The Mole (2022) s01e03 Episode Script

Knowledge Is Power

1
It says S-A-L. Vanadium.
Salva Salvation! I got it.
- Go, go, go!
- Salvation.
Go, go, go!
Attention, players.
If both groups decide to push the button,
the team that pushes it first
- Come on.
- will be the one to avoid elimination.
Salvation! Salvation!
But $10,000
will not be added to the pot.
Go!
- They get it first?
- We don't know.
We just don't know.
They were gonna do the exact same thing.
It's gonna come down
to how fast they did it.
- And how fast they figured it out.
- Yeah.
The Mole has to be in Sector 45.
They never cared about winning the money.
At this point, I'm just sick of it.
I'm telling you right now.
If you think you can trust
that other team for anything
- Hell no.
- you're out of your mind.
The money's gone. The trust is gone.
And if we lost, one of us is gone too.
There was
just a division between the group
for the first time.
Those people were not going
to be friends with us that night.
Good evening, everyone.
I can feel the tension in the room.
I can tell you that no money
was won this evening.
That is because
the big red button was pushed.
And it was pushed by
both teams.
The team that pressed the red button first
will be excused from the quiz.
Therefore, no one on that team
will be eliminated tonight.
The team that pressed the button first
and let me tell you,
it was incredibly close
was in Sector
forty-five.
Oh my God! Oh my God!
I knew it was close.
None of you will be eliminated
tonight. Congratulations.
- Oh my God.
- Oh my God. Yes!
As for the rest of you,
you will all answer 20 simple questions
about who you think is the Mole.
The person who knows
the least about the Mole
will be going home tonight.
I'm thinking to myself,
do I know enough about the Mole?
Have I been asking the right questions?
Am I ready to take this quiz?
I am a nervous wreck.
And with such a small group,
the odds of you being eliminated
have increased dramatically.
I didn't expect to have
a one-in-six chance until weeks from now.
I'm just hoping, at the minimum,
I'm not the worst quiz taker.
There's no way out.
Are you ready?
Let the quiz begin.
Right now,
I have a whole team of suspects.
Sector 45, any one of them
could be the Mole.
So I'm playing the majority
and spreading my answers between them.
As far as
sabotaging the mission,
there's absolutely great reason
to be suspicious of Samara.
What is right here next to my door?
I can't tell.
It looks like a big hair tie.
- Is there a key attached to it?
- No.
The person you least suspect
is the person you should suspect the most.
She's in my top three.
I'm terrified
about taking this quiz.
These questions were
literally blowing my mind.
I think Joi could be the Mole,
but I'm also kind of answering
questions on Pranav and Greg.
The last couple of missions,
they've all been a part of teams
that cost the group money.
I am feeling nervous.
Very, very nervous.
There were a couple questions
that stumped me.
Could possibly be going home tonight.
We'll see.
Without a doubt,
the Mole's playing a good game so far.
As much as I still am working
on trusting Joi,
Greg is an amazing liar.
Let's talk to Jacob.
We're gonna do whatever it takes
to get the money.
He was there as a distraction.
Those are my top two.
Greg and Joi.
So I have one-in-six chance
of going home right now.
I was unbelievably nervous.
I just feel nothing
but, like, pure adrenaline.
They must've all done
really bad on their quizzes.
Oh, you could cut the tension
with a rusty butter knife.
Our other players are sitting
over there nice and safe.
Just watching us like
they're waiting for an execution.
Okay. Let's get down to business.
Your results have been tallied.
When I send them through,
a message will appear on your phones.
If it's green, you are safe,
and you are still in the game.
If it's red, you have been eliminated
and your time in the game is over.
I will enter your names
in no particular order.
First up
is Joi.
My mind,
my wheels are always turning.
Did I ask the Mole enough questions
to help me pass?
We'll see. If it's me,
it's me.
Thank you, Jesus.
Oh my gosh.
I am so relieved.
Next is Will.
I truly feel like right now,
it's not who knows the Mole,
it's who gets less answers right.
It's that old-school saying,
"I'm not trying to outrun the bear.
Just gotta outrun you."
You guys still breathing?
Barely.
Next
Samara.
I feel really tense.
Like, my chest is heavy.
So, I didn't wanna, like,
look people in the eye.
Absolutely at a loss for words.
The Mole's phone wouldn't go red.
