Post by bunniefuu »

male announcer: Previously on "Escape the Night"...

The adventurers find The Serpent's Eyes

and unleash the Snake Woman.

Roi tries to prove himself,

and is thrown into the death challenge.

Nikita causes friction.

I really felt as though the Snake Queen herself

chose the two weakest.

male announcer: And is forced to fight for her life.

( Roi screaming )

She cleanses the second artifact.

Which any of you b*tches voted who for me,

I'm coming for you next.

male announcer: And the group uncovers the mysterious Lazarus Box.

Matpat: The thing is, we have to remember the pact

that we made at the beginning of this mission.

- No hard feelings. - We should just also

keep in mind that someone's lying to us.

- Mm-hmm. - And we need to stop

with the tea being spilled and the fights and the drama,

because sun's gonna come up any second,

and we have a lot more work to do,

so we need to figure out what's going on with this box.

Well, I'm noticing that the box actually has

the same symbols on it that were on your briefcase.

That symbol that's on top of the box is actually

the same symbol that helped us with the séance

to get to the 1970s to begin with.

And you said that those were...

It's the Society Against Evil symbol.

What do you know about that?

Essentially, the Society Against Evil fights all evil.

I've been with them before.

Once Matt starts to realize that there's a connection,

I realize I should probably explain a little bit more.

And so they're the ones who are out to help this town?

So they're with us?

They failed in their mission, and that's why we're here.

Two people have d*ed, and finally now you decide that

this is pertinent information for us to know, Joey?

I'm not buying it.

If they failed, how are we supposed to succeed?

They don't know what's happened to me in the past,

otherwise they would not be on this adventure with me.

I am a member of a secret organization known

as the Society Against Evil,

and we've been battling this wicked force for centuries.

- So that symbol-- - It's on the map.

- On the map, right? - Yep, it's right on the map.

Joey: Bring it over here, Teala.

As with the last time we cleansed an artifact,

there's now something new on the map.

- This looks like green smoke. - This looks like moss.

Honey, that looks like me at the really bad fast food.

Mmm. ( laughter )

Okay, what's new? Okay, so we got Shag's Motel.

Manny: Okay.

Sounds like a place I would visit.

"Man with No Name's Lair.

"The Man with No Name was hunted

"because the town thought he was a freak of nature.

He sure showed them."

( loud crash )

all: What?

Manny: When I hear crashes like this, I'm thinking,

no, I don't wanna go outside, like, please, I really don't wanna go outside.

Mortimer: I think we should check it out, right?

Yeah, I mean, I'm that girl, I'm like the one that's like,

why are we going towards the crash? I don't understand.

Nothing's here. I don't see anything.

( gasps ) Oh, my God, it's a body!

Teala: Who is that? I thought when he said

something fell off the roof, he meant a shoe,

or a stuffed animal, or maybe popcorn,

not a dead body!

Should we take him off the popcorn machine?

Oh, my, God, who is that?

- I don't know. - Wait, wait, wait.

- There's a book in here. - What does it say?

We're taking the book y'all. I'm just saying.

- Can we go inside? - Yeah, let's go inside.

Manny: Thank you so much. Mortimer: Yeah, good idea.

- Colleen: Bye, bitch. - I'm done with dead bodies.

"I'm getting close to finding the Statue of Era.

"His power is both terrifying and intoxicating.

Many have d*ed seeking to obtain it."

I'm thinking this has gotta be our next artifact.

"After gathering their obituaries,

"I discovered that their deaths have been

"secretly chronicled in 'Adventures of Allan Quatermain.'

"There's something about placing the volumes

"in their proper order that will reveal the statue.

The painting holds the key." Painting?

- Okay, so we need... - both: Books.

Oh, wait, it says six books. There's six books.

We need to find six books, guys.

- Nikita: In here? - This is his name.

By Allan Quatermain.

Colleen: Okay, so we have to look for books

written by that person, okay?

- Oh, oh, there's some... - Wait, wait.

As we're flipping through the book, we also see another page that's a painting,

and we realize that this painting has six people in it.

Oh, that's the painting, yeah.

It looks like we're gonna have to place the six books

in front of the picture in a certain order.

We need to find these books, one,

and we need to match up these books

to a m*rder that happened, two,

and we need to figure out where the hell do we place them.

Safiya: Think we've got four.

Joey: We have six? Okay, good.

There's a photo in here that looks--

it's a book holder.

