VILVOORDE MONTH BEFORE DEPARTURE
SELECTION INTERVIEWS
LAST ROUND
PHONE RINGS
Hello?
Welcome to...The Mole.
For quality purposes, this conversation may be recorded.
Dear, congratulations.
You will become one of the ten candidates in the new season of De Mol.
Oh my God, that can't be. Really?
To confirm your participation, press 1.
Do you prefer to stay at home? Press 2.
Crazy.
I press 1.
Your ticket for episode 1 is hereby confirmed.
9 candidates are ready to go.
But 'De Mol' is played with 10 candidates.
Have a seat.
It's exciting, right?
Because we have never done this before. No
Taking a well-known Flemish person with you.
Anyway, everyone is allowed to register.
So why wouldn't you be allowed to participate?
We already have nine candidates so we have one more spot.
You're looking forward to that, aren't you?
Yes.
Then I have good news.
You have gone through all the selections.
You are our tenth candidate.
Do you feel up for it? - Yes, definitely.
Are you nervous?
Yes, actually. I'm nervous now too.
IMITATES BEATING HEART
And I already have a first assignment.
One with which you can give the group a big gift.
If you succeed
the first day to make the majority of your fellow candidates believe
that you are not Matteo Simoni
but a look-alike.
Someone who looks very much alike.
Then you earn 2,000 euros.
for the group pot
Isn't that impossible?
Great, I can do that.
I can try that.
No journey is too far if you find what you're looking for.
Dear friends Welcome to the American prairie
Here begins your search for the mole.
You are divided into two groups.
And friends, it is finally time to face each other.
Hello, I am Samya. - Hey, I am Ruben.
Hello. - Hello, hello.
I am Conny Lancelot, nice to meet you.
What was your name? Lancelot. Sorry, that's difficult.
- Hallo. Hey.
Hello.
- Hallo
Hello.
Hello, hello.
I am Leila.
Lina? I am Thomas.
Hey. Steve. Nice to meet you.
Leila
I am from Kortrijk. Houthalen.
Houthalen? - That is above Hasselt.
I live in Brussels but originally from Ghent
Okay, cool.
Super. - You seem a bit like that.
You look a lot like that actor from...
The Limburg actor. - Yes, I think so too.
What is his name? - I forgot.
He has an Italian name.
Matteo Simoni? Yes, yes.
That's funny, because quite a few people have said that.
"It's mainly about how you talk. That's Limburgish, probably."
I am teaching.
And what do you teach? - I teach mathematics.
Oops, oops. What are you doing?
COLMAR
Also interesting.
I am a technical advisor I work for Pukkepop
Cool.
I worked at Muziekodroom for a long time in Limburg.
Now I provide technical advice for..
As a stage manager, I started out and now I am still doing that.
So you also had a bit of corona. - That was no fun.
That was really nothing.
PARACETAMOL
Friends, today can immediately yield a lot of money.
For your first assignment, time is of the essence.
You are about to leave in a moment and must return exactly one hour later.
Stop the clock next to me. 00:00.
But there is more.
You are also going to have to make a very important decision here.
One for which you still have some time left over.
So I wouldn't linger on the way too long.
The time starts running at exactly 12 o'clock.
Success, friends.
For their first assignment, the candidates must estimate time.
One hour. They may be two minutes off.
The clock that they have to push over shortly.
Is two kilometers away from both groups.
Every candidate who arrives within the time,
is worth 500 euros.
A lot. - A compass, a glass of water.
The 100 meter. That's Usain Bolt.
There are some tools lying around.
They all indicate very short periods of time.
But what do you estimate as worth spending an hour on?
Usain Bolt, the 100 meter, 9 seconds 61.
Wow, you know that well. Yes, yes, I know it.
A smoke detector, I don't really understand.
Ah yes, we need to light those candles and see when they go out.
Maybe that... I don't know
Paracetamol.
Solved within 30 seconds, that's also a way to count.
After 30 seconds there is a road You have a glass of water here
Isn't it going off? That's it, the battery is dead.
Ah yes, that will also be every few seconds.. - Every few seconds there is a beep.
Guys, if you need time, let me know.
Maybe we should do it with the clock.
In the other group, they choose the smoke detector.
They use the grandfather clock to time how often the alarm goes off.
The other group is using the video of Usain Bolt.
To determine the exact time of the hourglass.
The hourglass is 30 seconds, that is half a minute.
Half a minute that is 120 times flipping over.
32
A strange number. Such a strange number.
What is strange about that?
The clock is almost striking twelve o'clock.
This is definitely about 30 seconds. - Yes, yes.
So after 112 beeps, I've been waiting for an hour.
Attention, friends.
It's midnight.
The time starts in three, two, one.
The two groups have left.
Okay, one.
They can earn 4,000 euros if they reach the end of the journey.
Push the clock to one o'clock, with a margin of two minutes.
The clock can only be pushed down once.
So the groups will have to match at the finish.
Seven.
Do you know what we're going to do when we reach ten?
Then I will change the finger on which I wear my ring.
That will be ten. What do you think? - Yeah, but yeah.
At the age of fifty, I still did statistics.
Because data... Everything is data now
Do you like all those numbers? - Yes, I think that's cool.
That's ridiculous, but this year I'm starting my 36th year of teaching.
But we also live at house number 36.
Wow, 36 6 squared, that's where I am.
But that will pass. I mean...
Eight candidates are hiking.
But for the last two, the journey starts in a very different way.
Dear friends
It is time to face each other.
Hello.
Toos There are many of us.
I have a question.
Do you always respond so easily to offers over the phone?
Did I accept an offer?
Your ticket for episode 1 is hereby confirmed.
Do you also want a ticket for episode 2 right away?
Pay attention.
Do you want to have the chance to win an exemption in the first episode?
Even if this exemption involves a great risk for yourself?
Then press 1 as soon as possible.
Shit.
A big risk for myself.
Yes, of course.
I think I don't really want to take any risks for myself.
Then press 1 as soon as possible.
No.
I'm not going to take the risk.
I'm not going to lose large amounts of money in the first episode.
I am going in front of the group.
I take the risk.
I press 1.
