one.
"if you are successful: "your time will be doubled in the solo hero's challenge.
"and $10,000 will be given to the American red cross.
" [ applause .]
Holla! $50,000 in the pot.
So, it'll be 350 g's! So, who wants to come sweat in the jungle with us? I absolutely do not need a break from any challenge, But I think a challenge needs a break from me, So there you go.
I'll leave it to you guys.
If you guys don't pick me, then that's cool.
Seriously.
I think that's cool that we're willing to share a little bit of these challenges.
Lydia: I think, today, we tried to start off on a new page.
So now it's just about trust.
If someone hands me a map, I cannot find my [bleep.]
I don't think this "direction" thing is my thing Which leaves Patty, Athena, Lydia, Shaun, Darnell, and Dave Out in the jungle.
All: Hero! There we go.
Dave: One of the things I don't like is Athena and Shaun have been bonding.
Obviously.
And I'm concerned.
If he gets another offer from the Rock, are they gonna make some kind of deal? So, I'm not putting him up For the second part of this challenge.
Dave makes a very good observation.
Yeah, but now you've put alliance in there, And now they can help each other get to the second part.
The police officer in me is coming out, And I'm starting to look at people.
Now I'm in interrogation/interview mode.
We'll work out.
We're gonna have to make our own challenge in here.
You're gonna get an offer.
You're gonna get a temptation.
Would you take the money? What if it's a lot? $50,000 to screw the team, you gonna take it? I don't know.
Charles: When I ask her if she would take the money, she hesitates.
Hmm.
Hmm-hmm-hmm.
I am very uneasy when I see those six walk through the door.
In fact, I stop Dave and just let him know, "be careful.
" I got my eye on sneaky snake.
But, hey more than one.
Charles: You got two snakes going out with you.
Dave, buddy, watch yourself and watch the team.
Ah ha ha ha! Johnson: Attention heroes.
You've arrived at devil's beach Notorious stretch of coastal jungle.
Hidden above the shore Is an abandoned u.
S.
Military battery.
That's your destination.
You'll each be given a map Marked with your own individual path Through the jungle to get you there.
When you get there, I need you to decide Which three of you have the courage to go inside, Which three of you are heading home.
You will have a half-hour To complete both parts of the team challenge.
Oh, and, by the way, There's a slight possibility There may be snakes.
[ chuckles .]
All right, let's roll.
Darnell: We have to basically get our way from the beach to the battery, And we just get hit with maps It says the first thing's a rope.
Individual maps, so we know we're gonna get split up.
I really wish we could've gone in groups, pairs, something like that.
Athena: Shaun took the money in the last challenge.
Do I trust that he won't take money again? No.
We're going now.
All: One, two, three, hero! Athena: But who's to say that I won't take money Or that Darnell won't take money? So I can honestly tell you That I trust very few people in this house, if any.
Johnson: I love the jungle.
It's hot, scary, like me, And you never know [chuckles.]
what's gonna jump out at you.
Patty.
Holy [bleep.]
[ chuckles .]
You know listen, come on, catch your breath.
[ panting .]
I get over one fear and We only have a minute.
I'll make this quick.
You and the team are about to decide which three are moving on And which three go back to the penthouse.
The offer is this.
It's not gonna affect the team challenge.
Okay.
It's $35,000 Okay.
For you to keep, on one condition.
If you take the money, if you take the 35 grand, all it does is flip it.
The three going back to the penthouse Will actually move on.
The three moving on will go back to the penthouse.
And if you accept the money, Then you can't tell anybody until the three are chosen.
What's your answer? Darnell: Trust is a big issue, you know? When you're in this kind of game, you don't really trust anyone all the way.
And now that we're separated in the jungle, can't keep an eye on anybody we're by ourselves.
We kind of have a feel of what happens when people get off by themselves.
They might get a temptation.
They might not.
Yo, yo.
Yo, yo! Come on, Darnell.
Come on.
And it could change the game drastically.
You don't know.
- That was awesome.
- Way to go, guys.
Good job.
Shaun: Good, everybody.
Good, everybody.
- All right.