So I think--oh, that's where we place them in order.

- Oh, yeah. - We still need to find these obituaries

'cause that's gonna tell us the order.

Guys, I just found, like, a secret pocket.

- Oh, my God. - Don't lose it.

Each of these obituaries has a pretty detailed description

of how all these people d*ed.

Sarah G. was eaten alive by flesh-eating beetles.

And we find out that the causes of their deaths

actually line up with the books of Allan Quatermain.

So we use the pictures in the obituaries to match them up

with their appropriate adventurer in this painting.

Okay, this guy was crucified by the Black Order Cult.

Safiya: That's "The Evil Cross."

Oh, I've got, "Danielle Impaled by a Trident."

- Yes, that's her. - Oh, this is this.

Safiya: With that information, we're able to line up

the books in the order they're supposed to go.

- So one... - Two.

all: Two.

- What's three? - "The stake b*rned alive."

- That one's three. - Four, and then here's five.

Okay, here, I'm gonna go put these in over here.

Five and six.

- Oh, my gosh. - One, two, three, four.

- Rosanna: Oh, my gosh, Joey. - Five and six.

We finally get the books in the correct order, and suddenly...

- ( squeaks ) - all: Oh, my God.

- What the...? - Oh.

A wall falls down, and there's a whole secret room right there.

( muffled demonic speech )

That looks demonic.

Matpat: We're not in Everlock anymore, Toto.

This crazy door opens out of nowhere,

and inside is this really scary statue.

It must be the Statue of Era.

There's some kind of box in here, you guys.

I feel like we shouldn't open it,

but I feel like that means we should.

Inside the box, there's a note and a bunch of straws.

The note says, "The Statue of Era infects all who touch it."

Oh no! Did we just touch it?

I think you touched the box.

There's no scary snakes, there's no scary clowns,

but there is just a cute little statue.

But if you touch it, you die.

Safiya: "To purify the crusted idol,

five ancient stones must be placed at its feet."

That's those holes, probs. Joey: Oh, okay.

"To find the stones, you must assemble

"two hunting parties by drawing straws from the box.

"The two with the short straws will be the party leaders.

"Starting with the youngest leader,

they will take turns picking their team.

We gotta say our age? Okay.

I'm the youngest.

"The group to recover the stones will be safe from the final challenge.

"However, The Man with No Name protects his gems,

"and his touch removes you from the hunt for five minutes.

Your only sanctuary is under a red light."

So the short straws end up being the team captains.

Short straw number one?

Ooh, that looks short. Manny.

Short straw number two? Teala.

You're the youngest, so you gotta pick first.

School yard pick, huh?

This is a lot of pressure. I pick Matt.

- Okay, all right. - I pick Nikita.

- Safiya. - I pick Joey.

- Good choice. - I know.

Ro.

All right, it's fine. No hard feelings.

- All good. - All good, best for last.

- So... - Where are we hunting?

Joey: We have to go outside,

and the only place safe is the red lights.

And we're looking for gemstones?

- Yes. - Gemstones, five.

- And we can't let him touch any of us. - Correct.

Let's get this hunting party started.

(foreboding music)

♪ ♪

We walk outside, and there's just this

terrifying green mist covering the entire town.

And we notice these hands that have severed fingers.

They're missing fingers.

"Each clue will lead their respective group to a severed finger."

Yay, I love finding severed body parts.

It's disgusting. Gross.

Ew, we have to find fingers? Why?

"After each finger is found,

"the group must return to their hand

and put it back to the bone to receive the next clue."

So we need to find these fingers,

put the hand back together,

and then hopefully find these stones.

"There's an additional puzzle by the pump station

"that holds one of the Lazarus coins

"needed to open the Lazarus Box.

"It does not need to be completed to win,

"but if a hunting party manages to open it,

"they'll not only get the coin, but be moved ahead

to the final clue even if they've not solved the others."

- So we're looking for fingers. - Yeah.

- We'll get a clue at a time. - Yes.

- Leading us to it. - Mm-hmm.

Basically, whoever doesn't get the stones first,

their names are up for elimination.

- I think we should get started. - Okay.

Team one-- team one's over here, guys.

- We're team two. - Team two.

Okay, hunting party two. Okay.

- Everybody grab your note. - Does everybody have their notes?

- Yes. - Yes.

Both teams, read your first clue.

Okay, "Stand between the sun and moon,

and view the tree that d*ed too soon."

