01x08 - Get Rich or Lie Trying

["Battle of the Brave" by 5 Alarm
feat. Scarlett Burke playing]

♪ Can you hear the battle cry?… ♪

[Corey] Final four. I'm here. I love it.

But this is the part now that gets tricky.

This is the part in my mind
where I have to keep everybody

right where I have them.

And at this point in the game,
I think Sam's the millionaire

because she lied about the clue
the millionaire has two sisters.

She has to go home.

I need that money.

♪ Can you feel this is our time?… ♪

I'm so close to something
that I've worked so hard for.

I need to put the truth out there.

Corey has the money.

My soul tells me he has the money.

He's the only other person that I know
that possibly has two sisters.

He's gonna lie and he's gonna fight

and he's gonna kick and scream and scratch

because that's what he's done
from the beginning.

But I'm not falling for what he says.

The only thing that I am sure of is

I'm walking away with the money.

["Battle of the Brave" continues]

♪ I'll meet you on the dark side
In the shadow… ♪

[Sydnee] Unfortunately, I do not have
a single ally in this game anymore.

There's not a soul here that I can trust.

So I have to watch my back.

I think the millionaire is Cara.

She is playing an innocent, naive game.

But we all know we're here
for a game of deception.

Nobody expects me to win.

But I can do this.

At the end of the day, there's one winner.

And I play for keeps.

♪ Welcome to the battle ♪

♪ Battle of the brave ♪

[Cara] Every fiber of my being
is trying so hard to hold in the fact

that I'm the millionaire.

I know Sam and Corey really trust me.

And I think that's
really helping me right now.

I need to win that money.

That million dollars could help
so many people in my life.

I just know I have to do this.

Now it's game on.

-[music ends]

-[thunder rumbling]
-[rain pattering]

[pensive music playing]

[Cara] And then there were four.

[laughs]

-[Cara] Who would have thought?
-[Sam chuckles]

Wow!

I say congratulations to all y'all.

-[Sam] Yeah.
-Final four.

This has been an emotional roller coaster.

It's not easy. And I'm proud of y'all.

It's coming down to the wire now.

[Sam] Holy moly.

-Good morning.
-Morning.

-Such a beautiful day.
-[Sam] Oh God. [clears throat]

[Peter] The millionaire remains at large.

And they've snuck past you.

Well, three of you.

Look around this table.

Someone has played a very good game.

And this is the final chance.

The final chance to catch them
and take that money for yourself.

And soon we will have
our most high stakes guest activity yet.

Frankly, it's shocking.

But there is a twist.

[curious music playing]

This game is constantly changing.

[suspenseful music playing]

[Peter] There will be no trophy room
after this activity.

But there is a massive consequence
for losing.

One person from the losing team
will be going home,

voted on by the winning team.

Wow.

Oh my God.

I mean, we've all got to go home
at some point, right?

I don't plan on losing.

That's the spirit.

And once one of you goes home,

the remaining three players
will fight for the one million dollars

in a final devilish game.

It's truly worth the wait.

Enjoy your breakfasts. Goodbye.

[Sam] Thank you, Peter.

[dramatic sting]

Well, well, well.

-Someone's going home.
-[Sydnee] You want to go talk?

[Cara] Yeah, we can talk.

[pensive music playing]

[Sydnee] Cara is suspicious to me
because she's deflected a lot.

I haven't had any one-on-one conversations
with her.

Seems like she's maybe avoiding me.

I need to understand what she's thinking.

How are you feeling?

[groaning] I have two suspicions.

-Me? Oh, okay, I was gonna say…
-No.

I would tell you flat out in all honesty.

It's not me. I don't think it's you.

It's not me.

-There's four of us left.
-Mm-hmm.

-So one of them is a millionaire.
-Mm-hmm.

I don't trust that Sam doesn't have it,

and I don't know if Corey's telling
the truth about everything.

About the sisters?

Yeah.

So how do we figure that out?

Corey likes you a lot more than
he likes me. He does not like me.

What? No, he likes you.

Corey is not my biggest fan.

We'll just have to be aware of anything
because we cannot slip up.

-We need to partner up and win.
-Yeah, I agree.

Because that's our only option
at this point.

To get one of them out
and get the money ourselves.

-Yeah.
-Mm-hmm.

[Cara] I don't trust Sydnee.

She's saying she is gunning
for Corey and Sam,

and I don't buy that.

I feel like she's definitely on to me.

I just think it'd be smart now
to send her home.

I'm puzzled because obviously
nobody is gonna think

that anybody is telling the truth
at this point.

-No.
-There's four of us, right, so…

[Sam] Yes, right.

There's such thing as a trust circle.

There's no such thing as a trust square.
And it's like…

The only person that I trust is Cara.

