Episode 9 Trapped

'This is not a fairytale. Or is it?'

THE VOICE LAUGHS

'For hundreds of years, only the most unfortunate

'are summoned to the Tower, ready to take on The Voice

'and her 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...'

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

THE VOICE LAUGHS

Ah! There you are!

Now, what do you get if you take six Unfortunates out of a bobbin craft,

shove them in a cage and then crank them up to the top of a tower?

-Well, let's find out!

-MAN WHISTLES

-HE LAUGHS

-Here they come.

'This lot are from Plaistow.

'There's Yoma. She walks backwards on a Sunday.

'That's Rowan. He's low in saturates.

'Lotte, who is just pretending.

'Moobina used to be a leisure centre.

'Yusuf, who looks great in that shirt.

'And Tiernan isn't here right now, please leave a message. Beep!'

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.'

She's so mean.

'Floor six!

'The Lost Invitations.'

'Line up!'

Grimbles may be tiny but they make a right mess.

'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 invitations have gone missing.

'Unfortunates must find six of the missing invitations,

'stamp them and post them in the booth.

'Remember, one of them is not to be trusted.'

But who will it be?

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

'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.'

Top of the Tower, and Tiernan is the first saboteur.

But will he get away with it?

'Unfortunates, to pass,

'the post box must contain six invitations

'at the end of two minutes.

'Let the challenge begin...now!'

'Tiernan, there are only ten invitations in the room,

so you must get to them first.'

Come on!

'They've found some already. But Yoma's posting the wrong thing.

'Lucky for you, that won't count. But Moobina's got one. It's gold.

'This will be one to them. Come on, Tiernan!'

Where are they?

-Yes, I've found one!

-'No! Lotte's found one!

'Tiernan, you have to find one soon and destroy it. Come on!

'They only need four more. There's one in the crate by the fan.

'Find it before they do. Go on. Go!

'There's five of them and one of you.

-'You're going to have to work quicker!'

-Found one!

'Excellent.

'Don't let them see you. Wait for the door to shut. Now destroy it.'

THE VOICE LAUGHS

-Found one!

-'Now find me another one. Remember, they only need six

'and they've already found two. Wait. Yoma's found a third.

'Tiernan, search the red boxes in the corner by the window.

-'Come on!'

-Found one!

'Yoma's got number four! Hurry up, Tiernan!

'Good work. But they only need two more to pass!'

-'13 seconds.'

-'Time is running out!'

'Now Yoma's found a fifth!

'Ah, no, it's not gold. You were lucky this time.

'They still need two more.

'There are four golden invitations still to be found.

-'You must find them before they do!'

-'Ten, nine, eight,

'seven, six, five,

-'four, three...'

-'Yes!'

'..two, one.'

'Your time is up! You have failed miserably!'

HE LAUGHS

Thumbs up. But have they got away with it?

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

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

I think it was Yoma cos she kept finding all the invitations

like she knew where they were.

-'Yoma.'

-I think it was Moobina, cos she kept going in the booth

-and taking her time.

-'Rowan.'

I think it was Moobina, cos she didn't talk to us very much.

-'Lotte.'

-I think it was Moobina because when she found invitations,

-she wasn't very enthusiastic.

-'Yusuf.'

I think it was Moobina, cos she was taking her time and not joining in.

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

I think it was Yusuf cos he didn't communicate as much as the rest.

'You have voted for Moobina.

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

'..Tiernan.'

'Moobina, you will not be leaving this room.

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

Ooh, stitched up.

'Moobina, any last words?'

I don't think that I should've been trapped because I tried my hardest

and, at the end of the day, I wasn't the saboteur.

'Poor, unfortunate Moobina.

'You're trapped

ever after!'

Poor little Moobina, she's feeling quite sick,

stuck with a grimble alone on floor six.

'Floor five!

'The Frozen Princess.'

Princesses. Aren't they meant to be pretty and sweet and all lovely?

Oh, not this one.