So we need to look for a tree that d*ed too soon,

and look for a sun and moon.

- "Eight sides to feel the air, a romantic place to stop and stair."

There's stairs that are romantic,

eight sides, stairs, eight stairs...

- All right, what could that be? - It's the gazebo.

- Go! - Safiya: The gazebo's right there, yeah.

( demonic growling )

Oh, my God, oh, my God. ( screaming )

I'm in pure shock.

- ( growling ) - Guys, find a red light.

( panicked chatter ) Oh, my God!

Around the corner, comes The Man with No Name,

towering over us.

( hissing )

And he has really long arms.

Okay. Okay, ready, go, go, go.

( whispering ) No, wait, wait.

The pump station, I think, is that way.

- I swear. - Okay, come on.

- I'm with you guys. - Yes, yes, yes.

My team strategy is to split up.

Teala and I go to the gas station.

Matt and Safiya go to solve some clues.

- Under the stair. - Under the stair?

(dramatic music)

Wait. Nope.

My team strategy is actually to stick together,

so we figured, let's go ahead and do these puzzles together.

I can't see anything.

Joey: "Sun and moon, tree that d*ed too soon."

Oh, sun. A sun, a sun, a sun.

- Where's the moon? - ( growling )

All right, we need to find the moon.

There's a lock. There's a code.

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

- Oh, I don't like that! - It's upside down.

Mortimer: I don't know, but this thing is coming back.

Rosanna: I'm not sure the strategy is working.

I feel like Matt is a natural leader.

Teala and I decide to go meet up with them

and help out any way we can.

- Up this way. - Let's go this way.

Let's go, come on, come on!

( growling )

- Where's the moon? - Sun, moon.

( gasps ) This tree, this tree d*ed too soon.

I found it. We got the first finger.

- Yes, yes, yes. - Okay, let's go back.

He's coming back, he's coming back. oh sh*t, oh sh*t, oh sh*t.

- This way, this way. - Nice.

( growling )

- Red light, red light! - We gotta stick together.

Okay, the gazebo is, "Eight sides to stop and stair,"

but in "stairs," spelled like S-T-A-I-R?

- Like they're real stairs. - Like stairs.

Matpat: As soon as we get our first clue,

we immediately know that it's gonna be the gazebo.

The hardest part of this challenge

is actually finding the fingers.

- Okay. - Colleen: Okay.

- Where's the next clue? - I don't know.

Where's the next clue?

Colleen: Turn back, run back.

- No, no, no. - Ooh.

Excuse me, sir, hi, I'm over here.

Hi, sir.

Literally, the tall homeboy was right in between us.

And I'm thinking to myself,

what can I do in this situation?

Hello? Distract him.

Guys, I got the next clue!

- I got it. - ( bellows )

Nikita: Tall man, are you over 6'?

Come to daddy.

Good job, guys. Keep distracting him.

Come here, daddy.

( squeals ) Oh, my God!

Manny: ( laughs ) Nikita: Oh, my God, oh, my God.

"Fifteen doors on both sides, but in one, a secret resides."

Fifteen doors?

Phew, those uncut arms, honey.

♪ ♪

Rosanna: "Stop and stair.

Eight sides to feel the air, a romantic place to stop--"

Matpat: It's gotta be here. It's gotta be here.

Do I need to smash this?

Nope, that's not it.

♪ ♪

I found it. I found it.

I found it. It's right here.

Okay, go. Okay.

Fifteen doors. "Fifteen doors on both sides,

but in one, a secret resides."

So we need to figure out how to get in one.

"But in one a secret resides." We need to get in here.

Fifteen doors on both side-- yeah, we just need to get ins--

( gasps ) Right here!

( gasps ) Oh, my God. Joey, you're a genius.

I have a keen eye.

Is my group even helping at this point?

Is it just me? Hello?

Pop it on. What's this one?

"Burn and churn and pour in more."

both: Burn and churn?

- Butter? - Butter.

"Burn and churn and pour in more."

He's coming, guys!

( growls ) Go, go, go.

You know, we have a smart team assembled here,

and none of us can figure this thing out.

Churn and burn and pour me some more?

Mortimer, is there a separate clue for the pump station?

So at this point I'm like, let's ignore these riddles

and head to the gas station, where we know that

there is a clue to unlock one of the Lazarus Box's coins.

The pump station had a code. There was a lock.

- It's worth a sh*t. - Let's do it.

