01x09 - The Final Checkpoint

Post by bunniefuu »

MANU:

Two days left.

PUNKIN:

Y'all keep pushing.

MANU:

Five remaining

and almost $750,000 at stake.

- AMY: She's got a yellow bag.

- JEANNIE: Oh, my God.

MANU: Last time,

the mountain's keeper

demanded that a fateful choice

be made.

THERRON:

"Whoever touched this bag first

"has the power to eliminate

someone immediately,

sending them and their money

off the mountain."

Dusty.

DUSTY: Making it this

far was not a surprise.

Getting voted out in this slimy

of a manner is a surprise.

I don't think a leader

would make that call.

I wouldn't be able

to sleep at night.

PUNKIN:

I was not expecting that at all.

MANU:

With so few left

I could have a target

on my back.

MANU:

and alliances shifting

I don't want to go home.

MANU: finding out

who has your back

proved difficult.

AMY:

Coming, guys. Sorry. (grunts)

Amy can't walk through the snow,

and I'm like, "Girl,

I got to deal with that

tomorrow, too?"

BECKYLEE:

Me, Punkin and Therron

are a-a tight-knit group,

and we're just bringing Nick

along as a loyal number.

MANU:

Raise your hand

if you'd like to vote Amy

off the mountain.

I have busted my a*s

like every one of you.

I deserve to go up

that mountain.

- MANU: Tonight

- We got to get out of here.

MANU: after being

evacuated to safer elevation

- THERRON: Oh, God.

- MANU: day 12

was lost to the storm.

BECKYLEE: You're so

close, you can just taste it.

- (thunder crashes)

- All you want to do

is get to that finish line.

MANU:

The pressure is on

to reach the final

checkpoint camp.

BECKYLEE:

Where even is camp?

JEANNIE:

Let's keep going.

PUNKIN:

I cannot feel my feet.

(shouts)

NICK: We got to go

up that whole thing.

MANU:

It's day 13.

- (Beckylee shouts)

- (Nick grunts)

MANU: The mountain

isn't pulling any punches.

I'm literally terrified

right now.

MANU: and neither

are the final five.

BECKYLEE:

I'm really scared, Jeannie.

If he gets a second

to vote you out,

he will, I promise you that.

I was not gunning for you.

Once a name is said,

it catches like wildfire.

NICK:

You're lying to somebody.

You're Dennis 2.0.

- What?

- MANU: The climbers

will be tested as they fight

to claim their share

of nearly $750,000.

NICK: I can't do it. No,

I can't, I can't, I can't.

(screams)

(wind whistling)



(Jeannie panting)

- PUNKIN: Jeannie, you good?

- JEANNIE: Yeah.

JEANNIE:

Now that Amy's gone,

I'll be in the back,

so I feel like I'm gonna have

to keep up a lot more.

But I trust that Nick

and Therron have my back,

so I'm gonna stick with them.

- NICK: How we doing, Jeannie?

- PUNKIN (softly): Oh, my God.

JEANNIE:

Okay.

(Jeannie sighs)

MANU:

Having waited out the storm,

the group's departure

from checkpoint eight

means their sights are set

once more upon the summit.

They have their work

cut out for them, though,

facing rugged terrain,

higher altitudes,

deep snow and punishing winds.

- THERRON: You good? The wind's blowing.

- JEANNIE: Can you help me?

- THERRON: Yeah, yeah, hold on.

- Yeah. It's that wind.

- THERRON: Yeah.

- JEANNIE: Ugh.

THERRON:

Ooh.

PUNKIN:

Ouch.

- NICK: Super windy.

- BECKYLEE: Sup very careful.

NICK:

Ooh, whoo.

JEANNIE:

(shouts) Oh, (bleep).

That is huge. Watch out.

(panting)

PUNKIN: I've been working with

Beckylee almost since day one,

so I think Beckylee

would be great

to make it to the summit with.

It's so many sand flies in here.

- Yeah, I know.

- I feel solid with Therron,

I feel solid with you.

I just think that would be

such a satisfying ending

- for me and you.

- Yes

PUNKIN:

Yes.

Nick has to go.

I think Nick

is very sneaky and shady,

so I just got to get Nick out

before he comes for me.

- Come on, Jeannie.

- Coming, guys.

(Jeannie shouts)

THERRON:

Oh, you good, Jeannie?

JEANNIE:

Yeah.

BECKYLEE:

Wow.

NICK:

My calves are on fire.

JEANNIE:

I'm feeling it now.

NICK:

At this point, I trust Therron,

I trust Jeannie

and I trust Beckylee.

That's who I want to go

to the summit with me.

If there ever was

a tough decision to make

between keeping me,

Therron or Becky,

Punkin would kick me out

of this game,

and that worries me.

So the best decision for my game

would be to take out Punkin.

