02x03 - Tangled Web

[bunniefuu]

- Previously on "Escape the Night"...

unscripted, unrehearsed,

the guests are trapped by an evil sorceress.

- Where's the carriage? - You're stuck here.

- And must recover eight gems to defeat her.

They k*ll the king of vampires

but must exchange a life for the one they took.

- [screaming]

- You did this! - I didn't k*ll her.

- [laughing]

- Hey, when can I see this gem?

[dramatic music]

Easy.

- We're just getting warmed up.

- We have another friend joining us.

- That's it? - Now what?

- Now you need--

[whooshing]

[all exclaiming]

[shouting]

- The sorceress comes out,

and we finally get to meet her face-to-face.

- I instantly recognize her from the photo.

- Did you really think you could escape my grasp?

You're just the pre-show

for tonight's true extravaganza

of blood and suffering.

None of you are leaving this place alive!

[shouts]

- [hisses]

- Oh, my God. - Oh, okay.

- The door to our right opens up.

- This spider thing... - With, like,

a bunch of eyes,

scariest monster we've seen yet.

- Oh, my God! - [hisses]

[all screaming]

- What the hell was that?

Alex is dragged away.

I am freaking out.

I don't want to be dragged away next.

I mean, this is probably

the most scared I've been throughout this journey.

- What was that? - That was definitely

a spider woman. - How are we getting out?

- We are trapped. - What is this box?

- Come here. Look at this.

- "Break the seal and pour."

- Break seal and pour what?

- Something that fits in here.

- It's probably a wine glass or some--

- Wait, try the corks. - The corks.

- Oh, smart. - Maybe?

- Yeah, let's try it. - Take 'em.

- Everyone's looking around.

They don't know where to look. They're lost.

They're always lost without me.

I knew that the goblet had special powers.

Yeah, this is the seal. - DeStorm had a goblet

in his hand, and it was the goblet

that he received from the vampire queen.

- So I opened up the bottom of the goblet.

What's in it? Oh, my God, what's in it?

What's in it? What's in it? - Oh, my God.

- Oh, my God. - It's a--look like a--

And I find a little bottle.

We broke the seal. - Oh, a sh*t.

- What does it say? - sh*t, sh*t, sh*t, sh*t.

- It says, "Jorogumo liked to liquor up her boy toys

"with four sh*ts before taking them to bed

for the final time." - Sounds like me.

- Basically, all we knew from that clue was,

we needed four more sh*ts

in order to unlock this box.

- I'm thinking, "Who's Jorogumo?

Is Jorogumo hot?"

- Jorogumo is this spider lady

that came and just swooped in out of nowhere.

- We're searching around the room

for these four tiny bottles,

and me being the tiny girl that I am,

I'm searching high and low,

and honey, I found the second bottle.

Explorer found the second bottle already.

- Stop finding things! - I'm an explorer.

I can't help it.

Okay, two more.

We need two more bottles.

- Wait, is that-- ooh, I found it!

I found it! - [gasps] My boy.

- We find four little tiny bottles,

and then Joey finds a tray of liquor.

"Drink up, but choose wisely,

or your first one will be your last."

- One of us is gonna have to drink four of these sh*ts.

- I bet you there might be a symbol

at the bottom of the sh*t box.

Does that make sense? - Drink up, but choose wisely,

or your first one will be your last.

- I'll do it. - Oh, okay.

- Are you sure you want to do it?

- I'll do it.

And I'm looking, and they're all

different colors, and we realize

that some of these vials

match some of the liquids

in these sh*ts.

- We match up each one, and I'm like,

"Okay, Joey, it's your time. Have a drink."

- That means she's gonna take you away, though,

'cause she likes to liquor up her boys with four sh*ts.

- Go, and I'll save Alex. - Wait, but--

- No, no, let's split it. - It's fine.

- We can all do it. I'll go with you.

- No, it has to be a boy, and I volunteer.

- It has to be a guy. Let him drink it.

Go on. Go for it.

- I just want to prove to everyone

that I'm actually in this,

and I'm here to help

and make sure we all get out of here alive.

- Ugh. - Oh!

- I feel okay.

- Luckily, thank God,

he drinks the right four.

And I see the symbols. I'm like,

I have seen these symbols before back at the box.

These must match.

- Boom, boom.

- We're lining up the sh*t glasses

with the liquids and the vials.

- And boom. All right, so pour

each of these into those.

- And see if anything happens, because usually

things happen when we figure out a riddle.

[lock clicks] - Oh!

- And the box, boom, it popped open.

We got some little jewel.

- Here, bring it over here. - Does it open up?

- That matches the symbol that's on the door

where Alex was taken. - Stuck it on the door.

The door popped open.

[all scream]

- Uh-uh. There's a guy on the table!

It's Alex! - Guys.

- Alex? - Is that Alex?

We walk inside the library,

and there's a massive tampon on the desk.

