gonna happen. - What is that?
- I have no idea. - At midnight is so soon.
- Oh, that's an axe and a g*n. - Oh! Good eyes.
- So somebody's gonna have to fight.
I know the Sorceress is trying

And it's working. So Lauren's gone
because of you. - There's so much tension
going on between Alex and DeStorm.
- She deserved to go. - [sighs]
- It's me or her. - I found this at the doorstep
the beginning of the night. - So typical Alison
has another clue to give us.
And I'm thinking, why, if you have all these things,
are you holding them back from us?
But she gives it to us and Joey opens it up.
And it seems to be some type of propaganda flyer.
- "To arms. Your country needs you.
Open the key to freedom--"
- "Helm the ship of fury." - "The Dark Army--"
- "Has taken our land. Obedience required."
- Let's read the red. - Yeah, read just the red.

Let's go. - It's this way.
- So we found this key and here we are again
on some other search to find something that unlocks
that basically just means someone else is gonna die.

coming out the damn hallway again.
[screaming] - This way.
- Oh, the green room. I'm running for my life.

"Its wearer must surrender their will to the voice

has no control.
That's terrifying.

- All right, who wants to do it? - Okay.
Y'all go do your thing.

Do you understand? - Yes, I understand.
Oh, my God. It's actually, like--
- So Joey puts on this Helm of Obedience.
But I have no idea what it's saying.
And it's very clear that Joey is terrified.
- Tell your friends to follow you.
- It says to follow--follow me. Walk back to the--
- We all follow you? - Yeah, follow me.
- So y'all gonna just follow him?
- We have to surrender to proceed.
- Okay. - Walk down the hallway.
- Is this the voice? - Can't believe we following
a damn helmet. - Okay.
- As much as I'm scared of the Sorceress,
I'm afraid of whatever's
about to come out of this crazy pot.

- Wait, we all stay here? - Yeah, stay here.

Something was wrong with him in his head.
But I'm assuming it was the helm.
- Everybody keep your eyes peeled.
- Walk forward. - Okay.
- We should all, like, face outwards.
- You will see a case on the floor.

- Joey, what's going on? - Guys.
- You can handle this.
- What is it? - [laughs]
- [panting] - Are you okay?
- Jesse's g*n. - When I see he has a g*n,
and he makes eye contact with us,
it does not look pretty for us.
It looks like he's gonna k*ll us.
Joey. - No, no, no, no.
- What are you doing with your g*n?
- What are you doing?
- And because I'm a hero,
I made sure to, you know,
protect everyone and put my arms out.
I'm like, hey, everybody, just calm down.
- Now point the g*n at your friends.
- Joey. all: Joey!
- No! - No, no!
- What the hell? - Joey, Joey, Joey.
- Oh, my God. Oh, my--like, is one of us gonna die like this?

- I stepped away from the group.
I don't want the g*n pointed at me; I'm not with them.
- You cannot hesitate with this next action,
or your life will be over.
Do you understand? - Just do it.
- I want you to open the door, step out onto the porch,
and sh**t the first man you see.
- So he pulls the g*n away from us, and I'm like whew.
I saved the day. Thank God.
- What are you doing? - Good, good, good, good.
Good move. - I knew it was all--
he wouldn't do that. - No, no, no, no.