I don't trust Sam.

I also do not trust Sydnee.

I'm ready to hunt both of them down
and send them back home.

I don't think anybody feels safe
right now.

[dramatic music playing]

[Sam] This game is a mental whirlwind,

and I want so badly to make it to the end.

A million dollars would be life-changing,

and it really is something that I can use,
my family can use, my son can use.

It could help with fertility treatments.

So I'm focused on winning this activity

so I can be safe
from the next elimination.

[wind howling]

[suspenseful music playing]

[sighing] All good things
have to come to an end.

-But we've had a really great time.
-[Cara] This is such a nice…

I just kept thinking,
I just don't want to go first.

-Yeah.
-That'd be so embarrassing.

-To not going first.
-To not going first.

[Corey] R.I.P. Harry.

-R.I.P. Harry.
-[laughing]

[Sydnee] R.I.P. Harry.

[alarm buzzing]

What the…

[harp glissando plays]

-[Sydnee] There's always a twist.
-[Corey] I don't like the sound of this.

[Peter over intercom]
Guests, it's time for our next activity.

We believe there has been
a security breach.

Your boxes and the million dollars
are in jeopardy.

Let's head to the trophy room
and safely retrieve your boxes.

[dramatic music playing]

I do not think we're prepared
for what's about to happen.

There's a million dollars on the line.

I need to step up and protect my money.

[dramatic music continues]

[Sydnee gasps] Oh yes.

[Corey] No way. [chuckles]

Yeah.

[Peter] Guests,
welcome to today's activity.

Here's how this is gonna go down.

Working in teams of two,

one of you will traverse the laser grid

wearing special glasses that block
the lasers, protecting your eyes.

The only problem is, you won't
be able to see the lasers at all.

-[Sam] Oh my God.
-[Cara] Oh.

Your partner, who can see,

will guide you on a safe path,
avoiding the lasers.

If either of you hit a laser,

you will receive a ten-second time penalty
freezing you in the spot.

Once you reach your box,
you must place it on the pedestal

back at your starting line.

The first team to retrieve
both of their boxes wins.

[thrilling music playing]

I have to win this.

The three that I have next to me
think that I'm a threat,

and it's a lot easier to get rid of me
than it would be to keep me around.

[Peter] I'm gonna pick medallions
to set the teams.

The mouse, Sam,
you will be with the gazelle, Corey.

That means, Sydnee and Cara,
you're on the other team.

[intriguing music playing]

I want to remind you
this is a communication game.

[Cara] Mm-hmm.

And you will need to rely on
the person who could be out to get you.

-I didn't think about that. Wow.
-Yeah.

[Peter] Please don
your protective glasses.

Decide who's going first.

And good luck.

This is the one challenge
where I feel super confident in.

I am a tiny girl,
and these lasers are higher up.

But if we do win, that leaves me, Sydnee,
and someone else in the final three.

And I know Sydnee
is definitely very dangerous.

She's won every single challenge.

So I want to throw the competition.

[dramatic music playing]

To stay with Corey and Sam.

I just feel in my gut they are gonna
take me with them to the final three.

[Sam] I think I'll be able to crawl
all the way there after this.

You're gonna crawl under all of these.

That's actually really smart
because I'm small.

This challenge is crazy.

Probably the hardest one yet.

I'm tall,
so it's gonna be extremely difficult.

But I got to win this challenge.

Because between Sam and I,
I think it's gonna be a lot easier

to vote me out than her.

[buzzing]

Go.

[Corey] Drop. Stay to the left.

[Cara] Okay, go down. Go down. You got it.

Okay.

[Sydnee] Tell me what to do.
Tell me what to do.

-Okay, Corey, talk to me.
-Drop, drop, drop, drop.

You're gonna roll through the rest of it.

-Wait, stay, stay. Okay.
-Go, go, go, go, go.

[Cara] Head down. Keep crawling.
Keep crawling. Go.

I can't.

[buzzing]

I know I can't do too much to give it away
that I'm throwing the competition.

But I have to find subtle ways
to slow Sydnee down.

If I can give Corey and Sam
a big enough lead,

then hopefully no one
will suspect anything when we lose.

-[chimes]
-Okay, stand up.

Okay, hop over your right foot.

-[buzzing]
-[Cara] Um… Okay, hold on.

Ugh!

I'm just getting zapped over and over
and continuously penalized.

I need Cara to start using her voice
and just be communicative right now.

-[chimes]
-Cara, go.

[Cara] Okay, scoot up, scoot up.

Okay, one sec. Hold on a sec. Hold on.

You have that moving one
right in front of you.

[Sam] Okay.

[Corey] Back up a bit.
Back up a bit. Okay. Okay.