'There once was a princess, cold-hearted and mean,

'frozen inside and out, wake her up and she'll scream.

'To warm her sub-zero heart,

'Unfortunates must gently place five flowers,

'one by one, into her chilly blue hands.

'Sounds easy, eh? But someone's out to upset her.'

Ooh, who's is going to be?

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

'When you, and only you, say the word "careful"

'the frozen princess will awaken and throw away her flowers.

'Careful how you use this information.

'I will guide you through your whisper clip.'

Ohh! The saboteur is Lotte.

But can she remain undetected?

'Unfortunates, to pass, you must have five flowers

'in the princess's hands at the end of 90 seconds.

'Let the challenge begin...now!'

'OK, Lotte, remember, the trigger word is "careful."

Go.

Come on. Please, please.

-'Remember to look like part of the team.'

-Yes!

Pink, OK.

'That's two, Lotte. Think about how you might use the trigger word.

-'This'll be three.'

-OK, be really, really careful.

SHE SCREAMS

'Now help the team or you'll look suspicious. Come on!'

-OK, yes. That's really good.

-Lotte, get one.

-Which colour?

Any colour you want. It doesn't matter.

'The team are working quickly. They've got three.

-'Yours will be number four.'

-OK, OK.

-'What are you going to do?'

-OK, go on.

Be really... OK. Please, please be careful.

SHE SCREAMS 'Well done.

'Make them think it's the colours.'

What colour was that that made her scream?

-I don't know.

-What colour did you put in?

-Blue.

-Blue, OK.

-Go, go, go!

-Just be really...

-OK.

-'Time's running out and they only need one more!'

-This one, OK?

-OK, go on.

'Don't take too long or they'll suspect you.

'This will be number five!

Careful, careful, careful!

-SHE SCREAMS

-'Three, two, one.'

'Unfortunates!

'Your time is up.

'You have failed miserably!'

Ooh, nicely done. But has the saboteur been seen?

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

Yoma, who do you think the saboteur was?'

I think it was Lotte, because at the end, she was taking it slow.

-'Rowan.'

-I think it was Lotte

cos she took so much time on the last flower.

-'Lotte.'

-I think it was Yoma because she wasn't really communicating.

-'Yusuf.'

-I think it was Lotte because she had a smirk on her face.

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

I think it was Yusuf because he wasn't joining in very much.

'You have voted for Lotte.

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

'..Lotte.'

'Lotte, although you sabotaged the challenge, you were detected.

'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.'

Unlucky!

'Lotte, any last words?'

I'm a bit disappointed, but I tried my best.

Can I just say goodbye to my friends?

'Poor, unfortunate Lotte.

'You're trapped

'ever after!'

Poor little Lotte, she didn't survive.

No-one would trust her. Now she's trapped on floor five.

'Floor four!

'The Wolf And The Nut.'

One night, Scarlett turned up at the Tower drenched with rain.

The Voice gave her a bed for the night,

and the funny thing is, she's not had a wink of sleep since.

'There once was a wolf-hunter called Scarlett.

'One 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?

'Rowan, 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.'

So, Rowan is the saboteur.

But has he got what it takes to fool the others?

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

'Let the challenge begin...now!'

So, guys, you know what to do! Top, middle or bottom?

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

-Yusuf, do what you want, OK?

-'Excellent.'

-Top.

-You're going for top? Are you sure?

-Yes.

Place your hand into the mattress and get me a scrumble nut!

GROWLING

-What was it, what was it?

-Like a wolf hound or something.

-What are you talking about?

-It came out the side of your bed.

Er, hello! I think I'd know if there was a wolf. Come on, follow me!

'Good start. That's one to you. The wolf is still in the top.'

Is it going to be top, middle or bottom?

-It's been top before so I think top again.

-Shall we do bottom?

-Yeah.

-'Rowan, is that the best you can do?

-'Come on.'

-Bottom.

-Are you 100 percent sure?

-Yes.

-OK.

-Are you sure?

-ALL: Yes.

