Hi Mole.
Glad to see you. - Me too.
I can't wait until we leave. I am completely ready for it.
You are ready, yes.
But not quite yet.
This suitcase might become your best friend on the trip.
It's empty. - For now, yes.
But in Thailand, this suitcase will be full of materials, tools and resources
to help you with sabotaging.
A suitcase full of misfortune.
Interesting. What exactly is inside?
I'll leave that up to you.
These are all the assignments.
So think carefully about what tools you would like to take with you.
You have plenty of choice.
The only condition
is that the object fits in the suitcase.
The Mole suitcase.
A dream.
For you, yes.
For the candidates...
more like a nightmare.
Hi Mole.
The time has come.
You are finally among all the other candidates.
And on this first day, you can immediately strike a gigantic blow.
There is 9,000 euros at stake, but also...
the Mole suitcase.
Your Mole suitcase.
The suitcase is here, in Bangkok.
But you won't get it just like that, dear Mole.
You will have to earn it.
The group can intercept the suitcase before it arrives here with me.
In exactly one hour, a helicopter will take off somewhere in Bangkok
and it will fly with the suitcase to me.
If only the suitcase is on board,
then you are sure for the entire journey of all the resources it contains.
But if there are candidates on board, then they have intercepted the Mole suitcase.
Then you will lose it and they will earn money.
I would say, dear Mole, get to know the rest.
Or pretend to, because of course you already know everything about them.
See you later.
Hello, hello. - Hello, I am Jan.
I am Hilde. Hello. - Good day. Nimrod is my name.
What is your name? - Nimrod. A special name, I know it.
Hey.
Hi, hello. - Hey.
I am Rusiana. - Pasquino.
I am Alexy. - Hi, Michèle.
What is your name? - Pas. Pasquino, but Pas is okay.
Wow, difficult names.
I am bad with names. I probably won't be able to remember them.
Hello. - Hey.
Hey. - Hello.
We are apparently not going to see each other. I am Els. - I am Sarah.
I can't see you, but I'm going to give you a hug first.
Hi Els, I am Pedro. - Hi Pedro, I am Sarah.
We are clearly stuck here. - We seem to be stuck indeed.
Have you felt any buttons or something? - Really.
The candidates are locked up in the port of Bangkok,
divided over three containers.
3800
A courier will deliver the mole suitcase to the helicopter in an hour.
To keep the suitcase out of the game,
the candidates must be in the helicopter before the suitcase arrives there.
The first thing they need to do is get out of their containers.
Get to know each other by dancing
and find the three links between you to open the door.
Dancing. Hop.
You have to get to know me, right? - Yes, well...
First maybe the ages.
In this container, each candidate has something in common
with one of the others.
If they find those three links between them, they are free.
They can get tips, but only if they keep dancing.
Introduce yourself generally. Who are you?
I am Hilde, 57 years old. Biologically. In my heart I feel 38.
I have two children. I live in Limburg. I am a child psychiatrist.
I love to travel. Jan...
Okay. Jan, Jan Lembrechts, forty years old.
I am a truck driver by profession.
To football. I am an Antwerp fan. - Antwerp, yes.
For the rest, I can't tell you much more.
What was the most beautiful day of your life?
June 4th. In the 93rd minute, 33rd second Toby Alderweireld scored that goal.
First the cup, then play champion, in that way.
I think I went down four or five rows of benches,
hugged men I had never seen before.
The hair... I got a phone call.
I have.. The next day that was.
They said: We facetimed. I don't remember that anymore, it was a haze.
That was really.... Wow.
I am Nimrod. I work at the bank and do wealth management there.
What do you do there? - Wealth management.
Every time they keep dancing continuously for two minutes,
they receive one letter from a link as a gift.
An s. - Your word ends in an s.
Bike? Do you guys bike a lot? - Bike? No.
Wait, there is a bike here. I'm going to try it for a moment.
Does it do anything if I bike?
Yes, yes.
Now I stop.
Maybe I should keep biking. - What did you do?
Yes, there.
Those are all questions.
In this container there are five boxes with a question.
The answer is always a number between 1 and 5.
They must put the boxes in the correct order
and in the meantime also cycle hard,
because otherwise the lights will go out.
Should I bike differently, Els? - Okay.
Bike at full speed, that's what you have to do.