- It's Alex. Don't-- - He is in a spider web.

- Jorogumo sh*t web out of her booty hole

onto Alex, wrapped him up, put him on the desk.

She must have realized, like,

Lauren d*ed. Alex is single.

Let me just go sh**t some web on him.

Ya nasty. - Alex already got taken.

That sh*t was wild, but I was over the whole,

you know, like, helping people, 'cause this was supposed

to be a party, and I'm sick of this.

And so I just was like, DeStorm,

maybe we should slide out.

- I wasn't eager to save Alex,

'cause we already had a rivalry going on,

so I decided to hang back with Jesse.

[all screaming]

- Alex! - Oh, my God!

- Spiders are my ultimate biggest fear

in the whole world, but I don't want to show that,

because I don't want to be looked at as weak.

both: Are you okay?

- What's that? Wait, wait, wait, wait, wait.

So then we rip the spider webs off of him like the hero I am.

- He has a key attached to him. - It says "desk" on it.

- Give him room, give him room. - Are you okay?

- What happened? What happened?

- I don't know what happened. I just woke up in here.

- Oh, this is disgusting. - And I was in this spider web.

- Oh, my God. - Ugh!

- Did she do this to you? - I don't know.

I blacked out. I don't know what happened.

- You guys, where's Jesse and DeStorm?

- Wait. - [screaming]

- Oh, where are they? - No, no, no, no.

- Where's Jesse? Where's DeStorm?

- I have a feeling that they were taken.

- I'm indifferent. DeStorm is going down,

and it's gonna be because of me.

- The next thing you know, we get snatched up

by two hot minions.

- How's it going? - Uh, everything's good.

- Do you want some fun with us? - You look very nice.

- They take us upstairs. - And they wanted to go

drink a little bit, so me and DeStorm

went and did that.

- Cheers. - Cheers to you.

So what's your name?

- Kira. - Kira.

- What's yours? - I'm DeStorm.

- You're not a spider, are you?

- What do you think?

- I don't know, but whatever it is, I like it.

- [laughs] - We get down on our knees.

Mm-hmm.

- We open up the cabinet, and there's a letter.

[all exclaim]

- Read it.

- These spiders sure like riddles.

- "My brotherhood of thieves

"have been lured here by maidens I curse meeting.

"I don't know the fate of my men,

"but I hope their deaths were quick.

"They promised us a gem

whose value defied all others, but--"

What is that word? - Jorogumo.

- "Keeps it at the center of her precious web.

I have hidden our plan to steal the gem in a red book."

So the gem that we need is inside of her poisonous web.

- Yes. - But the plan to get it...

- Red book, guys. - Is in a red book,

and there's a lot of books in here,

so everybody just grab every red book.

- I'm, like, looking around the library.

It's so many red books.

This could take us all night.

These are all-- - One, two, three, four, five,

six, like, there are so many red books.

Where's Jesse? Where's DeStorm?

- What's going on? We playing poker?

What are we doing? - Yeah, how about

five card draw?

- Okay. - Yeah.

- And just to make it

a little bit more fun... - Mm-hmm.

- Losers lose a piece of clothing.

- That makes everything better.

- One winner per round.

Everyone else takes off something.

- I agreed. So did Jesse.

- Wait, guys, the symbols are on this book.

- There, there, grab it. - But it's not red.

- Oh, it's a box for the book. - Oh, my--

- Oh, it's in the box. - It's a--

it's a book inside a book.

- There. - Oh!

- Okay. - That's red.

Is there a key to open it?

- No, it just opens. - Oh, thank God.

- This is the plans.

What the heck? It's just like a--

- Oh, goodness. - A stencil?

- Okay, wait, wait, wait. - Arts and crafts?

- It's like something that you, like, hold up

to something to like-- - Oh, you put it over a book,

and it tells you the certain letters.

- Oh, right, like a-- it'll make a paragraph

into a sentence. - Wait, what about on a page?

Yeah. - Ooh, yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah.

- Put it in the very corner,

in the top corner. Is that it? No.

Flip it. Is it...

- I feel like it's not this clue.

I feel like it would go up to something else.

- My God.

- [exclaims] - Oh, my God.

- What the heck is this? - What--oh, my gosh.

- We go outside, and we see these body-size cocoons,

and they're completely drained of blood.

- Looking at the dead bodies hanging on the balcony,

I thought, if they took a little bit longer to get to me,

I could have been hanging from there.

Also, Jesse and DeStorm are missing.

I didn't even know if those were them.

- Hey. - What?

- I found a note. - What does it say?

- "These two are drained of their fluids,

"and I am once again hungry.

"I always laugh at how brittle and easily broken

a human is without their blood."

- Are these DeStorm and Jesse?

Like, it--honestly, it could be our friends.

We don't know.

- Here, let me deal 'em up.

I'm fast. - Do you got any tricks?

- I do.