I'm not ready for it.
Oh, hell. It's really me. It's really me.
I can't believe that.
You okay?
It is what it is.
It sucks that I'm going out this early.
I definitely did not want this.
But I think I made my mark on the game.
At least I can say that.
- They will be sad to see you go.
- Oh, Will's devastated.
Yeah, I could
You could feel the emotion
when your screen went red.
The whole game changes
without Samara here now,
because she's legitimately been
a third of my votes in the quiz.
Anybody could be the Mole at this point.
Eliminations are always scary.
But at the end of the day,
another person goes home,
the closer I am to winning the money.
- Good luck to you.
- Thank you, Alex. Thank you.
I was feeling good.
The Great Barrier Reef.
One of the seven wonders
of the natural world.
But for our players,
this is no dream vacation.
Oh my God.
Now this is what I'm talking about.
Whoa! Look at this view, y'all.
Because they're about
to face their next mission.
Don't worry, guys. I got us.
Everybody in?
Like, no sign of civilization.
It's like Texas, isn't it?
Kind of. Yeah.
I think everybody has their opinion
on how close they are to finding the Mole.
With every elimination,
I think you find out if you're
closer or if you're pretty far away.
I prefer to drive.
If someone else is driving, I get carsick.
I can second that for sure.
I'm hoping a lot of people
let their guard down a bit more
and let you in on a little bit more
of what they're thinking.
It's a lot easier to relax
in a relaxing destination.
- Man, Great Barrier Reef.
- Yeah, it's absolutely amazing.
I swear if there's a half-and-half
exemption, I will cry.
That was horrible.
I know.
I think I'm pretty close
to finding out the Mole.
Will is adding to the pot,
and it's the perfect disguise.
The Mole wouldn't add to the pot.
So Will looks like the hero, the savior.
I'm not 100% that it's him,
so I'm gonna be watching like a hawk.
And I think that I'm on the right track.
- Go right.
- I'm going!
You hit it completely.
Oh, we got a resort!
What is this?
Island paradise.
Oh, wow.
This is insane.
Look at the open view.
- What I'm talking about. We lit.
- This is crazy.
Let's go swimming!
Yes!
That's a seven!
- We're the judging panel. That's seven.
- Seven.
I'm certified in scuba dive.
I got certified in Honduras.
Mine was a three-day course.
- Was yours?
- A five-day course.
But I've never scuba dove since.
It's like going to a different planet.
And you just have to
zen out for it to work.
The way to win this game
is by knowing more about the players.
So in scuba diving, it's actually like,
a huge math equation.
You have to let all of the equipment
that you have just melt away.
I'm observing things.
I'm getting to know people.
I'm memorizing it.
But is it the right person?
Is it the Mole?
How you feeling today?
I don't know. I feel like
if after the next two eliminations,
if I still see Casey around,
she'll go higher up on my list a bit.
Avori's someone
that I trust for now.
We have a good system
of exchanging information
not trying to influence each other.
I believe that everyone's
definitely had an opportunity
to see the Mole in action.
Yeah, I agree with that.
I also like to have suspicion on me.
Oh, I know.
Always.
I haven't done anything
to throw suspicion on myself,
and I feel like that's a mistake
that I've made in the game.
I definitely want people
to think I'm the Mole.
At the end of the day,
it comes down to the elimination quiz.
The more they're focused on me,
they'll be the next to go home
based off the fact that
they have no information
that could be useful to them.
If they are the Mole,
they'll stay and everyone will know.
The Mole would be right
to draw suspicion on themselves.
Blend in.
In this game, the players
are all desperate for information.
And now we're about to find out
just how far they'll go to get it.
Hey, what's going on here?
"Dear Jacob, in this game,
knowledge is power."
"Next to you is a pile of dossiers
containing facts about fellow players."
"You can take a look if you wish."
"However, if every player
can resist that temptation,
the group as a whole will be rewarded
with $10,000 for the pot."
So it's $10,000
if we don't look at any of these.
But I could easily get
information on everybody.
It's tough to think what
the Mole would do in this instance.
Because, yes, it'd be super easy
to yank $10,000 away from everyone.
But then it'd be so blatantly obvious
to look at those people as the Mole that
it could potentially harm
the Mole for future endeavors.
"Think carefully about the choice,
for our integrity will be rewarded."