- Oh, my God! - You k*lled him!
- I'm shocked. A little turned on.
Okay, a lot turned on.
- Guys, come on. - Take the bugle from his side.
- Damn helmet turned him into a m*rder*r.
- The longer we're in this house,
the more evil you can see in everyone's hearts.
- Go to the back of the foyer
and stand before the outside door.
- Don't sh**t. - I used to play.
First chair trumpet. Like, six years in a row.
I got you. - Guys, I have to go
in the backyard. - Put the g*n down.
- Okay. - Joey don't sh**t at me.
I was actually shocked that he didn't k*ll me.
- Take off the helmet. - Can you help me?
- Blow the bugle. - Getting my hands dirty.
- Good-bye, Joey.
- Bye. Uhh!
- I would keep that on. That looked like protection.
- Literally, the devil was speaking to me.
- I don't like it. - He said the next thing to do
is to blow this. - Okay. Everybody just be ready
for something to happen. - Ready?
- No. - He's blowing a damn bugle.
[blows bugle] [screaming, cannons f*ring]
- What's going on? - Those are cannons.
- Is it, like, that?
All of a sudden, we hear a cannon fire.
And out of nowhere, there are two armies
coming together and they do not look like they like each other.
- Oh, wait! - Shh, shh, shh.
- I don't care if you're the last people
on the g*dd*mn Earth, we ain't gonna stop fighting.
- This is our land! - Should we hide?
- Shh.
- Oh, girl. Look what you've done.
Look what you've done. - He's pointing a g*n!
He's pointing a g*n! - You did say hide
and we did not. - Joey seems to think
it's a good idea to go out on the patio
and talk with these guys. - You see a w*r going on,
y'all gonna just go out? - I'm thinking
it's only right if they have a gem.
- He has a gem.
- Oh, you want this. You're gonna have to fight.
- Could you just give it to us, maybe?
- You're gonna have to get dirty.
Now, see, the team that loses this here skirmish,
one of them's gonna have to die.
- Oh, gosh.
- I don't see no other way.
Whose side y'all fighting on?
- What do you mean, side?
- The Confederates are a weak lot.
You join me, and we will crush them beneath our heals.
- The Dark Army will soon be returning
to its forgotten myth it once crawled out of.
Stick with me and you'll live.
- Guys, that's the only way we're gonna get the gem.
I think we should do it. - We need the gem.
- Then pick two captains.
One for the Dark Army and one for the Confederate filth.
- And that is when I realize,
we are gonna be having to fight each other.
both: I'll be a captain. - This is like school.
I never got picked for this. - I never got picked, either.
- Guys-- - Let me go against him.
- I feel like it's important the fact that you guys
think I'm responsible for this.
- So I'm the captain of the Confederates.
Go figure. - I choose Liza.
- What? The Dark Army, you choose the brown girl. Okay.
- Gabby, you saved my life once.
Why don't you come on over here?
- DeStorm and I just get each other.
- I choose Tyler. - Good choice.
- Come on over here, Andrea.
- And then there were two.
- I'm hoping Joey chooses me.
- Tana. - Ah.
- Once I find out DeStorm is a captain,
I realize I'm not picking Alex.
I'm gonna put them on the same team to start some drama.
- Not only am I picked last,
but I'm picked by DeStorm's team.
By default.
- First, you need your colors.
- Oh, this goes. - I think Joey's team is weak,
slow, can't keep up with us.
- We don't wanna be up for elimination.
We have to make sure that it's them, okay?
- All right, so I'm the captain of this team
and what we gonna do is we gonna win.
We got the brains, we got the girls,
we got the weapons, and we got the soldiers.
- Honestly, I'm just hoping
that DeStorm's team self destructs.
- We're on the same team now
and if you need me, I'll step up.
But after this, we're back to enemies.
- When it's all over, he gonna get it.
- We go downstairs and the battle
is about to begin and we're just freaking out.
- Okay.
- Hi, guys.
This is so sad.
We're, like, against each other now.
- Gotta do what we gotta do.
- We've kind of lost hope.
Like, the game we thought we were playing
is not the game we're playing.
- This side is for the Dark Army.
And this side of the estate, for them Confederates.
The patio is no man's land
and a medical station.
The first team to find the location
of the flag is the victor.
You're allowed one person on each team
to stand behind their own territory to stand guard.
- This makes it so difficult
because essentially, we're never safe.