- (wind blustering)

- (whooping)

NICK:

Damn.

There's a note.

PUNKIN:

Ugh, a note.

(Therron grunts)

PUNKIN: "Blocking

your path to the summit

is this overhanging cliff."

- (Jeannie grunts)

- NICK: Wow.



"In order to pass,

you must defy gravity

by ascending straight

to the top."

THERRON: We can only

get to our next checkpoint

by going up this cliff.

Where is the elevator?

Where's the escalator?

So who's going first?

- I would

- Y'all two, then me and Beck?

- Okay, that works.

- That work?

JEANNIE:

I don't mind going last.

I'd like to watch a little more.

- PUNKIN: Okay.

- Seems complicated.

But I don't mind.

I want to do it by myself.

I didn't want

to hold anybody back.

I'm the oldest, they're younger.

And I just needed

to do this by myself.

THERRON:

We got this. Okay.

Ready?

- THERRON: Yeah.

- Let's try it.

- BECKYLEE: Stand up, Therron, and move it up.

- NICK: Nice, Therron.

- PUNKIN: How are you doing that?

- BECKYLEE: There you go.

THERRON:

I don't know.

JEANNIE:

You got it!

THERRON:

So I go

step, move the orange,

sit, move the grey.

BECKYLEE:

There you go, Punkin.

NICK: Nice, Therron.

One after the other, man.

Ooh, this hurting my arms,

though, baby.

(grunts)

(panting)

BECKYLEE:

Nice job, T.

(grunting)

- THERRON: How you going?

- PUNKIN: This is tougher than

it looks.

Look, Therron,

it's a rainbow on the rocks.

- THERRON: My calling card.

- (chuckles)

THERRON:

It's really hard to decide

who I would take to a final two

because I've been working

with Nick and Beckylee,

but over the last couple days,

you know, me and Punkin

have gotten really close,

and I think there's just

something about having

two q*eer Black people

be at the final.

How you going?

- Trying.

- (grunts)

THERRON: Me and Punkin's

connection just started recently,

but she's a straight sh**ter,

and she says her word

is her word.

And I know that if she had

the option to take me,

she would.

BECKYLEE:

keep going, Therron.

- Almost there.

- (panting)

NICK: Nice, T. You're

right there, man.

(Therron grunts)

We made it up to the top, baby.

(Punkin grunts)

JEANNIE:

Come on. You're almost there.

You're right there, P.

(grunting)

(sighs) We made it.

- THERRON: It was hard.

- That was hard.



BECKYLEE:

I don't understand how to

NICK:

Here.

Just-just pull the line.

So, like, watch.

- Oh, okay, I got it. I got it.

- Okay.

(both grunting)

THERRON: So, tonight's

vote. What are you thinking?

PUNKIN: I know right

now Beckylee is on our side.

I feel like you,

- Jeannie and Nick

- (grunts)

would not say my name.

Nick would say my name,

and so would Jeannie.

Me and Nick do have a final two,

so I have to look out for him.

He and I think alike,

and he's a great strategist.

But also, I really want

to work with Punkin.

You know Jeannie would

say your name, girl.

That's what I'm saying, so

THERRON:

Yeah, so we vote for Jeannie.

PUNKIN:

You think Jeannie or Nick?

At the end of the day,

I want to be at the top two.

(straining, panting)

- How you doing?

- This is hard.

Yeah. Try to get

a good step up, Beck.

I'm all twisted.

(panting)

Me, too.

(Beckylee groans)

I'm supposed to be

working with Nick.

I feel like he trusts me.

But the problem is,

I have been feeding Nick

a load of crap for two days.

Punkin.

- She should be next.

- BECKYLEE: I'm open to it.

Oh, Lord.

NICK:

Come on, man.

BECKYLEE:

Nick was gunning for Punkin,

Punkin's gunning for Nick,

and I want

to go to the summit

with Punkin,

not Nick.

(sighs):

Okay. I'm all twisted.

- Me, too.

- BECKYLEE: Me and Nick worked together

to get a lot of big names

out of the game.

So I realized

he's a dangerous player,

and I have a very real chance

NICK:

Nice, Beck.

to make a huge move

and get him out.

Holy moly.

So I need him to trust me

until we get to the vote.

- That was hard as hell.

- Yeah, that was

a lot harder than

I thought it was gonna be.



- Hey, Jeannie.

- Yeah?

If you have trouble

moving your bottom hand,

grab the black rope

and pull it to your bottom hand.

JEANNIE:

Okay.

From day one,

Nick has been

so supportive of me.

Oh, my God, this looks so hard.

So now I feel like

there's pressure now.

(straining)

(quietly):

Nice and tight.

I feel like not only do I want

to accomplish my dreams,

but I want his dreams

to come true.

It'll take me a while,

but I'll get up there,

And I'm like, you know what?