"You'll find out just before the next quiz
if the group has won $10,000 or not."
So
everybody gets this opportunity.
I'm not looking.
The problem is
the other players suck
and they are definitely gonna look.
So, therefore,
I was for sure 50-50 on this.
- "Dear Casey."
- "Dear Pranav."
- "Dear Joi."
- "In this game"
"Knowledge is power."
Okay.
"Think carefully about this choice,
for although this knowledge is power,
integrity will be rewarded."
This is the most important line
to me in the entire note.
And it is super hard.
I wanna look at these dossiers.
I wanna make it to the end.
But I also know that our team
needs to start working together.
And it's $10,000.
"Integrity will be rewarded."
I'm not gonna look.
I think someone's gonna crack.
Someone's gonna cost the group $10,000.
I'm very tempted.
The paper clips are placed differently
on each one of them.
And I feel like they have
already been looked at, so
I figured I wanted to throw
a little bit of suspicion on myself.
But $10,000 isn't a minor sabotage.
It's a really big sabotage.
I'm probably gonna have to suffer
some repercussions if I open these files.
Even if the Mole doesn't open,
you know, the files,
then someone else will.
I don't think I'm gonna look
at any of them.
And that's my decision.
Wait.
I'm going back and forth in my mind.
My intuition in this game is strong.
But intuition without information
is just a hunch.
I mean
Part of me just expects
that somebody is gonna look it up
and not care about the money.
Five. Oh my God, oh my God, oh my God.
I've been playing this game
with integrity from day one.
I ain't changing anytime soon.
I want my mom
to look at the game I played
and be proud of the man that she raised.
That something to me
is the most important thing.
Do this the old-fashioned way.
"You'll find out just before the next quiz
if the group has won the $10,000 or not."
This is what the doctor ordered.
Oh my gosh.
Wow.
My gut is telling me that some players
are gonna look in the dossier.
It's a very, very easy thing to do.
- Good morning, y'all.
- Morning, Will.
How'd you sleep?
Crazy sounds in the middle of night.
All the different birds and bugs.
So what do you guys think
we're doing today?
There's no telling, honestly.
I mean, I hope we find out
how everyone decided yesterday.
But it's not gonna come into play
until the elimination quiz anyway, so
We can enjoy this
until something happens, though.
It's absolutely beautiful.
Good morning, guys.
- Alex!
- Hi!
Good morning.
- How you doing?
- Good.
- Alex, Alex, Alex.
- Come on out.
I'm gonna head out here.
Hello, my castaways.
Hey, girl!
- Good morning!
- Hi!
Welcome to paradise, right?
I mean, this place is amazing, isn't it?
Beautiful.
I know you are dying to hear who,
if anyone, looked at those dossiers.
But that little mystery will have to wait
because, first, it is time for
your next mission.
Look at this shockingly
beautiful coastline, players.
That is why the Great Barrier Reef
is one of nature's crown jewels.
So what better place for a treasure hunt?
Feel like pirates?
Aye, aye, Captain.
Five treasure chests
containing $2,000 currently rest
at the bottom of the seafloor.
That is $10,000 for the prize pot.
What I like to hear.
That's a lot of loot.
Money in the pot.
Now, divide yourself into two teams.
Boat team.
You will be solely responsible
for locating and retrieving
the treasure on the seafloor.
But to do this, you will need
special buoyancy equipment.
That will be provided by the plane team,
who have to race against the clock,
find the equipment, and deliver it,
so that the boat team can complete
the mission and bank the cash.
You guys are gonna be the ones
to choose your teams,
so choose them wisely.
Okay?
- Okay.
- Ready to get your pirate on?
- Let's do it!
- Yes!
All right, players. Good luck.
Okay.
It seems pretty simple.
I'm a pretty strong swimmer.
I'd wanna take Jacob with me for sure.
I mean, I lived on ships for two years.
So go water, Greg. Easy.
So right off the bat,
I put myself in the leadership role
and play the game how I want,
putting people I don't trust
in the situations I choose to put 'em in.
It allows me, you know,
a little bit more insight if they slip up.
Who's gonna give the best directions
from above, though?
That's gotta be
the most important too, so
- Joi
- I want to do water.
I wanna be on Will's team today.
He has been my number one suspect
ever since the jungle mission.
I'm not letting him out of my sight.