How many colors are there in the flag of Thailand?
That will be few. - White, red, blue.
Three? - Three, three.
How many neighboring countries does Thailand have? - Laos for sure, Cambodia.
Malaysia. - That's possible.
Damn it.
Wow. Pedro, would you like to take over for a bit?
That's quite tough.
We have tape. We have wool.
We have tennis balls and tennis rackets.
In the last container the assignment is simply:
score ten points.
But how, they have to figure that out themselves.
Ten points, ten candidates, that is something...
Maybe towards each other. - That's possible.
Does that do anything? - No.
Okay, ten points.
A net? Do we have to make a net? Were you thinking that too?
With that tape and those things.
We have two points.
Okay, we have something right. - What did we do?
I said: We have three rackets, three rolls of tape, two tennis balls.
Wow. Come on.
Now we do have three points at this moment. - Ah yes.
Someone else? - Four points.
They seem to be on the right track,
but the objects have nothing to do with the assignment.
Points are scored every time a participant
touches his or her nose.
Come on, think logically.
Five points. - Ah, okay.
Okay, we are doing something right.
Shit.
One point less. Oh, shit.
0, two less.
Unfortunately for them, the score can also go down,
every time someone curses.
What have we done? - Shit.
Two. Another one less.
Is it something we said maybe?
The courier with the mole suitcase has already made good progress
and the candidates are still all stuck.
A link. Are you cohabiting, a girlfriend?
No, alone. I still live at home. - Who lives at your home?
My parents and my brother.
Nimrod, does anyone know you are here?
No, but if something happens to me, they will know.
I'm going to be honest, the building around the corner here...
I also didn't know how or what. You never know with fraud these days.
I thought: Who knows... You never know of course:
Between my laptop, I put a piece of paper with the address of where I am now.
Nobody is going to come into that room, that is my bedroom.
But in an emergency, if I'm not home tonight,
then they can possibly access that or whatever.
What else do you want to know?
With an o.
The dog. Dog. - I also have a dog.
Tell me something about your pets, everything you can say about it.
I have two chickens, Ella and Stella. - I also have chickens.
Dog is the second. 1 dog and 2 chickens.
Yes, yes. Okay. - Oh my God, okay.
Hilde and Nimrod both have a dog and two chickens.
One of the three links has been found.
In the middle container, they are already much further along.
They have answered all the questions.
Answer the questions and pronounce the full name of Bangkok.
If they have put the boxes in the correct order,
then they should be able to read the Thai name of Bangkok.
Pronounce the full name... But well. - I would read one out.
Wrong. The full Thai name of Bangkok
is by far the longest place name in the world
and consists of all these words.
But that's going to... Why should we choose one thing?
Yes, indeed.
Is that going to be that long?
That can't be everything that is on those boxes.
Wait, let me think while I'm not biking. - Yes, you can.
Keep biking, because we don't see anything anymore, Pedro.
Escape rooms for example, I think are the best. Yes, yes.
I think that's really cool.
With a few girlfriends we call ourselves the 'seuten' because we go to escape rooms.
I am the enthusiastic one who is like: that's cool.
But whether I decipher a lot of things myself, I don't know.
I think we just have to pronounce it. - Should I do it again or what?
Oh my God. - Come on, we were just going to pronounce it.
Is it working or should I take over? - Switch?
With the neighbors, the lights are on, but they are still groping in the dark.
We have to do something with this.
Luckily for them, an average person
touches their face up to five hundred times a day.
We got a point just now. Really right.
I would really like to go teach.
Chemistry is a bit of a niche.
Most people hate that in high school. That is really a shitty subject.
I really don't understand that.
Everything we experience is physics and chemistry.
Come on, I don't assume that I would be some kind of amazing super teacher.
But I find it very interesting and I think I could convey it.
What did you study?
I always did economics-languages and then I did commerce.
In the Heilig-Hartcollege. - Heilig Hart.
Heilig Hart, okay. - Heilig Hart, yes yes.
All right. 0, wow.
Now you guys. - Now one more, the smallest word.
They are within a hair's breadth of their liberation.
Only the link between Jan and Hilde remains.
O, shit. I can't seem to turn it on.
Els makes a new attempt
to pronounce the long name of Bangkok and is now reading everything out loud.
Yes. - Yes.
I think we are the first.
