Today, you take on the role of Mario.
Here, this one.
Yes, he's coming, it's right. We knew something.
The other four are going to race.
Rotten.
Throwing a banana.-
Chakka. - Come on.
What is, that? - Here, smell it.
You smell that? - Ew.
Watch out, watch out. - Oh my God.
Fuck, fuck, I got two pineapples.
I would stress in your place.
I don't know if I...
whether I'm going to believe your words just like that!
The dropout has a deal with the mole.
Are you stressed now that you're sitting here? - No, ça va.
Hands in the air for Coco.
Adiós, guapa. - Adiós.
VILVOORDE Six months ago
In connection with your visitor... - Yes.
That's going to be your mom.
Oh my God.
My mom gets to visit? Amazing. Delightful.
Oh, no. Really?
But my mom..... What is she supposed to do?
Ah okay, I can't choose that myself?
Okay, that's going to make my girlfriend very sorry about that.
Okay. But okay, good. That's going to be a lot of fun with our mom, too.
For the visit, your mom is coming. - Oh, no.
You'll regret that.
Really.
"I'm not your mom." Yasmine
After ten days in and around Catania
it is time to travel on to a new destination.
I always get sick in the car. - Oh no.
I worked at a bakery for years.
Then we always did the cookie round. I had to tag along on the job.
And every week I threw up two or three times in that car.
Oh, no. Really? - That you keep doing that.
I did that for eight years or so.
Today, the candidates drive to the other side of the island,
on their way to the historic site of Segesta.
A place that breathes history.
The ideal setting for a heroic mission.
The amphitheater.
That must have been amazing.
Dear friends, welcome to the amphitheater of Segesta
A legacy of the Greeks, who were here on Sicily for a long time.
We're going to honor those Greeks today
with a trip to the at least equally beautiful temple of Segesta,
here a little further on.-
here a little bit further on.
A journey full of afflictions and trials.
But fear not,
you will be assisted by none other than.....
Hercules.
The trip can bring 3,000 euros if everyone gets to the temple on time.
Or will finally a doubler be used?
Senne, that's a decision for you.
There are still two of the four doublers in play.
No, we'll keep it at 4,000.
The previous person in charge, Charlotte,
did not use any.
I don't have that on me. - I do mind that.
I'll pass them on to Senne today.
This time it's Senne's turn.
I'm not going to put them in yet, no.
They stay in your pocket? - Yes.
Good, then we'll stick with 3,000 euros.
The candidates go through a grueling journey of torment.
to the temple of Segesta.
They earn 3,000 euros if they stand at the temple
before the two columns of Hercules fall to the ground.
Hercules keeps the columns straight for half an hour,
but then he releases them.
Two candidates may skip the torments
To take on the heavy columns of Hercules
Because if those fall,
the mission is irrevocably over.
So we need two powerhouses who can start paying off Hercules.
I think you're a little stronger.
It's a little disappointing, though.
I think I'm mostly the least weak of the surplus.
Michael and Senne, the powerhouses.
All right, you may leave. Hercules is waiting for you. him
All right, you may leave. Hercules is waiting for you.
The longer you hold out, the better your chances of success today.
Make us proud.
Come on, boys. Good luck. - You, too, fellas.
Michael and Senne walk straight to the temple
to relieve Hercules.
The longer they can soon hold them straight,
the more time they buy for their fellow candidates
to endure the torments.
Hurry up, man. - Run, Forrest.
Friends, the journey will be challenging for body and for mind.
Stakes: 3,000 euros.
I would add that that amount could change along the way.
Okay, go. Are we going to walk? - Vamos.
Ah, the Sisyphus affliction.
That's going to be something powerful, I think. And stamina.
The first torment. One pair must remain here
and may not continue the journey until the torment is successfully passed.
I do have a lot of stamina. - Yeah, okay, I'm in.
Good luck: - Yo.
Stéphanie and Bernard will, like King Sisyphus,
roll a heavy ball up a mountain.
They encounter three questions along the way.
Only with a correct answer may they proceed.
If the answer is wrong, they must, with their forty-pound ball,
go all the way down again.
Yo.
And, ça va? Yes? - That rolls.
If it doesn't go, I'll take over.
Okay, sign.
What is the designation of one string of spaghetti?
Okay, wait. Boot.
The answers to the three questions are not hard to find,
because they're just all on their ball.
Spaghettel. - Calf.
Puttanesca.
Among a lot of other words.
Spaghetto. - Spaghetta.
In my opinion: There is no single...
Spaghetto sounds the most logical to me. - Yes, okay.
Yes.
One string is indeed called a spaghetto.
The first hurdle has been taken and they may continue up the mountain.
Go, go. Good job.
The torment of the Danaics
That's actually accomplishing a task that can never be accomplished.
Something like that, I think.
Lynn and Charlotte must overcome an affliction
before they are allowed to go to the temple.
Like the Daniels they have to fill a vessel
until the water at the top overflows out of this little tap.
But there is one small problem.
The vessel is not what you would call watertight.
Let's go. -I'll do the water.
Charlotte begins to fill the barrel.