A risk for myself.
That may have been printed too quickly.
Of all the candidates who have applied by phone.
Were you the fastest two?
That is a very clear choice.
An exemption then.
I only have one.
and we have two candidates
Is it just me or does that call for an old-fashioned duel?
The winner of the duel gets the exemption
But the loser is faced with a big problem.
If you lose this duel.
Are you disappearing from the game and only coming back at the end of this episode?
That means he will have to take the elimination test.
With very little information about your fellow candidates.
I hope for a heroic duel.
I wish you both good luck.
Knowledge of human nature
I'll give it a try Who else?
I would like to do that too - "Both of you?"
The two walking groups are now standing at a first task.
They both need to send two representatives.
they have to succeed in that task before they can proceed.
If they cannot do it, then those candidates have to stay behind.
And that obviously costs money.
Because each candidate is worth 500 euros.
Teacher, you are working with people.
I prefer to stay in the background. I don't know.
Ok, I'll sacrifice myself then.
Their task is to match eight statements to the eight candidates.
Only if they all hang correctly, may they proceed.
That's you, for sure.
I have an Instagram account about mathematics, that's correct.
So that is definitely correct.
The candidates who are waiting, keep track of the time.
and may decide to leave at any time.
But that does mean leaving two candidates behind.
and therefore at least 1,000 euros.
We can also walk on.
Okay, Steve.
If you love your students, everything will be fine. That's from me.
Is that your favorite shirt?
It is quite special.
It's from my neighbor-who-passed-away. I got it from her closet.
Not stolen. We bought the neighbor's house.
including all the furniture
That was a shirt hanging in the cupboard.
So it is hers. It is to pay tribute to my neighbor.
I have never found the mole in all those years. Oops.
I've never been right in all those years of De Mol.
So maybe I have no people skills at all.
I have always been wrong.
That is exactly Matteo Simoni. That is not Matteo Simoni.
Alright, I think so.
Look at him, they put those glasses on him.
What is his job again?
He works for Pukkelpop.
I am afraid of small spaces.
I discovered that on the tanning bed. - That's me.
I really thought I was going to die.
I had the feeling that I couldn't leave because I couldn't get up suddenly.
I had the feeling that I couldn't leave BECAUSE I COULDN'T GET UP SUDDENLY on the sunbed.
I had the feeling that I couldn't leave because I couldn't get up right away
It was also my first time.
I never did it again either.
Real error, just an error.
I never make a dessert again
Who? It's not going to be the pastry shop guest.
Yes, maybe. I never make a dessert again.
Hi, I have to do it again Maybe it has always worked out right away.
Hanging the statements correctly may seem like gambling, but it's not.
Because there is a walkie talkie hanging on both signs.
To discuss with the other board.
A walkie-talkie that hangs right in their sight.
I wanted to go to the Netherlands because I had met a girl there.
That's me. Ah, okay.
My first love.
For my thesis, I initially went to The Hague.
I was doing my thesis.
Originally departed to The Hague.
I am disappointed because I had a 14 for my thesis.
Originally departed to The Hague.
For my thesis, I originally went to The Hague.
to go work in a coffee shop
I thought: As an anthropologist, I'd like to study that.
But from day 1 I had forgotten a very important detail.
That is that the passive smoke came in very hard.
So I was high from the beginning to the end.
I couldn't write anything down I forgot everything.
Someone gave me 20 and I gave back 50. I was as high as fuck.
I'm not going to let them play for another ten minutes after all.
At 40, so are we leaving in 20 minutes?
At 40 we're leaving Just five more to go.
Otherwise, we have to go alone.
Yes, but each of them is worth 500 euros. I wouldn't do that just like that.
Really round it up to 40? Two more times after this.
There is something here, look Oh my God.
We can communicate. But really.
Hello, can you hear me? Hello.
Yes, hello. Hello.
We have statements here.
I see a young Muslim woman hanging at the board here.
I am the Muslim woman.
My pronunciation is: I am afraid of small spaces.
Okay, yes.
May I know which statement is yours?
Come on, boy, hurry up. How long can it take, man?
I think that people can sometimes cry too much about things.
I have also experienced all sorts of things.
My uncle died early.
My parents had a ten-year-long high-conflict divorce.
Then you can say: Poor me.
But you can also say: Okay, let's go.
Fire in the pan and go
We now went to the next rooms.
We have to make sure we meet the deadline.
The man with the glasses and the blue sweater.
Embarrassment, I don't know that. I also don't mind being rejected.
Thomas and Leïla have succeeded in hanging all the statements correctly.
So their group remains complete.
Hello?
Are we leaving then? Then we are leaving.
Who knows, they might still be on the phone for another hour.
Currently, we don't have anything useful from it. We are gone.
Whose quote is it: I have never found the mole in all those years?
Conny and Samya are left behind in the snow.
They are out of the game.
That already means losing 1,000 euros.
Traitors We're almost finished
We can't smell that.
You can still talk on the phone for another half hour.
We already gave you extra time. Focus, no nonsense.
Well, we'll remember that.
Lieselot and Toos are ready for their duel.
They are not shooting at each other, but at each other's reflection.
Whoever touches the mirror of the other person first,
gets the exemption on hand.
The loser is eliminated from the game for the entire episode.
One bullet, One chance to win the duel.
to lose.
Do you have it?
They have already counted 63 beeps from the smoke alarm.
According to this group, almost 34 minutes should have elapsed.
I am sometimes watching snakes after all. Why?
Those who are sitting here. Yes, for sure.
But they are well-behaved.
Slow daredevils
Two candidates must once again succeed in a task.
before they are allowed to continue their journey.
If that doesn't work, then they must stay behind.
And 1,000 euros will be lost.
"It will be as you say. You say that it's packed here with..."
With what? Snakes.
No, it's really true what I said. You see, I told you so.
I knew it.
Bring him to the right cage.
Slow daring ones, two candidates.
Who is going to play? There aren't many other options, man.
The candidates are accompanied by a little friend.
Damn it.
I really can't do that, young man.
In one group they should have a spider and in the other group a snake.
Bring to the cage with the correct name.
While they are wearing a hat with a very sensitive motion sensor.