- Everybody ready to continue? Darnell: Let's do it.
"your challenge continues inside the bunker.
"only three can go in.
"you have 15 minutes to decide.
" and the time is already running.
I want to go in.
Darnell: You in? Yeah.
Lydia: I want to go.
I definitely want to go.
Darnell: We all want to go.
Can I propose before we start Did anybody get an offer here? You got one.
You got one.
You got one.
All three of y'all got an offer? I got an offer, too.
Who took the offer? I didn't.
100%, I didn't.
I didn't.
I mean, I don't know what your offer was.
My offer was whatever three was picked, it would be swapped.
Yeah, that was my offer, too.
So, I didn't take the offer Because we need to put in people that we can trust.
I'm gonna say no Because I don't want Athena and Shaun In this third challenge.
I don't trust them.
All right, guys, I said from the beginning I'm straight up.
Man, I made it clear to everybody That I just don't take those kind of bribes.
I'm not gonna trick anybody, so I'm gonna decline.
Darnell: What's up, baby girl? What's up? Nothing.
It was just a you know, An offer that wouldn't have totally changed the game, But I gave my word.
What's your answer? [ voice breaking .]
I can't do it 'cause I don't have team consensus, So I won't do it.
You gave your word.
But I'm just crying 'cause I really need the money, But, no, I won't do it.
Did you take the offer? I told you the first time when I took the offer.
There's no reason for me to lie now.
Yes or no? No, I didn't.
So, I could be walking with potentially $70,000 At the end of this.
It could be $70,000 in about 30 seconds.
Yeah.
$70,000 sounds pretty damn good.
Shaun, man, I'm being straight up with you, man.
You broke all of our trust, and you got to earn it.
So then if it flips, it's automatically assumed that it's me? Yeah.
Yeah.
You would be the first suspect.
All right.
I'm being straight up.
Why wouldn't it be you? Shaun, I know that you're here and I believe in second chances And I want to trust you.
Athena, I know that earlier You stated that you would've took the offer.
I don't feel comfortable with you both going in.
Dave: Athena, how do you feel about this? I just did a second part.
I don't care.
I'd like to go in.
I don't think I'm afraid of snakes.
I don't know.
Look, the fact is, you know it's y'all three.
You're being quiet.
I'm sorry.
Stop being so quiet.
You say you have this strong personality, I need to see that.
Act like you want it.
Know what I'm saying? It's y'all three for me.
That's easy.
It's only not you for me 'cause what happened last time.
If everybody's already telling her they don't have trust in her, She hasn't done a goddamn thing, that doesn't make any sense.
All right.
I want to go.
I don't care what makes sense.
Nothing makes sense right now to me.
All right.
Put me in.
Except for the fact I'm not putting you in because of what happened.
What do you feel? I just know I want to go in And I'd to go in with you and I'd like to go in with you.
I can't take this.
We're a team.
- Can someone make a [bleep.]
decision? - Darnell: I think we just did! Shaun: Dave's going in.
Lydia's going in.
- Patty's going in.
- And so we Done deal.
We're good.
All right, I know you guys made some big decisions.
Who are the three who are moving on? Right here.
Okay, the three who are moving on are right there.
Well, that's not gonna happen.
Someone took an offer for money.
Talked to Dave, Lydia, Patty [bleep.]
You're going back home.
Patty: I'm pissed.
I'm just so freaking mad.
Darnell, Shaun, Athena, you're going on.
Lydia: It had to be Shaun.
How do you like somebody who lies to you in your face? They're looking at me like, "you son of a bitch," Because they know that I took the money.
But you know what? It wasn't me.
$70,000 sounds pretty damn good There it is.
Except not this time.
[ laughs .]
not this time.
Not doing it.
Not doing it? Unh-unh, not doing it.
You're not gonna do it? I appreciate it, but no.
Not for me.
All right, you guys are probably pissed, upset.
I understand.
You have a lot to talk about, so get going.
You gonna take it.
Dave: As I walked away, I looked back and I looked at Athena, And she had this little smirk on her face.
It's the same kind of look When someone bluffs in a big poker hand And wins the pot.
