Episode 6 Trapped

This is not a fairy tale. Or is it? Ha-ha-ha.

For hundreds of years, only the most unfortunate

are summoned to the tower

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

Then I pick some challenges on every floor

and someone not to be trusted.

Only one will escape with the key of freedom.

And the rest...

You're trapped...ever after!

Oh, hello there.

Ha, now then,

let's see what that grows into.

HE WHISTLES

In the meantime, let's check what's in the cage.

Methinks it might be a batch

of Unfortunates ready to take on the Tower.

Fools! Ha-ha.

This lot are from Bootle.

There's Matthew. He has a really unusual nickname.

There's Bobbie-Leigh... Bobbylee, Bobbly?!

Paul is allergic to chairs.

Rhea is 100% wholewheat goodness.

Harry won Eurovision in 1970-ten.

And Fern - that's three yeses. You're going through.

Ha-ha-ha.

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! Ha-ha-ha.

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, that's ages.

-DONG!

-Floor Six!

The Lost Invitations.

Line up!

Grimbles, ooh! You don't want one of them in your house.

In the Tower post room, a Grimble's on the loose.

It's messed up all the letters, now it's hiding in the booth.

What's worse, the royal ball is next week

and some of the invitations have gone missing.

Unfortunates must find six of the missing invitations, stamp them

and post them in the booth.

Ha-ha-ha.

Remember, one of them is not to be trusted.

But who is it?

'Matthew, do not react.

'You are the Saboteur

'and you are the only one who can hear my voice.

'You must destroy the invitations before the others find them.

'I will tell you where the invitations are.

'It is up to you what you do with this information.

'But be careful. You don't want the others to suspect you.

'I will guide you through your Whisper Clip.'

Ha! The challenge is set, the Saboteur picked,

all Matthew needs to do is make sure the team fail without being...ee-ee!

Spotted.

'Unfortunates!

'To pass, the post box must contain six invitations

'at the end of two minutes.'

Let the challenge begin...now!

'Matthew, listen to me carefully. I will tell you where the invitations

'are. There's one on top of the post box. Where have you gone?

'I can't see you! Have you got it? Is it in there?

'Fern has found a golden invitation.

'That's one to them! Tell her to hurry up.'

Hurry up, come on!

'In you go. Work quickly. Quicker!

'Tear it up! You mustn't spend too long in there.

'Now, get out and work with the others.

'Now, listen.

'There are more invitations to the left of the wire cages.

'Matthew! Behind you!

'That's it. Right in front of you.

'Now, open them. Quickly!

'Open any of them! On the floor!

'In front of you! Start opening. Come on!

'Matthew, you must work quicker. If you stand around doing nothing,

'they'll suspect you!

'Fern is right next to you.

'She'll notice that you're working slowly.

'That's better.

'Now, keep going.

'No, that's not one. Rhea is posting another one.

'That's two to them!

'Right, forget those.

'There's an invitation underneath the stool.

'See if you can find that.

'Remember to look pleased if you find it.'

30 seconds.

'Have you got it?'

Found one, found one!

'Great! You must be careful.

'Somebody is right outside the booth.

'She's watching you! If she saw that,

'it'll be her word against yours.

'Open more envelopes. Quickly, quickly, Matthew!

'Luckily for you, the team haven't done so well.'

Five...four...

three...two...one...

Your time is up!

You have failed...miserably!

Ho-ho-ho!

To sabotage, you need to be sneaky.

I don't know how he'll get away with that one.

You must now vote for who you think the Saboteur was,

and why. Matthew, who do you think the Saboteur was?

I think the Saboteur was Bobbie, because she hasn't been talking.

Bobbie.

I thought it was Matthew, because he voted for me

cos I saw him rip the ball invitation.

Paul?

I think it was Bobbie, cos she wasn't talking, like Matthew said.

Rhea, who do you think the Saboteur was?

I think the Saboteur was Matthew

because he took ages in the booth.

Harry?

I think the Saboteur was Matthew,

because when he went in the booth, you could hear ripping.

-Fern.

-I think it was Matthew,

because when I was going into the booth, he took a while coming out.

You have voted for...

Matthew.

I can now reveal the Saboteur was in fact...

..Matthew.

Matthew, although you sabotaged the challenge,

you were detected. Therefore,

you will not be leaving this room.

