Episode 5 Trapped

'This is not a fairytale.

'Or is it?' SHE CACKLES

'For hundreds of years,

'only the most unfortunate are summoned to the Tower,

'ready to take on The Voice and the dark, magical forces.

'There are tricks and challenges on every floor.

'And someone not to be trusted.

'Only one will escape with the key of freedom!

'And the rest...'

'Are trapped...ever after.'

SHE CACKLES

Whoa! Who snarted? Boy! That is rankus! Phwoar!

That is going to rip right through every floor.

Here, mind you, I do like to have the place smelling all foulsome

for my new arrivals. And I think they will be here right about...

HE WHISTLES

-HE BREAKS WIND

-Now.

This lot are from Croydon.

That's Daisi. He's Lord Mayor of Marmalade.

-HE GRUNTS

-Kaleah is a champion wellie wanger.

John must be kept refrigerated at all times.

Freya invented wigs.

There's Kieran. He collects dust.

And that's Ellie. She used to be a step ladder.

HE LAUGHS

Like all those before them,

they'll be imprisoned at the top of the Tower.

'They must work as a team to complete challenges

'and escape each floor. But one of them cannot be trusted.

'The Saboteur. Only one will leave with the key of freedom

-and the rest, that's right, trapped!

-HE LAUGHS

'On each floor, a new saboteur will be chosen.

'It's up to you to uncover who it is.

'Remember everything you see as you journey through the Tower.

'You may need it to win the key of freedom.

'Not all of you will get that far.

'Some of you will be staying here a very long time.'

Ooh, she's nasty!

'Floor six!

'Botherer Blocks. Line up!'

Here, what's small, green and bounces round the room?

A baby botherer.

'Unfortunates will have their work cut out in this nasty nursery.

'They must build a tower from toy blocks scattered around the room

'whilst keeping an eye on the restless baby botherer.

'But beware. If there are power cuts,

'one Unfortunate will be out to cause chaos.

'With a baby botherer on the loose, there'll be trouble! To pass,

'Unfortunates must make sure baby's back in his pen

'and all toy blocks are on the rug.'

So, who cannot be trusted?

'Freya, do not react. You are the saboteur.

'You are the only one who can hear my voice.

'When the lights go out, it will be pitch black

'and this is your chance to release the baby botherer

'and destroy the tower.

'Now, be careful not to knock into anyone

'and be back in position when the lights come on.

'I will guide you through your whisper clip.'

HE LAUGHS

The saboteur is Freya, but will she blow her cover?

'Unfortunates, to pass, you must be sure the botherer is in the pen

'and all the toy blocks are on the rug at the end of 90 seconds.

'Let the challenge begin...now!

'OK, Freya, it's very important you look like one of the team.

'They'll be looking for any odd behaviour.

'Give them some encouragement. It'll help you blend in.'

Come on. Put them on the top.

'That's good. There's a power cut coming.

'Remember your position when the lights go out.

'Three, two, one. OK, quietly over to the lever.

'Here he comes. Come back into position.'

'60 seconds.'

THE VOICE CACKLES

'Well done. Now help them with the botherer.

'There will be less of them building the tower.

'Another power cut is coming. You don't want to be far from the lever.

'Here it comes. Three, two, one.

'Careful. Release him.

'When the lights come on, you don't want to be too close to the lever.'

THE VOICE CACKLES 'Clever girl.

'Time is running out.

'Another power cut is on its way. Get ready.

'Three, two, one. Someone's right by the lever!

'It's Daisi! Be really quiet! Really careful!

-'Good! Back in place.'

-'Nine, eight, seven...'

-'Yes!'

-'..six, five,

'four, three, two, one.'

'Your time is up!

'You have failed miserably!'

Oh-ho! This could be a close one!

'You must now vote for who you think the saboteur was and why.

'Daisi, who do you think the saboteur was?'

I think the saboteur was Kieran, because he was always near the gate.