So it has to be very calm.
When the alarm goes off, they need to return to their starting position.
I feel like you should try to hold your head very straight.
Your head has to absorb those shocks. That's it.
There you go, that was already bad.
Okay, I'm going to catch that animal.
Are they tame? They are tame, right?
That's strange.
For a game, I always sit in the go-go group.
But ultimately, I won't cry afterwards if my team loses.
Will I get frustrated with Jos if Jos is really struggling?
And struggling on purpose? Yes, probably.
But.
It's a snake.
Does it have a pointed nose? I definitely prefer the kingsnake.
Steve.
I'm going for... Fuck.
You can't be serious.
No, no. Hold the board.
Come on, boy, fasten your seat belt. Stay seated, friend.
To find the right cage, there is an information board for each group.
Grass snake
Hello, is anyone there? Hello
Long-nosed snake, kingsnake, ground snake.
Kingsnake
Kingsnake Groundsnake
Hello, another group? Here is a sign, but it's about spiders.
Here is a sign, but it's about spiders. Hello, other group?
Have you tried calling them yet? - No one is answering.
Hello, is someone there? Hello
That's useless. That helmet, it's making me feel silly.
I spend a lot of time alone.
My mom says: You need to stop saying goddamn.
Because one day God will punish you.
At that moment I said, "Goddammit, God does not exist."
Two seconds after I said that.
A bird pooped on my forehead.
At the slightest touch of a stone, it's ruined.
Ruben's alarm keeps going off constantly.
and doesn't touch the walkie.
So Lancelot decides to take a chance.
Not on wolf spider, not on rose hair tarantula.
But about the Arizona blonde tarantula.
If it's correct, the animal caretaker will give a sign.
Correct? Yes.
I knew it, blonde, it looked like it Come on, boy, keep spinning.
Because you are really losing a lot of time.
That's not 87, right? 88.
Make it 90. I feel better about that.
What is that, mate? Thank you, madam.
Good luck with the spiders Well done.
Come on, mate, we're on the move again. - Yes, 91.
Lancelot and Ruben have flipped the hourglass 91 times.
According to their count, now more than 45 minutes have passed.
To make the assignment successful,
They may not be off by more than two minutes later.
In the other group, Matteo is standing by the kingsnake's basket.
Blessed
Yes, they're ready. How much time do we have left?
We have lost a lot of time with those snakes.
Both groups are now rushing towards the finish line.
Yes.
That will be a decision of a second that we have to make.
We don't have much left We still have six minutes
Then we have to hurry.
Hi hi.
Dear friends, welcome.
Not as numerous as expected but I'm glad to see you.
Stopping time, you can do it in a moment by pressing one of these two buttons.
May I introduce you to Toos and Lieselot?
LIESELOT Toos and Lieselot
Lieslot The winner of that duel.
It's up to you to figure out who that is.
The candidates are facing an important decision.
They should not only estimate the time.
They also need to guess who won the duel.
Only if they assess the time and the winner correctly.
Do they earn money?
I would say, let's get acquainted Ask intelligent questions. Success
The other group is almost here now.
Soon they can help to make the right choices.
The clock can only be pushed once.
Hello Toos and Lieselot. I actually think we don't have time.
We don't have time, so we will have to do it very quickly.
We had to shoot at a target.
That was great! Lieselot has won.
I can't shoot I was faster, but missed my target.
She had all the time in the world to.
I have never shot in my entire life. Take your time to aim carefully and hit the target.
Toos and Lieselot are pointing at each other a lot.
The winner of the duel absolutely does not want to be unmasked.
Because then the exemption may be lost.
I say Toos, and now we will have to push. Who do you say?
I have never shot a gun in my life Press Toos and you'll have money.
She has the exemption No, insist on Toos, really.
I missed. We'll have to push.
I missed. We will have to push.
I will tell him. She had all the time to shoot.
She had all the time. No nonsense.
The clock stopped due to two candidates.
The budget for the assignment is only 1,000 euros.
The other group arrives unsuspectingly.
Hello. - Hello.
I am Steve.
Leila
We were also counting and according to us it was time to push.
We didn't even discuss.
Do you think you have been sitting for an hour already?
We haven't pushed time forward yet, so to speak. Have you already pushed time forward as well?
Yes, we pushed off.
Sorry, we don't know the result yet.
"So we can't print anymore - We can't do anything anymore."
The time has stopped.
You think that Toos has the exemption in her pocket.
But is it true?
Do you have it?
Damn it
Congratulations, I think that's good for you.
Fuck, what stress Well done
I'm so sorry You did really well
Yes... Anyway, I will do my best on the test.
If I can give you some information, I will give it.
It's going well, it's going well
Good choice But now it's getting exciting
If you were within the time,
you'll be revoking the exemption and will earn money.
If you were outside of time,
then Toos keeps his exemption and you guys earn nothing.
The moment of truth.
Either the candidates earn money,
either Toos has definitively secured his exemption.
Everything now depends on the estimation of the hour.
You had an hour with two minutes of leeway.
Shall we have a look?
Sure, gladly.
53:52
Sorry.
Allee
You were siting really well. - You were right.
You were really too early. It's also way off.
You're right No, you're right
Toos, congratulations. - Thank you.
Congratulations That one is definitely yours.
Wow, you are really happy But well
I thought I got rid of them.
Ruben and Lancelot, you have left two people behind.
It might be time to involve them as well.
Sorry. Sorry, really.
It's not a good day, leaving people and everything messed up.
And did that yield anything? No.
We were too early. We were even too early.
We left you behind far too early.
I'll introduce myself first. Samya -Leila
Steve, you were called Matteo Simoni.
That was also said here. This is already the second time.
Dear friends End of the first assignment
Toos, you have exemption left, congratulations for that.
You may go to the group. - Thank you.
Congratulations, Toos.
So far the good news The group fund remains empty, you all know that.
For Lieselot, there is more bad news. No.
Lieselot lost the duel.
disappears from the game and only returns at the end of this episode
Just before the elimination test.
You have all received a proposal by phone.
for an exemption it was stated clearly:
Choosing for yourself is not without danger.
