02x06 - Endless Winter Night

[bunniefuu]

- Previously on "Escape the Night,"

unscripted, unrehearsed.

- We are gonna trade the gem for the recipe.

- The guests try to outsmart the gingerbread woman;

Tyler and Liza face off in a room full of sweets,

and turn the tables... - [yelling]

- Well, we got this! [all cheer]

- But sadly learn they cannot cheat the sorceress.

- One of you must die. That is the rule of the game.

- [roars] - [yells indistinctly]

- We have to play by the rules.

- I can't believe she's gone.

- She wouldn't be gone if Joey didn't turn on her.

- But it wasn't my fault that Liza's gone.

If anything, it's Tyler's fault. - It's absolutely your fault.

- How is it Tyler's fault? - If anything--

If anything... - Because he's here, she's not.

- It's the critter's fault. Whatever that was,

we were both supposed to live.

- Guys, we can't blame each other.

They're forcing us to do this.

Blame is being passed around everywhere.

What scares me the most is that we're not working as a team.

- Okay, so how many more gems do we have to get?

both: Four. - And we have this.

We got this last time, right? - Let me see.

[enchanting music]

"To recover the next gem, outsider,

you must save our world from the ice witch's evil wrath."

- Oh, gosh. - "I have placed a compass

in the hearth"? How do you say that?

Hearth? - In the Hearth.

- "That can lead you to our realm."

- Hearth means fireplace?

- Is that... - Is that a hearth?

- Oh, oh, oh, oh. - Oh, wow.

- There's something in here. - Oh...

- What is this?

- Oh, wow, strong man.

- I just push in the bricks,

and I find the magical compass behind the fireplace.

I have never seen anything like this before.

- Is that all the note said?

- "It will lead you to our realm."

- Alex, is there anything else in there?

- Was this in--was this-- both: What is this?

- Oh, another note! - This is a letter.

- What's it say?

- "The compass will lead you to the portal between worlds,

"but its source of magic has faded in your realm.

My spell book has an incantation that will restore its magic."

- The spell book's definitely in there.

There's a lot of books in here.

♪ ♪

Spell book... Wait, I think this is it.

"The spell to restore magic requires two components:

"a vile of maiden's blood and ash's remains of a hero.

"One is hidden in the dining room,

"and the other is in the sick room on the second floor.

Recover these, and you'll be ready to cast the spell."

- Guys, let's split up. You three and us three.

- You guys do the dining room, we'll go upstairs.

- Okay, yeah. - Perfect, let's go.

- Okay, let's do it. - Okay.

- At this point, I am unfazed

that of course, that's what we need.

Blood and ashes.

Why wouldn't we need that for a spell?

- Whoa. - Oh...

- Come on, come on.

- Okay, let's see. - A vile of blood or ashes.

Look for, like, an urn. That would be full of dust.

Oh, check that right there, Tyler.

That looks like an urn. - This room is creepy as hell.

- Is there dust?

- Okay, so ashes or blood. Wait, wait, wait.

- Is this just the blood? - Is this blood?

- I think that's-- is that it?

- But wait, it could be-- wait, you guys...

- Okay, there's a lot of blood here.

Why is there this hospital in this house?

What is going on? I don't think it's normal

for people to keep blood in their house,

but I also don't think it's normal

to be abducted by a sorceress.

- Hello?

Nothing. - Ah, I thought that was it.

- Guys, "Captain Wesley Adams, w*r hero and father.

May his ash and remains be incased in clay."

- Maybe over yonder?

[suspenseful music]

Found it.

Ashes. There's ash in here.

Don't inhale it. - Okay.

- So we got it. Let's go tell the others.

- Let's go get the girls... and Joey.

- There's a chart over here, guys.

- Oh, these all are labeled.

- Let's see. "Female"...

- So it definitely has to be a female,

because she's the maiden. - Right.

Patient number is 116, 117, 125.

Do they say that on there? - Yes, there's numbers.

Okay, what were they? Read them again.

- 116...

117...

125.

Do you have those? - Nope.

- I can't believe we found it this quick,

and they're having problems.

- I think at voting, we should remember

how long it's taking our friends to find something.

- You guys wanna make a-- an alliance?

Our alliance is we just promise not to vote for each other.

- I am so down for an alliance.

- And don't you feel like right now they're making an alliance?

- Yeah, especially The Mystic, Andrea.

I don't know if I trust her.

- She hasn't done one challenge.

- Not one. - Neither has Joey.

- Neither has Joey. - Yeah.

Oh, my God. Guys, we just made an alliance.

[dramatic music]

- Was 135 one?

- Yes. - Okay, I have 135.

- Okay, guys, I think it's Daria.

It's patient 135. She's female; she's 18.

- That's her. - Okay, let's go.

- Finally, we find it,

so we take that bottle and run back to the green room.

- Guys, we got the blood. - We got the ashes.

Do you have the incantation? - I have the spell.

"Make a circle with the ash, and place the object inside"...

- Oh, my gosh, that's disgusting!

- This reminds me of some wild nights in the saloon.

- "And then speak the words of the spell

as the maiden's blood is dripped around the ash and circle."

- Oh, I don't love that. - Do you wanna try it together?

Like, all at the same time. Okay, you hold onto this book.

Ready, set, go.

all: "Pella Embella Templa Ella Ey.

"Pella Embella Templa Ella Ey.

Pella Embella Templa Ella Ey."