-'Kaleah.'

-I think the saboteur was Kieran

because he was always near the gate and he wasn't helping much.

-'John.'

-I think the saboteur was Freya,

-cos she was always near the gate when the lights came up.

-'Freya.'

I think it was Kieran, cos he wasn't helping much at all.

-'Kieran, who do you think the saboteur was?

-I think it was Freya

because she was next to the gates when the lights came up.

-'Ellie.'

-I think it was Kieran because he wasn't helping very much.

'You have voted for...Kieran. I can now reveal

'the saboteur was, in fact...

'..Freya.'

'Kieran, you will not be leaving this room.

'The others are free to pass to the next floor.'

That saboteur had a pretty close shave.

'Kieran, any last words?'

Yeah, I'd like to say thanks a lot to the rest of my team.

'Poor, unfortunate Kieran.'

'You're trapped...ever after!'

SHE CACKLES

Poor little Kieran, he's feeling quite sick,

stuck with a baby, alone on floor six.

'Floor five! The Midnight Bride.'

Some people are never happy, particularly this ficklesome bride!

'When the clock strikes 12, the midnight bride

'has so many admirers, she cannot decide.'

-This is getting silly.

-'The marriage man said.'

You must find a husband before you are dead.

'Unfortunates must find her three potential husbands. But beware.

'Present her with any she doesn't like the look of

-'and there'll be trouble!'

-SHE SCREAMS

'Choose incorrectly three times and it's all over.'

SHE SCREAMS

Remember, one of them is not to be trusted. But who is it?

'Kaleah, do not react. You are the saboteur.

'What the others do not know is that tonight

'the bride hates all potential husbands with hankies.

'You must use your powers of persuasion to make the others fail.

'But don't be too obvious. I will guide you through your whisper clip.'

Ha! It's perfectly "Kaleah" to me

who the saboteur is. It's Kaleah.

'Unfortunates, to pass, the bride must approve

'three potential husbands. Let the challenge begin...

'..now!'

-Don't be late.

-'Remember, Kaleah, she hates men with hankies.'

-'Yes! A hanky! Yes!'

-Yeah, yeah.

'Perfect start.'

Quick. Quick.

CLOCK CHIMES

Do you, bride, take Wilfred Scab to be your fearful shredded husband?

SHE SCREAMS

THE VOICE LAUGHS 'That's one to you.'

You must find her another one.

Right, Ellie. Him. Him.

-'That's not a hankie, it's a flower.'

-Definitely?

'You need to speak up. Let them have this one,

'but if you leave it to them, you could end up trapped.'

Do you, bride, take Archibald Dread to be your fearful shredded husband?

-WEDDING BELLS CHIME

-Yes!

-Thank you!

You still need two more.

'OK, Kaleah, make yourself heard. Hankies. Come on!'

-'No, that's a flower.'

-Yeah, that one.

-'Don't agree!'

-They both have hats.

'You're losing control. This'll make it 2-1!'

'One more of those and you're trapped.'

Do you, bride, take Albert Creep

to be your fearful shredded husband?

WEDDING BELLS CHIME

-Well done.

-'You must speak up. Come on!'

-You must find one more.

-'Not him. There's no hankie!'

-Yeah, Eugene,

-because he hasn't got a hat on.

-'Kaleah, say something.'

-'Do something or you'll be trapped!'

-Yeah, but the ones before...

-Hurry up!

-'Don't give up.'

The clock strikes.

Do you, bride, take Eugene Twist?

'It's all over for you, Kaleah.'

WEDDING BELLS CHIME

ALL: Yes! Yes!

'Unfortunates, you have passed.'

Er, passed? What was she thinking?

'You have passed, therefore the saboteur

'is automatically locked in the room.

'But before I reveal the unlucky Unfortunate,

'who do you think the saboteur was and why?

-'Kaleah.'