Lynn tries to fill as many holes as possible.
Will that work? - They're all a different size.
Ah, a different size. - Yes.
Seeing that I don't waste too much water.
There's lots of wind.
But that's flying wide. - That's really flying wide.
Wow.
Okay, sign.
The name Itali would according to one theory come from
from the Greek italos. - What does italos mean?
Green is rather further, isn't it?
Boot can. - What does it say here? Field.
Calf.
Stéphanie and Bernard hesitate between these four answers.
The correct answer is indeed between them.
I would dare to go for green. - Oy, a color.
Isn't it that flounder, that boot?
Would the Greeks have already known that it was in the shape of a bone?
But green... Green is a color. So I don't think boot. I know.
I would go for green.
Okay, take green then. - Green.
Jeez, no green. Fuck. - Doeme.
Incorrect. Before they are allowed to give a new answer,
they have to take their heavy ball all the way down again.
One, two, three. - Wow.
And start all over again.
Ça va?
Okay.
Oh my. - Are you okay?
Yeah. - Are you okay?
So the torment is not only tiresome,
they also lose precious time.
In thirteen minutes Senne and Michael take over the columns.
They are almost to the temple.
The mole torment.
But then they discover a final, unexpected torment:
the mole torment.
Hi mole.
Hi Gilles.
Here is an extended conversation played back
that I had with the mole at the start of the journey.
A detailed, but totally unintelligible briefing.
The first evening in Sicily, tomorrow we start. Ready?
Unless you're looking at the screen.
I can't wait.
Any candidate who makes it through the entire interview without looking,
increases the stakes of the assignment by 500 euros.
Each candidate who does look at the screen,
lowers the stakes by 500 euros.
Torment is not mandatory.
They can also decide to walk right through.
What do you think? - I'm going to listen.
I don't think I'm going to watch. Come on, I'm sure.
I want money. - Okay.
It's going to depend on what's said, I think. I can't promise that.
You say you won't, but I don't quite belive that you're not going to do that.
So... - No, I think so.
Hi mole.
Hi Gilles.
Maybe let's start with something where you really lose
a lot of money.
Yes, I know what you mean.
Pandora's Box.
Risky, but amazing if it works out.
It's simple.
If I get the chance, I will open the box.
Italos. Italy. I would really dare to go for boot.
Okay, almost, almost.
Okay, come on. Say it. - Boot?
We're going for boot. - Boot.
Fuck.
Yes.
So we go for field in a moment. - Calf, I'm not feeling it with calf.
It's calf or field.
Field?
Field.
Yes? - Three, two.
NaOK
How much would that weigh? 170 pounds?
In fact, who is the Hercules?
Switch? - Yes, switch.
Do I take it over? - Yes.
Calf.
Real.
Yes.
They finally got it right.
One of the theories about the word Italos,
that would give Italy its name, is that it refers
to the fertility of this country and the large livestock, calf that is.
Did-you-know.
But this took an extraordinary amount of time.
Stéphanie and Bernard may now move on to the last question.
Calf, why calf? - Yes...
Ho, sure. What a peet.
Michael and Senne meanwhile, are at the temple.
They are well in time to relieve Hercules.
And they have personally made sure that the commission
1,000 euros more can bring
by both not giving in to the mole's temptation.
I wish you good luck.
And, not watched? - No. I had said.
Neither did I. - Sure?
Neither am I. -Sure?
Yes, I promise. - Are you serious?
You start. - I would let the strongest one start.
I think it's better that you start.
If you can no longer and we have to wait a long time...
I think I'm going to be able a little bit longer.
Okay.
I wonder how long we have to stand there.
How's that barrel doing? - She sure is running very empty:
How's that barrel? - She does run very empty.
For the two Danaians, it is becoming a real torment.
No matter how hard they try, the barrel just doesn't fill up.
Oh my God, Lynn.
It says here: One size bigger means wait one minute.
I can grab a much larger ladle for one minute.
Charlotte may have discovered salvation.
They may exchange their spoon for a larger one.
One minute? - Then everything's going to be out, I think. Not?
But for every size bigger they have to wait one minute
and not touch the barrel.
That big one is much bigger though, Lynn. - Suddenly much bigger than that?
Okay, I'm going for the very biggest one.
They choose the biggest spoon
and are for the next two minutes technically unemployed for a while.
That one irritates me, that it keeps leaking. - That one keeps leaking.
Damn.
Last push.
Fuck, mate.
Sisyphus Stéphanie and Bernard have one more question to go.
In the classic Italian appetizer carpaccio also contains a sauce.
Which one?
What sauces do we have?
Teriyaki sauce.
Hoisin sauce.
And worcestershire sauce.
Worcester.
Puttanesca is also still on it.
Fuck. - Yes, that's possible.
Puttanesca? - I don't think so.
Wait.
I would take puttanesca.
Puttanesca. - Puttanesca.
This really can't be
Puttanesca is an Italian tomato sauce
which is fantastically delicious with pasta.
But according to the Silver Spoon, the Italian cooking bible,
it does not belong with a classic carpaccio.