The first container is free.
Sarah, Pedro, and Els can start the race to the helicopter
to intercept the mole suitcase.
Wow.
Now straight to that helicopter preferably.
Oh yes, it's on.
Congratulations. You are the first to be free and on your way to the helicopter.
Hopefully still in time to keep the Mole suitcase out of the game.
But there is more.
For the group that will be the first at the helicopter soon,
there is still a big advantage to be gained. - Oh no.
And friends in the containers, one van is already gone
and there is only one van left.
Damn it. - How is that possible now?
Come on, guys, come on, Let's go.
But yes, thinking is important.
Nine points.
Oh my God. Oh my God. Fuck.
We are doing super well.
Ah, shit.
I went underneath here and one went off.
Go back once. - Eight.
I did that in the beginning. - Don't think about it too much.
Keep doing things. Nine points.
What else have I done?
Ten.
Oh my God. - Nice.
Come on.
The other two are already open. - Oh no.
Those two containers are empty. Damn it.
We are too late.
Come on, guys. What do we like to do?
Relax, unwind.
In the sofa. - Watch television.
Home. - Home.
Yes. Okay, come on.
A shared and unbridled passion for 'Thuis'.
That is why this container was freed second.
Hilde, Jan, and Nimrod have left in the blue van.
We will catch up, guys. We will catch up.
Yes yes, on to the helicopter.
Both vans are now on their way
and trying to get to the helicopter
before the mole suitcase arrives there.
I want to be in that helicopter anyway. - Yes, we have to.
Dear friends, you can earn a good amount of money on the way
by simply answering three simple questions.
The questions are for the front van.
That's us. - They are always about someone
in the back van.
A correct answer is worth 3,000 euros.
With a wrong answer, the engine of your van will be shut off
until the other van drives ahead.
I am very curious who will be the first at the helicopter.
Because as you know, friends, that only has advantages.
Good luck.
Only advantages.
But what is the advantage? - An exemption maybe already.
The red van will soon get a simple question
about someone from the blue van.
A correct answer can earn them as much as 3,000 euros.
But if they answer incorrectly, their van will pull over
until they are overtaken by the other van.
They know it is to their advantage
to be the first to reach the helicopter.
The vans are allowed to consult with each other
before giving an answer.
But how honest will they be?
What I think, for the first two questions we go along with the story.
We want to win money for you. That is perfectly okay for us.
For the third question, we give a wrong answer so that we come before them.
Reverse psychology. That is your side.
Cheating in games, I love that.-
I am going for the victory and if I notice that it is not going to work,
- then I switch to plan B.-
And that is fooling around.
Wow. - What is Hilde's profession?
CEO, child psychiatrist or school principal?
Hilde, wow, such a beautiful photo. - Hello.
I look good.
Yes, good day.
Hey, I am Sarah. I am with Els and Pedro in the first van.
We would really like to know the answer. - Yes. B, child psychiatrist.
We don't really know if you are answering correctly or incorrectly.
You can assume... We are really going for the money today.
We have to make a good start. Child psychiatrist is the correct answer.
Okay, thank you. Bye bye.
What do you think? She could be a psychiatrist.
She does have that vibe. - Do we just do B?
Yes, just do B.
The answer is correct.
They collect 3,000 euros and the vans just keep driving.
So they don't lose any time either.
Look.
What is Nimrod's real name?
Roderick, Diederick or Nimrod?
Hello, red van.
Yes, hello, Pedro here. Who am I speaking to?
You are speaking to Nimrod, so the question is immediately answered.
I am speaking to Nimrod. It is Nimrod himself.
Yes. With the one and only.
So you have discussed to give all the correct answers?
Yes, that's right. - Good, boy. Good.
Nimrod is really going to be something else. That is from The Lord of the Rings, I think.
It would suit all three of them. Well yes.
I once punched someone in the face.
We were biking from the exit, my wife and I
and at the lights, a revved-up car stopped with some guys in it.
The window opened and they slapped her butt.
Then I boiled over and I...
I drove and I....
I thought: I am really going to hit him. But such a weak thing.
That is the worst thing I have ever done.
Then I had to flee, because they drove after me.
Yes, really?
That would be really so absurd that he is really called Nimrod.
It is going to be Roderick. Nimrod, rod from Roderick.
In Diederick, rod does not appear.