-I think the saboteur was John

because he didn't really react when we got it right or wrong.

-'John.'

-I think the saboteur was Kaleah

cos she was always staying quiet.

-'Freya.'

-I think it was John, because he chose all the bad pictures.

-'Ellie.'

-I think it was Kaleah, because she wasn't participating.

-'Daisi.'

-I think the saboteur was John

because every time we passed, he didn't celebrate.

'You have voted for...John.

'I can now reveal, the saboteur was in fact...

'Kaleah.'

-I knew it.

-'Kaleah, although you were undetected,

'you failed to sabotage the challenge.

'Therefore, you will not be leaving this room.

'The others could still win the key of freedom

'and are free to pass to the next floor.'

'Kaleah, any last words?'

I'm really sad to be trapped and I'm going to miss my friends and family.

'Poor, unfortunate Kaleah.

'You're trapped...ever after!'

SHE CACKLES

Poor little Kaleah, will she survive?

Who knows? Who cares? She's trapped on floor five.

'Floor four!

'The Wolf And The Nut!'

Fact - a wolf's howl can be heard from ten miles away.

-WOLF HOWLS

-That one sounded a lot closer!

'There once was a wolf-hunter called Scarlet.

'On terrible day, a wolf ate her granny and she said...'

I'm going to find that wolf and cut off his head!

But first I need to get some sleep.

'But sleep she could not because the bed was riddled with scrumble nuts.

'Unfortunates must find the nuts between the mattresses on her bed.

'They must choose carefully, because lurking within

'is an angry child-eating wolf.

'Find the wolf three times and they fail!'

Remember, one of them is not to be trusted.

But who is it?

'John, do not react. You are the saboteur.

'Each time, I will tell you what part of the bed the wolf is in.

'It's up to you to guide your team towards it.

'But be careful. You don't want to be detected.

'I will guide you through your whisper clip.'

Ooh, it's John. Sab it up!

'Unfortunates, to pass you must find three scrumble nuts.

'Let the challenge begin...now!'

Is it top, middle or bottom?

'John, the wolf is in the top of the bed.'

Erm, I think top.

-'Good.'

-Middle. Middle.

-'Oh, no.'

-Top.

-Look, just choose the middle and if it's wrong...

-Top.

-You're going for the top?

-Yeah.

OK, Freya, get me a scrumble nut!

'Well done, John. You turned that around.'

GROWLING

-Urgh!

-THE VOICE LAUGHS

-What was that?

-A wolf.

-Where is my scrumble nut?

-I don't know. Move on.

'Good start. This time, the wolf is in the middle of the bed.'

We need to agree as a team.

-What do you think, Daisi? Shall we go for the bottom?

-'Speak up!'

-Bottom, yeah.

-OK. Place your hand into the mattress.

-Right in, Freya.

-'You're too late.;

-Yes!

-ALL CHEER

Oh, well done. That's one scrumble nut!

'This time, the wolf is in the middle. Come on, John!'

What's it going to be, top, middle or bottom?

-We've chosen the top...

-'Take control.'

Middle.

'Yes.'

-I don't know.

-I... I...

-What do you think, Daisi?

-I think middle.

-Middle. Middle.

-Yeah, middle.

-'Well done.'

-What are you going for?

-Middle.

-'Excellent.'

-Place your hand into the mattress.

-'Bite! Bite! Bite!'

GROWLING

-THE VOICE LAUGHS

-What was that?

-The wolf.

-Again? You didn't get me a scrumble nut?

-No.

-You guys!

'You only need one more. The wolf is in the bottom.'

-Top, middle or bottom?

-Do you think we should start from the bottom?

Do you think we should choose the top?

'Uh-oh. They're not listening!'

-What are you going for?

-Top.

-You're going for the top.

'You didn't put up much of a fight, John. Come on!'

'This'll make it two all.'

-Got it!

-THEY CHEER

Oh, thank you! You guys! I knew you could do it!