(straining)

I feel like

his path and my path crossed,

and we need to make this summit

together.

(grunting, straining)

I can't believe I did it.

- (whoops) Let's go, Jeannie!

- Come on, Jeannie!

(Punkin whoops)

BECKYLEE:

Be careful.

JEANNIE:

Damn, it's You keep sliding.

(Beckylee groans)

If you want to go ahead of me

- No, you got it.

- I feel bad.

- Okay.

- Take bigger steps if you can.

THERRON: Or step in the

steps Nick's already made.

JEANNIE:

Okay.

- NICK: Get them heels in, Jeannie.

- JEANNIE: Yeah.

NICK: I'm not letting

Jeannie not make it

up the mountain.

That's not an option for me.

- THERRON: This is straight up.

- JEANNIE: Whoa.

NICK: Jeannie has

been basically my rock

since day one.

I'm riding with Jeannie

and Therron to the end,

and if someone has to go home,

it's gonna have to be Punkin.

(sighs) We got to go up

that whole thing.

PUNKIN:

Yep, it looks like it.



- JEANNIE: Oh, my God.

- (Therron chuckles)

NICK:

What on earth is this?

- Another note? - Yep.

- Yep.

BECKYLEE:

"You've reached 'King's Leap, '

"a deadly crack

in this mighty mountain

"with a terrifying drop below.

"One single rope

and nerves of steel

- are all you have to get across."

- What?

BECKYLEE:

"Face your fear,

"or say goodbye to the summit.

The clock is ticking."

NICK: Everyone knows

I am terrified of heights.

JEANNIE:

Oh, my God.

(both groan)

NICK: I feel like we've

gotten higher and higher,

and the obstacles keep getting

harder and harder.

We've had at least

two ropes, a bridge,

stepping stone,

something on every obstacle.

Now I look across,

and I see

the highest one of

the adventure,

and there's one rope

from a mountain peak

to a mountain peak.

I have no idea what they're

expecting me to do here.

(echoing groan)

(wind whistling)



(grunts) Geez.

(sighs)

I'm not super confident

about this.

I don't even know

where to grab on

when I get over

to cross to the other rock.

So I've no idea

what I'm about to do.

I'm not looking forward

to this one.

You got this, Nick!

All right, let's do this thing.

(grunts)

(breathing heavily)

There you go.

NICK: When I get too worried,

I feel like I'll get paralyzed.

So I'm trying not

to think about it too much.

I'm trying to just see the rope,

and I'm gonna do everything

that I can not to look down.

(breathing heavily)

- (bleep)

- Your arms okay?

NICK: I cannot show

that I'm struggling.

If I fail this obstacle,

there's gonna be

a target on my back.

- Am I halfway?

- THERRON: Yes.

PUNKIN:

Yeah, more than halfway.

(groans, screams)

- No.

- (groaning)

(bleep) - THERRON:

Nick, kick your other foot up.

PUNKIN:

There you go.

Yo, I need

some freaking help, man.

(Nick groaning)

You just got to lean back

and go.

Nick, you can do this!

(groaning)

I can't get my arms up, y'all.

I can't. I can't.

What am I doing out here, man?

What am I doing out here, man?

I can't, I can't.

- (groans) No, no.

- PUNKIN and THERRON: Nick!

(cries out)

(wind whistling)

THERRON:

Nick, you can do this!

(groaning)

I can't get my arms up, y'all.

I can't, I can't,

I can't. I can't.

- (groans) No. No.

- PUNKIN: Nick!

(cries out)

(wind whistles)



MANU:

On King's Leap,

any fall requires a reset

- back to the starting cliff

- (groans)

where Nick must

confront his fears

- all over again.

- (sighs)

NICK:

Self-doubt set in,

and I was sitting there,

terrified.

I don't know

how I'm about to get across.

Man, I can barely feel my hands.

JEANNIE: Come on, Nick.

You're a big inspiration for me.

Nick is having some self-doubt.

I look up to Nick,

so it really hit home to me.

Out here,

if you don't dig deep,

you'll regret it.

- (Nick groans)

- JEANNIE: Come on, Nick!

NICK:

I can't help but feel like

this reminds me of

college baseball.

My dream was

to make it to the pros.

After college, I ended up

not getting a shot to play.

- (Nick grunts)

- Come on, Nick. You got this.

- (grunting)

- THERRON: Come on.

(groans) (bleep)

NICK:

I always came up just short,

and, uh, you know,

that was just the end.

I just wasn't good enough.

The past taught me,

really, to never give up.

When your back's

against the wall,

you still have

to keep moving forward.

(shouts)

I didn't come this far

to come up short.

(grunting)

(bleep)

THERRON:

You literally are, like,

four scoots away.

- Final stretch.

- (groans)

(grunting)

This is crazy.