Get down and crawl through the rest of it
and you're at the box. Go, drop.

Go all the way down.
You're there. You're there.

-[buzzing]
-[Sam] Ugh!

[Corey] Get up and stay ducked.
Get up and stay ducked.

Oh God. Right here?

One, two, three, hop.

-Okay, now move forward. Stop.
-[buzzing]

You hit it. You hit it.

[Corey] You're right there.
You're right there.

-[chimes]
-Go.

-[chimes]
-Bring it. Yeah.

[Sam] Take the goggles. Take the goggles.
Take the goggles. Go, go, go, go, go.

Okay.

Sam's got her box.

Come on.

[Cara] Hold on. It's coming back.
It's that moving one, Syd.

You're just going to have to army crawl
as low as you can.

[Sam] All the way down. Down.
Get down and now, yeah, army crawl.

[Cara] Get down. Okay, get down.
Okay, hold on, Syd.

-Okay.
-[Cara] Try literally not to move.

[Sam] Go real slow, real slow, real slow.
Keep going.

Keep going. Keep going, Corey.

-You're doing perfect. Go faster.
-[buzzing]

-[Corey groans]
-[Sam] Hold on. Hold on.

[Cara] Okay, go.

Okay, hunch to the left.
Yeah. Okay, go, go, go, go, go.

[chimes]

[Sydnee] Goggles. Go.

Okay, hold on.

Sydnee got her box.

-[Sam] All right, go. Okay.
-[Sydnee] Okay, down.

Wait. Wait.

[Cara] Thank goodness.

Corey's already way further
in front of me.

-Everything is going to plan.
-[Sydnee] Go.

[Cara] So I'm feeling pretty confident
that I have this in the bag.

[Sydnee] Stay as low as you can.

-[Sam] Almost there. Watch your foot.
-[Corey] Where am I?

[Sam] Roll through.
Roll through nice and slow.

[suspenseful music playing]

Okay, good. Keep going.
Okay, go. Keep going.

Okay, shimmy across nice and slow.
Perfect. All right, watch out.

Okay, you're gonna have to go to the left.
To the left.

-Is this the left?
-Yeah-- Yeah, but Corey…

Move… Put your hand down.

This is definitely really hard.

She tells me to roll.
I do the roll. I do the boogie leg.

Now I'm on my back.
She's like, "Left, left, left."

I'm going this way. I'm going backwards.

My head's going towards the wall.
It's a complete mess right now.

-Can I get up?
-No, no, no. Not your head.

Argh!

[Sam] Your whole body
has to go to the left to clear that laser.

[Sydnee] Okay, keep going.

What? Stop. Stop, stop.

Okay, go to your right.

You've got a beam right above you.
Stay low.

-[chimes]
-[Sam] Okay, keep going. Shimmy through.

Come on, babe. We're right there.
Cara, go a little bit quicker.

Just stay low. Quicker. Stay low.

Stay low. Stay low. Keep your elbows down.

Nice job. Good job.

I fly through these laser beams.

And Corey's taking forever.

[Sydnee] Stay low. Keep going. Go.

[Cara] I'm almost at the finish line.

[Sydnee] Watch your heels.
Careful of your heels. Go.

[Cara] I cannot let Sydnee and I win.

Stay low. Head low. Head low.
Keep your head down.

-[buzzing]
-[Cara] Ahh!

-Fudge.
-[Sydnee] You're okay. You're okay.

[Cara] Everything is so crazy.

So I'll just keep zapping myself,

praying that Corey starts moving
so they can win.

-[Sydnee] Cara, stay low and go.
-[buzzing]

Okay. That's okay. You're okay.
Stay low. I need you to stay low.

[Sam] Nice and slow. Okay. And go over.
Over. Yes. Go over. Yes.

-Yes!
-[buzzing]

[Corey grunts]

-[chimes]
-[Sydnee] Go, go, go, go.

Keep your heels low.

-Keep your heels low.
-[buzzing]

Come on, babe. You're right there.
Keep your heels low.

This seems odd.
How do you mess up this badly?

Is it throwing the game?
Is it distraction?

Could that be it?

-Okay, Corey, after this, get your box.
-Okay.

-[chimes]
-[Sam] Get your box. Come! Come, come.

-Come, come, come.
-Damn it.

[sighs] Thank God.
Over there. Just put it there.

[Peter] Game over.

[music fades]

[Peter] Congratulations.

Sam and Corey, you have won
by retrieving your boxes first.

-[exhales deeply]
-You're okay.

Sydnee and Cara, I'm sorry, but that means
you two are up for elimination.

One of you will be going home tonight
at our elimination dinner.

[dramatic piano note plays]

[Cara] I did it. I threw the activity.