And I'm like, "holy shit.
That's what she did, man.
" UmI'll take it.
All right.
You tell me why.
Tell me why.
No one's getting hurt.
Right.
We're all completely capable Of whatever's in that bunker and Just see how it goes, I guess.
Athena: Yeah, I took the money.
And I don't feel bad about it.
Did you get an offer? I took it.
You took it.
That's why we're standing here.
I'll take it.
I'll take it.
I took the money for me and for my family And to stop caring what everyone else thinks about me Because I don't care What people in this house think about me anymore.
All right.
Well, here's what I got.
Deep inside this bunker, there's a very special case.
I need you guys to get the case and bring it to me.
You have 21 minutes left to complete the challenge.
All right, you guys are gonna need these.
Here's your torches and ipad with a map on it.
Cool.
It's "boots to asses" time.
Absolutely.
Up that way.
Word.
Word.
So, we got the bag and we made our way back to the bunker.
Darnell: I'll go first.
[ snake hissing .]
Relax, relax.
Yeah, just don't piss him off.
Watch yourself, cat daddy.
Shaun: I got you, I got you.
Okay, this way.
I got it.
Holy [bleep.]
[ hissing .]
okay, okay.
Darnell: Walking in, there's a whole bunch of snakes coming in here snakes hanging off of things.
Oh, whoa, whoa.
There's snakes everywhere, dawg.
I mean, it's nuts.
If you're scared of snakes, it's not a good place to be.
Athena: Okay.
[ laughs .]
Darnell: Hell, no! There's this enormous vat of snakes.
Snakes are a fear of mine.
You've got to be kidding me.
[ laughs .]
Darnell: Hell, no! Oh, there's a whole bunch of friends here.
That one's ready to eat right there.
There's this enormous vat of snakes all shapes, all sizes, all colors.
They're coming over, they're hanging over.
And snakes are a fear of mine.
Athena: In front of these snakes, There's measuring tape laid out.
"length of the albino snake" We have to measure these mother[bleep.]
We have to measure them.
You got to be kidding me.
[ hissing .]
I think we should get the big ones out of the way first.
All right, let's do this.
Athena: I have to touch these snakes.
I've never touched a snake in my life.
All right, take that.
I'll lead you on this end, and let's try to get him down.
You get in the middle.
Don't worry about it.
Don't worry about it.
Just don't squeeze too hard.
Let's just stretch him out.
Darnell was the beast master in this thing.
He was just taking control.
Talk to me.
We're good, right? I don't know I'm whispering like he speaks english, but I think it's helping.
He was in there whispering to the snakes, Trying to keep them calm.
Okay, my guy, I'm gonna need you Okay, okay, okay.
Lord, have mercy.
That's gonna be nine.
Nine.
Now, the pink one.
All right.
Darnell: Got this crazy-looking red snake.
I just hope he's not mad or hungry.
- Don't hurt him.
Don't hurt him.
- Shaun: We are stretched.
Oh, you are nice.
That looks like what do you got, 44? 43.
Yep, that's it.
And that's right on.
If I lose this challenge, that's it.
I took the money.
I flipped it.
They are so close.
They are so close.
So close.
This one, I think, is tinier, though.
I'm gonna look like a huge [bleep.]
If I do not win this challenge.
Okay, 43 for the pink.
Albino one is 104.
98 albino two.
Smallest we have what? Shaun: Smallest we have 27.
We got 245 right there.
245.
Minus our 27 218.
I'm going.
Is our 218.
Shaun: Let's go with that.
Boom.
Ahh! Okay.
Okay.
[bleep.]
Marty: Whoever's gonna be in that hero challenge Is probably gonna be beat to crap.
Charles: Yeah, but also, are they gonna have all the advantage, Or did someone screw them today? Yeah, did someone screw them over? Honestly, in this point of the game, I cannot trust Athena And I can't trust Shaun in the competition.
And like I said, we're open targets, man.
Who knows what they're gonna say that we did? Exactly.
Look, look, look.
What the frig? Everyone's mad.
Everyone's pissed.