'OK, give them this one. Try to look pleased.'

Place your hand nice and deep into the mattress.

-Yes!

-THEY CHEER

Yay! Oh!

So that's one scrumble nut. You've just got to find me two more.

'You've got to manipulate the team.

'You have to guide them towards the wolf. He's in the bottom.'

-Top's bad. But bottom was really good.

-We haven't tried middle yet.

-Let's try middle.

-Why are you guys going middle? Cos top isn't safe

-but last time we got a nut.

-'Careful.'

-I think we should try the middle cos we haven't done it yet.

-We haven't.

-'You have no choice.'

-Go.

So you're going to go for the middle? OK, here we go!

'OK, the pressure's on. You can't let them find another scrumble nut!'

-THEY CHEER

-Oh, yay! That's two scrumble nuts!

-Come on, guys!

-'If they find one more, you're trapped.

-'The wolf is in the middle of the bed.'

-Bottom and middle had nuts.

What do you think? Seriously, what do you think?

-I think top.

-'This is going to be tricky.'

-Why not...

-Let's try the top.

-'Uh-oh.'

-Middle was best.

-OK, who votes for top?

-I vote middle.

-'Do something!'

Why are you so sure it's in the top?

You guys are making me suspicious

cos you guys keep going, "Top, top, top."

-You're making us suspicious of you.

-You don't know.

We're not sure, we're only guessing it's going to be the top.

But I'm guessing, as well. Give everyone an equal chance.

-'Yes!'

-Fine, just go for middle, then.

'Yes! Well done, Rowan!'

-OK.

-OK, middle.

-OK.

'What's the time, Mr Wolf?'

GROWLING

Sorry, guys, I led you the wrong way. I'm sorry.

You guys can pick next time, cos I'm not good at this, obviously.

If you don't find that nut, I'll never get any sleep!

Let's go to the next side, come on.

'It all comes down to this. The wolf is in the top of the bed.'

This is your last chance.

-What's it going to be?

-You guys decide.

-What do you think?

-I don't know, to be honest.

-'Let them decide.'

-I think we should go for the bottom.

-OK, bottom.

-'Frame someone.'

-OK. I'll go with the team.

Do you guys all believe in Tiernan?

How do you know he ain't being guided?

Why do you know so much about bottom? Why are you so sure?

-I honestly have no idea.

-It's a guess.

-All the time, I'm just guessing.

-So what's it to be?

Top, middle or bottom?

-'Rowan, if they find a scrumble nut, you're trapped!'

-Bottom.

-Bottom.

-OK. You know what to do.

-Find me that scrumble nut, guys.

-'Oh, dear.'

ALL: Yes!

Yay! Oh! That's so great!

'Unfortunates!

'You have passed.'

Now I can get some sleep! Thanks, you guys!

Ha! That, my friend, is automatic trapification.

'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?

-'Rowan?'

-I think it was Tiernan

cos he always seemed too sure of what he was saying.

-'Yusuf.'

-I think it was Rowan, because it was a bit obvious

-and he had a smile when we got one wrong.

-'Tiernan.'

I think it was Rowan because he persuaded us but it was wrong.

'Yoma, who do you the saboteur was?'

I think it was Rowan because he shook his head when we got it right.

'You have voted for Rowan.

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

'..Rowan.'

'Rowan, 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.'

Well, that saboteur was obviously obvious! It's obvious!

'Rowan, any last words?'

I think I was too forceful in that challenge

and should've let the other people make up their own minds.

'Poor, unfortunate Rowan.

'You're trapped

'ever after!'

THE VOICE LAUGHS

Poor little Rowan will be playing no more,

they found all the nuts, now he's trapped on floor four.

PHONE RINGS

-What? Oh, hello.

-HE LAUGHS

No, you can't send them food parcels, Mrs Wotsit.

They'll have to just make do with foliage like everybody else.

Yeah, bye!

Now, where were we? Oh, yes.

Moobina is trapped on floor six.