Don't you want to go on a plane?
I'm a strong swimmer.
Kesi's gotta go air,
so let's start splitting it here.
Anybody who isn't a strong swimmer?
Isn't Pranav really good at directions?
So, Pranav goes up. Easy. There we go.
With so much distance
between a plane and a boat,
I have no choice
but to trust the air team.
And as much as I don't trust him,
I don't think Pranav is the Mole.
So we're going here. Air.
Water.
$10,000.
Yes. Good.
The water team, you have myself,
Jacob, Greg, Casey, and Joi.
Team air, you have Pranav,
Avori, Dom, Kesi, and Sandy.
Let's go. Let's get it.
Call me Dom Cruise out here.
This is what I live for.
Viking style.
- Holy
- Oh my God.
It's like we're skipping
on the water. We're up!
Hey, we up. Take off, baby!
Hey, guys. Look, check it.
- That's so sick.
- That is awesome.
Come on! Yeah!
Your time starts now.
Hey, what's right below us?
Sandy, you see that?
That's their boat.
I thought it was like a boat, boat.
Plane team, the equipment
you're looking for has been stored
in a small dinghy washed up somewhere
along this 100-mile stretch of coastline.
Look for anything that stands out.
Once you find it, move quickly
to get it to the boat team,
because retrieving the treasure
will be impossible without it.
This whole mission is dependent
upon this freakin' dinghy.
Yeah, yeah.
- Got to be washed up on shore.
- Yeah, has to be on shore.
That was the clue.
There's a sandy area up there.
I see the sand, but
Wanna go circle up around there?
I mean, it's an island
and there's sand on the side, so
Let's do it.
Can we loop around this island
and then go back on course?
- Yeah.
- Thank you.
We have quite a large search area
of coastline to cover.
We decide to narrow things down
by searching out and checking beaches.
Avori and Kesi, as we pull around,
there's a good sandbank on that island.
- Yeah, I'm gonna look.
- Good call.
To be honest, my mindset is,
let's just slow things down a bit.
I'm getting dizzy.
I wanna look a little bit suspicious,
but I don't wanna sabotage the mission.
- You got your eyes peeled, right?
- Yeah.
Y'all see anything?
No.
It looks clear to me.
- Never mind.
- Straight ahead.
It never feels good to do something
that you feel people
will be upset at you for.
We can't afford to miss it.
Every detour we do is, like,
five minutes or so.
But this is not a team game.
And I'm here to win.
Boat team, you will be taken
to the cove where the treasure has sunk.
There's a sea turtle!
But locating the chest
on a murky seafloor is no easy task.
Let's drop the anchor
and get the treasure!
Work fast
and work smart to find the booty
before the plane team arrives
with the buoyancy equipment.
Okay, so here's the thing.
We're gonna need two people
going under to check,
one person to stay up in case
you have to hand the crates to somebody.
So, me, Joi, Jacob check first.
Worst-case scenario,
nobody finds anything, swap out.
To find a treasure chest,
we've got a large area to search.
So we're gonna start diving
and work our way along the shore
before moving back towards the boat.
- I'll go towards the rock.
- Yeah, for sure.
You'll be closer to the shore,
but put your mask under the water.
You can search as you go.
We're right by a reef.
I'm watching you. Tell me where.
Try to do the coast area
in between the rocks!
All right, I'm gonna
just keep diving and looking.
We got to move the search this way!
William is a bit reckless.
Will, do you see anything?
Nothing.
Do you have a system?
I'm gonna watch him closely
to make sure he sticks to the plan
and doesn't do anything
to jeopardize this mission.
I'm just frustrated.
As usual.
He could possibly be the Mole.
We shall see.
- Is it like a chest?
- Did you see it?
No, I'm asking 'cause I can only see
when I get to the bottom.
You know what a dinghy looks like?
A small boat.
It's gonna be hard to see.
Look how high up we are.
That's where we came from. Right there.
- We already passed this island.
- Are you sure?
Yeah.
All right. Take a closer look.
Maybe we're missing something.
If we could fly a little lower,
that'd be good.
- Better to be safe than sorry.
- Better to be safe.
I don't think
we're missing anything here.
- Are you sure about that?
- Yes, I'm positive.
It's not here.
What's that? What's that?
What's that little thing?
- That little yellow thing.
- That could be it.