I really almost can't physically, though. - Yes, I know.
It's fucking hot too. - Yeah.
That seems like a very long two minutes. - Yes, really.
Yes. Good luck.
Charlotte and Lynn watched for two minutes
as their barrel emptied.
Merci. Shit. That does good.
As a reward, they may now fill it with the biggest spoon.
That's better, Lynn.
Do you want to scoop? - Yeah.
Hey, beireke. - Come on.
The half hour is over.
Hercules calls it a day and Senne takes over the columns
until he can do no more.
Oh my.
Then it's up to Michael.
Come on, buddy. - Yeah.
So each candidate may take over the columns only once.
Ça va? - For now ca va still.
Don't forget to keep smiling.
If one of them drops them, all is irretrievably lost.
Everything okay?
But from now on Hercules will challenge them
By every three minutes
an extra weight of five kilos to the beams.
Hercules is a bit of a sadist, I think. - No problem. Come.
Come on.
Don't drop it, buddy.
Lynn, you're doing good.
We're almost there though, Lynn.
It's walking. We're there.
Yes.
The barrel of the Daniels is overflowing. The torment is over
and Charlotte and Lynn continue their trek to the temple.
Come on.
Don't release the grip. If you feel that the grip is beginning to loosen, call out in time.
With carpaccio, such brown sauce.
Hoinois sauce or something, right?
Fuck, I can't do this again, I don't think. - Neither can I.
- Terayaki?
Or that worcestershire sauce. - I really don't know.
Woester. - Yes, that.
Fuck it, we'll just do it.
Worcestershire sauce.
Okay, now it should be quick. - Anything else?
Now it should go fast.
In the Silver Spoon, at a classic carpaccio indeed
1 tablespoon worcestershire sauce.
Fuck.
Dying.
Fuck, how bad was that.
To that temple, for sure. - Let's go to that temple.
We've already lost super much time. - Go.
The duos have overcome their afflictions
and everyone is on their way to the temple.
If they all get there before the columns fall down,
then they collect the stake of 4,000 euros.
Keep breathing, important.
Focus on your breathing. Quiet in, quiet out.
Come on, buddy.
Keep watching.
Or is that amount still changing?
The mole torment. -Oh my God.
The same choice: move on quickly Or suffer the mole torture.
I still have the urge to stir the pot up and feel good.
finishing the trial. - All right. Let's go for it.
Hi mole.
Hi Gilles.
Okay, next. The Ape cars and the bomb, what are you going to do?
Voilà, that's it.
Come on.
Don't stop breathing. Easy in, easy out.
It seems you are very motivated.
I wish you good luck.
I'm going to get ready already.
Wait, let him hang those bulbs first.
Wait, my fingers are unloading, man. - Overpacking?
Go ahead. Fuck, man.
Fucking hell.
Senne kept the columns straight for twelve minutes.
Now Michael begins.
Good job, little man. - Now it's up to you.
Both beams have already twenty kilograms extra.
Michael may no longer pass the beams to Senne,
but he may to the rest.
Bernard and Stéphanie still have quite a distance to go.
But Lynn and Charlotte are much closer.
I don't see anyone coming yet, so we can wait a long time.
Fucking hell.
The mole torment.
Yeah, that's pretty flashy, but okay.
See what works.
But anyway, it would be good if .
You can do a lot there as a mole. Actually, that's kind of a playground for you.
I don't see anybody coming yet. - No one is coming yet.
CAN I SABOTAGE SOMETHING ELSE NOW?
MAY I SABOTAGE SOMETHING RIGHT NOW?
Now? What do you mean?
THE LONGER I TALK TO YOU NOW
THE MORE TIME THEY LOSE
IN THE HERCULEAN TASK
Ah yes, that's true. You're actually live sabotaging the Herculean journey right now.
Do you see anyone coming yet?
No movement for now. You'll have to hold on for a while.
IT DOESN'T REALLY MATTER WHAT I SAY.
I JUST HAVE TO KEEP TALKING.
AND STALL TIME.
The only thing are the sweaty hands.
Yeah, my hands were really slipping at the end.
I wish you good luck.
Okay, let's go.
Everyone is now in the last straight line.
Lynn and Charlotte have three hundred meters to go.
The final incline to the temple.
Fucking hell.
Fucking exhausting. - That's fucking heavy. Holy shit.
Find your balance again. - I just want to change my grip here.
One hundred meters.
Come on, Michael. - I'm losing it.
Come on, walk up.
Sorry. - Come on.
Oh, no.
God damn.
Doeme.
I think we've fairly long standing.
Not, or what? - No, right. You guys saw it right.
You had already been even? - Yes, and then he did another six minutes.
How true was that?
I think they are there.
Too little too late.
What is she saying? - Too late.
We were really there and we saw those beams falling.
No. - With you guys it did take a long time.
Super long. - Yeah. You know what we had to do?
Yes, friends, I think it's clear. The beams are on the ground.
Maybe our two powerhouses were not strong enough.
Or maybe there was some lingering along the way.
What is certain,
is that the mole torment had an impact.
This assignment was no longer worth 3,000 euros.