Are we going for Roderick? - Yes.
So answer A.
All right, I am going to push.
Crap.
Incorrect answer. The red van pulls over for five minutes.
Precious time is ticking away and the blue van is now taking the lead.
Yes, there they are.
We thought you were lying.
And now? Yes, now...
We haven't thought about that. - Are they going to lie or tell the truth?
Last question, last chance to switch positions.
What physical trick is Els most proud of?
She can curl her tongue double in her mouth.
She can spread her toes very far apart.
She can write with two hands at the same time.
What can you do?
So here is my foot and I think that is very....
Do you understand? They all live on their own apparently.
Wow. - That is asking further.
We ask: How do you do that then?
Spreading toes far apart, how far? Those kinds of little questions.
With Els. Hello.
Els, tell me, what is your trick?
I can really spread my toes very far apart.
Which toes can you spread? Which toes?
Yes really, I can spread all toes very far apart.
And which foot?
Both.
How did you discover that you can do that and someone else can't?
When swimming in the past, they saw that I could spread my toes very well.
Okay, we are going to hang up. Bye.
What do you think, truth or not? - What do you think, does she sound believable or not?
No. - No?
The last answer is also the most important,
because this definitively determines
which van will be the first to arrive at the helicopter.
You choose. I said just now: Not true.
A or not? A.
We do it. - Guys.
Yes, they are standing there. - Do you think so?
Yes, yes - Yes, here.
I should have done my toes here. - Yes, do that. That's so funny.
Do that, do that.
Ciao.
It was really those toes. But boy oh boy.
Come on.
Well done.
Yes.
Els, Sarah, and Pedro are the only ones left
in the race for the mole suitcase.
But due to the two wrong answers along the way
they have already missed out on 6,000 euros and lost a lot of time.
In six minutes, the helicopter will take off
and if the candidates are too late, it will all have been for nothing.
Guys, is it upstairs?
That is mega high. - Is it high?
Here, here.
Run, run.
Yes.
Yes, yes. - We are first.
Oh my God.
Wow, crazy.
Yes. - Well done.
How crazy is this.
They are on time. The courier is not yet on the roof.
Els, Sarah, and Pedro intercept the mole suitcase
and bring in 3,000 euros.
Okay, the Mole suitcase, guys.
How nice is this. - Awesome.
Oh, guys.
The best.
Come on, guys, see us fly over Bangkok.
Welcome on board.
The Mole has left a message for you under your seat.
The advantage.
If you are reading this, I have underestimated you.
The first cents for the group pot are unfortunately in.
If you let the suitcase through anyway,
you will each receive a very useful personal advantage.
So the mole is still making an attempt
and offers Els, Sarah, and Pedro a personal advantage.
Even though they have no idea what that advantage entails exactly,
it sounds tempting.
But the price is high, to let the suitcase through after all
and thus also all the resources for the mole.
A disadvantage for the whole trip for the whole group.
We don't know of course what this will give, but...
No, well... Many advantages for the Mole.
It is definitely a nice bonus to have an advantage.
Yes, yes.
They are facing a devastating dilemma:
choosing an unknown personal advantage
is also a choice against the group.
What do you think, Pedro? - I think the others are going to be so angry.
Because we have already been in the helicopter and then still take that advantage.
We have also earned 3,000 euros by being so fast here.
They are also going to trust us less in the game if something like this happens again.
It is not good for our karma.
I just don't want to be out directly.
Hi Pedro, hi Els, hi Sarah.
An arrival in style.
A proposal has been made to you on the flight.
I am very curious about your answer to that proposal.
We went for the advantage.
You are letting the Mole suitcase through? - Yes.
Then you can give it to me.
Thank you.
It is a bold choice.
I hope for you that you will not regret it.
Because this means that the Mole will be able to count for a whole trip
on everything that is in here.
And that, friends, makes the Mole one of the winners today.
We did bring in a little money though.
Certainly. We did do that well.
3,000 euros. - Not bad.
Not bad.
Shall we go to the rest and eat something together?
Yes, let's do it. - Good plan.
Hello, hello. - Good evening.
I am glad to see you.
Hi Hilde. I am Els. - With the toes.
Wow, you are a big one. - I know, kid.
But I am doing my best to hide it. - That's not necessary.