He's a college baseball player.

How am I gonna do this?

I work at Trader Joe's.

(grunting continues)

Man, that was the hardest thing

I've ever done.

THERRON:

This is really high.

This is probably

the hardest thing we've done.

I'm literally terrified

right now.

(screams)

NICK:

Only think about the rope.

Okay.

Facing your fear of heights

every single day is hard.

It does not get easier.

But what matters is

that I'm showing people

that if you put your mind to it,

you can do it.

PUNKIN:

There you go.

NICK:

Nice, T.

THERRON:

You got this, Therron.

NICK: We'll let you

know when you're close.

You got this! (screams)

Almost there.

Almost there. Almost there.

Almost there. Almost there.

(panting)

- PUNKIN: Almost there, Therron.

- NICK: You're almost there.

NICK:

Nice, Therron!

Once again,

I conquered my (bleep) fear.

It's been heights after

heights after heights,

and I think that I'm ready

to conquer this mountain.

Y'all got this!

Don't look down!

Come on, Jeannie!

(squawking)

(bleep) Oh, (bleep).

NICK:

You got it, Jeannie.

- THERRON: Let's go, Jeannie!

- NICK: Come on, Jeannie!

JEANNIE:

My adrenaline is going.

My head hurts,

my heart's racing.

I feel sick to my stomach,

and I'm just tired

of feeling like this.

I'm so scared!

- NICK: No.

- THERRON: Don't be scared. You're good.

Please, guys, root me on.

- I need to hear your voice!

- THERRON: You got this, Jeannie!

- NICK: You got it, Jeannie.

- BECKYLEE: Come on, Jeannie.

(screaming)

- Keep screaming if that's what you need. Yes.

- (screaming)

NICK: You're moving

really well, Jeannie.

(yelling)

NICK: Nice, Jeannie.

Right there. All the way.

- Get as close to the wall.

- BECKYLEE: Nice job.

You literally look

like a superhero right now.

(panting)

JEANNIE: For me, the

faster I moved, the better.

I didn't want to hang out

in that rope too long

'cause I knew

I would psych myself out.

I don't think

I've ever experienced

fear like that ever before.

- You made it.

- JEANNIE: Yeah.

- Better than me.

- Yeah.

- Thank you.

- NICK: It was the toughest one.

(wind whistling)

This is this is terrifying.

I feel a little nauseous.

- This is disgusting.

- THERRON: Don't look down

before you go. That

I can tell you that.

I mean, the-the adrenaline

is addicting, but

you can only push

your body so much.

I'm nauseated.

Makes you want to throw up.

I hate this. I hate this.

I hate this.

Holy moly. Holy moly.

PUNKIN:

All right, Beckylee!

BECKYLEE:

Oh, wow.

- PUNKIN: There you go.

- BECKYLEE: Oh, man.

- NICK: You got it.

- PUNKIN: You got it.

THERRON:

You can do it.

THERRON: Just gain your

strength 'cause you do not

- want to start

- BECKYLEE: I can't do it.

- THERRON: Yes, you can.

- PUNKIN: Halfway.

THERRON:

Halfway.

- Only halfway?

- THERRON: You got to keep going.

- (panting, groaning)

- JEANNIE: Come on, Beckylee!

- You're, like, ten pulls.

- PUNKIN: There you go.

- JEANNIE: Come on!

- THERRON: Yes!

- You only have, like You're so close.

- BECKYLEE: Okay.

PUNKIN: You're right there,

Beckylee. Don't give up.

- There you go.

- Okay.

- You're right there. Beckylee.

- JEANNIE: Come on, Beckylee!

PUNKIN:

Come on, keep pushing.

THERRON: You're at the

end, so you should be good.

Okay.

Happy to be on stable land.

It was tough.

That was the toughest yet.

(sighs)

PUNKIN:

The last push.

I can do it.

Everybody's made it across, so,

I want to make it across

in one shot.

I want to show

that I'm as strong as Nick.

Let's go, Punkin!

- BECKYLEE: Good job.

- NICK: Nice, P!

Just like that.

PUNKIN: I got to call on

God, I got to call on my mom,

I got to call on my wife,

my sisters, to get me across.

My family has supported me

since day one.

They are always in my corner,

rooting me on.

My wife is like, "Never give up.

Just keep fighting."

- Tamika, Olivia.

- THERRON: Good job, Punkin.

Mary, Mommy, Tamika.

I met my wife in the Air Force.

We have been together

for seven years.

Me and my wife are ready

to start a family.

We want to do IVF,

to experience pregnancy,

and to have my mom

have grandchildren.

Mary, Mommy, Tamika.

Just to have a little baby

to hold.

Ah. I just can't wait.

- Mary, Mommy

- NICK: Yeah.

- THERRON: Good job, Punkin.

- NICK: You are flying, P.