Lieselot, you have taken that risk.
The introduction will have to wait a little longer.
We will see you again just before the elimination
Shit.
Wow, that really sucks -Spicy.
For Lieselot, it's a heavy burden.
The rest of the group can finally get to know each other extensively.
Steve
What is your name? I am not following.
Hello Steve. Steve still needs to recover.
I have to say it now, it has been said twice already.
It's crazy, two drops.
Crazy, huh. It's insane, really insane.
Not normal.
You are Matteo Simoni. It's obvious.
Sorry. - Do you mind?
That is definitely a compliment - I'm just going to say it.
Is it him? Sure.
Really? That's so dumb.
Ik kan 2.000 euro verdienen voor de pot als ik dat de hele dag doe...
But you were really: he is it.
I had already accepted that it looked extremely similar.
Should I have persevered? But yeah, of course.
I stopped asking questions about it. - You could have persevered.
Actually, you broke me. - That's really sad to hear.
Sorry. But come on.
- Come on. Sorry.
Sorry. But well.
That's him. That's him.
Today, it was possible to earn 6,000 euros already.
but because they stopped the clock too early
And because Matteo was exposed, the group pot remains empty.
U
As darkness falls over Arizona,
The candidates are leaving the prairie.
And they set course for their first sleeping location, Sedona.
How cool is it that we are on the road with Matteo Simoni.
It's strange to say now: The Matteo.
You are also a little fan - I am a big fan of Matteo
Are you a bit starstruck?
I find him the best Belgian actor they have.
That is super cute.
I would watch a series because he is in it.
I don't have any posters of Matteo hanging in my room.
Except for my keychain.
I've been shouting from the rooftops for ten years that I want to do it.
If I ever can participate, I will participate in De Mol.
So naive we are as a group.
We look at each other and say: He looks like Matteo, oh yes
But yes, that is possible.
If I tell my children Matteo Simoni was there
Do you know them then? Very well.
I have unmasked him.
That they didn't see that. Really.
After an hour and a half drive, the candidates arrive in Sedona.
They take up residence in a villa just outside the city.
These are really classy rooms.
Keimooi. That's super fun. - It's pretty cool.
Who are you going to sleep with? I don't mind.
It's four rooms. I'm already going to place the pillow like this.
That seems to have already been claimed.
Who is allowed to sleep over at Matteo's?
I felt like I could sleep next to Matteo tonight.
But I saw Ruben looking and I said I'm going to let Ruben sleep next to Matteo.
Are you here? - Doing well. Good for me.
Yes... Not really that special, I think.
I am just going to consider it as sleeping with another candidate.
Wow, that is a good bed.
I still have my thermal underwear on. Me too.
I don't have pajamas with me, I think. I always sleep in a T-shirt.
I will also sleep in a T-shirt.
I would still like you to sleep in a T-shirt.
That's good. That will be all right.
Have you seen Lieselot's message yet?
Dearest fellow candidates You all look like a fantastic group.
I can't wait to join you
And so you can get to know you better. See you soon, Lieselot.
Are we going to put her with us? - Yes, certainly.
Yes, that is good Honorable position
Wow, it's a real bummer for her. - Wow, definitely.
Do you like America, guys? - Absolutely.
Are there people who are happy that they were not the fastest printers?
"Now that they know how it fits together? Yes?"
Yes, because I wouldn't have liked to go another day without being able to talk to people.
That was difficult for you. - That was for me.
I think it's a super cool group.
It's very diverse and that's great.
It is: You are Matteo, the actor and that is Thomas, the teacher.
And that is Commy who is a gynecologist.
I think it's really cool to be in the middle of it and play that game.
Then you said: How much is 23 times 26?
Dear friends, here we are sitting now.
We have departed I hope you enjoyed the day.
We're not going to call the day very successful zero out of 6,000.
A bit of a missed start.
Even if there is someone who thinks that's all fine.
That's a zero amount.
I thought it was played a little too fast.
They left those two girls behind to arrive ten minutes early.
Traitors We are almost finished.
We can't smell that.
I have a lot of questions.
That hourglass thing might not have been the right method
to register the time
Usain Bolt would feel offended if I said that.
Nine seconds, we'll round that up to ten.
is het geen accurate meting van tijd.
It didn't seem right.
Would they make the first Famous Flemish person to participate in De Mol, the mole?
Those are things I still need to think about.
I don't understand how he as good actor
gives up so quickly
knowing he could have brought something positive
If you accept a film role, you'll be busy for months.
to get the sentences in the correct dialect
Here it was: just join in.
Those worlds didn't go well together for me I found that extremely difficult.
He can really play whatever he wants.
He may say no and be so much himself with us
I think, if he has prepared for it.
that he can play it very well
Your search for the Mole has begun.
And I think there is only one way.
to make it official
And that is Mole notebooks.
Of course. I have ten of them.
You may choose who picks which color.
I only want to say one thing Lieselot's favorite color is pink.
You can do whatever you want with it. We're going to let her have it.
Then she gets pink - Please.
May I just take one? Yes, go ahead.
Just not the green one. Is this one good? Yes?
Fantastic
Shall we end this beautiful day, dear friends, with a toast?
About you and the conquest of America.
Plaice
We toast here with the mole.
How is that possible? That's not possible.
Good morning.
No.
The candidates wake up in their villa in Sedona.
and discover the surroundings now also in daylight.
And that is a true delight for the eye.
That is really super beautiful.
This is how I want to wake up every morning. I hope we stay here for a little while longer.
Yes.
Yes:
Yes.
There they are But really
And the rest is having breakfast.
You guys think you can chill in the hot tub and we'll bring you breakfast?
You never cook? I hate cooking.
And I grew up in a restaurant - You don't say.
In Mons? And what type of cuisine is it?
Tunisian
Wow, that's a lot of bacon. Those Americans.
Ruben, good morning. Good morning.
Wow, that's a special way of cooking bacon that you have.
It's quite sad. Yes.
It's as if she really isn't here anymore - It's a bit funereal
Is that her butcher shop? I don't know.
I think so. That photo seemed to be like that.
If you pose so determinedly with your deli meats in the photo, then it is yours.