Patty: Any of you guys take some money? What? Any of you guys take money? Rachel: Swear to god no.
Dude, what happened? We got [bleep.]
again.
No way.
You swear to god? Yeah.
We come home, and I'm pissed.
Rock offers me $35,000, so I say no.
Said it's not gonna hurt the team, just gonna flip it.
If you take a temptation, that the easy way out.
That's the weak way.
That's not a hero way.
So, to make a long story short, Of course, the Rock comes in, and it flipped.
Now, you know who's just sitting there Saying not a god[bleep.]
thing? Tell it.
Athena.
Marty: I guarantee you that snake took the money Because she said right before we left, to him, That she would take money and screw the team.
I definitely think there's more than one liar in the house, And I think their name is Shaun That's a given.
And I think their name is Athena.
There's weasels in this house, and if they can be bought I want to earn it.
They're weak people.
They're weak.
You still have to make sure it's her.
That's all I say.
You have to have facts.
Who could it have been? Darnell never even got an offer.
I mean, someone accepted the offer.
Although Darnell right away did say, "I'll be out.
" Shaun: We might want to measure one more of the small ones.
But that one might be the smallest.
And there's another one back in that corner Ahhh! Whoa, whoa, whoa.
I don't know.
It's not even I'm afraid of them.
I just It's that jump.
We're running out of time.
We got to find the right snake.
I don't know what we're gonna do.
I don't know.
That one looks small, too.
No, that was the same one.
No, no, no, my guy's right here.
I thought he was over there.
I thought it was that one.
It's just looking right at you.
Damn.
God damn.
I'm not gonna let us fail.
We are going to win this challenge no matter what.
But if we don't, The only snakes that are gonna be getting measured Is gonna be Athena and possibly myself.
Come here, baby.
We got 22.
What did we have at first? 27.
- That's minus five, you want to do it minus five? - Athena: Yes.
Yes! Yes! Yes! Yes! Whoo! That's what I'm talkin' 'bout! Okay, 1701.
1-7-0-1.
Oh, my goodness! Boom.
Got you.
Yeah! Oh, yeah! Oh, sh okay.
Darnell: It didn't happen the way that everybody In the house wanted it to happen.
Athena took the temptation.
We're successful, though.
I got the box.
Let me get that.
Let me get that.
I'm going back to the condo.
Everything's good.
We kind of know that there's gonna be tension, But at this point, everything is cool.
Let's go back here and tell everybody what we did.
[ laughs .]
- You got it! - Athena: Whoo! Word.
Word! [ laughs .]
Congratulations.
Thank you.
Congratulations.
You completed the team challenge, You won an additional $10,000 for charity, And you made the Hero's challenge Just a little bit easier.
How's everything going back at the penthouse? Everybody playing nice? World war iii, I think, is waiting for us Back at the place.
Well, he's probably safe, but the two of us Well, whatever's gonna happen, Listen, don't turn that into "jersey shore," okay? I'll come up there and kick everybody's ass, all right? [ laughs .]
all right, let's see what's in this.
[ laughter .]
Darnell: All that for some beer! A beer with the Rock Doesn't get much better than that.
Well done, today.
Congratulations.
Tonight, I want you to go home, get some rest, Because one of you tomorrow Is gonna compete in the solo hero's challenge, And whoever that is, I'm gonna push you.
Until then, to heroes! To heroes.
To heroes.
Salud.
We are jacked up that we were successful.
Beer with the Rock check.
There's no greater feeling in the world Than the Rock congratulating you for winning a challenge With a beer that is sick.
This is the coolest day of my life.
We don't know who took it.
You still have to ask.
It was her, definitely.
But you have to ask.
Yeah, she was probably thinking, "ha.
I got money Ai got to kick you guys out of the challenge.
" That's probably what she's thinking.
Mm-hmm.
Dave: So, what happened? Charles: Finally, the door opens.
It is tense.
You can just feel it.
Nobody's talking.
Eyeballs are just tracking them across the room.
What's going on, everybody? We won.
I'm sure I'm walking into a lion's den.
Charles: Lot of snakes? There were snakes all over the walls That's what I heard.