- Look, he's right there. - Hurry, hurry, hurry back.

Guys, oh, my God, oh, my god, oh, my God.

- Swift, swift, swift. - Go.

- ( roars ) - Nikita: Oh, my God.

Joey: Guys, what does it say?

"88 keys open the door.

Its tune will leave you wanting more."

- What? - 88 keys.

( gasps ) A piano, a piano.

In this room, there's a piano in here.

Good boy.

- Joey: There's a piano--oh. - Got it.

- Yes, yes, yes. - Good job, Manny.

- Guys, he's coming. - Get under a red light.

(foreboding music)

Okay, "There are 500 coffins and 500 men who need them.

"The undertaker asks the first man to go to every coffin and open it.

"Then he asks the second man to go to every coffin and close it.

"The third one goes to every third coffin, and so on.

How many area open?

- Ooh, that is--that's-- - A lot.

That's pretty intense. Let's not do that one.

Nikita, distract him. I'm gonna go around.

- Got it. - Bring him out.

Hey, daddy. Want a piece of this?

Oh, my God. ( whooshing )

- Manny, run! - ( squeals )

- Manny, run, run, run! - You dropped it!

- Manny, you dropped it! - ( roars )

Nikita: ( screams ) ( crash )

- Oh, my gosh. - Burn, burn.

Churn?

But you're not-- ( sighs )

- Where you pour in more? - Pour in more, like--

But, like, what? That makes no sense.

- Burn! - Oh, burn is--okay.

And churn.

( gas can clanking )

Churn. Ice cream?

All these are empty except this one.

Guys, I found it. I found it, guys.

Safiya, you found it?

Finally, Safiya finds it,

but we're pretty far behind at this point.

"I live beneath the faces of the dead, finding me will get you a step ahead."

- Those are faces of the dead. - Guys, look in every skull.

Nikita: There's a skull over here.

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

Go, go, go, go.

"Round and round and round we go, where we stop, no one knows."

- Carousel. - Carousel, carousel, carousel.

- Carousel, carousel, carousel. - It's a carousel.

Colleen: Joey?

Just keep looking under the skulls, guys.

( sniffs, sighs )

Oh, my God, there's something under here, dude.

- Did you find it? - Yes.

Hold it. Bring the key. Bring the key.

I have it. I have the key.

- Joey: What? - Bring the key now.

- Oh, you have the key? - Yeah.

"Round and round and round we go."

Is it like a riddle?

There are so many places it could be on this thing.

Hey, guys, he's heading back. ( growling )

- He's coming back. - All right, he's coming.

- sh**t, sh**t. - He's coming back pretty quick.

- ( screams ) - Go, go, go, go.

- ( roars ) - "Round and round and round we go, where it stops..."

It's the gems. We won.

- Guys, we won. - We won.

Wait, he's coming. Don't get catched.

( excited chatter )

My god, that was terrifying.

- Come on, group hug. - Congratulations.

Team Badass Bitch.

You too, honey, come on, we're huggers.

Guys, looks like the other group finished.

The other team's assembled their hand.

We're going into the elimination challenge.

I'm kind of angry, to be honest,

because Matt and I solved two out of three clues,

and we didn't get a lot of help.

- Hi. - Hey, guys.

- Hello. - Hey.

- So you guys found the stones? - Yeah, we did.

- We have all four. - Good job.

- Congrats, congrats, guys. - Thank you.

Good job. Good job.

So I guess that means that you guys are up for vote?

- Yeah, that is what that means. - That is how the rules go.

So this letter that we got says,

"The blood gem can only be recovered

"by learning the name of the man without one.

"Two must be selected by vote to enter

his toxic lair and steal it from him."

So there's still one more gem we need.

Yeah, the big one in the center?

- Yeah. - So, shall we lounge it up?

- Yeah. - Let's go vote.

Matpat: So we end up going back to the Divine Lounge.

We see the obsidian stones that the other team got.

The big blood gem in the middle

is the only thing that's missing.

That's the prize of our next challenge.

All righty, tell us how it was for you guys out there.

We have to decide who to vote for. This isn't gonna be easy.

I wanna hear my friends plead their cases.

I wanna know what they feel they've done,

because I want the strongest competitors moving forward.

Plead your case to us.

I think my record speaks for itself throughout this game.

- I've been committed to saving Everlock. - True.

I've been committed to ending the carnival master.

- Also true. - I've been there,

front of the line, solving puzzles, last--

Time's up, honey.