Oh, this game is so twisted.

I really hope it doesn't backfire on me.

[Peter] Corey and Sam, you will have until
the end of dinner to make your decision.

[Sam] Oh, we did it.

[gentle piano music playing]

[Sydnee] I still need to fight

and do whatever I can
to talk to Sam and Corey

to convince them to make me stay,

but it's gonna be a tough one.

[music continues]

[thunder rumbling]

[music fades]

-Congrats.
-Oh God. How are you guys feeling?

Terrible.

Yeah.

I'm happy for you, though.

Ultimately, I decided to trust
Corey and Sam.

I try not to get too emotional,

try to just sit there and trust literally
my game in their hands.

I am actually terrified.

We were saying
how close it got right at the end.

I wonder, like, how does it work
with choosing somebody?

I think you got to try to get
the millionaire out if it's one of us two,

or if it's not, then it doesn't matter.

-Can I talk to you?
-[Cara] Mm-hmm.

[Cara sighs]

[exhales deeply]

He's the millionaire.

Yeah, but he's not on the chopping block.
It's me or Cara.

So you could be honest with me.
Who would you choose?

[tense music playing]

I truly believe that Sam has the money.

I don't know. I don't know.

My mind is, like,
I'm so stressed out right now.

I put all my trust I had in you guys.

Now I don't know
if it's gonna backfire on me.

What do you mean?

[Cara] In the challenge.

But what are you saying?

That I waited.

[dramatic music playing]

Otherwise, I would have just literally
taken that home.

I would have crawled that in two seconds.

[Corey exhales deeply]

But why did you do that?
What, to get Syd out?

[Cara] Yeah.

I feel sick to my stomach right now.
It sucks.

Something's not adding up right now.

Cara's got here from being quiet.

We're in this game of deceit.

Maybe she's a good bluffer.

She's dangerous.

Now I'm starting to think
maybe I can't trust Cara right now.

If you had the money right now…

If I had the money right now,
I would've never done that.

Why would I do that?

How do I know you're not lying to me?

Why would I lie to you? Are you for real?

Why wouldn't you at this point?

That sucks that you say that.
It really sucks. No. Whatever.

[melancholic music playing]

That sucks.

Why did I do this?
I should have just won it.

I really thought Corey would have my back.

I just feel so uneasy,
and I don't want to be in this position.

Who are you going to vote for?

[breathes deeply]

["I'll Rise [Trailer Version]" playing]

[Cara] God.

[Sam] This game is crazy.

Do I think Cara's the millionaire?
I don't know.

Cara could have been lying

I'm panicking inside.

[Corey] I'm really, really confused
at this point.

I'm closest to Cara right now,

[song ends]

-Hi.
-[guests] Hi, Peter.

Welcome to your final elimination dinner.

Sam, Corey, you'll vote together

for the person you think
is most likely to have the money.

That person will leave
The Stag immediately.

There'll be three of you left
for the final endgame.

But there's one more twist.

If the millionaire makes it through
tonight's elimination dinner,

they will receive an advantage
in our next and final activity.

[Sam exhales deeply]

This is an open discussion,
but Sydnee, would you like to start?

This is not where I wanted to be again.

I don't like showing weakness

because that's something
that's been used against me,

and so being able to be
a strong player here,

maybe I shouldn't have,

and maybe I wouldn't be
in the position I'm in right now.

But I think we are not at the end yet,

and I think that you should be smart

and consider what you need
to actually win the game.

Just tell me one thing
that you've lied to me about

to help me make my decision.

I voted for Lydia.

But I was not the millionaire, and I was
just as shocked that she went home.

[Corey] Okay.

Cara?

I have played a really honest game.

It's who I am.

[somber music playing]

I can't lie.

I still have yet to lie to you guys.

And I feel like me being honest
and true to myself

is more important to me,

and I'm sad
I haven't received anything yet, but…

I'm just really grateful to be here,

and this is the coolest opportunity ever.

[exhales deeply]

And I care about all of you guys so much.

[Sam] So you said that you wouldn't lie.

You wake up. A million dollars
is in your box. What do you do?

I haven't gotten to that spot yet,

but I feel like I would have
let it out of the bag the first day.

Emotionally, I don't think
I could handle that, but…

I haven't been there yet,
so I don't know what else to say.

You know, we are at the end.
This isn't an honest game, right.

We try to be as honest as we can,

but, um, what if

everything that I thought was obvious
isn't so obvious?

[pensive music playing]

[Peter] Sydnee and Cara have both told us

why they think
they should remain at The Stag.

Now Corey and Sam, you must vote,
and you will vote together on one ballot.

The guest you choose will be eliminated,
and we'll open their box

and see if they were the millionaire.