Seemed like a lot of snakes in the pit.
A lot of snakes.
A lot of snakes.
All right, this situation here tonight Is a little [singsong voice.]
awkward.
So, we end up coming through.
We climb up a ladder.
More snakes than ever.
More snakes than you could ever imagine.
So, we end up coming through.
We climb up a ladder.
More snakes than ever.
More snakes than you could ever imagine.
- They hangin over - Did you bring any back? Big, huge snakes.
Shaun's talking all about the challenge.
No one cares about the challenge.
Tell us later.
We want to know what happened with the money.
Dave: I just want it out in front of everybody.
Shaun, did you take the $35,000 bribe? Absolutely not.
Darnell, did you take it? Hell, no.
Thank you.
Athena.
Athena, did you take Yeah, I took it.
You took it.
She did.
Patty: My kids thank you very much.
That was my moment today To have just a moment to feel [bleep.]
good.
That's fine.
Patty: Athena knows that I wanted to show myself That I was gonna do something really brave.
I don't blame her.
I don't blame her for one [bleep.]
second.
Of course you don't, 'cause you're just like her.
You did the same thing.
No, I'm gonna tell you why I don't blame her.
What I did was much more wrong than what she did.
She knew she wasn't gonna get picked Because from the start, before you knew anything, Everybody had already counted her out And said, "I don't trust you in this challenge.
" Because you can't! You can't! I never once said that.
Two out of three said it.
No, listen.
No, you listen.
Listen! Let me finish! Shut the [bleep.]
up.
Two out of three said it.
No, listen to me! Shut up.
I said to her Okay, shorty, calm down.
It's fine, napoleon, just calm down.
Okay, why don't you yell a little bit? 'cause you're just over-talking me.
Let me talk! Okay, I'm over-talking.
I never accused her of not doing it.
You're both weasels in my book.
Whatever.
Dave: I don't know how Shaun and Athena Can leave this house feeling good.
I mean, they're ostracized right now.
They're such weasels.
They're such liars.
You got your $35,000 great.
I hope you're happy and, you know, have a nice life.
What had she done before we left today And everybody was like, "oh, well, watch out for Athena"? Weak people make excuses.
People with integrity don't do those things.
Before she left today, nobody had any reason to suspect anything.
You are weak.
Pathetic and weak.
Marty: She deliberately said she'd take money and screw the team.
She told charles that herself.
I said, "charles, I would take money and screw the team"? Yes, you did.
Yeah, that's the conversation.
Were you in there, Marty? Were you in there? Charles told me.
Charles just told people a lot of [bleep.]
You're a snake.
Shut up! You're a [bleep.]
snake! Don't try to get loud against charles Because you were the one Yo, bitch, shut your [bleep.]
mouth.
How about that? No, earlier, you How about you shut your [bleep.]
I'm not gonna shut my mother[bleep.]
mouth.
Stop.
Stop.
Stop.
Because you're weak.
And she knew she was gonna do this if she had an opportunity.
No doubt in my mind I was gonna take the money When he started this [bleep.]
it was premeditated.
You'll never on a hero's challenge, so good job.
I wasn't anyway, honey.
Good job, honey! You're a [bleep.]
snake.
Be the big guy and walk away with everyone.
You're a snake! Goodbye.
Be the big guy.
I have my reasons for doing what I have to do And I don't have to explain them to anybody in this house.
She knew if she got an offer, she'd take it.
Do you see how she is? She's a piece of shit.
I knew it.
Athena: I'm here for my brother.
My brother, since he was 4 years old now 26 Has gone through a ton of medical issues.
We grew up fatherless, on welfare, And he had a brain-stem tumor as a little boy.
He was 4, and I was 3.
We're only 13 months apart, extremely close.
And so he grew up left side paralyzed, hearing gone, Ridiculed by everyone, So I had to kick some ass for him my whole life.
And if I can win this for him, Pay off my brother's medical bills, It would just make life easier.
Athena: I hope one of us goes to the Hero's challenge.
Good luck.
Yeah.
From a political standpoint, if they were smart, They would put you or I in there.