Hey. - Hello,
I am Sarah. - Rusiana.
Rusiana. - Hello.
We are complete
after a nice day in and around Bangkok.
3,000 euros was the definitive stake.
Well, I can officially announce to you: in your group pot there is at this moment....
3,000 euros.
And yet, dear friends,
the Mole suitcase is in the game.
Because you have on board of the helicopter
received a proposal from the Mole.
Well, it is like this,
once we departed with the helicopter, we were made the proposal
to possibly not keep the Mole suitcase after all
in exchange for an advantage.
What is the advantage? - We don't know that ourselves yet.
Then we thought that you would probably have made the same decision.
Especially because we didn't have to give money in return for it.
Now no money, but it is going to cost us something.
You already had the money and the flight.
You already had two things in your pocket, I think.
I think we are still going to curse and that the Mole will have a head start on us in every test.
I am just a little afraid of that now. - Yes, probably.
That we might still regret it in the long term.
But I also understand the short-term thinking when you are sitting there of course.
You guys earn money and yet the Mole gets the upper hand.
So this suitcase is indeed the Mole's.
But let's forget about that for a moment.
I want to warmly welcome you here in this beautiful city, Bangkok.
Or as they say here, dear friends:
Sorry for my accent, but that is the official, ceremonial name of Bangkok.
You know that. - We know that, yes.
It is also an honor and a pleasure for me
not only to offer you this festive dinner,
but also, dear friends, something indispensable in your search for the Mole.
The Mole notebooks.
Does anyone have a favorite color? - Lilac.
That is clear.
To your health and to the search for the Mole.
Cheers. - Cheers.
Cheers. Cheers.
Wait.
Yes, yes. - Yes, is it working?
I feel like a child in the first year of high school with a much too big backpack.
Look here.
That little elephant is cute.
Will you do the lights? - Yes, I will do the lights.
Wow. - You have to see what a view we have.
Wow, wow. - That is awesome.
Here you do get the feeling of... - Bangkok.
Oh we are here. - It's real.
Awesome. - Super cool.
You had one job. - Oops, those lights.
Wow, it has really been a super awesome day.
I have to pinch myself a few times to see that it is really happening.
I have all of those pre-packaged bags.
You are exactly going to camp with the scouts.
Look, here too. - Monday this, Tuesday that.
If my mom sees this, she will never believe that I managed to get that done.
You are very well organized.
I think a nice group. Come on, up to now.
With those guys I can easily see myself drinking a pint at the bar.
With the ladies of course too, so...
I think we are going to have a great three weeks here.
May I put that here? - Certainly.
It is ideal that you put yours first, then I can put mine over it.
My love has made notes for every situation. So for the start.
You have already opened that of course. And I have already read it five times.
Was there something nice in it? - Yes.
Simrod was very spontaneous, babbles a lot. - What is his name?
Simrod?
Simrad?
Simrod? Sim...
My little son and daughter each wanted to give me their cuddly toy, so that I would...
So that mommy can sleep well. - Look, there you go.
A sheep and that is the little monkey of my son.
Was that their own idea? - Yes.
He said: Mommy, you can hang this around your neck and then I am with you.
Look. Immediately I am going to start crying.
Away.
I do blame them a bit that they did take the suitcase after all.
That seems really...
I can't imagine that. You don't know what that advantage is
and yet you give the Mole all his tools,
for what is maybe at best a pass question or something.
I think it's really stupid. I can't believe it.
I would not have taken that.
We do feel a bit guilty about it. I am afraid of the advantage
in proportion to the Mole suitcase, whether it has been worth it. We don't know.
I think that in the group of the three people who reached the helicopter,
that the chance is big that the Mole is among them.
The Mole may also have thought:
I'll let this first assignment run its course.
I won't do anything today, I will give the guys some trust.
Pouring a glass of courage.
In the end it turned out well, because we earned money
and the Mole suitcase, important for the Mole, he has also gotten it.
Alexy, do you move a lot in your sleep?
I am quite a quiet sleeper.
I normally sleep naked though. - Me too actually.
But I will change in bed.
The first morning in Bangkok,
capital of Thailand and a wonderful melting pot.
To avoid having to brave the rather lively traffic themselves,
the candidates will be driven around this trip by Thai drivers.
Hello. - Hi.
That still smells new. - Wow, what a chic box.