The others are free to pass to the next floor.

Oh, boo-hoo(!) Get over it.

Matthew, any last words?

I'm really gutted I got trapped first.

Poor unfortunate Matthew.

You're trapped...ever after!

SHE CACKLES

Poor little Matthew, he's feeling quite sick.

Alone with a Grimble, trapped on Floor Six.

-DONG!

-Floor Five!

Poisoned Hollows.

An apple a day keeps the doctor away.

Not these ones!

Never stray from the path, and never pick a wind-fallen apple.

Especially if it's poisoned!

Unfortunates must make a circle of poisoned apples.

Once complete, they must hide in the hollows,

but listen out! When the owl hoots twice,

it means someone has broken the circle of trust.

But who will it be?

'Paul, do not react. You are the Saboteur.

'It is your job to ensure the circle is not complete

'at the end of the challenge.

'I will tell you when it is safe to come out

'and destroy the circle.

'You will have five seconds from the moment you touch

'the first apple. I will guide you through your Whisper Clip.'

Yeah! It's Paul.

Sab it up, baby!

Unfortunates!

To pass, the circle of poisoned apples must be complete

at the end of 90 seconds.

Let the challenge begin...now!

'Paul, help your team.

'That's it.'

Spin, spin.

'They'll be looking for any odd behaviour.'

Circle complete.

'Wait...come out now!

'Come on, quickly! Destroy it!

'That's it. Now, in!

OWL HOOTS

'Come on! You'll get caught. Out with the others.'

60 seconds.

Circle complete.

'Wait! Out now.

'Quicker! Come on!

'Wreck it.

'Yes. Mwah-ha-ha-ha!

-OWL HOOTS

-'In! Get back.

'Out with the others.'

-Come on, everyone!

-Hang on, spin it, there's some in the middle.

30 seconds.

Quick! Knock it over! Quick...

'You're doing really well.'

Circle complete.

'Now you've got the hang of it, try and frame the others

'by leaving an apple outside their hollow.

'Nice!

-OWL HOOTS

-'In!

'That was close.'

Your time is up!

You have failed!

Miserably!

Ho, nicely played! But - has the Saboteur been spotted?

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

Paul. Who do you think the Saboteur was?

I think the Saboteur was Bobbie, because she weren't talking again.

Rhea.

I also think it was Bobbie,

because she was next to me in the tree trunk and erm...

I could just hear noises.

Harry. Who do you think the Saboteur was?

I think it was Bobbie,

cos I could hear loads of noises when the apples were going.

Fern.

I think it was Harry, because I could hear all noises beside me.

-Bobbie-Leigh.

-I think it was Paul,

because all the apples were coming from his direction.

You have voted for...

Bobbie-Leigh.

I can now reveal the Saboteur was in fact...

..Paul.

Bobbie-Leigh. 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.

Ho! Done up like a kipper. Smelly, too.

Bobbie-Leigh...any last words?

Yes. I'm going to really miss using my laptop.

Poor unfortunate Bobbie-Leigh.

You're trapped...ever after!

Poor Bobbie-Leigh. Will she survive? Now she's trapped in the hollows -

alone on Floor Five.

-DONG!

-Floor Four!

Split Ends.

Here. What do you think happens if you never have a haircut?

You're about to find out!

There once was a girl - approach if you dare.

Never combed it or cut it, now she's trapped by her hair.

Split Ends is her name, and the poor thing's in knots.

Unfortunates must gently untie three bows from her tangled plaits,

without disturbing her.

If she screams three times, it's all over.

Beware. Someone will be out to upset her!

But who...will it be?

'Fern. Do not react!

'You are the Saboteur.

'I will tell you which bow will set off Split Ends in each bunch.

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

'But don't be too obvious - or they'll suspect you.

'I will guide you through your Whisper Clip.'

Ho! Fern is the next Saboteur.

Sab-tastic, mate.

Unfortunates - to pass, you must successfully remove three bows

without disturbing Split Ends.

Let the challenge begin...

..NOW!

'Fern. The red bow is the screamer. Guide your team.'

-Yellow?

-I think yellow...

'They're making a decision without you. Come on!

'This is not a good start. Just make sure you blend in.'

Gentle...

-Gently!

-I'm trying.

'Keep up the act, Fern...'

Careful...