Lotte is trapped on floor five.

And poor little Rowan is trapped on floor four.

'Floor three!

'Millicent And The Moths!'

Oh! That pesky Millicent!

Stop playing with them lights!

'Millicent was cruel, she did wicked things,

'like capturing moths to pull off their wings.

'She 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?

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

'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.'

Oh, sab-tastic! It's Yusuf!

'Unfortunates!

'To pass, all the lights must be off at the end of 90 seconds.

'Let the challenge begin...now!

'Yusuf, start by helping the team.

'That's good.

'They're all off. Into your wardrobe.

'Wait. The coast is clear. Now, quickly and quietly, off you go!

'OK, you have five seconds.

'Three, two... Back in!

'And out again. Act naturally.

'60 seconds.'

'OK, last one off. Get back in and await my command.

'Wait! Tiernan's coming out! Wait, wait!

'OK, coast is clear. Out you come.

'Get as many on as you can. Here comes Millicent. Now back in!

'Good job. Out you come.

-'Encourage them.'

-Come on!

-One more.

-'30 seconds.'

'OK, they're all off.

'This game is all about timing.

'You must leave yourself enough time at the end to switch on the lights.

'OK, back in! Quietly.

Oh!

'Time's running out!'

-'Nine, eight...'

-'When everyone's back in, you'll have to be quick!'

-'Everyone's in. Yusuf, do it! Now!'

-'..two, one.'

'Your time is up!'

-'You have passed.'

-ALL: Yes!

Boring!

'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? Yusuf?'

I think it was Yoma cos when she was turning the lights off,

she had a smirk on her face.

-'Tiernan.'

-I think it was Yusuf,

because when we won, he seemed unhappy.

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

I think it was Yusuf cos he looked suspicious and kept smiling.

'You have voted for Yusuf.

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

'..Yusuf.

'Yusuf, you failed to sabotage the challenge and you were detected.

'Therefore, you will not be leaving this room.

'Yoma and Tiernan will go head to head in the fight for freedom.'

-Double trouble! Passed and spotted!

-HE LAUGHS

'Yusuf, any last words?'

Yeah, I'd just like to say goodbye to my friends and family.

'Poor, unfortunate Yusuf.

'You're trapped

'ever after!'

Poor little Yusuf, he'll never go free.

Stuck with Millicent, he's trapped on floor three.

'Floor two!

'Fight For Freedom!'

Oh, this is it! I'm so excited, I could vomit! Right now. I could!

'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.

'Tiernan, your first question.

'What colour was the post box in The Lost Invitations?

-Blue.

-'Incorrect. Green.'

'Yoma, take Tiernan's step towards the key.

'Yoma, which creature were you trying to avoid on floor four?'

-Wolf.

-'Correct. It was a wolf.

'Yoma, take one step towards the key.

'Tiernan, where do Unfortunates hide on floor three?

'Time up. Wardrobes.

'Yoma, take a step towards the key.

'Yoma, the Key of Freedom is within your grasp.

'Answer this question correctly and you will win your freedom.

'Yoma, who was the saboteur on floor six?'

-Rowan.

-'Incorrect. It was Tiernan.

'Tiernan, take Yoma's step towards the key.

'Tiernan, answer this question incorrectly,

'Yoma takes the key and you will be trapped.

'To pass the challenge on floor five, how many flowers

-'must the princess be holding?'

-Five.

'Correct, it was five.

'Take your step closer to the key.

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

'Who is trapped on floor six?'

-Moobina.

-'Correct, it was Moobina.'

'Yoma, congratulations.

'You have won the Key of Freedom. Take it.

'Poor, unfortunate Tiernan.

'You're trapped!

'Yoma, you have won your freedom.

'Take the key and leave the tower

'before I change my mind!

'Poor little Tiernan missed out on the key.

'Yoma escaped and how she's free.'

You'll never trap me!

You better run, little one!

So, Yoma is free ever after.

And so are you.

-For now.

-HE LAUGHS