- When in enemy territory, your arm banner can be torn off.
And an enemy guest must escort you to the medical station.
- And you have to just sit there for five minutes,
looking at whatever is going on
and being unable to help.
- Marching orders. - What's this?
- Okay. - We have to get the big flag.
- "Confederate guys, your mission is to find
five golden pegs." - "Five red pegs
"hidden in Confederate territory,
and then insert them in your warlock's chest."
- "Where you will gain the final item needed to recover
for the enemy's flag." - Got it.
- Game on.
[g*nsh*t] [yelling]
- So when Cash sh**t this g*n,
we immediately are in, like, game mode.
[overlapping yelling]
- So immediately, we run into the action,
and I see this box.
I realize there's a peg inside this box.
So I literally just lift it up and throw it on the ground.
[overlapping shouting] Yeah, she is.
I found the first peg! I am so happy.
[grunting]
- Go out this way, go out this way.
- What? [grunting]
- Where the [...] are these things?
- I am a finesser, so I gotta go hustle these people
and be the distraction.
So you wanna get it? Let's go.
- I'm like--I just wanna book it; I wanna run into there;
I wanna find the pegs; I wanna get this over with.
- Oh, no! My shoe's untied.
My shoe's untied!
[laughter]
Wait, my other shoe's untied.
I'm having so much trouble walking up these stairs.
I decide I'm gonna distract the guard.
I'm gonna have them take me away
so that the other team members
can run in and get those pegs.
[grunting] - I am out of breath.
I cannot breathe. Honey, I think I have asthma.
- Oh, Tyler, keep looking.
Look under rocks and everything.
- Do we have any pegs? - No, we can't find any.
- I found one!
[grunting] I found it.
Oh, that was exhausting. I'm out of shape.
- I continue to search. Oh, I found it.
And I find my second peg in the tree.
[grunting]
Go. - They're probably--
- I was chasing Tyler 'cause he's slow but he's agile.
He's like--he moves quick.
both: Throw it! Throw the peg!
- Got away from me once. I couldn't get a grip
on his arm flag, so I couldn't get him.
- But as athletic as I think he comes across,
he could never catch me. - Look in trees and sh*t.
- Get it.
- Oh, I can't find these pegs!
- They were the color of sticks on the ground.
Like, I looked at a peg for five seconds.
I was like, is that a peg?
Guess what color the other team had?
Bright red!
[sighing]
[grunting]
- This game of capture the flag is pandemonium
because it's also kind of like a w*r.
[grunting]
The Dark Army and the Confederates are running around,
screaming... - [screaming]
- k*lling each other.
And I'm like, I just am here to find the pegs.
- But I don't have one. - No, I'm giving it to you.
- Oh. Okay. - Tana?
- Guys, I found the peg! - DeStorm!
- I found the peg. - Trees and boxes.
- Trees and boxes, my ass!
There's no trees and boxes.
- Oh, my God. My shoe's untied.
Oh, no! - I got you.
- Oh, no!
Go, Liza. - Oh, that's one!
- One left. - They only have one more!
- Our plan is working.
Like, we're doing good.
- [spitting] - [laughs] Hey!
- [grunts]
- How many people are caught? - Two.
- You have to come on this side.
- There were moments that I was ready to just give up.
My feet hurt. - You wanna go sit up there?
- [laughs] Joey, please.
Let me run just a little. - No!
- Let me run just a little. - I've been running
like little boys all day.
- I have a bruise here and here. No more.
- Gabby's putting up such a fight.
We're literally wrestling on the ground right now
- No! No! This is life or death.
[grunting]
- No, no, don't go boneless on me.
Don't you go boneless on me!
Okay. Here we go. Here we go!
- That is gorgeous. - Let go of the gate.
We're-- - Okay.
- Come on. - So I'm about to go back on
the opponent's side and I notice there's a peg
inside the light.
Guys, I found it! I found the last one!
- Yes, Joey! - Come on.
- They got it! They got it!
- Guys, I got it! - Wait, put it in.
We're gonna get a clue. Come on.
- Okay. - We have all five pegs!
- Oh, wait. - Go upstairs.
- Oh, it's not over? - Okay, what does it say?
- "The cannon on the patio has been authorized
"for your use, soldier. Pour in the powder
and let her rip to reveal the enemy flag."
- What? - Pour in the powder, come on.
Once we get all five pegs, we get gunpowder,
and we run up to the cannon.
- Wait, all of us, put your hands on the rope.
- Yeah, let's go. - Teamwork makes the dream work.
- One, two, three! - Fire!
- Whoo! - It's over.

Trees and boxes, my ass!