-'It all comes down to this.'

-OK, this is your last chance.

'The wolf is in the middle. Come on!'

-Bottom.

-Shall we go bottom?

-'It has to be middle or you're trapped!'

-We start from the top, then middle, then bottom.

-No, bottom!

-Middle.

-Bottom. Bottom.

'Ellie's taking control. Do something! It's not too late!'

-'Oh, dear.'

-I got a scrumble nut!

THEY CHEER

'Unfortunates, you have passed.'

Ha! That, my friend, is automatic trapification.

'You have passed. The saboteur is automatically locked in the room.

'But before I reveal the unlucky Unfortunate,

'who do you think the saboteur was and why?

-'John.'

-I think the saboteur was Ellie

cos she kept picking the wrong ones at the same time.

-'Freya.'

-I think the saboteur was John

because every decision the team made, he disagreed.

-'Ellie.'

-I think it was John cos he kept disagreeing with our answers.

-'Daisi.'

-I think the saboteur was John

because every decision he made, it was the wrong one.

'You have voted for John.'

'I can now reveal the saboteur was in fact...

'..John.'

-Told you.

-'John, you failed to sabotage the challenge

'and you were detected, therefore you will not be leaving this room.

-'The others are free to pass to the next floor.'

-Yes!

Oh, well, that saboteur was obviously obvious!

'John, any last words?'

I'm not too disappointed cos I'm glad I got this far.

'Poor, unfortunate John.

'You're trapped...ever after!'

SHE CACKLES

'Poor little John, his game had a flaw,

'not sneaky enough so he's trapped on floor four.'

PHONE RINGS

What? No, Mr and Mrs Wotsit, no visitation rights. It's final.

Your son is trapped.com. The end. Ta-ta!

Now, where were we? Oh, yes!

Kieran is trapped on floor six.

Kaleah is trapped on floor five.

And poor little John is trapped on floor four.

'Floor three!

'A Child For Tea.'

She might have trouble getting this lot in a teapot!

'There once was a lady, so kindly was she

-'that children were always invited for tea.'

-Cooey!

'She may seem all smiley and nice, but beware.

'This old granny is far from it.'

Come on in, dear. Take a seat.

You're just in time to try my treats.

'Fatten them up she might, but Unfortunates beware.

'They must eat two good sweets.

'Eating two bad sweets spells disaster.

-'And one of them cannot be trusted.'

-GRANNY LAUGHS

So who will it be?

'Daisi, do not react. You are the saboteur.

'I will tell you which of the granny's sweets are bad.

'It is up to you how you use this information.

'Be careful. You don't want to be detected.

'I will guide you through your whisper clip.'

Sab-tastic! It's Daisi.

'Unfortunates, to pass, you must eat two good sweets.

'Let the challenge begin...now!'

Ooh, you look sweet!

Sweet enough to eat.

GRANNY LAUGHS

Here I have three treats for you.

'OK, Daisi, the good sweet is on the blue plate.

-'Do not let them eat that one.'

-What do you think, Daisi?

'No, any one but that one.'

-You want to go for that one?

-Yep.

-OK.

-'Stop them.'

-Decided?

-'Now's your chance! Say something!'

'No, Daisi. Don't let the girls take over!'

-Big bite.

-DING

-Yes!

-'That's one to them.'

'OK, Daisi, one more of those and you're trapped.'

-'Make them listen to you.'

-Just one more you need.

'This time, the good sweet is on the red plate.

-'Get them to pick green or blue.'

-I think this...

-I think it's one of these two.

-'Good. That's it.'

-Yeah.

-Yeah?

-'Yes.'

-Go with your instinct, Ellie

'They're going for it! This will leave a nasty taste in her mouth.'

Urgh.

-THE VOICE LAUGHS

-I'm so sorry.

-Do you want to spit it out?

-I'm so sorry.