- BECKYLEE: Nice job.

- JEANNIE: You got this, girl.

PUNKIN:

I want it so bad,

and now, I'm just gonna do

whatever it takes

to make sure that happens

and to reach the summit.

NICK:

Let's rock and roll.

PUNKIN:

Let's do it.

PUNKIN:

I cannot feel my feet.

JEANNIE:

My toes are frozen.

- PUNKIN: Same.

- JEANNIE: All of 'em.

JEANNIE:

Tonight is our last night

on the mountain.

This is the last chance

to vote somebody off.

I need to hold my own,

keep up with everybody

and just make it there.

- NICK: Damn, this is steep.

- JEANNIE: Just keep going.

Don't look back.

MANU:

It has been a hard-fought day,

conquering one of

the most treacherous areas

on the mountain.

But the battle isn't over yet.

And no one's position

in this game is promised.

JEANNIE:

You guys hear something?

- NICK: Yeah.

- PUNKIN: It's the mountain's keeper.

- NICK: Yeah.

- JEANNIE: Are you serious?

JEANNIE:

Oh, no.

Here we go.

Here comes trouble!

BECKLYEE: I just don't trust

Nick. I have to get that bag.

It can't be Nick, because

last time, we saw, like,

this huge power from it.

- "Whoever touched this bag first has the sole power"

- (gasping)

"to eliminate someone

immediately, sending them

- and their money off the mountain."

- DUSTY and JEANNIE: Oh.

NICK:

Therron had

the sole power

to eliminate somebody,

so I need to make sure

I get to that bag.

PUNKIN:

Go, Beckylee!

(contestants screaming)

(grunting)

(wind whistling)

PUNKIN:

Go, Beckylee!

(grunting)

No. No shot.

JEANNIE:

Let's get out of this snow.

NICK:

Interesting little race, there.

Everyone definitely noticed

Becky full

sending that bag, which,

either she wants me out,

or she does not trust me

to keep her in this game.

Either way,

they're both scary for me.

So, Becky,

I think you just might have put

a little target on your back.

- It's not easy riding this out.

- PUNKIN: It's very hard.

BECKYLEE:

I am, like, trying not to

freak out right now

because I'm supposed

to be working with Nick, right?

I should have no problem

with Nick getting that bag

if I'm truly working with him.

So he's probably thinking,

"Why does she not want me

to have this bag?"

I'm kicking myself mentally.

Did I screw up my entire game

on this one fricking bag drop?

"The closer you get,

the harder it gets.

"In this bag, you will find

all the inspiration

"you need to give you strength

to reach the summit.

The mountain's keeper."

JEANNIE:

Wow. I need the strength.

(laughter)

- Come on!

- What's in the bag, Nick?

PUNKIN:

Oh, my gosh.

- Oh!

- JEANNIE: Oh, my God. There's a video.

- NICK: No way.

- JEANNIE: Oh, my God!

THERRON:

Watching Nick open it, realizing

that we're gonna get

video messages

from our loved ones it will be

nice to take a break

and actually just hear something

from someone I know I can trust.

- Oh, this is Mama with this wig on.

- (laughter)

THERRON'S MOTHER: Son, I

just want to say that I love you,

and I miss you,

and I am super proud of you.

I knew when you were little

that you was different

and that you would make

a difference in this world.

PUNKIN:

Oh.

Have fun. I love you.

Aw. I'm so glad

I got to see your mom.

THERRON: Hearing my

mom's words of encouragement

really was like

that final push I need.

Honestly, nothing's gonna

stop me from winning this game.

- Oh, my gosh.

- Is that your dad?

Hey, Beckylee.

It's your father here.

I don't know what advice

to give you,

but what I do know is

your determination

and your will, and I know you

got it in you to take this home.

Go, Gators. And your family

loves you. I love you.

- JEANNIE: Aw.

- Miss you. Can't wait to see you.

- JEANNIE: He's so nice.

- Aw.

BECKYLEE: I think I

have a type A personality.

I hate things

that are out of my control,

both in this game

and outside of the game.

Like, it's my Achilles' heel.

Aw. Beckylee.

BECKYLEE:

But hearing from my dad

just kind of gives me

more faith in myself

that, like, even in moments

where I feel dejected

kind of like now

I know I have to keep trying.

PUNKIN:

It's my mom.

JEANNIE:

Ah, let's see!

PUNKIN'S MOM: I just

wanted to tell you I love you.

- Take your mind to a peaceful place.

- JEANNIE: Aw.

Focus on you.

Know that we're here

praying for you.

JEANNIE:

Oh.

PUNKIN:

I love my mom

and my family so much.

And they gave me, honestly,

the inspiration

and the motivation I need.

- Who's this?

- Who's it?

- That's my parents.

- Aw.

- JEANNIE: No way!