I feel like for this challenge, I sort of pulled my weight.

The first clue--I feel like I knew it was the gazebo right away.

I found both of our fingers.

I know that I didn't pull my weight into this challenge,

so it is kinda hard for me to go in and plead my case for this.

Do you wanna just volunteer yourself at that point?

How could we have gone through all of this,

and you're literally gonna sit there and not defend yourself?

You are about to die!

Like, plead your case. Tell me why you should stay.

She seems like she doesn't even care.

I just-- I'd rather leave it at that, to be honest.

I care about everybody. I do have a few limitations.

I'm a little smaller, so when we're all together,

and we're all crowding around, I genuinely can't see.

Ro--it's the same kind of story.

She doesn't really feel like she contributed in any way to her team.

I just want her to defend herself,

show that she's still passionate about surviving,

otherwise she's gonna go in.

Even though I feel like you guys have

everything stacked against you, what's most hurting...

- You're defeated. - You're defeated.

And we need fighters.

If we're looking at physical prowess, I can do the splits.

- Wow. - Prove it!

- I wanna see this. - Here we go.

- Don't rip your pants. - I hope I will not rip these pants.

There we go. Pretty good, right?

- Okay. - Okay.

You've earned my vote-- I mean, not my vote.

It is now time to vote.

Only people from the losing team will be displayed.

- Are you ready? - Yes.

Let's start with you.

Matpat: If I was scared before, I'm even more scared now.

There's only four possible people to pick.

And even though I've done a lot

to help these teams, who knows?

Safiya: I think that out of the four of us,

it would be crazy to put me in this challenge

because I think the group needs me.

( whispers ) No hard feelings.

Honestly, I am accepting the fact

that I have a very strong chance

of being eliminated tonight.

On a lot of challenges, my name has been brought up,

and I've been getting very lucky, so...

I'm getting the sense that people want to send me into the challenge,

but I do not want to go into this challenge.

( whispers ) See you soon, girl.

Colleen: I want Teala gone.

I think we should put Matt up against Teala

to ensure that Teala doesn't win.

I feel like, for the group,

for us to escape the entire night, we need Ro back.

I wanna give the kiss of death to homegirl Teala, who--

love the girl, great outfit-- but really, girl,

she's not contributing anything to the group.

Joey: For the third time, I'm voting for Teala.

Huh. Third time.

How is she still alive?

I will now shuffle, then draw two.

- Good luck. - I'm really scared.

The first one into the challenge is...

Oh, my God.

The Super Spy.

The second one--

the Jet-Setter.

- We're gonna find his name.

Now I'm scared, 'cause I don't want Ro to die,

but I also don't wanna die.

Maybe by going through this process, you'll find that fire.

- Mm-hmm. - Mm-hmm.

(ominous music)

There's a bridge.

Teala: "There are two sets of eight letters

"hidden throughout the lair that spell the name

"of The Man with No Name-- one red and one yellow.

"The first to find their set and arrange them

must call out his name."

In this challenge, we need to run around,

find all the letters,

and figure out what this guy's name is.

"They will then receive the blood gem,

and the other will be strangled."

It's like a dark, creepy, Easter egg hunt.

All right, ladies, are you ready?

Teala, you remember, you're yellow.

- I'm yellow. - Ro, you're red.

- I'm red. - Approach the bridge.

( both whimpering )

Teala: After running away from The Man with No Name

for so long, the fact that we are going to his lair

terrifies me.

Good luck.

- Come on, girl. - Okay.

(eerie music)

I am scared for them.

Red, red.

This fog is thick.

I can't see anything. I have to move like he does.

( low growling )

While this is going on,

The Man with No Name is chasing us.

I can definitely tell that Ro's spirits are back up.

She's so happy and proud of herself

for making it out of there alive,

and I think we're gonna see a new Ro moving forward.

- Get over here. - Come on.

- Come on. - Come on.

- Manny: Give us hugs. - Yes, yes.

Manny: So Ro comes in with the third artifact cleansed,

and we are feeling ourselves, we only have five to go,

and now we're realizing that we kind of messed up.

Did you find any coins while you were there?

No, we didn't find any coins,

so did we lose our chance of opening this?

I hope not, because I think it could really help us out if we get it.

This whole part of the night has just been super frustrating,

like, we didn't finish finding our stones,

and we didn't get the coin for the Lazarus Box.

And I'm wondering,