Hello sir. What is your name? My name is Kahn.
Khan, okay. - Like Shere Khan.
From Jungle Book.
Don't you know the tiger? - That is Khan.
Isn't it Khan? - Kahn.
Okay, it is not right.
Sorry, huh.
Is the destination a secret?
He is well briefed. - Awesome.
I always sit here for a reason. At the table and so on too.
I only see with my left eye. Not right.
You probably had already noticed something. My right eye is blind.
Completely? - Yes.
I have no depth perception. Badminton is a disaster for the first quarter of an hour.
That is really very difficult.
Frisbee, funny for the other people, less fun for myself.
I never want to use it as an excuse not to be able to do or not to do something.
That is precisely a driving force, I think - Indeed.
Of: I will show you. - Nice pun.
Good morning, everyone.
Everyone slept well? - Absolutely.
Welcome to Damnoen Saduak Floating Market
where four of you may effectively play the tourist.
For the other six it will be something more active.
You say it. - I would like to do something active actually.
I also prefer active. - I would like to go to the market.
Market. Okay, active people here.
Super.
Okay, that went smoothly.
Jan, Michèle, Rusiana and Els, you are the tourists.
I wish you a lot of fun. And you may come with me.
Good luck.
- Toitoitoi.
Pennies, pennies.
Okay, well. - We are going to float.
Wow, awesome, guys. - Wow, look at this.
Awesome, huh.
The candidates can earn money by answering
three personal questions.
The more ingredients they collect at the market,
the more those answers are worth.
First ingredient: peanuts.
Thank you.
Which bag are we going to take? - Left.
This bag.
Rusiana. Bulgaria.
The first question will soon be about Rusiana's life in Bulgaria.
That is difficult, guys.
On the way, they have to pass peanuts to the back
with their chopsticks.
I was born in the city of Ruse.
The more peanuts end up in the cup at the back,
the more money they will earn later with a correct answer.
That is on the border with Romania.
The names of my mom and dad are Ana
and Radoslav.
Radoslav? - Radoslav.
I have been in Belgium for eleven years. I am actually Bulgarian.
My husband is Belgian and I came to Belgium for love.
I have worked in Sunny Beach.
That is on the Black Sea. - Sunny Beach.
There I got to know my husband.
Wow, you speak really good Dutch. - Thank you.
I like to babble a lot, so I also practice it often.
I have two brothers:
Ivailo and Boyan. - Ivailo and Boyan.
While Rusiana is explaining her life,
the rest arrive at the local Thai boxing club.
He is already looking disgusted.
I think it is towards you, Pedro.
Friends, this is Tam, champion in Muay Thai, Thai boxing
and your opponent. - Okay.
Intense.
You have chosen an active day.
But, friends, do not fear.
The intention is that you will still look recognizable afterwards.
So Tam has agreed to fight blindfolded.
And you may also enter the ring in duos.
Two against one then.
Friends, who are going to be the duos?
I would like to be with a man, if that is okay.
I would like to be with you, Alexy.
Maybe Hilde with Pedro? - The two oldies together.
Us with each other, Alexy? - Yes, that's good.
Then I will already come stand with you. - And we will together.....
Will be alright.
The candidates put on combat clothing.
Yes, try it once. - Wow, that does land. And also directly hard.
Their blindfolded opponent is wearing five ribbons with movie titles.
The duo in the ring must pull off as many ribbons as possible
and act out the movie titles.
But as quietly as possible,
because if someone is hit by the boxer, they are out of the game.
Tam is looking forward to it, so I have provided some extra protection: mouthpieces.
You are going to need them. - Thank you.
Do you put that completely in your mouth, this thing?
HARMONICA
Should I help? - No, that is not working.
For the occasion, they are wearing a special mouthpiece
with a built-in harmonica.
We are not going to be allowed to laugh.
HALIN We are not going to be allowed to laugh.
Breathe through your nose.
How awesome.
Alexy, focus. Focus.
I think you are ready.
LOUD HARMONICA
I think you are ready. Go to the ring. Good luck.
Let's go, let's go.
Alexy and Sarah are getting ready for the first round.
The jury is also taking place.
Each movie they guess earns 200 euros.
He looks angry.
So this round is worth 1,000 euros.
He doesn't really look that muscular though. - No.