- What is that?
- Yeah. There's something there.
- Can we land?
- Can we circle around?
All right, we want to land
on this island behind us.
Or on the water
Yeah, no problem. I can turn around.
I can get you on the western side
of that beach there.
If that's not it,
I don't know what a dinghy is.
Seeing the little boat,
I'm sort of relieved.
I know that that's probably
what we're looking for.
- You're sick?
- Yeah.
I definitely kept a record
of the fact that.
Kesi and Avori didn't
actually spot it before me
though they were looking
to that direction.
It's something that
I'll remember moving forward.
Let's go!
Oh my God.
In the strategy that I've created
for myself, I'm very confident.
You guys think the Mole's on the boat?
- Yes.
- Yeah.
It's just whether or not I'm using
that strategy on the right person.
Let's move.
Let's go, baby!
Come on. Let's go, Avori! Let's go, Sandy!
Make a move! Make a move!
We found a path here!
It goes through the bushes.
Oh my gosh.
I literally hear critters in the grass.
I see it! I see it!
Hey, Dom Cruise, baby!
Okay, okay.
We found it. These are here for a reason.
You see how this buoy is?
We might have to blow that up using this.
And inflate it and then get it to them,
or something like that.
The equipment
is an underwater retrieval system.
The bag is submerged
and fastened to the sunken cargo,
then it's filled with air
to float it to the surface.
But before this equipment
can even be used,
the plane team has a brutal hike back
across the peninsula to the boat team,
which is still searching
for the first treasure chest.
Grab it!
I'll get a head start
'cause I'm slower.
Yo, don't leave anything.
Grab everything.
We're gonna move you
parallel to the shore.
Let's do a sweep this way.
Let's put the three of you in a line.
I mean, it really could be from here
pretty much to where you are.
That is so much space
on the bottom.
Yeah, I mean I still think
it's worth sweeping.
- Can you see anything down there?
- Nothing.
You got it, guys!
You're almost there!
Hey.
Casey! We are good on that area!
We're not going past you.
So this is the new area right here.
Over here! Push, push!
You got it, you got it!
- You okay?
- Yeah, I'm good.
I'm just getting a little It's nothing.
- They said keep looking this way.
- Okay.
Focus on what you're doing!
I'm doing the same thing you're doing.
Trying to find a crate!
Go underwater and look for it!
I'm just trying to be here
to be the eyes of everything
and to make sure that
we're allocating resources correctly.
How much time has it been? About an hour?
- Something for Will to look at.
- Hold on.
- What does he have?
- I got something for Will to look at.
Wait!
Watch the rocks.
Ow, fuck!
Yeah, careful.
Oh my God.
Medic. Where's the medic?
Medic coming over.
I was totally shocked.
Hey, can we just?
Can we just dab this off?
Oh my gosh.
He got hurt diving
for the treasure chest.
Will is trying hard.
I can't let you
back in the water like that.
I don't think he's sabotaging
this mission at all.
Maybe Will isn't the Mole
and I may have been wrong.
Let's go, Sandy!
Hey, yo!
Hey, guys! Hey, Greg!
They're on the beach. Hey!
What do you have?
Come closer!
There's Dom.
What does Dom have?
Okay, okay!
Come on! Avori, let's go!
I've done things purposefully
to make people not trust me.
This is horrid.
That's so heavy.
No one is trustworthy in this game.
That's the fun of it.
We gotta get the gear!
We gotta get the life vest!
Hey, are you listening?
Wait, where's the oxygen tank?
Did she ditch it? She ditched it?
Why would she leave it?
Take this. Be right here. I'll run back.
- Who had the last oxygen tank?
- I did.
- You dropped it back there?
- Yeah.
Why are all these things
dropped along the beach
when the plan was to take it from the boat
and bring it to them
and see if they need it?
That's a lot of time wasted, you know?
We're playing the game of the Mole.
You're looking for somebody
that's trying to take money from the pot,
that's trying to sabotage.
Oh my God, bro.
Avori was never on my radar from day one,
but this last mission, you know,
my eyes opened a bit to some
subtle Mole activity that Avori did.
This is nonsense.
Here, Jacob.
We got to get this stuff to the boat.
- Did you get a crate?
- No.
How Why?
I got a tank and a vest.
What else you got?
Did you get one of these?
