01x10 - Betrayal At The House On The Hill

Post by bunniefuu »

[JOEY] Previously on Escape the Night.

Lele is electrocuted and k*lled in a dark challenge.

We free another owner

and learn Arthur is the one who is in

league with the evil of the house.

[OLI] Run! Run! Go!

[ARTHUR] I was a confidence man and

I played games with peoples lives.

And of all the games I played,

this one was my favorite.

Happy Anniversary, my love.

(wailing)

But after playing it so many times,

I had grown tired of it.

I wanted more.

Then the devil came calling.

(music playing)

I was going to convince the evil within this house

that I was its servant.

When in reality, it was going to be working for me.

[ARTHUR] I needed the artifacts

and the previous owner's gone so you have this house.

[JOEY] You played us. What is that?

[ARTHUR] It's a ritual.

[OLI] We did the ritual!

[ARTHUR] You did the wrong one.

[ARTHUR] Goodnight.

[OLI] Joey, no!

(screaming)

(dramatic sounds)

Guys?

Oli and Eva are also tied up to these posts

and there's this crazy lunatic man in the corner.

[EVA] Oli, Oli, Oli?

[OLI] Oh my gosh!

[OLI] Oh my God!

Guys we're, we're chained.

(screaming)

[JOEY] Look, look, look I have a box. I have a box.

[LUNATIC] All dressed up and nowhere to go!

[EVA] Joey!

[EVA] Joey, what is that, what is that next to you?

[EVA] See, it's like poker.

[LUNATIC] Welcome to my house!

[OLI] Joey, get it. Open the box.

[EVA] Try.

[JOEY] It doesn't fit, it doesn't fit.

[EVA] Give it to Oli then.

[EVA] Give it to Oli.

[OLI] Give it to me, give it to me.

[OLI] Oh no! (screaming)

[LUNATIC] (mock screaming)

[OLI] Oh, shut up!

[OLI] I can't get it!

[EVA] Guys, mine worked! Mine worked.

Inside is a key, she unlocks

one of the shackles around her wrist

and then she spots another key which

opens another one of our boxes.

So it's, like this big teamwork thing where we have to push

pokers back and forth to find the ones that works for us.

[OLI] Guys it doesn't work!

[OLI] It doesn't work. Don't leave me, please don't leave me!

[JOEY] There's a box there too.

[OLI] Get the key! Get me out!

[EVA] Joey, grab, grab the key from him!

[LUNATIC] (Mocking) Joey, get away from me.

[OLI] Get me out, get me out.

[OLI] Yes!

[LUNATIC] No, no, no.

[EVA] Wait.

[JOEY] What is this?

[OLI] Yes.

[JOEY] Open it.

[OLI] What's inside? What's inside?

Inside is this pocket watch and also this note

that says we've been injected by this serum.

[EVA] "By the time the sun rises at 6am,

you will be as complacent as well trained animals,

and ready to join the house staff."

This is from the butler!

[JOEY] We've...it's 5:30.

[OLI] Oh my God.

[JOEY] We have half an hour. Let's go.

[OLI] Let's go, we need to go.

[JOEY] Come on.

[LUNATIC] Stay.

Go.

[EVA] We walk into this room and

we realize that we are in Arthur's bedroom.

There's files everywhere,

it seems like the place where someone crazy would live.

The only thing it's missing is, like, that board on the

wall with all of our photos and like red sharpies.

[EVA] Guys, I found a key.

[JOEY] Wait, what? You found a key?

[EVA] On top of here.

Wait, wait, wait, I found something. I found something.

This is it.

[JOEY] What is it?

[OLI] Look.

[JOEY] Oh.

[OLI] There's the file.

[EVA] That's it.

[JOEY] Our fingerprints.

[OLI] "Brother, you have humiliated me,

betrayed me, enchained me in a dark corner of your new estate.

You brought me here to help you clean things up,

but really you needed to s*ab me in the back

to show the wicked presence your loyalty.

Someday the key to my cell will be found,

and when that day comes I will repay this betrayal with blood.

I know you've hidden it behind a trail of gems

the first of which lurks beneath

the surface of a reflecting pool."

What is this?

Apparently, Arthur has a brother

who is locked up and chained in the house somewhere,

who was betrayed, he wants to k*ll Arthur.

[OLI] "Beneath the surface of a reflecting pool."

[EVA] We have to go to the pool.

[JOEY] Okay, how do we get out of here?

Let's take this with us.

[EVA] This key has to belong to something.