She was worth 4,000 euros.
Hi Gilles.
Maybe suddenly start doing something where you can really lose a lot of money.
Yes, I know what you mean.
Pandora's Box.
Eight pass questions, four-four. - They're not going to expect this.
Risky, but it would be amazing if it works out.
It is simple.
If I get the chance, I will open the box.
Superb.
Okay, next. The Ape cars and the bomb.
They said Panzani and that's a brand. That's not pasta, that's a brand.
If I can use the doubler there
then I will do that.
Yes, we're going to.
And if you're in an Ape?
Steer the discussion to the wrong direction
by pretending to be nervous.
What do you have to say to that, guys? - That it's really completely wrong.
I... - Why are you guys so nervous?
And the ice creams, everything clear there?
If I'm at the screen,
I will give the wrong commands
No one can see I'm sabotaging.
Cia... Cioccolata.
One more thing, while we're here.
Say your name.
My name is...
No, I won't do that.
Damn. Were you able to keep it up or not? - Yes.
Yes, so did I, but I was really tempted.
The Hercules ride was worth 3,000 euros worth,
but the mole torment has changed that.
Senne and Michael did not look
and Lynn and Charlotte could resist.
But for Bernard and Stephanie the temptation was too great.
So the stakes again to 4,000 euros.
Anyway, you leave the 4,000 euros.
That's a shame, because this wonderful place deserved more.
Can I make it up to you with some comfort food? Shall we have something to eat?
Very much so. - Come, we're off.
It may be very comfortable. - Have you both looked?
Did all four of you not look? - Yes, we didn't look.
Either you guys are going to have an evening cozy dinner with your mom.
We could.
Go, go.
Either it's going to be some kind of weird date with a woman you don't know.
On the way to dinner some candidates
are still curious about what the mole had to say.
You've seen it, Bernard?
Yes, I watched.
Was it enlightening?
I'm glad I saw it, though. - Still.
Cravings for comfort food. - Yes.
Would comfort food also not be a hint to the visitors?
He did say very ostentatiously, "Comfort food. - Yes, yes.
Oh my God.
Maybe the moms made us dinner. - That would be totally fun.
Can your moms cook well? - No.
Mine thinks she can cook, but she can't.
My mom can cook mega well. - So can mine.
Be careful, it wasn't bad, I'm not going to say that. It was tasty.
But she doesn't have that sophistication or she can't...
She's also... My dad is not critical enough.
He always says, It's nice, honey. Honey, it's good.
Their new sleeping place is the wine estate of Sirignano.
And it's time to satisfy their hunger for answers.
Oh my God, wow
But so beautiful here. - Charming.
Dear friends, have a drink after such a long day.
It's prosecco. And for Stephanie a non-allergic alternative.
Schollekes, mannekes. - Santé.
Schol. On a good day. - Schol.
Friends, it's time for a plate of blissful pasta.
In this case, a bolognese.
They're already ready on the table.
Six different plates, made by six different chefs
who you know well.
Your moms.
Delightful.
The moms are in the country
and have not only cooked for their children,
they also join them for dinner.
Stephanie's mother is sick.
and that's why her sister has come to Sicily.
There is no Italian on earth who will say anything else.
La mamma's pasta is always the best in the world.
Sure. - Point, other line.
That, of course, also applies to our Flemish moms.
Or in the case of Stéphanie, for your sister.
So it can't possibly be a difficult assignment
to recognize the spaghetti bolognese from your own mom.
Oh, no. - A test, I knew it.
2,000 if everyone is in the right seat later.
Or 4,000 euros, Senne?
I don't have that with me, that doubler.
I don't have that on me right now. I didn't expect anything more.
The gang of misery.
You guys have a difficult relationship with the doublers.
Really, what the fuck.
That leaves it at 2,000 euros. That money is only earned if all six of you
are in the right seat in a moment.
And so the paste of your, own mama Have recognized.
I recognize the spaghetti bolognese from my mom out of a thousand.
Me too. - An awful lot of mincemeat.
And not that many greens. - Me neither.
With me, yes. - Our mother is also the same.
Big pieces of carrot and bacon, flat bacon. Anyway.
No bacon. - Flat bacon, big pieces of carrot.
With us just tomato sauce and minced meat.
With me mushrooms. - And yours?
Zucchini. - Mine is the tastiest anyway.
I think mine.
I notice great enthusiasm.
The search for the spaghetti will be done in pairs in a moment.
The order has just been decided by you.
Stéphanie's glass was empty first.
Followed by Lynn. You form the first duo.
Then Bernard and Charlotte.
And you, gentlemen, you go last.
Do your best. 2,000 euros if everyone recognizes recognizes his own mom's pasta bolognese.
Make your mothers proud. - Sure.
The three duos take turns getting one minute
to take out the sign of their own mom or the sister's out.
By sight, that is, without tasting. Stéphanie and Lynn may begin.
Come, grab a dish. Run, run.
That's the common standard, there's nothing in there.
There's nothing in this either, especially from our mom. - Those are pieces of tomato.
That's all without vegetables. - Just meat.