Not at all actually. That is according to me just pure technique.
That is loud.
HARMONICA
They are trying to be careful and trying to get to the ribbons
as quietly as possible.
Grab that ribbon.
But with a harmonica between their teeth
that is easier said than done.
HARMONICA
That was almost.
Come on, Alexy, Sarah.
We have three minutes.
HARMONICA
Well tried. Well tried, Sarah.
Does he have it or not? - No, no.
At the floating market, the candidates are almost at their destination.
Famous Bulgarians: Christo Stoichkov,
They are awaited by a Thai cook
who will use all of today's ingredients to make pad thai,
the world-famous national dish of Thailand.
Not much biking is done in Bulgaria.
There are a lot of holes in the Bulgarian roads. We have very bad roads.
Hello. Sawasdee khrap.
Time to earn some money.
They collected 500 euros worth of peanuts.
But that money is only in if they answer the question correctly.
What is the name of the hotel where Rusiana worked when she got to know her husband?
Sun... - It is Sunny Beach.
But the hotel, I don't think she said that.
Sunny Beach then? Do we take Sunny Beach?
Do we say that? We don't know it. - Hotel Sunny Beach.
They are lucky, both the resort and the hotel in Bulgaria
are called Sunny Beach.
That is 500 euros in.
Come on,
In the boxing ring, Sarah and Alexy have still not managed
to get hold of a ribbon.
Good, Sarah. - Yes, good job.
Sarah has grabbed a first ribbon and is going to act out a movie.
A swordsman. Star Trek. Star Wars. - Karate Kid.
Sword. - Gladiator.
The first 200 euros are in.
All right. Super.
But the round is almost over.
Come on, come on. - Yes yes, with two at the same time.
HARMONICA
Alexy betrays himself with his harmonica.
He is out of the game.
That was quite a hit. - Yes, yes.
Well done. Well worked Mega awesome.
I do think I have sprained my thumb.
Sarah is slightly injured and asks for treatment.
It is completely swelling up.
Nimrod and Pasquino are not deterred
and step into the ring for the second round.
This time, the ribbons do not have movie titles, but famous figures.
Let's go. - Come on, let's go.
From behind.
Good job, Pas. Well done.
HARMONICA
Pasquino quickly grabs a first ribbon
and starts acting out a famous figure.
Right, that is right.
Hello.
At the market, they pick up a new ingredient for the pad thai.
Oh no. Now they are lemons.
And they also choose a second topic of conversation.
Els. Hobbies.
It is also a question mark for me what my hobbies are.
Okay. - I go padel.
I have also kickboxed. - Okay.
Via ferrata, do you know that?
That is climbing at...
It doesn't matter if we know that. Just keep talking.
Formerly as a child, I played the piano. - Damn it...
Then start sewing.
I started shortening my own pants myself.
Done ballet. - Piano, ballet.
Chef. Piet Huysentruyt.
HARMONICA
Yes. - Yes, yes.
Manneken Pis.
Nimrod grabs the fourth ribbon,
but doesn't know how to act out that figure.
Ah shit. - Let it drop if you don't know it.
Fortunately, the candidates can always pass
by throwing the ribbon on the ground.
Drive him back into a corner. - Let him go to the middle.
Nimrod also grabs the fifth and last ribbon,
but the boxer did get him.
HARMONICA
Which hobby does Els like to do together with her boyfriend?
The stake for this second question: 750 euros.
Did she say that? - Have we said anything about her boyfriend?
I thought it was padel with her boyfriend. - I would go for padel.
I would also go for padel. - Padel then.
Yes, thank you.
Padel.
O, come on. Oh, no.
I indeed did not elaborate on that. With my boyfriend I do via ferrata.
No.
They let 750 euros slip away.
One more round to go
and for that they get the most essential ingredient of pad thai.
Noodles.
How do we have to do that? Not with the mouth or something.
Before they leave with the noodles, they have a choice of two bags.
This one here, the left one, please.
Michèle. Love.
Love, you can talk about that a lot.
For the last question, they have to pass the ingredient blindfolded.
Meanwhile, they are also getting to know Michèle well.
So the love of my life is Laurens.
I have known him since I was still a student.
Rusiana, I am here. - Okay.
Cut, cut. - Go ahead.
A handsome guy at university.
He was chairman of everything and anything.