'Well done, Daisi.' GRANNY LAUGHS

'One more like that and they fail, so it's all down to this one.

'This time, the good sweet is on the green plate.

-'They can't eat that one or you're trapped.'

-Which one do you think?

-This one looks kind of poisonous.

-'Good.'

-What do you think of this one? It's got a little bit of dribble.

-'No!'

-Those two.

-Got for that one?

'They're taking control! Stop them!'

-Why don't you...

-You think it looks poisonous?

-Because it looks nasty.

-You think this one?

-Yeah.

-I think the lollipop.

-'Good.'

Come on, it's two against one.

'Do something! She's taking over!'

Don't do it!

It tastes good?

'Unfortunates,

'you have passed.'

THEY CHEER

Oh! What was he thinking?

'You have passed, therefore the saboteur is automatically

'locked in the room. But before I reveal the unlucky Unfortunate,

'who do you think the saboteur was? Freya.'

I think it was Daisi because he kept disagreeing with what we said.

-'Ellie.'

-I agree with Freya.

Daisi was playing against us.

-'Daisi.'

-I think it was Freya

because every time I tried to choose the right one,

-she chose the wrong one.

-'You have voted for Daisi.

'I can now reveal, the saboteur was in fact...

'..Daisi.'

GRANNY LAUGHS

'Daisi, you failed to sabotage the challenge and you were detected,

'therefore you will not be leaving this room.

'Freya and Ellie will go head to head in the fight for freedom.'

Oh, double trouble! Passed and spotted!

'Daisi, any last words?'

I'm gutted to be trapped but I'm glad I got this far.

GRANNY LAUGHS

'Poor, unfortunate Daisi.

'You're trapped...ever after!' SHE LAUGHS

Poor little Daisi, so plain to see

they knew it was him, now he's trapped on floor three.

'Floor two! The Fight For Freedom!'

Oh, this is it! I'm so excited, I could winch a whippet!

'Unfortunates, this is your only chance to win the key of freedom

'and escape. I will ask you questions about your time in the Tower.

'Get it right and you take one step closer to the key.

'Get it wrong and your opponent takes the step.

'It's a race to the key and there can only be one winner.

'Freya, your first question.

'What was the name of the wolf hunter on floor four?'

'Time up. It was Scarlet.

'Ellie, take Freya's step towards the key.

'Ellie, your first question.

-'Who was trapped on floor six?'

-Kieran.

'Correct, it was Kieran.

'Take a step towards the key.

'Freya, what colour was the carpet in The Midnight Bride?

Red.

'Correct, it was red.

'Take one step towards the key.

'Ellie, how many bedposts were there on Scarlet's bed?

-Six.

-'Correct, there were six.

'Take one step towards the key.

'Freya, answer this question incorrectly

'and you will be trapped.

'Who was the saboteur on floor five?'

Kaleah.

'Correct, it was Kaleah.

'Take one step towards the key.

'Ellie, answer this question correctly and you win your freedom.

'Answer incorrectly and Freya is still in with a chance.

'How many portraits were there to choose from in The Midnight Bride?'

11?

'Incorrect. It was 13.

'Freya, take Ellie's step towards the key.

'Well, well, well. You are both just one step from the key of freedom.

'Now you must answer correctly or risk being trapped.

'Freya, how many challenges have you passed in the Tower?'

Four.

'Incorrect. It was three.'

'Ellie, if you answer this question correctly,

'you will win the key of freedom.

'On floor three, what colour were granny's shoes?'

Black.

'Correct, they were black.

'Congratulations. You have won the key of freedom. Take it.

'Poor, unfortunate Freya.

'You're trapped!

'Ellie, you have won your freedom.

'Take the key and leave the Tower

'before I change my mind.'

'Poor little Freya missed out on the key.

'Ellie escaped. Now she's free.'

I'm going to miss you guys!

Well, I'm not going to miss you! So, Ellie is free ever after.

And so are you. For now.