You send it down and you use
the oxygen to lift it up.
Is Will out of the water?
Will's out. Will's gotta be out.
He's done.
What's the tank for?
Oh, Jesus.
Is the tank for inflating something,
or is it for propulsion?
Inflating a big bag that we got.
I think they're figuring out
the buoy system.
You dive down, you hook it,
then you put the air in and it floats up.
Come on.
- So they don't even have one crate?
- Nope.
What is going on?
It's frustrating when one team does
their part and the other team doesn't.
You gotta put the spotlight on the team
that doesn't do what they need to do.
Casey, I think
there's something over here.
- There!
- You see it?
We have one!
We found it!
- They're all here. There's four.
- Literally!
Literally this whole time.
Shut up, Greg.
Give us our stuff.
- There's ten minutes left.
- I'll go down and put it on.
Put the crate in the
Under the yellow buoy
and float it to the top.
Stop talking to them!
They can't waste their air
on talking to you.
That didn't work. I'm exhausted.
It's on. It's on one of them.
- Good job, guys!
- Nice job.
- Great progress. The balloon's up.
- There you go. Balloon's up.
Now we just keep filling it with air.
- Yes!
- Oh my God!
- Let's go, guys! Whoo!
- Get it on the boat! Come on, guys!
Casey, you did that, girl! You did that!
Once we got one, we knew what to do.
Put me in there again, Coach.
I can do it better this time.
Now you know exactly what you gotta do.
It's like clockwork now.
We have, like, five minutes!
Can we get two?
Time is running out.
My team is fatigued.
Greg, is that really how you wear it?
I have to get into the water.
I have no choice.
I thought Greg was
a strong swimmer. What is he doing?
Don't even get me started.
I'm gonna rip him so hard.
Greg, help Casey.
- Okay, what's up?
- Hold this. I'll go down, okay?
- Hold this thing.
- Do not drop that.
I'm not gonna drop it.
- They're over where you are.
- Let me try it.
- Here, hold this.
- Okay.
Where did the tank go?
Where's the tank?
The tank?
- Where'd you I gave you a tank.
- Where's the tank?
I handed it to you, Greg.
It's on the ground, then.
Not only did Greg do nothing
most of this challenge,
when he tried to help, he managed to drop
very important equipment
to the bottom of the ocean.
I definitely think there's some
Mole sabotage going on.
You dropped the tank?!
Will, can you do it better?
Yeah, I could, but they won't
let me in the water!
'Cause you're reckless.
Come on!
Greg is in my top three picks
of who could be the Mole,
and always seems to fly under the radar.
So you have to ask, why is that?
I mean, he's consistently
in groups that fail.
I see a lot of stalling and bickering.
I tried my hardest, and people wanted
to make me look like the bad guy.
Come on, Casey!
One more. Let's go!
You got it!
- You know what you gotta do.
- You got it, guys.
Almost there.
Time's up, Casey.
Time's up?
Yeah, time's up.
I think any time
a group loses some money,
you gotta write their names down,
you gotta put them on the radar.
I trust nobody.
I take everything into account.
I don't care how it looks like
you're trying, you can be doing nothing.
I've done that plenty of times
in science class.
Avori dropped the oxygen tank.
And, you know, that added
a little bit of suspicion for me
'cause that just didn't feel like Avori.
Knowing that I have
to go in to take the quiz
and feeling like a failure
Great effort today.
I'm very nervous.
This is really happening already?
It feels like we just had an elim.
They come so fast.
Let's do this.
The Mole absolutely had a successful day.
I feel like we worked so hard today.
And then to come home
and maybe actually go home sucks.
What the heck happened
in the water group?
Because from my angle, it was a crapshoot.
I can't believe we were just out there.
I know I have a whole new appreciation
for it out there now.
I have a whole new hatred for it.
I'm annoyed. I'm angry, frustrated.
We put a lot of effort in
to only get $2,000.
I think we deserve
to just drink like sailors tonight.
My biggest suspect right now is Greg.
I just I'll take the whole bottle
to the face after today.
Greg is a crazy player.
Every time we go into a mission,
I never know what Greg's gonna do.
It could be his gameplay
that he's throwing us off so much
and that he really is the Mole.
Alex.
Hi.
Hi, guys.
How are you?
I feel like this day may not have gone
exactly the way you had hoped it would.