[JOEY] This door, right here.

[OLI] This door.

[EVA] Okay.

[OLI] You got it?

[JOEY] Yeah.

[EVA] Guys, my nail broke.

(alarm ringing)

[JOEY] This way, this way.

We get outside and we quickly realize

that Marvin, Sarah and Arthur are after us,

and we need to stay hidden from them at all cost.

[ARTHUR] I don't know how they got out.

[ARTHUR] Sarah, you take the house.

[SARAH] Okay.

[ARTHUR] Marvin, you check the side,

if you find them, gut them where they stand.

This game is over.

Our first instinct is to go to the pool.

This is not easy though, because we have three

people hunting all through out the house

and we can't be seen.

[JOEY] He's coming, he's coming.

[JOEY] This way, this way.

[JOEY] This way.

[JOEY] Eva, this way. Come on.

They're all chasing after us, searching for us.

This is horrible, I hate being chased.

This is , like, one of my worst fears.

[JOEY] 1, 2, 3, go!

We get over to the pool and realize

that there is no gems there.

Then we realize the fountain in the front yard.

[EVA] The fountain?

[JOEY] Yeah, this way.

[JOEY] Come this way.

Eva.

[JOEY] Eva? Eva?

[JOEY] Where's Eva?

[JOEY] Eva?

[JOEY] Get inside.

[JOEY] Close the door.

I have to hide in this bush next to the pool house.

I'm thinking he's definitely

going to see me. I am so scared at this point.

[JOEY] Eva, come on. Get down here.

[JOEY] Hurry. [EVA] Where are you?

[JOEY] What are you doing?

[JOEY] Marvin's over here, Marvin's over here.

[JOEY] We're gonna try...

[JOEY] He's going in there. Okay.

[JOEY] Ready...1,2,3.

Finally we duck behind the fountain and we look in

and see that there's diamonds inside of it.

[JOEY] There's a gem in the water.

[Oli] There's a German?

[JOEY] Yeah, no gem!

[OLI] Oh, a gem.

And then I notice that there's a chest

[JOEY] Look.

right next to the fountain.

[JOEY] "Under the water are three invisible stones,

place them on my crown and I will repay you tenfold."

[JOEY] Let's look for something that can help grab it.

[JOEY] There's a rake, a rake.

[EVA] I'm nervous, I'm nervous.

[SARAH] I found them!

[OLI] Joey, you're caught, she's in the window.

[JOEY] Who?

[SARAH] Arthur?

So next we take the three diamonds,

we put them on the chest

and it pops open.

[SARAH] They were there!

[MARVIN] Where?

[SARAH] Over there!

[MARVIN] Where?

[SARAH] They were just there.

[JOEY] "The spirits will speak words

to help you restore my evil eyes,

so I might guard the house with my wings."

[JOEY] Wings. Is there, like, a statue?

[JOEY] A statue with wings.

[EVA] There's that, with wings, that guards the house.

[JOEY] The gargoyle!

We realize we need to get back inside,

which we know Sarah's in there, lurking and looking for us.

[EVA] Watch for Sarah.

[JOEY] Okay.

[MARVIN] I see them in the front!

[JOEY] Get in, get in.

[MARVIN] I think they went in the house.

[JOEY] Where's Oli?

[EVA] I don't know. I see Mavin, I see Marvin.

[JOEY] I don't know where he is.

[EVA] I see Marvin.

[JOEY] He didn't see us. Get down.

[ARTHUR] Right there, I found them!

I thought I was, like, this strong

big game hunter

not afraid of anything,

and I am so scared.

I don't think I've ever been more scared.

[JOEY] Oli, get inside!

[JOEY] What is he doing?

[JOEY] Oli?

[JOEY] Get over here.

[EVA] Close the door, Oli.

[JOEY] Alright, listen.

[JOEY] Sarah's upstairs, she needs to come down here.

[OLI] Shhh.

[JOEY] She's coming, she's coming, she's coming.

[JOEY] Get under the table. Get behind the table.

[JOEY] Get behind the table.

My heart is just pounding and I can see Sarah's

footsteps just walking right passed us.

and I just feel like she's going to just look down and see us

but she doesn't.

[MARVIN] Come out, come out and play!

I'm trying to be so quiet but my shoes are really loud.

They're definitely not made for this type of situation.

At all. Unless you want to die.

(Suspenseful music)

[JOEY] Get up here.

[JOEY] Quick, get in here!

[JOEY] Eva!