If I know this house, They will not send Shaun into the Hero's challenge, And I'm sure not going into the Hero's challenge.
Two weeks in a row, You're gonna send a very likeable guy.
And everybody at home is gonna see that.
And at this point, He looks better than just about anybody in this place.
He hasn't really gotten into anything crazy with anybody, Pretty much drama-free, Mature, he's got kids, a sympathetic figure, And now everybody's gonna put him in two weeks in a row.
[ sighs .]
I'm willing to go into the Hero's challenge.
I'm thinking about my kids, thinking about my wife.
I'm thinking about all the folks that saw me fail last time.
It's time to get down.
But even though no one has a problem with me, People definitely have to feel like, "dude had his moment.
" So, I don't really feel like I'll get voted into it again.
I still want it.
I definitely still want it.
I just don't feel like I'm gonna get it.
All right, heroes.
You can have a seat.
You guys know the drill.
You know how this works.
We started off with nine.
Now we're down to three Darnell, Shaun, and Athena.
The time has come.
Who are you gonna vote in? Who do you want to compete in the Hero's challenge? Just keep in mind, as always, If they win, they have the option To keep the $50,000 for themselves Or turn it in to the bigger pot, Which, as of now, it's at $300,000.
By the end of the night, it could be $350,000.
This week's test was about reversal of fortune.
What happens when the expected becomes the unexpected? How do you deal with it? How do you operate not only in the field, But how do you operate back home, home base? All right, that said, Patty You and your family could've really used the money.
Yeah, we really could've.
I know.
You didn't take it.
Nope.
When you found out somebody else did, How'd it make you feel? I was bummed out.
I kind of knew you it was you, Athena, Because you weren't fighting to get it in like you did in colón.
And I'm just hurt.
It wasn't about the money.
It was about showing my family especially That I am overcoming some major fears, And I was willing to put myself out there.
I think that's what hurt me the most.
Athena, tell me about your life at home And why this money was so important to you.
I don't know if I can do that.
You can do it.
[ voice breaking .]
my brother has been bullied His entire life.
And I'm the one that stuck up for him his entire life.
And I walked into this house And I had six people breathing down my neck For taking money to make his life better.
And I had Lydia screaming, and I'm just trying to walk away, And I have everyone pointing fingers.
And my whole life, I wanted to swap with my brother And I wanted his life And I would've taken all the pain from him.
And I don't know how any of you feel heroic Belittling someone, Sitting on the couch and mocking someone I would never do that to any of you.
And I would take money in one second, And that would be more heroic Than anything that any of you did last night.
And you can have your own opinion, But my brother is the strongest man I've ever met, And I've learned everything from him.
And if I made him proud by taking money And if I can go home and make his life better, You sit here and you think about Exactly how you made me feel last night, And that is fine, but I am shaking because none of you were heroic last night.
Excuse me I did not say anything.
Rachel didn't say I did not say anything.
I didn't judge you for taking any money.
You had to comment, Patty.
You made me feel like [bleep.]
you lied to me.
And that was what I judged you on, Not the fact of the money.
Everybody is struggling.
Everybody has hard times.
That's why.
Don't convolute.
Don't turn into the victim.
I didn't bully any of you.
I didn't bully you.
I didn't put you down None of you.
You just lied to me.
You just you lied twice.
And again if you were a true woman, You would've said, "you know what?" I am a true woman.
Do not judge my character! You are no one to judge my character How I was raised and who I am! You put your [bleep.]
away and your mouth away And then maybe we can talk! Don't let yourself I'm not.
Have some class.
She has a lot of class.
Oh, does she? 'cause I didn't see [bleep.]
in weeks.
Guys, guys.
You victimize yourself.
You yell at other people.
Here's the thing.
Bottom line is this There's just a lot of emotions, a lot of different opinions, But sometimes, Being a hero means you got to find empathy.
Try to.
We've all been there.
We've all been judged well before its time.
Part of being a hero giving empathy a shot And understanding why somebody did something.
You got to ask yourselves a question Do you feel heroic? Do you feel heroic? Johnson: Final three It's your opportunity to say something to the group.