If you vote out the millionaire,

the money will be randomly assigned
to a different box

before our endgame begins.

You may now vote together.

[music continues]

[suspenseful music playing]

[Corey] Syd is a great competitor.

Maybe she could be the millionaire.

Cara and I,
we've kept this tight bond going on.

It's… It's a little scary.

Maybe she's playing
a really, really, really good game.

[pen clicking]

I take my pen, I tap on Cara's name,

then I tap on Sydnee's name,

and I'm looking in his eyes.

I can't leave it up to him
to make the decision.

I have to win this money for my family.

[dramatic music playing]

-Both in agreement?
-[Sam] Yes.

[Peter] Collect the vote, please.

[music continues]

The vote is in.

[music ends]

Sydnee.

[dramatic music playing]

How do you feel, Sydnee?

Every time I have been questioned,

I think I have handled things
with class or grace,

and I would like to continue to do that,
so I would like to open my box.

Sydnee, please unlock your box.

[melancholic music playing]

I had this great line
about looking like a million dollars,

but there not being anything in my box.

And I would like to say congratulations.

You have another empty box,
and one of you is a really great liar.

So good luck.

Sydnee, you are not our millionaire.

I do apologize, but you will need
to check out of The Stag immediately.

Thank you, Peter.

[music continues]

[footsteps receding]

[thunder rumbling]

[Sydnee] Of course I was the easy choice
to take out because I'm the bigger threat.

Come with me, please.

I'm really proud of how well I've done.

Being here has allowed me to know

that I don't have to play small

and I don't have to dim any shine
to make anyone else feel better.

I am a strong player.

Honestly, I probably would have
gotten rid of me too.

[melancholic music continues]

[Cara exhales deeply]

[Sam] I think I could probably breathe
for the first time

since I've been here at this hotel.

I decided to save Cara.

I don't trust her 100%,
but I trust her a lot.

I'm grateful that it's the three of us,

but the reality is,
I am certain the millionaire is Corey.

And now Cara and I,
I think that we really need to be united

to get that money.

[music ends]

Corey, you okay?

All I know for a fact
is that one of you two have it.

[pensive music playing]

If it came down
to a vote of some way, I'm out.

I'll let you guys talk.

-Corey, we don't need to talk.
-You guys can talk.

-[Sam] Corey, we don't need to talk.
-You guys just talk.

I voted for Sydnee
because I don't trust her at all,

and if it comes down to an activity,
I wouldn't want to go against Syd.

The money is in Sam's box.

Unfortunately, Cara and Sam have
a little trust bond in here.

It's me against them right now.

[Cara] I hate this.

I see Corey get upset.

I feel like he's mad
he didn't vote me out,

and I'm nervous.

But I just have to keep my cool,

play dumb a little bit,

and I need to make sure
that he still trusts me.

[Corey] I don't have the money.

I don't have it either.

And you know that.

And she's going for you.

You're gonna come for me too.

Why am I gonna come for you?

Why wouldn't you?

Either way, I'd be by myself.
It doesn't matter who's in here.

I don't know why you keep thinking
you're by yourself.

-I'm proud of you.
-[exhales]

So many people are gonna be proud of you,
and we can do this.

But what if we opened your box
and that money was in there?

That wouldn't happen, so…

Who do you think has the money?

I mean, it's between you or Sam,

and you're looking at me dead in the eye
saying that it's not you.

[harp glissando plays]

[intercom chimes]

[Peter] Congratulations, guests.
You've made it to the final three.

Our final game of deception
is almost upon us,

but before that,
we have our last activity.

Please come and join me
in the chandelier room.

[intriguing music playing]

Well, anyways, you're gonna believe
what you want to believe.

[Corey] I have no clue what to think.

It's not that I don't trust Cara.

I just have to be insanely careful.

She's dangerous,
especially if she's teamed up with Sam.

I have zero protection
in this game right now.

I have to trust me,

and that's the only person I can trust
in this house right now.

[tense music playing]

[Corey] What is this?

[Cara] Hmm.

Guests, the final chapter in this game
of predator and prey is nearly upon us.

From here on out,
it's every player for themselves.

Now, I want to look sharp for the endgame.

So before you are five needles
I need threaded

for my newest suit to be tailored.

You'll simply need to thread
these five needles.

I know nothing about sewing.

[Peter] The goal of this activity is
to finish in the shortest amount of time.

But be warned,
whoever finishes in third place

will have a huge disadvantage
in the final endgame.

[exhales deeply] Wow.

[Peter] Now, as I said at dinner,

since you did not eliminate
the millionaire,

they will begin with one thread
already through a needle.

Oh, come on, man.

[Peter] Cara, you will go first.