- Anybody need some more to drink?

- She's trying to get us tipsy.

- She's trying to get us turnt.

- Oh, our friends like to, uh...

play hard.

- So who are your friends?

both: Alison.

- Where is Alison? - She used to play with us.

All right.

Okay, well, I don't have anything,

so I guess we're taking off another piece of clothing.

I'll go with my shoe.

- This is what I came for.

This is the life.

- [giggling]

- All right.

- [laughs]

- I've never played strip poker before.

I'm excited.

- [laughs]

- [laughing] sh*t.

- What do you think about that?

- I'm thinking everything about that.

[laughter]

I'm never going home.

- I bet you it's the same size as what this is.

- Yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah. - Like whatever--

so, guys, look for something this size.

And look for something... - Be careful, though.

- That's not obvious.

It might not even be a book.

It might be something.

- It could be literally right in front of you.

- Let's break 'em. Let's do it. - No, guys, I don't know.

- I'm gonna do it. I'm ripping it.

[all exclaiming]

- Oh, here we go. - Tyler, help me with this one.

- [screaming]

- There's something in there. - There's an actual dead--

- There is something in there.

- It has to be deep in here.

- There are intestines.

There is blood.

There's a weird smell.

I'm trying so hard not to throw up.

- Ugh. - Nothing.

- Did you find anything in yours?

- No, we're still looking. - We're ripping it.

[both exclaiming]

- Don't tell me this is Lauren.

- When we are ripping the webbing off of the bodies,

I'm hoping, okay, just be, like,

right on top of the body,

and I soon realize

I'ma have to stick my hand

in this gooey gunk and take something out.

- There it is! - It has to be in that one.

- Is it in there? - Yeah.

- You found something? - Something.

- Man, how'd they swallow-- - Just keep pulling.

- That's the same size as the square.

- "The samurai warrior drove his katana

"through the neck of the beast,

then made the world sink underneath it."

- Translate that. Put the card on top of it.

- Yeah, I don't know what that means.

- So we take the decoder we had,

which was the exact same size as the cipher,

placed it on top, and were able to reveal

the secret hidden message.

- What does it say? - "Set on the sun."

- The sun--there's a sun right here, right here.

- Oh, guys, the sun! - Guys, guys, where's Tyler?

Tyler? - Tyler, damn it!

- I'm in here. I'm just looking.

- Okay, go ahead. - Put it in here.

- Set it on the sun.

- Oh! There's a box open!

The box is open, go! - Something opened.

Go, go, go, go, go, go, go.

- Oh, my God. - Oh, my God.

We put the cipher on the sun,

and a chest opens up in the library.

- Take it out. Read it.

- "This light reveals invisible things."

all: "Search the walls."

- Hold it up against the wall. - Oh, my God, oh, my God.

- Hold on. Searching.

Searching, exploring. I'm exploring.

Those are doors, not walls.

- Wait, the chalkboard.

- Oh, good idea.

[all exclaiming]

- "Jorogumo..."

all: "Kills all."

- [screams] - Well, that's not great.

- Wait, there's symbols. There's symbols on the bottom.

- What? We have-- - We have to find the symbols.

- Okay.

[door creaking open]

Guys, guys, guys, guys, guys, guys.

Guys, guys. - What's in there?

- Oh, the symbols-- one of the symbols!

Here, we got a box.

- And this box has a lock on it,

and it's not an ordinary lock with numbers on it,

but rather has kanji symbols on it.

Now, we've found these four kanji symbols

on the black canvas using the light.

- Okay, is there anything else on the box?

- Wait! Oh, it opened! Oh!

- Okay, okay, okay.

- [laughs]

- Oh. - Cute.

both: Origami. - Oh, wait.

Stones.

Fake stones, though. - Here, unfold it.

Okay. - Yeah, those are fake.

- These aren't real stones. - Here we go.

"They're almost perfect fakes.

"I made two in case one of my men perished.

"Our plan was to swap them out with Jorogumo was unaware,

but we never made it that far into her web."

- So we need to swap those out with the real one

when we get there. - Where?

- So wait, do we have to go to her web?

- We got to Indiana Jones this thing.

- There's two fake gems that we have

that we're supposed to put in place of the real gem

so that Jorogumo girl doesn't know we took it.

- Okay, so we need to go find the web

and get our friends back. - Yeah, so let's go.

We have to go.

- We have a little reading session.

- Aw, come on. We ain't come to read.

I ain't going back to school-- hey, okay.

- And making things a little bit more exciting...

- What is happening? - And dirty.

- Oh, okay, yeah. Go on and do that thing, girl.

I like the kinky stuff. My ex-girlfriend,

she was just very lazy when it came to the kinky stuff.

- Oh, sh*t, I can't see nothing. - She ain't want to do nothing.

- I'm kind of nervous. - Oh, yeah, I like this.

- I just feel bad about this.