Darnell? Straight shooter, man.
You know? If I go, if I win, this one's for my family, man.
Whether that changes your vote or not.
I shoot straight.
I am what I say I am.
I think that's one of the only reasons I haven't got in the middle of any of this I've shot straight.
So, just know that.
- Mm-hmm.
- That's all I got.
What you got, Shaun? [ chuckles .]
I'm not ignorant.
I know nobody's gonna vote for me.
Nobody's gonna vote for Athena.
Darnell's getting two weeks in a row, And that's perfectly fine.
But at the end of the day, If the rest of you could admit to not being The saints that you think you are, You know, you might be a little bit more real people.
Johnson: Athena? I didn't take money from you guys.
That $35,00 was never in the pot, going into the pot.
$50,000 that's our money, in my head.
That will go into the pot.
And my word may be [bleep.]
right now, but I swear to you, That $50,000 is everybody's, and that would go into the pot.
That's all I'm saying.
$35,000 out there to change a life? Yes.
Was it any of yours? No.
That's what I'm gonna leave you with.
Stop worrying about everyone else.
Focus on you because you're here for you.
Johnson: Okay.
Well, with that, cast your vote.
All right.
Big moment of truth.
This week's hero is Do it for the mcadams, man.
They deserve it.
Those girls deserve it.
Lydia: That's right.
All right.
The choice has been made.
You're gonna go again, "d.
" Meet me at the centennial bridge.
Whoo! All right, man.
You can do it.
You can do this.
For the girls.
Athena, last night, I was very tired.
I didn't feel good.
And that's not normally me.
And I really feel like crap.
So, anyway, I apologize for coming off wrong last night.
I'm personally not a good communicator.
And then, once thrown into the situation, It's like I speak and it just comes out.
I don't hate you, Athena.
Shaun, I always went to bat for you.
[ voice breaking .]
it's just frustrating 'cause I believe that everybody's a good person.
I really do.
Everybody's a good person.
And I just wish everybody would make the right decisions.
And I truly felt bad after we had that conflict Because I said I didn't want to bully you.
And I don't know what you got going on, But I did honestly feel bad.
[ sobbing .]
I felt bad that we made you feel that way.
Athena: Dave and Lydia said, "I'm sorry, I'm sorry, I'm sorry.
" I'm over it.
I fought whatever fight I could up until this point, and you can only be put down so many times before you just you can't give any more.
You can't ask for anything else because you're not going to get it.
I like the fact that we're all opinionated and have our minds And can say that should be the way it should be.
Just we kind of got real mean to each other.
And, boy, it took a toll on us, man.
I don't know.
We'll figure it out.
A new day.
Darnell: Heading into this hero challenge, Obviously, I'm nervous.
I failed the first one, But, you know, everybody deserves a second chance.
I'm just ready to take on the challenge, And whatever he tells me to do I'm gonna have to do.
"d," you got another shot.
And that shot is 450 feet to the top of this bridge.
Whoa! You go up on the inside, And you come down on the outside.
As you're coming down, You're gonna see clues to a riddle.
Not only am I having to climb up this joint, I got to get clues while I'm going down it? You had 10 minutes, But because you completed the team challenge, You now have 20 minutes to bring me that solution.
This is your shot at redemption.
You bring it.
Come on.
Get it.
So, I'm climbing up the inside of the tower.
It's 450 feet, 45 stories.
I mean, it's a hell of a climb, man.
Only thing in my mind on the way up this thing is succeeding.
Nothing else is gonna be acceptable.
[ bird cawing .]
[ horn honks .]
Yes, indeed! Whoo! When I got to the top, it was nuts.
I'm not afraid of heights, but, you know, I've never rappelled from that high.
This is scary as hell.
Let's do this before I get too scared.
All right, Darnell, it's Rock.
I'm right here with you, man.
I hear you.
You're looking great.
Let's just think about getting that first clue.
At this point, I am panicking.
I'm pep-talking myself in my head, "you have to do this.
You have to do this.
"forget about the fact that you're 450 feet off the ground.