-Is that OK?

-No, you have to do it fully.

Yes!

SPLIT ENDS GIGGLES

'The green bow is the screamer.'

-Which one do you think we should...

-I think...

Yellow again. Yellow.

'Not yellow! Green!'

-We'll do green, then yellow.

-Go on then, Harry.

'Yes... They're going for it!'

We're going to do Harry's one and say green.

'What IS she doing?!

'She's making a real meal of this.

'Just untie the bow!

'Here it comes...

SHE SCREAMS

'Excellent! Ha-ha-ha-ha-ha!

'The yellow bow is the screamer this time.'

Well, yellow gave us a good one last time, so...

We need to go on the left one, don't we?

'Careful... Don't give yourself away.'

Go on.

Not yellow. Cos that's separate...

'They're looking for a code.

'Manipulate the team!'

What do you want to do?

I think yellow.

You think yellow?

'Yes! Everyone's agreed.

'Nicely done.

'Split Ends isn't going to like this...

'Not one little bit!

SHE SCREAMS

'Ha-ha-ha-ha-ha!

'The yellow bow is the screamer.'

-Green!

-We haven't done red, have we?

-No, cos that's...

-'Take control!'

What do you want to do?

When it separates, she screams.

'They're running away with it!'

Do you want to do green, then?

'This is risky.

'It'll be another one to them!

SHE GIGGLES

'Fern...red is the last screamer.

'Make them pick red or you're trapped.'

Do you want to do red? We haven't looked at red much.

'Yes!

-'Careful.'

-I'm scared. You do it.

'Perfect! You've got them.'

SHE SCREAMS

Unfortunates! You have failed MISERABLY!

Oh!

You must now vote for who you think the Saboteur was,

and why.

Rhea. Who do you think the Saboteur was?

I think the Saboteur was Harry,

because when we made a decision he was just like, thinking, then like,

agreeing or disagreeing.

-Harry.

-I think it was Fern,

because she kept saying the same colour all the time.

Fern. Who do you think the Saboteur was?

I think it was Harry, because he didn't say much during the task.

Paul.

I think it was Fern, because she kept trying to persuade us.

You have voted for Harry...

..and Fern.

Ho-ho! You know what that means. Draw straws.

Whoever draws the short straw will be trapped.

Harry, you have drawn the short straw.

Therefore - you are the unlucky one.

Ha-ha!

I can now reveal the Saboteur was in fact...

..Fern.

SPLIT ENDS GIGGLES

Harry - you will NOT be leaving this room.

The others are free to pass to the next floor.

Oh - Saboteur, saved by the draw straws! Ha-ha.

Harry...any last words?

I never got to say goodbye to my friends and family. Goodbye.

SPLIT ENDS SCREAMS

Poor unfortunate Harry!

You're trapped...ever after!

Ha-ha-ha-ha-ha!

Poor little Harry shall be playing no more.

Can't see him for hair - now he's trapped on Floor Four.

-PHONE RINGS

-Ah.

What?!

What? What do you mean, you can't find the address(?)

It's simple. It's "The Tower".

That's it. No number. No postcode. Just "The Tower".

No, no, no...

Take a left, then take a right, then step backwards,

then take a bobbing craft...

What's a bobbing craft?

Ooh!

Forget it!

Now, where were we?

-Ooh, yes!

-HE LAUGHS

Matthew is trapped on Floor Six.

Bobbie-Leigh is trapped on Floor Five.

And poor little Harry is trapped on Floor Four.

-GONG

-Floor Three! Millicent And The Moths!

How many Unfortunates does it take to switch off a light bulb?

No?

Three, apparently.

Millicent was cruel, she did wicked things.

Like capturing moths to pull off their wings, ha-ha!

Millicent would switch on the lights to attract the poor little moths.

Unfortunates must put a stop to it. Turn them all off

and hide in their clothing boxes. But listen out -

if lights are a-buzzing, it means someone is up to no good.

So who will it be?

'Fern, do not react. It's you again.

'Whilst the others are hiding,

'I will tell you when it is safe to come out.

'When you switch on the first light, Millicent will appear.

'She will help you. You must turn on as many as possible.

'But beware - you have only five seconds

'before the lights start to buzz.

'I will guide you through your Whisper Clip.'

-HE LAUGHS

-So, Fern is the Saboteur again!