Then she's not doing an internship.
He doesn't do that in someone else's business, taking a photo and such.
On the first day of the internship.
Lieselot, can you stop taking pictures and continue?
Good morning, everyone Good morning
Did you sleep well? Yes.
How is the atmosphere? Good. Really good.
Great. We won't waste any time and immerse ourselves right away.
in the wonderful culture of the United States
the word of the day, dear friends, is
linedance
I think that's great I do want to line dance.
I want to do that too. - I like to dance.
We are going to split up.
Five candidates choosing to do the line dance of Will Tura.
And the four others who are bigger fans of Johnny Cash's Walk the Line.
Your choice Walk the line will be a walking tour.
About walking on a tightrope between two cliffs. - I would like to do the second one.
I also. I have done gymnastics, stability.
I also never dance, but I don't know if I have that balance.
I have a lot of balance I will also dance
I can't dance at all so it's going to be super funny
Blessed
Dear friends, I would say, do your best so that money is earned today.
Are we leaving? Come along.
Guys, do it well. Come on, guys.
Toi toi. Success.
They have divided themselves: four candidates are driving into the mountains.
The other five are expected at a ranch just outside Sedona.
I have said it.
Those two with their hat. They are fantastic indeed.
We will be able to learn something from that. I think so too.
I thought: I'll start already.
Friends, may I introduce you to Annette and Ginny.
Goedemorgen Hello. Nice to meet you.
They're going to give you an express course in line dancing today.
That is incredibly popular here.
You will obviously demonstrate that you can handle it perfectly.
There is money at stake: 2,500 euros Hopla.
Everyone is going to dance.
But two of you will have to do the final and most difficult dance.
Who feels called? Yes.
You always say that you can dance well.
I like dancing, but I've never claimed to be good at it.
How do you feel about it? - I can dance.
Opinion, Leila?
As long as I don't dance...
Maybe it would be cool to have a man and a woman at the end
Conny and Thomas, okay, perfect. - I'm completely on board.
To earn money, they have to perform flawlessly soon.
Linedancing to four country classics.
Not everyone is born for that.
After the turn we turn.
Hop. And now?
I find it so unnatural if you Turn to the left?
That you need to turn left while using your right foot.
At that moment, you place on the left and still need to place on the right.
You turn right, left, I think
Just put on some music.
For Conny and Thomas there is soon an extra difficult variation.
Here.
And what's more, the consequences of incorrect dance steps
They will be felt far beyond Sedona.
The other four drove straight through the Coconino National Forest.
At least we are sitting high We are really high up.
They arrive at a unique location,
Which is called here the edge of the world, the edge of the world.
Look down, boys.
Because that's very beautiful but do you see that?
But of course, they are not just here to enjoy the view.
It's tightrope walking.
How is that possible? I don't understand how you can do that.
That's not possible.
Above this terrifying abyss
They will have to walk one by one over the slackline.
and meanwhile five precious coins,
Each time you have to put 1,000 euros into a piggy bank.
The last one leaving, will have to pick up the pig.
To secure the money.
So the order in which they go is crucial.
Toos, you already said that you were not good at balancing
You immediately said: I am not good at balance.
Are you well balanced?
When you are big, you have less balance.
I have already done it. How did it go?
I did a backflip and fell on my neck.
That is not a reference.
I climb too, so I am familiar with such pants and stuff.
You're actually pretty good at these things?
I have an okay stability because I did gymnastics/turned.
But that's different than... Do you understand?
But then I can go first and you go last You also have to jump on the blocks and such...
Walked on those thin beams No, because I have done tumbling.
I would put Commy.
"You go last. - I would also dare to put Commy."
Toos, you go first Then I think Samina.
Samya.
That is really not easy.
We're going to give you all the tips we have and you're going to rock it.
You are going to do really well. I have complete faith in you.
Come on Everything will be all right.
It is Comfort who has the most important task.
gets assigned. She goes last.
and later on, the pig needs to be disconnected from the slackline.
and bring it to the shore to actually collect the money.
The others must first fill the piggy bank now.
A matter of balance.
but also a bit of the right dance moves.
Because as soon as the first candidate starts on the slackline,
They also start dancing at the ranch.
And at every dance mistake
is the piggy bank being pulled two meters backwards.
Toos is going first.
He has five 200 euro coins in his pocket.
And has time as long as the dance lasts.
Come on, Toos I'll do my best.
I have the feeling that he can do it. I don't know why.
I also think he can do that.
But he always has a lot of self-confidence.
Dear dancers, it's time.
Annette will judge with her red flag when she sees a mistake
We start with Jambalaya by John Fogerty
I wish you good luck.
The first song they're dancing to is the slowest of the four.
If they don't make any mistakes, they earn 500 euros.
That was exciting.
It was a bit tricky.
It doesn't look that simple sorry to say
Now you still have two hands. Now comes the crucial point.
That's what I mean You really need to do this at your own pace
Toos is at the piggy bank.
He now has to use one hand to hold his wooden coins.
To deposit one by one.
So he only has one hand left to stay balanced.
Yes
Oh my God, well done
The last one, guys.
Blissful
Great job!
Toos has put all his coins in the piggy bank.
Now a backflip.
No errors.
The dancers have also remained flawless and deserve 500 euros.
The first money in the group pot.
Did we clap at the same time?
She already said that there were no mistakes.
Darn, it's instant regret that we didn't choose him as the last one.
Finally, no... - I already found that weird.
He seemed so unsure.
I now regret that I went first. I should have gone last.
Damn it.
You shouldn't be afraid It's really wobbling hard
but that is normal That was the same for me too.
Come on, hey Come on, Samya
Okay.
You can do it.
Samya, do you want us to encourage you or do you prefer us to be silent?
Maybe be quiet. Ca va, okay.
You're welcome.
You can do it.
In the second song, the tempo is slightly higher.
What am I doing with myself?
Come on, Samya.
Lancelot claps his hands too early.
The 500 euros from this dance are lost.
On the slackline, the little pig goes two meters backwards.
Shit, the pig. That's nothing, that's nothing.
Once you can do it, he can do it.
Oh my God.
And a few seconds later, the pig goes backwards again.