[JOEY] (Screams)

[SARAH] Open the door!

[SARAH] Open the door!

[SARAH] Where is the other one?

[SARAH] Eva?

[EVA] People are going rogue,

I'm getting left behind.

I am thinking I'm going to be the one to die in this.

(Suspenseful music)

[JOEY] Guys.

[JOEY] Guys? Eva?

[JOEY] Oli?

[JOEY] Come on, come on, come on.

[JOEY] Where's Oli? Oli?

[MARVIN] See them!

We get upstairs, but it's not an easy room to get into.

You can't just open up a door,

you have to take the bottom and pull it up

and I'm thinking, okay, this is going to make a lot of noise.

[MARVIN] They're upstairs.

[JOEY] Why is it the gargoyle?

[JOEY] I'm going to try putting it in.

[JOEY] One. Two. Okay, they're in. Now what?

[JOEY] I don't know!

[JOEY] I don't know what the-

[JOEY] What is it?

[OLI] Guys, hurry up.

[EVA] "I overlook the back of the estate,

and wait to feast on green

A met-

[OLI] Guys, guys, here she comes.

[OLI] Go down.

[EVA] " I over look the back of the estate

and wait to feast on green.

A metal spiral -

[EVA] Did she see us?

[JOEY] No.

[JOEY] Oh my god. Okay.

[EVA] It says, "A metal spiral of pain

will lead you to my table of blood."

The next clue mentions something about a spiral of pain,

and I'm definitely thinking it's the

spiral staircase in the back of the house.

[JOEY] She's gone. Come on.

[JOEY] Okay.

[JOEY] Let's go, let's go, let's go.

[JOEY] We have to be quiet.

[OLI] Go, go, go.

[JOEY] Out the front door.

[SARAH] Ha!

[SARAH] Get him!

[SARAH] Marvin!

[JOEY] Guys!

(Laughing)

Ah, so now I'm outside alone,

so I quickly duck in behind the

fountain again and I'm just waiting!

[ARTHUR] Come on!


[JOEY] Ugh, I'm so freaking upset!

[ARTHUR] This is insane.

You are the worst searchers I've ever hired.

We're trapped and I'm really nervous.

Eva?

Are you still here?

[SARAH] Eva?

You know what, screw it.

I'm going to the freaking staircase by myself.

[ARTHUR] Hello?

[ARTHUR] Oli?

Where are they?

[ARTHUR] Eva, Marvin thinks you're cute.

[MARVIN] Ah, yes.

I'm not sure at this point if Eva and Oli are still alive.

[JOEY] Guys, I'm in the backyard!

Where the hell are you?

[SARAH] Get him!

[ARTHUR] Oh, hey.

[SARAH] Marvin?

[MARVIN] Come out, come out and play!

[SARAH] Marvin.

I know that the window opened in the study,

so I'm thinking, like, we could open

this window. This is how we get out,

but meanwhile Joey was out running outside.

[JOEY] What the hell are you guys doing?

You're such stupid idiots!

I run out there and you guys left me!

[OLI] No, we got cornered by her. [EVA] We tried.

[JOEY] No you didn't try! I've been out here for so long!

[EVA] We need to stick together.

[JOEY] Hurry up! Let's go up the stairs.

[SARAH] Did you hear that?

[JOEY] Oh, gosh.

[EVA] Let's get up before they see us.

[JOEY] What were you guys doing?

[OLI] We got cornered!

[JOEY] Oh sh**t.

[OLI] We got cut off.

[JOEY] Oh my god, what is this?

[JOEY] Do you still have the thing?

[EVA] Yeah.

[JOEY] God, I would have done this by myself

but you guys had it.

[OLI] I'm sorry we got cut off from you.

[JOEY] Oh my god.

[MARVIN] Am I fired?

[ARTHUR] No.

[ARTHUR] No one else can do the pansies like you.

[JOEY] Okay, there we go.

[JOEY] Okay, a key and a map.

[OLI] Wait, look, that's the front door there.

[JOEY] Yeah.

[JOEY] We're going back in the basement.

Wait, let's think about this. Let's actually have a plan,

and stick to it, okay?

[OLI] Okay, okay, okay.

[OLI] Right, so what's the plan?

[JOEY] Wait, let's go over here.

[OLI] What's the plan?

[JOEY] The plan is we're going down here, turning right

[JOEY] And going straight into the-

[OLI] Go, go, go, go.

[JOEY] No, Arthur's right there.

[OLI] He's right there?

[JOEY] Yes.