Corey and Sam,
would you please leave the room

so that Cara can complete
her five threads?

[unsettling music playing]

[Peter clears throat]

Before we begin, how are you feeling?

I feel good.

Working at In-N-Out,
I have to fold cheese perfectly.

I have to be very delicate when I cook.

All right, well,
that could be a million-dollar skill.

I know.

So, as the millionaire,
I have given you a one-thread head start.

[Cara] I appreciate it.

-[dramatic whoosh]
-[breathes deeply]

[Cara] Part of me feels very worried.

If I complete this challenge too fast,

I feel like it could be
very, very suspicious.

There's so much going on in my head.

I have to be really strategic

to not be obvious
that I have an advantage.

I'm going to say go
and start the stopwatch.

And I won't stop until the fifth needle
is threaded and back in the pincushion.

Are you ready?

[exhales deeply] I'm ready.

Three, two, one, go.

[suspenseful music playing]

[dings]

[Cara groans]

[music continues]

[dings]

That's three.

The pressure feels on.

My strategy is just
trying not to be too fast,

but still get first place
so I can be in control of my game.

-[dings]
-That's four.

One needle remaining.

[suspenseful music continues]

[music intensifies]

-[dings]
-Finished.

-[exhales deeply]
-Well done. One minute, 21 seconds.

Don't judge a girl that flips burgers.

[Peter] Can you please get Sam?

[dramatic music playing]

-We meet again.
-[Peter] How you feeling?

[exhales deeply]

Obviously nervous,
but, um, I have sewn before.

Oh, good.

I think slow and steady.

-Slow and steady.
-Because--

Well, you know,
it's the fastest one wins, yeah?

Yes, but slow is smooth
and smooth is fast.

All right.

Your fate lies in those five needles
in front of you. Are you ready?

[Sam] I'm ready.

[Peter] Three, two, one, go.

Okay.

[suspenseful music playing]

-[dings]
-[Peter] That's one.

I have no time to waste,

especially if someone has the advantage.

But I also feel really confident.
I'm ready for it.

-[dings]
-That's two.

-[dings]
-That's three.

[sings]

That's four.

[music continues]

[inhales deeply]

[exhales]

[music stops abruptly]

[Sam groans]

I have to focus.

I have one shot so I can get
an opportunity to get this money,

and that's it.

[tense music playing]

Stay.

[Sam groans]

[buzzing]

Come on.

It's a really crappy feeling
to get all thrown out of whack.

That's what's happening.

[music continues]

[groans]

[breathes deeply]

[Sam groans]

[Sam] I'm just going, "Come on. Come on."

Wow. Okay.

[softly] Why are you not going through?

There it is.

There you go.

-[bell dings]
-[exhales]

[inhales deeply]

[exhales deeply]

Three minutes, 12 seconds.

If you could send Corey through,
please, thank you.

Ooh! [sighs]

Well, that was a doozy.

I tried as hard as I could,
but I hope it's fast enough.

Ultimately, I just need to beat Corey.

[Peter] Corey, take a seat.

Thank you.

[exhales sharply]

A simple task
with great consequence before you.

How do you think you're gonna do?

Well, I've never threaded before.

I got pretty bad eyesight
and bigger hands, so…

we're about to find out.

To me, this is probably
the hardest challenge yet.

[chuckling] There's no…
There's no doubt about it.

I'm gonna get nervous, shaky,

and I'm pretty sure
these… these ladies with smaller hands

are… are about to cook my a*s.

-Are you ready?
-[exhales deeply]

Three, two, one, go.

[suspenseful music playing]

[Corey] This is hard to see.

Come on, baby.

Oh, you mother…

This is not good.

I got the first one through,

and it somehow came back out.

At this point, I'm thinking it's over.

[music continues]

Stay, stay, stay.

[dings]

-That's the first needle. One needle down.
-[sighs]

[suspenseful music continues]

-[dings]
-[Peter] That's two.

[exhales]

[inhales sharply] Come on.
You're the biggest one.

[buzzing]

-[dings]
-[Peter] That's three.

[Corey] I'm just flying through the rest
at this point.

First little tiny one went through. Pew!

I have one more and that's it.

[dings]

-[exhales]
-That's four. It's the final needle.

[music continues]

-[dings]
-[exhales deeply]

-[Peter] Well done.
-[sighs]

-Oh my God.
-[Peter laughs]

Wow. Did you take a single breath?

-No, I didn't.
-Wow, I don't think I did.

Well, anyway,
that was two minutes and 34 seconds.

[dramatic sting]

[Corey] Two minutes and 34 seconds?
Don't sound bad to me.

I'm just praying this time is fast enough.

I have no idea what Cara and Sam got.

Plus, one of them are the millionaire,
and they have an advantage.