A second dance mistake by Lancelot.
Makes Samya's ordeal even longer.
But come on That's not possible
What are they doing?
Now the switch, one hand.
Yes, she does it well.
Top.
Where is this?
Thick ball.
May I go until the end? You can turn around and go back.
I will never be able to spin. You are really asking too much of me.
No worries, guys, there's still another dance coming.
Too bad.
There is now 2,000 euros in the piggy bank.
Comfort should disconnect and put aside soon.
and begins to get nervous.
I cannot test much. If I test and it does not work, then I fall.
You'll see it when you get there. That's going to hang very high if I do it.
You will see it when he has been there.
When I've passed it and I return, I'll finally do it.
Try it once.
The piggy bank is hung back in the starting position.
And Ruben can now try to collect money last.
Come on. Go ahead, Ruben.
For you three, this is the last dance.
This is the last dance for you three.
Nancy Sinatra These boots are made for walking
That is a bit faster.
Just breathe
Matteo made a mistake. 500 euros will be lost.
Don't move. No.
Concentrate
Like this again.
The same system.
Be quick
Just at the moment that Ruben deposits his coins,
follows a new dance mistake.
Kak.
How many mistakes can they fucking make, man.
Come on, let's not ruin it, fucking country dancers.
Keep on dancing, guys. Keep on dancing.
In tempo, please.
Okay
Great job!
Well done, man. Hats off.
Ruben filled the piggy bank up to 3,000 euros.
You did a great job. Test the little piggy.
Ah yes, Ruben.
No
Commy, now it's your turn. You haven't tested the piglet.
You didn't shout it. Yes, we did.
It will work.
You can see that it's succeeding. Come on.
At the ranch it's now time for the last dance, the hardest one.
Conny and Thomas practiced it for a long time.
Back, back.
but have it well under control.
The last dance, Conny, Thomas.
Will Tura, Come, Do the Linedance There's 1,000 euros at stake.
I wish you all success.
Comfort now bears the heavy task.
to release the piglet and take it along.
Only then do they earn the 3,000 euros inside it.
Come on Come on, Commy
Come on Commy, may we cheer you on or not?
Don't encourage too much. - Okay.
Thomas makes a mistake.
And the 1,000 euro bet has already been lost.
A second dance mistake quickly follows, this time by Conny.
The 1,000 euros was already gone.
Fuck.
But for comfort, it does have consequences.
But those dancers Well, how can that be now?
You're doing really well. That little piece will work too.
I'm really super proud of you.
Oh my God, it's been moved again.
I do want to know who was the last one later. Those are already three mistakes.
That hook is really hanging high.
Try to raise both hands as high as possible.
Grab the rope as high as possible and hold it tightly with strength.
Yes. - Okay, well done.
Take a deep breath if necessary.
We are going to be silent for a moment.
Comfort needs to untie the pig from the top rope.
Just she is the smallest of the group.
That detachment is real.
Don't drop it.
That's nothing, you're still standing.
Pata
Just stay calm, take it easy.
Go ahead.
I just can't get it off. When I pull, I am super unstable.
Fuck.
She loses her balance and the piggy bank is out of reach now.
3,000 euros is lost.
I want to go back.
Sorry
Conny and Thomas also miss out on 1,000 euros due to their dancing mistakes.
I have to say that it is... What?
Well attempted Chocolate in the legs, couldn't go on anymore
We could do it. We could do it incredibly well.
I want to show it tonight.
Me too. A party.
Three errors seen.
Three mistakes, two by Conny and one by Thomas.
Indeed
The group pot remains as is, 500 euros.
Nevertheless, thank you for this beautiful afternoon performance.
And an applause for yourselves and for Annette.
It was really good. You have been standing there for a long time.
Not really a problem I really couldn't anymore.
I'm really bummed out.
I couldn't unhook it. You saw it.
It really sucks.
So be it. Sorry, we are also feeling disappointed but it's not directed at you.
But we are also getting frustrated.
But don't blame yourself. Don't really blame yourself.
A crazy experience Let's look at it that way.
We will never forget the view, right?
We will never see those 3,000 euros.
No, sorry. Rub it in again.
500 euros, it's not a lot yet.
But there is, with some delay, still something in the group pot.
The red phone.
Hello. - Hello, Lieselot.
The choice is: money or no money.
After two eventful days, the candidates can relax for a bit.
with a hike and a picnic in the red rock landscape of Sedona.
Look how beautiful. Insanely beautiful.
A bit like The Lion King here.
Lieselot
That she's sitting in a tent making fire.
Not being able to wash her hair for three days.
Wow, check this out.
That is worth the effort.
For the people who feel like having a fruit salad.
There is also a dip with cream cheese.
But how do you open that?
At the top. At the bottom.
Hi, there are usually people for that. That is all already open for him.
You're becoming my girlfriend. - "Yes, I think so too."
Who wants to try? I'll give it a try.
After their picnic, they return to the villa.
There is an elimination laptop. - That is Lieselot's book.
Oh my God. Name: Lieselot.
Ai ai ai.
What is this?
The red phone It's starting again.
Leila Wait, stop.
Leila. Wait, hold on.
Leila Wait, let...
Ready/Soon
Dear, the elimination test of Lieselot starts in exactly 30 minutes.
Please hold the line. You will be transferred in a moment.
Would someone take over? It's causing me stress.
Ruben.
Hello. - Hello, Lieselot
Can I speak to someone from West Flanders on the phone?
She asks a person from West Flanders.
Blessed
Hello Lieselot. How are you? Good. Not so good actually.
I am in the caravan in your garden.
And I should get out of it.
Lieselot's elimination test starts in less than 30 minutes.
The traditional test with twenty questions about the mole
She determines whether she can stay or has to go home.
Only Lieselot doesn't know anything about the past few days.
Except for Toos, she doesn't even know the name of anyone.
If the group frees her on time,
Lieselot can still prepare a little bit.
Getting to know the others and asking them questions
About the assignments, for example.
If the group doesn't free her within half an hour,
Her test will become pure guesswork.
May I speak to Toos again? Toos? Yes.
Hey Lieselot. - Hey Toos.