- And Caroline.

Nick, babe, hey.

I know you're probably

in the grind of it. Just know

that I love you so much.

Um, it's always me and you,

no matter what.

And I know you got this. You

don't need me to tell you that.

NICK:

After watching

the video, it just

really put in perspective,

I am here to come home

with the money.

Baseball didn't work out for me,

but I love my life

outside of this game.

The people in that video are

the people I care about most.

And I have to do

what's best for them,

which means

I got to win this money

and get my girlfriend

an engagement ring.

Oh, my God. There's my

there's my kids!

Oh, my little family! Ah!

Mom, I can't believe

you're in New Zealand right now.

I know. I love you.

Well, hon, I don't know

anybody else

that can do a better job

at this game than you.

DAUGHTER:

You put aside your dreams

to take care of us, so now

it's your time to finally shine.

JEANNIE:

This just gave me

the fight, the motivation.

Oh, I just feel like I got this!

Oh!

Mwah. Mwah. Mwah.

It was so special

seeing everyone else's family.

You become so close

from being out here

for all these days.

But good people go home

sometimes, and it stinks.

But it's a game, and I have to

do what it's gonna take to win.

PUNKIN:

All right, let's do it.

BECKYLEE:

Straight up.

(Beckylee groans)

BECKYLEE:

Where even is camp?

Checkpoint!

- PUNKIN: Checkpoint!

- JEANNIE: Ah!

- I love you, checkpoint.

- (Punkin sighs)

- JEANNIE: Oh, God.

- PUNKIN: If I never do it again,

it'll be too soon.

THERRON:

Tonight is our last vote.

I am stuck

between two alliances,

and I am in the middle.

I have no clue

what's gonna happen.

PUNKIN: Aren't y'all so glad,

like, we actually

made the checkpoint

with all the ground

that we had to make up today?

- I wasn't sure if we were gonna make it today.

- I know.

- Yeah. - NICK: And we had to.

- We had to.

JEANNIE:

Oh, no. Guess who's here.

PUNKIN:

Hello!

- Oh, you guys look dug in.

- Yeah.

Trying to stay warm.

It's cold up here.

Well, the last time I saw you,

there was a storm approaching.

- There was. - Yeah.

- Yup. Yup.

We had to be evacuated.

(Manu groans)

Well, this mountain

doesn't joke around.

ALL:

No.

MANU: The mountain keeper

visited for a bag drop.

Tell me what happened.

Actually, it was a happy moment.

We got, um, videos from home.

JEANNIE:

I don't know about you guys,

but for me, those videos

gave me new life, really.

- Yeah. - I agree.

- JEANNIE: I feel like

- Jeannie on day one.

- (laughter)

You know,

I hear from each of you,

after receiving these videos,

that the reason why you're here

is really sinking in.

- Yeah. Yeah.

- PUNKIN: Yeah.

MANU: This is your

last checkpoint camp.

But we're still gonna have

a vote tonight.

You're gonna get the chance

to steal someone's money.

Mm-hmm.

MANU:

Five of you sit here right now,

and one of you

will leave this mountain.

- Oh, Lord.

- Oh, my God.

MANU:

Think about it.

I'll be back.

- (sighs)

- JEANNIE: Tonight,

I really have to rely

on the people

that I trust in this game.

I do feel safe,

but you never know

what could happen.

This game has so many twists

and turns.

So I have to talk to

my top two Nick and Therron

and see what they're thinking

and then take it from there.

(wind whistling)

(wind whistling)

NICK:

All right.

All right. Let's do it.

NICK:

We only have five people.

We know

there's no more checkpoints.

I've been with Therron

and Jeannie since day one,

so if someone has to go home,

it's gonna have to be Punkin.

Oh, God.

Yeah.

- You? Okay.

- I feel fine.

BECKYLEE: I'm supposed

to be working with Nick, right?

So I have to tell him

to vote for Punkin.

- If I need to, I will.

- Okay.

You don't want to?

Okay.

But

I don't think

he has a loyal bone in his body.

I think he will do whatever

it takes to get to the top,

and I think he could flip

the script at any second,

and that could be on me.

I have a final three

with Punkin and Therron.

I believe

that's a genuine final three.

So tonight

has to be Nick.

THERRON:

Hello, Miss Lee.

- What's the plan, Stan?

- Do you mind if I talk to you?

THERRON:

Yeah.

What?

- I just don't want to vote out Nick.

- Please.

Please, Therron.

'Cause if that doesn't happen,

he'll g*n for Punkin tomorrow

anyway. You know what I mean?

THERRON:

Me, Punkin

and Beckylee

have had an alliance

for a while now.

But if I decide to go

with Punkin and Beckylee,

that means

I have to not work with Nick,

who I've been working with

as well.

I promise you

I will get you to the summit,

- and you will get there.