My mom's is really... - Okay, my mom's is also the best.
I've been training my wife training my wife to recreate that spaghetti.
You're scoring points in this program. - Yes, but not with my wife.
No, definitely not. - There is its piquancy in that.
That one could be my sister's. Bright red, just bits of meat.
I'm going for this one, I think. Oh, no, not this one either.
Another 10 seconds, fuck. My mama is gonna be pissed if I don't get it right.
Stéphanie and Lynn have made their choice.
Two signs are gone, man.
Charlotte and Bernard go as the next duo
in search of mom's bolognese, among the four remaining plates.
That's already not mine. - It could be.
No, that is too runny. - That's possible.
That's not my moms. Where are her mushrooms?
That is the most delicious pasta there is.
That'll score me with my wife, so that's twice as good.
That's two strikes - Good food and....
Come on yes, just a good conversation afterwards. - Quiet, a chat.
There are carrots in here and thinge. - That's going to be my ma's.
Yeah? 'Cause I think that's is mine.
That's going to be my ma's. Yes, go ahead.
It's decided.
It's really wrong. - I think mine was off, too.
There is doubt, but also their choice is now made.
I said, I recognize that one out of a thousand.
Now to Michael and Senne.
Ready for it? - I am.
But they don't have a lot of options anymore, of course.
We're going to have plenty of time, though. - We only have two signs.
That's not going to be your mother's. - No.
But come on, it's just not anywhere anymore.... Be careful, that's what it looks like.
Is that bacon, here?
I don't know. - I'm going to go for that one.
Okay, all right? Or not? - Good, yes.
Okay, friends, the choices have been made.
Either you guys are going to have an evening cozy dinner with your mom
and then 2,000 euros will be added to the pot.
Either it will be some kind of weird date with a woman you don't know,
but even that can be cozy.
Buon appetito, amici.
2,000 euros if everyone chose the right spaghetti.
Are they all sitting with mom or sister?
Mama.
I knew it. - I smelled you already, I thought.
I thought, There's no one who smells as good.
You're not my mommy. - I'm not your mommy.
That's my son.
We exchanged. - We switched.
Bernard, man.
There are carrots in there. - But yes.
Come on, mom - I always make with vegetables anyway.
Didn't used to anyway.
Four of the six candidates are sitting correctly.
But Bernard and Senne are sitting with each other's mother.
As a result, they are missing out on 2,000 euros.
What they do deserve is a delicious spaghetti della mamma.
Anyway, pleasant to meet you, Bernard. - Yes, super pleasant.
Absolutely. You look like a super cool madam.
Shall we switch seats otherwise? Is that okay?
Come here, make. Come here. - Damn, Senneke.
How is it? - Good.
I'm glad to see you. - Me too.
Now I smell it. I smell it. - I tell you, I always put vegetables in it.
The right pasta, how good is that.
Cheers. - Cheers.
You look good. - Thank you.
All in a purple outfit. All in your color.
It's really pasta from you.
I taste the bacon, but I didn't find the bacon.
I think there's still a fair amount of bacon in it.
It's been amazing here, mom.
And it's been tough trials. And can you do everything?
I didn't think that she would make it to episode five.
But I'm super proud. - Why didn't you think so?
Because I know you. - But what?
Now what is that something? - If we watch The Mole together,
then you say during the assignments: I don't get it.
I don't get them very often either. - I find that so difficult. How do they do that?
With Flo it usually went like: Daddy has to put on my pajamas.
'But Daddy's not here.'
'I don't want to make you cry, but it's normal...
Sweetie, it's normal for your daughter to miss you.
She has now made a countdown calendar.
And that helps. Now she visually has something of....
You're spilling on your sleeve.
For the candidates this is a rare moment
to take a breather. A touch of home,
a loved one you can trust one hundred percent.
I do think I have my eye on him. - Him?
No, her. - Ah.
I really wouldn't be surprised if you're the mole.
Do you think I could could lie to you?
I think you would have little choice. Right?
I think you could tell by looking at me whether I was lying or not.
Are you the mole? - No.
No? - No.
Really? - No, not really.
Okay. - No way.
And she doesn't believe any of it. - No.
Are you the mole?
Lynneke, are you the mole?
I'm not the mole. - Okay.
I hesitate.
Are you the mole?
No, mom, I'm not the mole.
I'm not him.
Are you sure?
Are you the mole? If you're lying to me.
I had to get those put For a trial.
What?
Hon. - No, I'm not the mole.
Honey, I've known you a long time. I know you're lying now.
Here you have your answer.
A heavy suitcase Because there's a lot of you in it.
Oy.
How long has it been since I've been in bed with you?
I sincerely can't remember. - A very long time ago.
What all do you have with you? - I have I-don't-know-how-many shoes with me.
That's my mole book. - May I read that?
Yes, if you can keep that to yourself.
I think I know who it is. - You shouldn't say all that now.
But that's information for me anyway.
Ah, for you. - The professions.
How much do you actually have on you? - Twenty pounds.
You're staying for a weekend.
I've got a really big bruise on my arm, that's from today.