There's only $2,000
that was added to the pot today.
Officially, the prize pot is at $28,500.
A good figure for you to keep in mind.
This evening, you will face
your next elimination.
Which means that one of you
will be going home tonight.
But that is not the only business
we have tonight.
I need not remind you
of yesterday's moral dilemma.
You were each offered the chance
to look at dossiers containing facts
about your fellow players.
If each and every player resisted
opening those dossiers,
then the group would win
$10,000 for the prize pot.
I think it's time
for little one-on-one conversations
with yours truly up there in my office.
See you there.
I hope Alex
shows us what went down.
- We definitely gonna find out.
- Who do you think opened it?
I didn't.
I did not. It spooked me for sure.
This is gonna be a long night.
We have an elimination
and we also need to find out
who looked at the dossiers.
I need an extra glass of champagne.
All right. I'll go first.
- Hi.
- Hello.
Come on in. Have a seat.
Yesterday at this very desk,
there were some
interesting dossiers on the table.
$10,000 was on offer if nobody
in your group looked at the dossiers.
I can tell you that the $10,000
for the pot is gone.
Not surprised.
I had a little hope, but not surprised.
However
if you didn't look at the dossiers,
then your integrity will be rewarded.
So I'm gonna ask you,
did you look at the dossiers?
No.
Good evening, Greg.
Please come have a seat.
Make yourself comfortable.
Were you tempted to look at them?
No. I've been playing this game
with integrity since day one.
And that's not changing.
Did you look?
No.
You did not look.
No.
Well, Joi,
we have it all on camera.
Did you look?
I did not look.
Does this stay between us?
I would tell me the truth.
We have the tapes.
I looked.
You looked.
Sorry, guys.
- Nothing's certain in this game.
- Mm-hmm.
I'm gonna do whatever it takes.
Whatever it takes.
Whatever it takes.
The only integrity you need
in this game is to be true to yourself.
People should get over it eventually.
For me,
it was an investment that was worth it.
You think it was worth it
to look at the dossier.
Yes.
Knowledge is definitely
power in this game.
The more information
you can collect, the better.
There was a note that said
your integrity will be rewarded.
I noticed that line.
- It stuck out to you.
- Yeah.
So, Avori,
I have to ask you.
Did you look at the dossiers?
Of course. Yeah, I did.
I increased my knowledge in the game.
That's something
that I'm not gonna tell anyone.
That's power.
If you did not look at the dossiers,
you must decide
which member of your team
most likely looked.
Okay.
You can place a bid on that person
using money from the pot.
If you are the highest bidder
and if you are correct,
in exchange for the money,
you cannot be eliminated tonight.
You would get an exemption.
And a lot of hatred
from my fellow players.
- Well
- A lot of hatred.
There are no easy decisions
in this game, Jacob.
No, there are not.
It's a tough bet because
if I bet money from the group pot,
then I could lose money for the group.
That'd hurt the group further.
Ooh. Yes!
That's a double fist pump.
- You are interested in this.
- I am so interested.
The game is tough, Alex.
I'm nervous. I don't know these people.
I need this exemption so bad because
I'm clearly not ready for this quiz.
My brain is like Jell-O.
I wanna be here.
I don't wanna go home tonight.
Then
one name,
one bid.
Remember, it's money from the pot,
which now stands at $28,500.
If you win this, you're going
to screw up the pot that we have.
I can win that back myself.
It's going to be bad.
Damn.
But you get an exemption.
Oh my God.
I'm literally, like, shaking.
I'm so nervous.
Yeah.
Hi, guys.
- Hey.
- How ya doing?
I so enjoyed our chats together.
I feel like I got a lot of insights.
Those of you
who did not look at the dossiers
have been offered the chance
to bid for an exemption.
I potentially
screwed myself doubly.
I've made our pot more vulnerable,
and I potentially handed exemption
to all my opponents on a silver platter.
Let me remind you,
your prize pot
currently stands at $28,500.
Well, guys, I can tell you
that the lowest bid was for $1,600.
The average bid was $7,000.
But, my friends,
the highest bid tonight was for
$25,000.
- What?!
- What?!
Yo.
Holy shit.
How do you guys feel about that?
Uh, oh my God.
25,000 do I mean
That's nearly everything we've earned.
Wow.
I can tell you that the bid of $25,000
was made by