Do you remember when you said that you would help me?
If I can give you any information, I will give it.
It's going fine, it's going fine.
That's true. I want to get out of here as soon as possible.
Because I have to take that test immediately and I'm not looking forward to it.
I don't even know what the others are called.
I get it, but I am not here alone.
We are currently nine here. We are going to discuss and do it as soon as possible.
Okay
What did Lieselot say on the phone?
She played with my emotions because we saw each other.
We had said: We will help each other, but that sucks. But that was before the test.
I responded: I am not here alone I cannot convince all of you
I understand her. If I had been in her shoes, I would have asked the same thing.
I'm going to see how heavy this is.
Damn, dude.
Lieselot has an additional argument for being liberated: money.
She can earn up to 3,000 euros.
by lifting this heavy block of 25 kilograms.
As long as she does that, her money clock keeps ticking.
As soon as she puts it down, the object lies on a button.
And the money clock stops.
Man, that is heavy.
The money is obviously only earned.
If Lieselot is liberated within time.
Well important information when I was on the line.
Did they say: The time is running now
Ah, it has begun. We need to free them to have money.
As late as possible
Can we first look at the clock? We have time until quarter past.
No, no time until quarter past. We've been chatting for at least five minutes already.
To free Lieselot,
Do they just need the key to the caravan.
But the only information about where to find that key,
hangs with Lieselot
And the information should be taken quite literally.
They need to find the key within the time limit.
behind the hands of this clock.
The key is to search as quickly as possible now and then we can still consider all options.
What is our maximum time?
Lieselot? Are you actually going to come and rescue me?
I can hear in your breath that not everyone is up for it.
It is definitely the intention to free you - Yes, but within time
And preferably a little earlier. - Don't you have a clock hanging there?
I have a clock hanging How much time do we have left?
Still twelve minutes.
It's more than twenty minutes.
but by saying twelve minutes,
Lieselot hopes to get some more speed in it.
The faster she is freed, the more time she has left
to somewhat prepare herself for her elimination test.
We have twelve minutes left. We only have twelve minutes left.
We thought we had a little more left - No, that clock is really fast.
But my money clock is also going up quickly.
In the meantime, I will keep holding up the block. It's a very heavy block.
Do you have any more information about where the key could be located?
No, but you are many to search.
Okay, thank you.
Are we sure she's holding onto that block? For all we know, she's not holding onto anything.
and she just said that so that we would rescue her
For the same money, she might be holding a rubber duck.
Sorry, that's information we don't know.
Let's search for some information.
While Lieselot searches through her caravan,
The great search for the key also begins in the house.
Everyone agrees to find that one first.
And only then decide about the fate of Lieselot.
The house is being completely turned inside out.
Imagine it sticking in the minced meat.
Is it beneath that block?
No
Does she not have any tips for that key?
That must be here, I also think so.
Key, a key.
Lieselot, take a really good look around.
Is there something there? I really, really don't see anything.
Nothing? So it's just empty then?
Cabinets, I have already looked inside There are heads inside
There is tea inside.
Tea bags?
Sugar things.
Sugar things
A lighter A lighter
And something about Mary, Jesus - About Mary, Jesus
Where did those tips suddenly come from out of nowhere?
That's what she sees around herself in the caravan
We are going to search very thoroughly again. I will call you back.
Your fellow candidates must find the key within the given time.
Hello I just saw a piece of paper hanging:
Your fellow candidates have to find the keys within the given time.
She has a paper and it says
Your fellow candidates must find the key within the time limit.
Key within the time.
Within time - Look behind that clock or something
Look at that clock.
I have looked for it. I was also thinking: Do you see an s.
I don't think that's it.
Are there any clocks left somewhere? She has a note with:
You need to have the key within time.
Within time In time, in the clock.
Is there another clock somewhere?
Am I blind? There's nothing there. That's what I was thinking too.
The oven also has a clock The microwave has a clock
You can't open it. Go look for a clock, people.
How many minutes do we still have? - Wait, I'm thinking.
Eight and a half minutes left.
Only eight and a half minutes left, guys.
Her clock is going very fast.
Lieselot, are you holding that block by now?
I am holding that block.
Very difficult with the phone pressed against my ear, between my shoulder and my ear.
I don't understand. If it's a riddle, I really don't understand it.
Your fellow candidates must find the key within the given time.
Man
That is the only clock.
Shall we just remove the battery?
But yeah, and then? Within the time.
That is not a key.
Hello, it's Samya.
The only thing I have here...
Here, here. Oh dear.
Yes, here you go. Oh my God.
Oh my God, yes, here I am.
Jawel, hier: Yes, right here. Oh my God: Oh mijn God.
We have the key. We have it. YAM.
We have him. We have the key.
Come on. How much time do we have?
Who has held that clock before? I have held it from the first moment.
How much time do we have?
Five more minutes.
She has heard it now.
You did shout that you have the key.
It doesn't matter.
Still up to 1,000.
Look, if we want money and want to have it for sure, we free them now.
Then you can still choose not to give them any information.
I will give them information. - Fair enough.
Free her, otherwise.. Are we in agreement? I don't know.
Otherwise, we have nothing. We'll go for it.
I think that's a really dumb decision You're decreasing your chances
by giving her all the information
Not all information. I have as much information as you have.
She took the risk. She's there now, she chose to be there by herself.
Now you are decreasing your chances by freeing her. I'm not going against the group.
I'm not the group. You can choose yourself. I'm just giving my opinion.
We decide this together Personally, I think
She chose for herself at that time.
I think that we as a group now.. Her punishment is severe, but..
Not only she, but also she and he.
The choice is: money or no money.
We're in it for the money. - I mean, if she comes, we don't say anything.
Do you know exactly how many minutes we have? I don't think so.
Neither do I. What I do know is that if we leave now, we will have money.
Just open it I would set them free
Can't he go? Come on, go.
I'll help them. I'm going to tell them things.
Are we going with two? You don't have to tell them anything.
Come on. West Flemish.
Why are you letting him go? He is going to say things.
Why are you letting him go? He's going to say things.
He's here - Let's walk, walk. We don't have much time.