What did they do to my child?
What was it like being in the same bed with your daughter?
Lolo wanted to cuddle anyway: Mommy, I want to cuddle.
Seriously?
Bernard used to have a tendency to spend fifteen minutes in the shower.
Then he said: Mommy, I'm waking up.
He left home and my water bill has been reduced by a third.
Really? - Yes, yes.
Wow.
After breakfast, the the candidates and the visitors
go to the next assignment.
Okay, friends, we're gonna make some arrangements.
The railings stay down. - Master Bernard.
Leave the chairs up. Not backwards.
You may whisper, not shout.
Thank you, Master Bernard.
The bus sets course for Poggioreale,
a Sicilian village with a special history.
Hello all.
May I give you a warm welcome to Poggioreale.
Or rather,
Poggioreale as it looked in 1968.
Because then here a very severe earthquake happened
that did all this.
And since then, friends, nothing at all has changed.
Actually, this is Sicily from more than half a century ago.
We also go back in time today.
A little less far.
We go back to your childhood.
Because, friends, you are going to build towers with blocks from the block box.
- A total of 4,500 euros can be earned.
Senne, normally the person in charge of the doublers alone decides.
But your mama's with you and moms always know advice.
What do you think, ma'ke?
Go for it. - Okay.
Then I'm listening.
Here you go. - Thank you very much.
Yasmine and Senne have decided: you guys are playing for 9,000 euros.
You build the towers together with mom, of course.
For the three pairs who will soon have the tallest towers,
there is another dessert, un dolce.
I wish you incredible pleasure.
The candidates today are building with their visitor
a tower as high as possible with blocks from the block box.
This is done in three rounds.
At the end of each round, the duo with the lowest tower.
The three duos remaining,
should expect something even more interesting.
We're going to start with this one and we'll make a triangle.
The first round has started.
They start with the blocks that are on their table.
The more stable the tower, the better.
A triangle. - A little bit of scaling now, I think.
Because before the end of each round and before we measure the towers,
follows...
an earthquake.
Would that be sturdy enough to survive that?
It does look stable to me.
The differences in building styles are already evident.
Time to start earning some extra blocks.
Two minutes from....
now.
Go, go, go.
Come on. - Lynn, run.
I hope they don't fall.
In the middle of each round, they can try to earn extra blocks.
The candidates will go to another square
answer a question about their childhood.
If the moms give the same answer, they get extra blocks.
The more correct answers, the more money they can make.
Okay, ladies, the first question.
When was the first French kiss of your son, daughter or sister?
A: Before the fifteenth birthday.
B: Between fifteen and seventeen.
Or C: After the seventeenth birthday.
Has son, daughter or sister dearest ever steal anything?
Walking, walking, careful.
I reiterate that the three duos in the final have a chance to win an interesting dessert.
The candidates are building a block tower. As high as possible.
And may earn extra blocks by answering questions about their youth.
When was the first French kiss of your son, daughter or sister?
Each time the candidates and their visitor give the same answer,
they get extra blocks and the stakes of the assignment go up.
I know this for sure.
Each correct answer is worth 300 euro.
But there is a doubler used,
so that now becomes 600 per correct answer.
At what age was your first French kiss?
Before you were fifteen. Between your fifteenth And seventeen. After you were seventeen.
Answers to this intriguing question
they find by fishing up a letter from the fountain.
Come on.
Charlotte and Lynn return empty-handed,
but the other four did fish up an answer.
They may bring new blocks for their tower.
They do have to hope that their visitor has given the same answer.
The first question about the first French kiss.
You may show the answers now.
Well done. - Good guess, huh.
Senne and his mother are the only ones who answered the same
and thus collect 600 euros.
The rest were wrong and are not allowed to continue building.
I did think: Mom's gonna think I was some playboy.
Second high school.
Yes, man. - It's okay.
You have to say that to your mother.
You know what I did today at school? French kissed for the first time.
Under fifteen I thought was a little young. That's second high school.
Under fifteen I did think was a little young. That's second high school.
I had B, by the way,
You were there anyway. You literally saw it happen.
William Ramaekers in the parking lot.
Only Senne and his mother are now allowed to continue building with the new blocks.
A chance to get rid of the current last place.
So, so. -Two next to each other, or what?
Mother, what are you all doing? Come, just put them on.
Six beautiful towers.
Time to find out how well they can withstand against six small earthquakes.
The duo that after the earthquake has the lowest tower falls off.
Ah, shit.
Stop, stop.
Stay put.
God damn. - Don't curse.
Oh, mommy.
But come on, man.
We're already not the lowest.
We have to say goodbye to Bernard and Kathie.
You're not going through to the next round, so you may leave us.
Bet: 600 euros for now. That could be a lot better.
Construction time starts now.
No, this one: - That's not sturdy, Mom. You need that one.
Yes, 20. Now I would go upstairs.
The first earthquake clearly made an impression.
Just about all the duos are now making other architectural choices.
There's nothing more we can do, Lynn.
Once again, the candidates are given two minutes to fish in the fountain.
Walking, walking, careful.
Has son, daughter or sister dear ever stolen anything?