Excellent job threading my needles.

Corey, Cara, Sam, we're nearly to the end
of our millionaire's journey.

You are this close to the million.

But first, these results will determine
the order in which we play the final game.

But any one of you can still win.

Cara, you placed first

with a time of one minute and 21 seconds.

Well done.

[Cara chuckles emotionally]

Cara got these needles pinned down fast.

The millionaire had an advantage.

That's suspicious to me.

You look disappointed.

No, I'm proud of myself.

-You should be.
-[chuckles]

[Peter] The guest in second place…

is…

Corey.

Two minutes and 34 seconds.

Well done.

And Sam, three minutes, 12 seconds.

It was unfortunate there at the end.

There's still time.

Yeah, there is.

["Fighter" playing]

Well, guests, this is it.

The final game is a game
of wits, of intelligence, and deception.

Follow me downstairs.

[Sam sighs]

["Fighter" continues]

♪ I was born above the stars ♪

♪ With iron in my heart… ♪

[Corey] I don't know
what's about to happen in this game,

but there's a one in three chance
that I could be a millionaire.

I need that money.

I'm playing for a lot more than myself
right now.

Back home is depending on me,
and I'm close.

There's absolutely nothing I'm not doing
right now in order to win this money.

♪ Fear is afraid of the dark side of me… ♪

[Sam] I feel like the underdog,

but I didn't leave my two-year-old son
to be here for nothing.

I'm a fighter, and I'm not gonna give up.

♪ I'm a fighter, survivor ♪

♪ Awakened and alive… ♪

I have a good relationship
with both Sam and Corey.

They're good people,

and I'm grateful I'm here playing the game
with them at the end.

But I just have to be aware

because I know that it's gonna be
every man for themselves,

and I don't know what's gonna play out.

I know deep down in my heart
that I deserve this.

I have to stay focused. So close.

Oh, I need to stop crying too. [chuckles]

♪ I'm a fighter ♪

♪ I'm a fighter ♪

Guests, welcome to the final game of wits.

It will determine who leaves The Stag
with one million dollars.

[dramatic music playing]

The first and second place players,
Cara and Corey,

will take turns swapping the contents
of a single box in private.

You both must make a move,

even if you do not move
the contents of your box.

We will go in stages.

First, Corey.

You can swap your box with Sam or Cara

or even Cara's box with Sam's.

Then, Cara will have the same opportunity,
not knowing which boxes Corey has swapped.

Sam, as our third-place player,

you will not get to move any boxes,

but you still have a chance to influence
what Corey and Cara do.

Your words are your power in this game.

[exhales deeply]

The goal at the end of this game

is to have the million dollars
inside your box.

Whoever's box contains
the million dollars at the end wins it.

[exhales deeply]

This will take strategic gameplay
and, most importantly,

knowing where
that million dollars is right now.

[suspenseful music playing]

[Cara] I am worried that
Corey knows I'm the millionaire.

I didn't anticipate him second-guessing
taking me with him to the finals.

But I'm also a little nervous

that I finished the needle activity
too quickly.

I think I need to change up my strategy
and go hard at him.

I want to act obvious.

I need him to 100% believe
that I'm the millionaire.

Because then I think that
he'll take my box,

and then I'll take my box back.

[music intensifies]

Guests, let the game begin.

[tense pulsating music playing]

Corey, how many needles
did you thread upstairs?

Five. I had no head start.

Have you ever lied to me?

[Sam] Mmm.

No. Not once.

[music continues]

[Corey] I have not lied to you.

I could have easily put you on a flight
just now, and I didn't.

You're here.

I could have easily not taken you two
to the finals.

Never have I lied to you in this game.

Wow.

There's something weird going on
right now.

This is definitely odd behavior.

She all of a sudden started
interrogating me after all of this,

you know, "I got your back, Corey.
I got your back."

I've had suspicion about Cara.

At this point, I'm thinking that
Sam is not the millionaire

and Cara is.

Boom. Cara's the millionaire,
and I have her right where I want her.

Now I need to focus on Sam

so Cara doesn't think a damn thing
right now.

Uh… [sighs]

Sam, why did you lie about the clue?

I didn't lie.

I know you did.

I didn't lie.
The millionaire has two sisters.

Lie.

You said, "I have a sister,
and I have a half-sister."

I have two half-sisters.

And now you have two half-sisters.

I have two half-sisters.

The clue wasn't
does this person have two half-sisters.

It wasn't who has two half-sisters.

You speaking louder doesn't make it true.

[tense music playing]

-[Corey] This is bullshit.
-I'm good.

-If you've got anything, go ahead.
-[Corey] Stop.

-'Cause I'm getting nowhere with this.
-Because you're full of sh*t.