Will the others spot her this time?

Unfortunates! To pass, all the lights must be off at the end

of 90 seconds.

Let the challenge begin...

now!

'Fern, blend in with the others. That's it!

'That's it! Work quickly. Hide in your wardrobe.

'I will tell you when it's safe to come out.

'Wait.

'Go now!

'Quietly. Millicent will be coming to help you.

'Quick! Back in your wardrobe!

'Hold it! And back out with the others.'

THE VOICE LAUGHS

'Don't be too quiet! Encourage them!'

Come on! That one!

-To the wardrobe!

-60 seconds.

'Wait!

'OK, the coast is clear!

'Out you come!

'Remember, just five seconds from when you touch the first light.

'Three, two...quick! Get back and leave the rest to Millicent!

'That's it! Out again! Play the game!

-'You've really got the hang of this!'

-Quick, come on!

-'You missed one.'

-There's one over here!

-Paul!

-'No! There's one by you!

'You don't want to leave a light on near YOUR wardrobe!

'Out you come! Be quiet! They'll be listening!

'Three, two...back!'

THE VOICE LAUGHS EVILLY

'Paul has just turned on a light by mistake.

'I hope Rhea saw that.'

Ten, nine...

'Out now.

'You must be quiet.

'In!'

Five, four...

'You've got them!'

Two, one.

Oh!

Unfortunates! Your time is up!

You failed miserably!

Eenie, meenie, miney, mo!

-One of you lot has to go!

-HE LAUGHS

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

Fern, who do you think the Saboteur was?

I think it was Paul, cos he wasn't really saying that much.

Paul.

I think it was Fern, because she turned one on, then back off.

Rhea.

I also think it was Fern because, erm,

whichever wardrobe she was in, the door would always slam.

You have voted for...

Fern. I can now reveal the Saboteur was, in fact...

..Fern.

You sabotaged the challenge, but you were detected. Therefore,

you will not be leaving this room. Paul and Rhea

will go head-to-head in the Fight For Freedom.

Trrrr-apped!

Fern, any last words?

I'm so disappointed cos I didn't get to the last floor.

Poor, unfortunate Fern.

You're trapped!

-Ever after!

-SHE LAUGHS EVILLY

Poor little Fern! So plain to see!

They knew it was her,

now she's trapped on Floor Three.

GONG

Floor Two. Fight For Freedom.

Oh, this is it! I'm so excited I could strangle a maggot.

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 a step. It's a race to the key,

and there can only be one winner.

Paul, your first question.

On which floor did you play Lost Invitations?

Floor One.

Incorrect. Floor Six.

Rhea.

Take Paul's step towards the key.

Rhea, your first question.

Did your team pass or fail Poison Hollows?

Fail.

Correct.

'You have failed miserably!'

Rhea, take one step towards the key.

Paul, who was trapped on Floor Four?

CLOCK TICKS

Fern.

Incorrect! It was Harry.

Rhea, take Paul's step towards the key.

Rhea, the Key of Freedom is within your grasp.

Get this right and you win.

Get it wrong, and Paul is still in with a chance.

Who helped the Saboteur switch on the lights on Floor Three?

CLOCK TICKS

Time up!

It was Millicent.

Lucky Paul!

Take Rhea's step towards the key!

Paul, you must answer this question correctly to stay in the game.

Get it wrong and Rhea will win.

RHEA EXHALES SLOWLY

What pattern can be found on Split Ends' socks?

CLOCK TICKS

Stripes.

Correct. They WERE stripes.

Paul, take one step towards the key.

Rhea, the Key of Freedom is within your grasp.

Answer this question correctly,

and you will win. Get it wrong, and Paul is still in with a chance.

Which Unfortunate posted the first Golden Invitation on Floor Six?

Fern.

Correct.

Congratulations, Rhea. You have won the key.

Take it!

Poor, unfortunate Paul.

You're trapped!

Rhea, you have won your freedom.

Take the key and leave the Tower, before I change my mind!

Poor little Paul. Missed out on the key! Rhea escaped,

-and now she's free.

-CARETAKER GROWLS

Oh yeah, oh yeah, I did it, whoa!

Yeah, you did do it, but now you're doing my head in!

So, Rhea is free ever after.

And so are you.

For now!

HE LAUGHS EVILLY