- Okay.

THERRON: I don't know who's

gonna go home. I have no clue.

It's really hard.

Nicholas?

Ooh.

It's messed up.

Mm.

Therron has already let me know

that I am Beckylee's target

because she does not trust me.

So, if I can convince Punkin

that Beckylee

is going after her,

then I'll be packing

Beckylee's bag for her.

Wow.

What?!

Beckylee's been my girl,

but Nick told me that

she was coming for me,

she wanted to say my name.

And that definitely

puts a little bit

of suspicion in my mind,

because why would you do that?

- BECKYLEE: Punkin, you want to talk?

- Yeah.

PUNKIN:

You don't say my name.

I would never say

Beckylee's name.

Nick said that you told him.

It was like, "Oh, yeah,

it's time to get Punkin out."

Yeah.

Yeah.

BECKYLEE:

My plan

- has been us up there.

- Right.

I swear on my life.

When I ran for that bag,

I ran to protect you.

Yeah, I mean, I believe that.

I believe that.

I'm definitely starting to

side-eye Beckylee a little bit

and wonder

if she's being truthful to me,

because once a name is said,

it catches like wildfire,

and so,

that's messing up my game

and putting the possibility

for me to go home.

I swear on my life,

on my dad's life,

- I'm so solid with you.

- Okay.

I want Nick out tonight,

and I'll do whatever it takes

to get that to happen.

Okay.

BECKYLEE: I can just see it

in her eyes. Something feels off.

Like, she seemed

to not trust me.

And it's clear that Nick

decided to turn on me.

(Nick sighs)

I wasn't gunning for you.

It sucks.

Trust me.

One of us is gonna go.

It ain't gonna be your boy.

Becky, you're next.

Okay, guys,

it's time to make the vote.

Jeannie, can I talk to you?

- JEANNIE: Yeah.

- BECKYLEE: Do you trust me?

JEANNIE:

Yes. Yes. Okay.

I swear to God

I will get you to the summit.

- (laughing)

- No. No. Can you listen to me?

I'm really scared, Jeannie.

- Please. I swear to God. Please, Jeannie. Please.

- MANU: Jeannie?

MANU:

Beckylee?

- It's time to make the vote.

- You will? Thank you so much.

- Love you. Thank you.

- Wait. I Listen.

I know. Please. Please, Jeannie.

Please, Jeannie. Please, please.

BECKYLEE:

I need Jeannie to wake up.

And I hope she realizes that

Nick doesn't care

if she gets to the top.

But now

I can feel the panic setting in.

This very well could be the end

for me.

MANU:

Okay, guys.

(wind whistling)

(wind whistling)

MANU:

Okay, guys,

it's time to make the vote.

- Jeannie? Beckylee?

- Please, Jeannie. Please.

BECKYLEE:

Please. Please.

I'm begging you.

JEANNIE: This is the

worst position possible.

Beckylee she needed

that reassurance from me

not to vote her off.

I don't know what to do.

This is t*rture.

All right, so I know

that this is gonna be one

of the most difficult votes

we've made on this mountain,

being so close to the summit.

You guys have been

through this before.

Is there anything different

tonight?

I think the hard part

about right now is

the smaller the group gets,

the easier it is to fact-check.

- Mm-hmm. Yeah.

- THERRON: And it's really hard to figure out

who is telling you the truth.

MANU:

Beckylee,

how are you feeling about trust?

I'm disappointed

in where I feel right now.

I have people that I trust

wholeheartedly,

and I've never questioned.

Nick, you're not one of them.

NICK:

Hmm.

I never planned

to bring Nick to the top.

I think that's pretty evident.

- Yes, it is.

- Yup.

BECKYLEE:

And I was willing to

make you feel comfortable

for a long time

in order to protect

those that I do trust

and those

that I do want at the top.

So, s you're lying

to somebody.

I'm lying to you.

NICK: Not a surprise.

Who's really your ally?

- 'Cause you're I think

- I trusted Punkin more than you.

NICK: I think you've told

everyone you're their ally, though.

That's the problem.

You're Dennis 2.0.

- Everyone is your ally, like

- (Beckylee laughs)

- Nick, Nick, Nick.

- All you're doing right now

- You're just

- you're trying to overplay the game,

and I think I think

it's gonna backfire on you.

That's all I'm saying.

Okay, everybody's had

their thing to say, okay?

- Yeah.

- There's obviously some tension in the group.

Tomorrow,

you need four people together

who can work their way

toward the summit.

If you don't reach it,

you don't get the money,

you don't get the prize.

So, who are those four people

going to be?

Let's have some names.

I'll nominate Nick.

I'll nominate Beck.

No other names?

So let's make the vote.

THERRON:

I don't know what to do.

Put your hands up

if your vote is for Nick.

BECKYLEE:

Please.