A: Yes, something smaller than a lemon.
B: A little bigger than a lemon.
C. Never.
Yes.
Stéphanie was the only one not to fish up a letter.
The rest did have an answer with them.
Time to find out everything about your kleptomaniac behavior.
You may show the answers now.
But come on, Michael.
What were you thinking about? - Bread.
Yes, that bread, anyway.
I thought you knew that. From those sweets in the station, I told you that.
I didn't know that. - Yes, I definitely told you that.
Lynn, bigger than a lemon: We're curious
I once stole a bottle of liquor. One time.
So I didn't know that. Earrings, candy.
You knew all that? - Yes.
And Charlotte? - A bottle of orange juice.
I was in jail for that
One night in the Oudaan.
Senne once stole a loaf of bread from a bread vending machine.
Because I was very hungry and had no money.
So how did he do that?
Don't ask me for technical details. I read it in the newspapers.
We're not going to expand on that.
Senne and Charlotte were well judged by their mothers.
So they may continue building and there will be 1,200 euro stakes.
That looks very good. - It's kind of a modernist house.
Come on, ahead.
No, no.
Oh, no.
Stay, stay.
Stop, stop.
Look, look.
Stay down, stay down. Stop, stop.
End of the second round.
We bid a sad farewell to the lovable duo of Lynn and Nicole
with the lowest tower.
The last chance to get into the finals.
I repeat that the three duos in the final
have a chance to win an interesting dessert.
Another one. Yes, yes.
That's not going to be solid. - Yes it is.
I would leave it that way for now.
Last chance also to collect blocks.
Hands off.
Two minutes from now.
Go, go. - Come on.
Ladies, the last question about your too-beloved sprouts and sister.
When was the first time you were drunk?
A: Before the fifteenth birthday.
B: Between fifteen and seventeen.
- C: After the seventeenth birthday.
- Welcome back, all four.
I hope the answers match. Let's see them.
Zatlap.
Oh, yes. Yes.
Yes. Yes.
Good job.
But, Michael. - But come on, fifteen.
That's between fifteen and seventeen.
Between fifteen and seventeen. - I don't think you understand the concept.
You shouldn't sabotage. One of us has to sabotage.
Say, please.
Three correct answers.
Another 1,800 euro stake is added. 3,600 euros in total.
But now it's time to build again.
We have to say goodbye say goodbye to one last duo.
You have to build a fortress around it.
Just fill all of that layer: Yes, perfect.
Yes, go ahead, put it on top.
Come, stay. Come, bliiven, bliiven.
Stay put. Stop, stop, stop.
Ça va. - Ça va, ça va.
Stand. Stand, stand.
Stop. - Stop, stop.
Come on.
No, ça va. No, it doesn't.
Yes. - Stop.
Oy, that's really not good. That's not good.
It was nice, though.
That big one stayed for a long time, the top one. - Yeah. Really.
Who's going to the finals?
Yasmine and Senne.
Obviously the tallest tower.
Good job. Good job.
Second place!
Michael and Bea. You are also going to the finals.
Between the other two duos it's a lot more exciting.
It's measured down to the millimeter.
The last duo to advance to the finals....
Souhir and Stéphanie.
The finale.
Now they have to try to get the 3,600 euros actually come in.
And they also get the promised dessert.
Time for dessert. And like in any good restaurant, you get to choose.
We work on the same principle.
I will make you all three of you a proposal.
Two choices, two presents.
If you moms or sister shortly make the same choice,
then those presents will be deserved.
If all three of you manage to make the same choice as your mom or sister,
then 3,600 euros will go to the group pot.
Ladies first? - Okay.
Steph, this is the choice.
A pass question.
Or a weekend in Amsterdam with your mom, with your sister.
Stéphanie, Senne and Michael have the choice
between one pass question for the elimination test
or a weekend for two in Amsterdam
in a luxury hotel with dinner at a starred restaurant.
Doubt?
Is Souhir going to make the same choice?
I think so. I hope so.
Stéphanie just received a proposal for a gift.
What did she choose, do you think?
Michael, a pass question Or a weekend in Amsterdam with your mom?
Hi Bea.
What do you think, that son of yours?
Okay.
I find that difficult.
What is our mom going to say to that?
Hi Yasmine. What do you think?
We are full again.
Dear friends, this mission is worth 3,600 euros.
The finale was played by three duos.
If a duo's choice matches , then the gift is earned.
If the choices of all duos match,
then today's money is in for the group pot.
The first person I asked the question to, was Stéphanie.
What did Stéphanie choose according to you, Souhir?
Pass question.
Right. - Good job.
That one's for you, Steph. - Thank you.
The second person I proposed it to made the proposal was Michael.
Here lies Michael's choice.
What do you think that is, Bea?
I think the pass question.
Well done. Good job.
Here you go. - Merci.
Two out of three.
Yasmine and Senne, the last duo.
If this estimate also matches,
you deserve a present and 3,600 euros goes to the group pot.
Yasmine, what do you think?
Pass question.
Doubt?
Yes, I find that difficult. One pass question is so little.