Hello. Hello. Are they almost here?
They have just left the house.
Are you saying that they are walking? Yes, we're coming.
Yes, thanks. Thank you.
It will be okay. It will be okay. It will be okay, yes.
Yes, here. We are here.
You're welcome.
Almost 1,000 euros. Okay.
Your chef keeps going, so let's hurry up and go there, so we can discuss it.
I am not going to give any information. - I am not going to do anything either.
I'm also not saying anything about the tests.
We may still say hello. Indeed.
I tried to stretch the time by asking: "What have you done" about her, nothing about us.
TWO
Two
What is everyone's name? - This is going to be very strange for you.
"But Matteo Simoni is there. The real one?"
Yes, it's the real one. - Really?
Hello
Super, thank you so much for freeing me.
Welcome. Samya.
The real Matteo Simoni apparently.
Everything good? I thought: He looks like him.
Hello. Conny
Tik, tik, tik
Hello Lieselot. I am going to start at the beginning first.
Have a seat. - What have you already done?
Did you already earn money? - Yes, but not much.
500 at the moment. - Plus my 930.
930, okay.
Why did he only earn 500? Where did it go wrong?
Yesterday, one group had to do linedancing and another group had to walk across a slackline.
A what?
Lieselot has barely five minutes left before her test starts.
Five minutes to grill the other candidates.
About the past few days.
The question is whether everyone is willing to give her that information.
And where have you been? I have been in my hotel for two days.
On my bed, thinking: What are they doing now? I want to go to that group.
Wow, that is really tough.
Do you regret pressing that button on the phone?
I will never apply for an exemption again. You can be sure of that.
Really never again. If I don't take the risk...
Time is up.
That means first and foremost that you are once again fully part of this group.
Thank you.
Merci
And not unimportant You bring €930 with you.
That means you have almost tripled the group fund.
But now it's time for your elimination test.
Twenty questions about the mole and what it has been doing in the past days.
That is never easy.
But certainly not for someone who has hardly experienced anything.
I wish you a lot of success, Lieselot Thank you.
Success.
The tactic was to spread out as much as possible.
But there were an enormous amount of questions that I had no clue about.
The color of the eyes, the color of the mole book
I didn't know all of that.
If you look at the total amount, I think the mole has already done a good job.
How much did they collect? Around 300?
And how many assignments have they not already done?
It has to be a very good mole.
Mannekes
I have so much stress in your place. I have a lot of respect for you. Wow.
I think it's crazy what you did. Really.
Super thanks for freeing me
You can sleep soundly on both ears if you can be there tomorrow.
Are you one of us. Thanks.
It would be nice if they say:
We will all stay together until the next one.
Shouldn't we agree on that?
I didn't understand anything of your conversation. I don't know what he wants to arrange.
It is in your advantage. It is okay.
That everyone is allowed to stay. - I agree with that.
It would be nice.
Lieselot is back and has earned money.
That means the group fund rises to 1,400 euros.
And she has already finished her test.
The other nine not yet.
During the opening task, Ruben was not always acting adequately.
by flipping the hourglass.
I had to point it out a few times.
Come on, keep spinning, young one 88
Make it 90. I feel better about that.
Lancelot wanted to press that button very quickly.
"We need to push, man. I'm telling him."
If he is the mole, he will probably know who has the exemption.
He can still put himself in a good position by pressing the right one.
But outside of time.
What was good for me because I was exempt.
But there was no money in the group pot.
So I found it an ideal position as a mole.
Samya hasn't contributed anything yet as a candidate.
The only thing that doesn't fit in the picture is that she's so engrossed in her little book.
and that is not consistent with the fact that she is the mole
But maybe she is hiding a little bit behind it.
Ruben, Toos and I have really done our best.
although the other group let us go further and further.
But come on That's not possible.
From our perspective, that was terrible.
Every time we started walking, the little pig always went further and further.
If the dance is so simple and you have practiced it so often.
That was not played well.
It's really difficult.
I had expected Matteo to do that flawlessly.
That's a very easy way to lose money, one wrong move.
The money has already been spent anyway.
Sorry. No, no.
It's because he's my buddy that I might not suspect him.
Perhaps a stupid choice.
Of course, he remains an actor, Matteo.
Comfort was too small to fit the piggy bank that was filled with 3,000 euros.
To bring to the side.
I just can't get it off.
Too small.
Ja
Actually a punishment.
Of course, if you molt, you know very well that you are just too small.
To pull off that little thing.
You can spend a long time on it, but it won't work anyway.
I had indicated a few times:
I'd rather not be the very last one after all, because then I'll have to carry the pig.
I would put Commy Are you going last?
That is really not easy.
Yet I end up in that last place that's a bit strange
I don't think anyone is currently suspecting Lieselot because of what you're thinking.
Who wants to be put alone in a room for two days?
If you can't sabotage or participate in anything?
As a mole, you won't do that, that's just too crazy.
But somewhere it's also super smart No one suspects you.
And you know what's to come You know: I can still take loads of money
The real Matteo Simoni apparently.
She was standing there, saying hello to everyone and she said all the names within a minute.
I found that very suspicious.
She also lied about the time we still had.
Understandable In her place, I would do the same.
But for her, it was very easy to lie.
How much time do we have left? Twelve more minutes.
That happened so naturally.
If I have to go home.
I would really regret that Not the first time, please
Don't do that to me. It's my own fault.
We are with ten The mole continues, that's nine.
And Toos has an exemption, which is eight.
One in eight that I'll be out That's 12.5 percent
Good evening, friends.
We will end the episode as we started, with all ten of us.
Because we are finally complete.
Even though that won't last much longer.
What is certain is that you are a very nice group.
I mean that.
What is also certain
That "De Mol" can be a risky game.
There is only a very small difference.
between sitting here comfortably with an exemption
or have to miss almost the entire episode
and barely able to start your search.
Lieselot, the system is known.
I am typing your name.
When the screen turns green, your comeback is complete.
When it turns red, it's over.
Thomas
Comfort
Leila
Matteo
Allee
That bad.
Come on, man, that's impossible.
That's not possible.
That is not possible.
Nothing to be done They were so good.