"focus on getting down and getting each clue And putting that together.
" Whatever you do, don't look down.
Ohh! Johnson: Looking great.
When you see that first clue, I want you to read it and then shout it out to me.
Darnell: While rappelling down, it kind of made me understand how I was gonna have to swing myself out there.
I need to push myself out this far to get to this clue.
So, all I was focusing on was not passing the clue Because I knew if I passed it, it was over with.
That's it.
First clue "where can you find.
" You're doing great.
[ breathing heavily .]
There you go, that's your second clue.
And now this is starting to really become a game.
At this point, I don't really know where it's going.
Here we go.
Stay focused.
Stay focused.
"where can you find Cities without people and forests without trees.
" I'm telling myself, "look, riddles are always easy.
"they're always the obvious thing.
"riddles are meant to make you overthink them.
It's something simple.
" You're doing great, just think about Getting down to that next clue.
All right.
Here we go.
[ grunts .]
Oh, this is so dope.
[ grunts .]
Just think, "d.
" riddles are always harder You just always overthink a riddle.
People always overthink riddles.
[ grunts .]
Oh! Darnell, you got them all.
You got all the clues.
Think about it and come to me.
Okay.
I just got off a hero's challenge And epic fail didn't get it done, Not to mention I busted myself in the head with a wrench.
Whatever happened in that last hero's challenge was over with, So far as I'm concerned, and I'm thinking to myself, "I have to get this done.
" Last week, you looked like black aquaman.
Now you look like black spider-man.
Here I come.
Nice and easy.
It ain't how you start.
It's how you finish.
Your boots are on the ground.
[ breathing heavily .]
Great.
Great, great, great, great.
First half first half is done.
Now, I'm gonna read these off to you, okay? Okay.
Here we go.
It's a map.
Darnell mcadams, you just won $50,000! Yeah! Yeah! $50,000! Yeah! Yeah! Yeah! That's what I'm talking about, baby! That's what I'm talking about! Ooh-wee! $50,000.
And here's the thing the $50,00 is in that bag.
You have the option to keep it for yourself Or turn it in to the big grand pot.
Hey, look, man Before you decide, someone wants to talk to you.
No way.
No way.
Hello? Daddy! Oh, my god! Hey, baby! Oh! What up, baby?! [ voice breaking .]
what up? Ah! Ah! It's just you have no idea.
It's so good to hear your voice.
Darnell: As soon as I heard my wife's voice, I lost it.
I started crying like a little broad.
It was better than the 50 grand.
Hi, baby! Hey, toots! Hey, boo, what's up? Y'all being good? Daddy, I wrote you a message.
You wrote me a message? What does it say, baby? What does it say? It says, "I love you, daddy.
When I grow up, I want to be like you.
" That's so sweet.
I love you, too.
[ sniffles .]
Daddy misses you so much.
- We miss you, too.
- We miss you, too.
Baby, I just rappelled down 450 feet off of a bridge.
What?! I had to solve a riddle, and if I solved the riddle, I have a chance to win $50,000.
Whoo! Either I can take it for us or I can put it in the big pot and hope to win it at the end.
Let me tell you something.
Baby, I'm taking that money.
I'm taking that money, baby.
[ laughs .]
That's gonna put us in a way better spot than we in.
I'm so proud of you.
All right.
Bye.
Darnell: Hearing their voices Put everything in perspective for me.
Darnell, $50,000.
[ laughs .]
Yeah! Now all of a sudden, Nothing at the house, nothing on this challenge They don't mean anything anymore.
Daddy's coming home with 50 grand, Which is gonna be fantastic.
You know, out of debt.
It's gonna be fantastic! Thank you, man.
Back to the penthouse, bro.
Indeed.
Indeed.
Good job! [ grunts .]
I feel like I did this the right way.
I didn't screw nobody over.
I didn't flip-flop anything.
And some people are gonna look out there like, "look, he brought home money for his family.
He did it the right way.
" Some people are gonna be like, "well, heroes don't take money.
" I can't control that.
All I can is worry about the things I can control.
[ humming .]
Ah, that was amazing.