[drones] - Ah! Okay!

- This is the compass.

- My light will lead you into forgotten realms.

It will glow brightest when you move

in the proper direction.

- Oh, it's like--like-- both: Hot and cold.

- So it'll go brightest when we go the right way.

- Okay, it's fading. Go this way.

- Go this way?

- Try this door. - It's still faded.

Let's go towards the hallway. Oh, it's getting brighter.

There we go, there we go. It's the hallway.

- Andrea takes the compass, and she's leading the way.

I think that she's really good

at pretending like she's doing stuff.

Like, she'll be like, "Oh, I'll hold the compass."

But what does that do? You're not sacrificing yourself.

Somebody had to hold the compass.

- Okay. - It's getting brighter.

- Do you think we should go this way?

- Outside. - Outside? Outside?

- Wait, what's this leading us to?

- Another realm. - Here, try out here.

- [shushes] [thunder clapping]

- Do you see that? - I think--yeah, yeah, yeah.

Should we go down there? - What is going on?

- Let's stick together. - Oh, it's--it's thundering.

- Do we go towards her? - Yeah.

- If it's--if it's bright still. - Now it's getting bright.

- It says to go this way, but it's getting bright--

- [shushes] What was that?

[droning]

[indistinct chatter]

- Hello? - Hello?

- The heroes of our prophecy have arrived.

- This woman that the compass lead us to

sees us and says, "The heroes of the prophecy have arrived."

- Okay, hero, maybe.

The rest of these guys? [scoffs]

- Our world has been cursed,

and we need your help. - Okay, how do we help?

- The once lowly ice witch has obtained a gem,

giving her great power.

- That's the gem we need. - Yeah.

both: We need that gem.

- To defeat her,

you will need to find the unquenchable fire,

which lies on The Path of Betrayal.

To get to the path,

you will need to find the talisman.

Two evil harpies got the talisman.

- That's what k*lled... - Liza.

- And they will tear you to pieces,

unless you have a great warrior by your side.

- I'm looking at our team, and it's not any of us.

- Torhil to the Undying was such a warrior.

[enchanting music]

[whooshes, cracks]

The last spell in my book

has the power to reverse the witch's curse and free him.

- Oh, the last-- she said the last spell.

- The last spell. - Oh, "To dispel a curse,

"you will need tears from a fairy

"and the moss king scepter.

Both lie here, hidden in the woods."

All right, so we need to search for the fairy.

- Let's split up. - Here, let's just look around.

♪ ♪

- A scepter and a fairy.

- A staff and a vile of tears.

- Fairy tears would be pretty small,

- So we need to first find the fairy, and then get her tears.

Wait, what's this? Is this something?

- [gasps] Is that the scepter? - Guys, I found something...

- We found the scepter. - It's like a flute.

Oh, okay, I found it. It says,

"Play the proper note to summon a fairy.

"If you seek her tears,

you must get her to laugh until she cries."

- Okay, those-- you cover these...

- Okay. - Cover these with your fingers.

- Here, hold this. Hold the book.

so I'm like, "Okay, I got this."

- Why? What are you going to use them for? Evil spells?

- No, good spells. - We wanna break a curse.

but first, you must make me laugh.

It was close. - Okay, who's got more?

- Hello, I do standup.

They say don't sweat the small stuff.

That's why I got rid of my ex-boyfriend.

- No. - Hey...

- That was probably... - [laughs]

- Honestly, that was, like, the worst joke I've ever heard.

- Gabbie seems to think she's got all the right moves

to make this fairy laugh,

but she might not be as funny as she thinks she is.

- Thank you so much. - Thank you for the tears.

- You all run along now. - Too-da-loo.

- Let's find the scepter. - Guys, we only--

we have less than two hours. We've gotta find the scepter.

- Nobody likes my small d*ck joke? Seriously? Come on.

- She hated it. - I liked it.

- We finally get the tears, bottled up in a jar,

and next thing we need to find is the scepter.

Wait, is--guys, is this the scepter?

- Is it? - No, it's his axe.

Okay. - Oh...

- I'm gonna go back over here, just in case.

- Man, where could this be? Make sure to look up.

- If I were a scepter,

honestly, I feel like I would be up here.

- He said it was a moss king that had the scepter.

- Found it!

I found it in the moss. - Awesome.

- Now we have everything we need.

What do we do? What does the incantation say?

- So Alex finds the scepter; We have the tears.

We have both items we need to free the warrior.

- "Spell to reverse the ice curse:

"place the scepter at the base of the subject,

"and sprinkle the fairy tears on their eyes.

"Then move 20 paces from the subject

before reading the words of the spell."

I am in your debt. - We need your help.

Do you have any idea the price we paid to obtain it?

- Can we trade you? Can we do something?

- [screeches]

Here are the terms, and we will accept no others.

Four of you will be placed

on the edge of the fountain as witnesses;

two of you will face us

in a game of stones.

If one of you loses,

all four outsiders will be slain.

If both of you can win,

the talisman is yours.

Decide who plays! - Wait, wait, wait, guys,

did they just say if you guys lose,

all four of the people on the edges die?

- This game of stones essentially looks like

a game of checkers.

- I'm, like, pretty good at checkers.

We're gonna put our faith in a lot, baby girl--

- I'm not here for pretty good. - No way, baby--

- Really? You're gonna play

the strategy game to save our lives?

get out there and play.

Our lives literally depend on this game of stones.

Gosh.