Are you kidding me?

- Beckylee, I just

- I just, I-I

- I've never questioned you, Punkin.

- I never questioned you, either,

but Beckylee,

there's just so many things

He has been throwing your name

in the mud for three days.

Punkin, h-he (stammers)

he seriously has.

He will not take you. If he gets

a second to vote you out,

he will, and I promise you that.

NICK: You saw who she'll

vote out anybody at any time

- Punkin no, I will not.

- to get herself to the top.

PUNKIN: Beckylee, I-I've

been struggling with this.

I have to do what's best

for my game, Beckylee.

- And I would have taken you to the top, Punkin.

- But you've been lying to me.

Honesty: you mean what you say,

you say what you mean.

Don't lie to me. (sniffles)

And I hate this,

because I always thought

it was me and you,

but I just can't do that.

And I have to do what's best

for me right now in this moment.

It was always

me and you, Punkin.

MANU: Okay, we've

got one vote for Nick.

Put your hand up

if you want to vote Beckylee

off the mountain.

That's four votes, Beckylee.

Your climb to the summit

ends here.

I was loyal.

And unfortunately,

you will see that.

And I maybe you'll

regret that tomorrow.

Do not trust him.

Jeannie, he is not taking you

to the top.

I hope that says a lot.

- I really do.

- He's not taking you to the top.

Who am I taking to the top?

Therron, that's it.

He doesn't care about you two.

You'll see that.

Beckylee, grab your money,

bring it back to the group,

say your goodbyes.

BECKYLEE:

I feel true betrayal

from Punkin and Therron.

Like, I-I feel shell-shocked

that Punkin

would flip on me like that,

for someone who has

ran her name through the mud.

You know, Jeannie doesn't know

what's going on, so whatever,

I can't blame her, but

Getting to day 13 and not seeing

the top of the summit,

it-it like, you almost

would rather go home

at, like, day ten.

Day 13 is just evil.

THERRON: I know you're

mad, but I would like to hug you.

BECKYLEE:

I don't want any hugs.

THERRON:

Okay.

- Can I

- BECKYLEE: I genuinely love you both.

Can I give you a hug?

BECKYLEE: The people

that I had worked so hard

to build these

relationships with,

I had faith

that they would have my back.

But I think the mountain

allowed me to prove

that when my back

is against the wall,

I can't count on anyone

except myself.

I wish I didn't feel this way,

but I feel so bitter.

Like, if it was up to me,

none of them

would be getting anything.

I'm not rooting for any of them.

You are the final four.

This mountain has a way

of protecting the summit.

It's going to push you

to your limits.

Those of you who do make it

to the summit

will share not only in success,

but in $750,000 prize money.

- Get some sleep

- PUNKIN: Thank you.

and prepare yourselves

for the final push

to the summit.

- Thank you.

- Thank you.

The vote was very emotional

for me.

I felt like I had

an amazing bond with Beckylee,

but Nick told me

Beckylee was saying my name,

and because of that, I lost

trust in her and her word.

And so, I just really had

to make the tough decision

to vote her out.

I'll share $700K with y'all

any day of the week.

I'm feeling incredible

right now.

Could not be happier

to steal Beckylee's money.

Everyone's rocking

almost $200k right now.

We got almost $750K

sitting there right now at camp.

This is the major leagues

for me tomorrow.

JEANNIE:

Just so you know,

I always have your back, okay?

I've never been more focused,

and this is my time.

MANU: Next time

on The Summit finale

NICK:

Day 14.

JEANNIE:

This is it, guys.

The summit.

MANU: the finish line

is in sight

(Therron shouts)

- JEANNIE: I keep falling through!

- Yeah, it's just deep.

NICK:

My foot's slipping, too.

- PUNKIN: We just got to push, y'all.

- (grunts)

MANU: but the mountain's

keeper has one final test.

What is this?

JEANNIE:

What the hell?

THERRON: We don't have

time to go down and back up.

JEANNIE:

What are we gonna do?

I don't know.

- What?

- JEANNIE: Oh, my God.

"Between you and the summit

is an impassable chasm.

(Therron screams)

(laughs):

What is happening?

MANU: And what the

final four don't yet know

is that the eliminated

have returned

for retribution.

This group is gonna have

the power

to decide how much cash

the people who reach the summit

will take home.

- Wow.

- DENNIS: The sweetest,

most bitter reward is revenge.

You don't got to lie

to all of us.

AMY:

Was your strategy

to deceive all of us

and thinking you had

all of us until you didn't?

You lied to everybody.

MANU:

The vanquished will decide

who will be crowned

champion of the summit.

This is the moment

when your power

becomes meaningful.

It's not just about winning.

It's how you do it.

BECKYLEE:

One last chance to make

my mark on the game.

JEANNIE:

Oh, my God.