[music stops]

[Sam] Sounds good.
You know you're the millionaire.

You're going to keep the money
and just swap ours.

[piano music playing]

Okay. Corey, will you stay here with me?

Uh, Cara and Sam, would you please leave
while we have a private conversation?

[suspenseful music playing]

[Corey] This is my chance to move
the money out of the millionaire's hands.

Hopefully, Cara trusts me enough

to truly believe that
I think Sam's the millionaire.

But strategically, I have to be smart.

Cara still has a chance to move the boxes.

Corey, right now, you can swap
the contents of two boxes of your choice

and attempt to move the money or not.

Talk me through what you're thinking.

The one thing I know is that
I don't have the million dollars.

I didn't expect Cara
to question me like that.

I think Sam's a liar.

That's her game.
She's trying to throw me off.

[dramatic sting]

I'm nervous. I'm scared.

But I have nothing in here,
so I am going to

put Cara's box here.

[dramatic music playing]

[exhales deeply]

Okay, so that's done.

Now, please go and find Cara
and send her down here.

[dramatic music continues]

[tense music playing]

I love you so much.

I love you too. It's honestly so cool to
watch how sweet and kind you've been.

[inhales deeply]

And you've still made it
all the way to the end.

Hi.

[tense music playing]

[Sam sighs]

Ooh, the jacket's coming off.

[Corey sighs]

[Sam] Where's the money?

So you want to tell me what move you made?

[Sam chuckles]

I think it's pretty obvious.

But I could be wrong.

[music intensifies]

[music fades]

Peter did want to see you, though.

[dramatic music playing]

[exhales]

[whispering] Good luck. You got this.

[Cara] So many things
are running through my mind.

I'm not sure if my plan to make
Corey believe I'm the millionaire worked.

He really believed
Sam was the millionaire and might still.

Did he swap boxes with Sam or with me?

[exhales deeply]

I'm hoping I know Corey well enough
at this point to answer the question,

"What would Corey do?"

[chuckles nervously]

[Peter] Cara.

-Hi.
-How are you feeling?

[Cara exhales]

I'm trying to get into Corey's head.

And I'm trying to figure out
what he would do.

[exhales deeply]

I want to say he switched with me.

[groaning]

Did he just leave it with me?

I have to go with my intuition because
it's gotten me this far. I can't waver.

What do you want to do, Cara?

[dramatic music continues]

[music fades]

[Cara] I've made my decision.

[dramatic music playing]

Okay. It is done.

[music continues]

[inhales sharply]

[exhales loudly]

[suspenseful music playing]

Guests, it's time to see
who is the final millionaire.

[music continues]

On my count, please open your boxes
at the exact same moment.

If you see the money,

you are the millionaire.

Are you ready?

[music continues]

Three.

Two.

One.

Open.

Oh my God.

[sobbing]

[Cara sobbing] Oh my God.

Oh my God.

[sobbing]

[dramatic sting]

[Peter] Congratulations, Cara.

-[Cara] Oh my God.
-You are the millionaire.

[epic music playing]

Oh gosh.

[inhales deeply]

[exhales]

[Cara sobbing]

I never, ever thought I could do
something like this.

[Peter] Well, Cara, you earned it.

You played a perfect game of trust…

-Pretty brown eyes.
-[chuckles]

[Peter] …intuition…

Do you have a sister?

I have one.

[Peter] …and deception.

The boar, Kyle.

[Cara] Oh my God.

I did it. I'm the millionaire.

I just think about my husband, my family,

telling my dad.

And I just know how proud
they're gonna be of me.

[music crescendos]

[music fades]

[Peter] Cara was the millionaire.

[pensive music playing]

The money was in your box.

And, Corey, Cara had the courage

to swap the money from your box into hers,

not knowing if it was still in there.

[exhales deeply]

[Corey] I really felt in my heart
that the money was going to be there.

And it hurts bad. It kills.

[somber music playing]

But she played a good game.
And she got me.

[Sam] Wow. It was a twist.

Ripped each other apart.

[Peter laughs]

[Sam] This is not what I expected.

I was duped.

Cara probably played
one of the best games.

The girl didn't crack.

Monetarily, I did not win
the million dollars.

But I am grateful.

And now I can kiss
my beautiful, perfect son

and my absolutely wonderful husband.

I'm really lucky.

Congratulations.

[epic music playing]

[inaudible]

I really can't believe that something good
has finally happened for me

that can change my entire life forever.

[Peter] Cara,
you are the final millionaire.

And she has two sisters.

[dramatic sting]

[sobs]

Why are you looking shocked? You're a cop.

[dramatic music playing]

[Peter laughing]

Oh my God.

[dramatic music continues]

[music ends]