[OLI] Now go.

We finally find the key and the map to the brother,

and, like, this is it. We just need to get there.

We've made it this far and we've survived

it's just ones more step.

[JOEY] Is this it?

[OLI] This is it.

[JOEY] Sarah could come down here.

[OLI] Be quiet.

[JOEY] Is that it?

[JOEY] Over there.

[EVA] That's, that's it. That's the -

[OLI] Is that it?

[JOEY] The key, the key, the key, the key.

[EVA] I don't have the key.

[JOEY] What do you mean you don't have the key?

[EVA] I was never given the key.

[JOEY] You got the key. You took it.

[EVA] Guys, you never gave me that key.

[OLI] Oh no, I've got the key.

I've got the key, I've got the key.

[EVA] Oh my god.

We open the door and we see Arthur's brother

and he looks weathered and he's tied up

with, like, rope.

[EVA] Are you Arthur's brother?

Untie me.

My brother's a dead man.

This is what we need to get out of here

we need to divert the enemy and k*ll him off.

[JOEY] Let's untie him.

[EVA] Okay, let's untie him.

[JOEY] Come on.

[OLI] We're good.

[EVA] Yeah.

[JOEY] He has a hook. Holy crap. Oh my god.

[JOEY] Eva, Eva, Eva.

My brother is a dead man.

[OLI] Where are you going?

[JOEY] What are you doing?

[OLI] Go up the stairs, go up the stairs, go up the stairs.

[JOEY] Oh, sh**t!

[JOEY] Oh, gosh.

[OLI] Oh my god.

[JOEY] Oh my god.

[OLI] Oh my god.

[JOEY] Behind you!

[OLI] Behind you!

[OLI] Oh no!

[JOEY] No!

[JOEY] Oh my god.

[OLI] Get him!

[EVA] Come on!

[JOEY] You can do it! Get up!

[EVA] Get up!

[OLI] Come on!

[OLI] He's done it.

[EVA] Can we go home?

[OLI] This is over.

[JOEY] He's coming across the grass.

[OLI] What are you doing?

[EVA] Wait, what?

[OLI] What are you doing?

[OLI] Get back inside!

[JOEY] Get inside!

[JOEY] Get inside, quick!

[OLI] No! Push, push!

[EVA] Get in, get in, get in, get in.

[OLI] What just happened?

[EVA] At least the sun is coming up.

[JOEY] The ritual, the ritual.

[JOEY] Okay, this is the right ritual.

[OLI] We need to make this right now.

[JOEY] Okay, let's do it.

[JOEY] Get the sand, get the sand, get the sand!

[JOEY] Oli, go get the sand, it's outside!

[OLI] I'll go get that.

[EVA] Okay, I'll help.

[OLI] Alright, I've got the sand.

[OLI] Let's move this out of the way.

[JOEY] Yeah, let's, let's move it.

[JOEY] Guys, we have to be quick.

[JOEY] We don't have much more time.

[OLI] Okay.

[OLI] Guys, the sun is getting up. Are we ready?

[JOEY] Yeah, let's go, let's go.

[OLI] Okay, "With the thread of the crimes of your own design

I bind your evil three times.

Seven times, I bind you from behind

I bind you from before

that you hurt my people never more.

I bind you from the left, I bind you from the right

I bind you by day, I bind you by night.

I bind you from below, I bind you from above.

I bind you with your own evil within,

so let this magic unfold

Goddess of the darkest night

Bind the presence that haunts this home

in thy sacred fires of eternity."

[JOEY] Did it work?

[OLI] Did we do it?

[EVA] Did it work, guys?

[OLI] I think it worked.

[EVA] We need to bury them.

[JOEY] Let's bury these, come on.

The ritual finishes and we realize

obviously this one worked.

We feel a little bit safer

but we'd still have to bury the artifacts

before we can finally make it out.

[EVA] Joey, hurry!

[OLI] Come on, Joey!

[OLI] Put it in.

[EVA] Hurry guys!

[JOEY] Give me the shovel.

[OLI] Let's bury this.

This night has been the craziest night of my life.

This night is definitely gonna change me

and I definitely made some really close friends too.

I don't think anyone will understand

what happened tonight at this house.

[JOEY] Oh gosh.

I don't think I'm ever going to go to a dinner party.

Doesn't matter where it is, who it's with,

I don't do dinner parties now.

I feel so lucky to have survived.

I saw the deed and I knew that I needed to take it

so it wouldn't fall into the wrong hands.