And she very much likes to go on weekends with me.
Anyway, she would think that's genius.
I think mom would choose...
Come no, man.
One pass question is too little. That's nothing.
I was really convinced.
That's too bad, - Sorry.
No money and also no luxury weekend in Amsterdam.
The only thing this day brings, is a pass question for Michael
and one for Stéphanie.
All those block towers for nothing. - Yeah, sorry, sorry.
You're leaving 3,600 euros.
You are leaving 3,600 euros.
Friends, the roads separate for now also with our beloved moms and sister.
The visitors return to Belgium.
And they're going to take one of you with them.
Because we're also saying goodbye to one candidate tonight.
The elimination is for later.
The goodbyes and hugs are for now.
This was worth it.
I love you.
We don't say that often, but we know it.
You did well. - Still do it right.
I'm going to do my best. I have a pass question, which is something anyway.
I thought: He's going to go for the game and not me.
I thought: You're going to go for me and not for the game.
Come here.
Stay in, huh.
You have a pass question. I didn't have to had to build block towers for nothing.
I hope I don't see you for the next week. - I hope so, too.
Better get some spaghetti ready for when I get home.
Once again, the group pot remains unchanged.
Over the past few days nothing has been added.
Ladies
The only one who can be happy about that, is the mole.
We seemed headed for a nice sum. 3,600 euros would have been very welcome.
Then one person goes for a weekend in Amsterdam.
That was so weird.
A mother is always going to say that a child chooses the pass question. Always.
So that's really not rocketscience.
I think at this point in the game it may well come down to a pass question.
I had some questions about it anyway.
One pass question is too little. That's nothing. That's really nothing.
I told mom yesterday before we went to sleep too
that I'm going all-in, so then one pass question makes absolutely no difference.
If you're wrong, one is not going to save you. If you're right, you don't need them.
I recognize the spaghetti bolognese from my mom out of a thousand.
At the spaghetti test Bernard made the biggest mistake.
No, that's too runny.
Although he was very confident, he still chose incorrectly.
I'm not your mom.
On the agony assignment, that might be super negative,
but how can you as an arborist stand there for only five minutes?
Come on, Michael. - I'm losing it.
As the first duo came up the stairs, he suddenly lost his grip and fell down.
I thought that was so weird.
Come on.
Sorry.
At italos, Bernard has very explicitly chosen field, for green.
Afterwards it turned out that we were very much out of our time.
Calf, calf. I don't feel it with calf.
Field?
Field.
Good evening, friends.
Of the ten people who a few weeks ago
started on, on or around our boat off the coast of Milazzo
five remain in a moment.
Half.
With among those five, one mole,
who, sorry to say,
seems to be on the winning side.
A quick look at your earnings of the past few days says it all.
Zero comma zero.
Also because in the meantime three of the four doublers have been wasted.
Senne, you haven't done any better than your predecessors unfortunately.
One remains.
Who do you pass it to?
I'm going to give the last doubler to Lynn.
Thanks, Senne. - Here you go.
The final doubler, Lynn, is your responsibility from now on.
Then you better hope that you stay in the game,
because otherwise the doubler is also gone.
Shall I start with you? - Yes.
Ah, fuck.
Oh, Lynn.
It's over.
Are you wrong?
I had wanted to spread over three more people
and I've been twisted around the finger by a very good mole the last three days.
That's really going to be such a loss. Really.
Lynn is really a fucking amazing woman. I look up to her.
I think it really sucks.
One thing is for sure,
you really didn't want to be the mole. You didn't lie.
She's very sincere and very honest in what she says and does.
Lynn, you didn't press. Clear choice.
I have resolved not to take exemptions.
What did you think was the highlight? - I thought the castle trial was really super fun.
I don't know anyone who knows more about weird, Italian laws than Lynn Thissen.
I'm going to pull. - Su puta madre.
Kiss in the car, I think we can do that, too.
Crazy. - Sorry, but we have to keep going, Coco.
Well done in Centuripe. - We had done that well.
She asked a couple of handsome, young guys asked to honk along.
FEEL LIKE A QUICKY?
No, no. I didn't mean that.
That turned out to be a little less noble than we thought, that gesture.
That doubler, it's definitely lost.
They didn't amount to anything, but maybe they make a nice souvenir for later.
We are going to miss you very much. We enjoyed you incredibly.
Now you have to wait and see how it ends.
I'm so curious.
Merci. - Merci for everything, really.
Safe home and greetings to Nicole.
I'm definitely going to do that. - Don't forget.
Ciao ciao. - Bye Lynn. See you soon.
Safe travels. Bye bye. - Thank you.
Oh, no. Really.
Dear friends.
You survived another elimination.
But I see doubt in your eyes...
despite all suspicions
despite all the talking.
So pay close attention.
Tomorrow I will,
to one of you,
make my real voice heard.
Sleep tight.
Next episode
Lord, with dejection and sadness....
My mole book? - Mine is gone, too.
What's that? - Keep them coming.
Fuck, right.
Dead. You're dead.
The mole made you a promise.
I'll take the filter off in three, two, one....