He was someone who was out of reach for me in my life.
May I come? - Yes, come on.
Pasta.
I have him in the swimming pool...
Faster. - ...for the first time spoken one-on-one.
He couldn't stand it in the swimming pool that I as a woman
swam past him easily.
Rusiana. - Yes.
But he also found that attractive in a woman.
He is also man enough to be completely okay with that.
All right. Let's go.
Hilde and Pedro have started the last round.
Good, good.
The boxer's ribbons now have five proverbs on them.
Grapes?
Take grapes. Let's take. Let's put away.
Pedro passes for the first proverb.
He has thrown it away. - Thrown away, damn it.
What they do find is what Hilde exactly wants to say here.
Getting out of bed on the wrong foot.
And Pedro already has a third ribbon in hand.
Christmas tree. Spire. The apple doesn't fall far from the tree.
Attack, Go, go. - Go ahead, Hilde.
Just go. - Go ahead, Hilde.
HARMONICA
Pedro takes a hit and is out of the game.
All hope now rests on Hilde.
Hilde, come on. Just go for his neck. You have nothing to lose.
Attack.
Yes, yes, good. - Good, good. Oh, you got that one.
Diving.
Babbling. - Begging.
Tail. - Pig.
Monkey?
No, damn it. What was that? - Barking dogs...
Dogs? Wow, sorry, but that is not a dog.
You have done it really well.ac - Okay, okay.
You have done it really well ong - Okay, okay.
Super. - Well done.
Now we are renovating together, a bigger house with a garden
for a dog someday.
There was nothing in there, I think.
I didn't want children until he in Italy actually
gave first aid to a man who had sustained a skull fracture.
Laurens has pressed that skull shut for two hours until a helicopter came.
Laurens was standing above, above that body.
He said very calmly: Call our friends who are emergency doctors for information.
I see here that the skull is open and that there are exactly some brains bulging out.
Call once. That guy went to get the helicopter.
I'll stay here. Don't come.
At a certain moment the people from the helicopter come.
Those emergency doctors relieve Laurens. He is allowed to let go after 2.5 hours.
He stood up straight and the blood of that man was hanging down to over his elbows.
It is very strange, I didn't want children... It is very strange, but at that moment
it popped into my head: I must have a child with him.
That is real.
I can't say it any other way. That was pure instinct.
That DNA I must keep in the world.
And a year later I was pregnant.
Fuck, there was nothing in it. - Ready?
Yes. - Come on, faster, guys.
Time for the last question.
On the way, they have collected 250 euros worth of noodles.
During which activity did Michèle get to know her partner?
I didn't hear anything. - Damn.
I really don't remember that anymore. - Wasn't it at a party?
But which activity?
Partying or what? - Swimming?
Okay, yes, that's good.
Swimming?
Yes? Yes.
They will get this question right.
In total, they earn 750 euros at the market.
Now I am getting hungry though.
The cook starts on the candidates' dinner.
Fighters.
Hello. - Hi Gilles.
How much does your boxing afternoon yield? - 1,200 euros.
I'm sorry, but it is only 1,000 euros.
The apple doesn't fall far from the tree.
Pedro, you have portrayed that excellently,
but you had just before that dropped your ribbon on the ground.
You are kidding me. - That is a pity.
That means you pass for that proverb.
Christmas tree. Spire. The apple doesn't fall far from the tree.
1,000 euros is still not bad.
So I would say, enjoy the evening. See you tomorrow, friends.
After a hard-fought day, the boxers have
earned 1,000 euros.
Together with the 750 euros from the market
the group pot rises to 4,750 euros.
Hello.
Wow.
Wow, you guys look good. - We have done Thai boxing.
That is cool, huh. - That is really cool.
Also sprained thumbs. - Oh no.
You have had to take some hits, so we have Pad Thai with us for you.
That you have made. - Super, guys.
Wow, thank you. - Enjoy your meal.
Enjoy your meal, everyone.
Enjoy.
I can't hold my sticks anymore.
After a tasty meal, Sarah goes to the hospital
just to be sure.
Tell me.
They have taken photos and it is not broken.
Yes, that was exciting.
But it has to go up for 48 hours and then it should be better.
Really good. - I have muscle relaxants to sleep well.
There can be dealt, guys.
What did you want to order? - For me a prosecco or a cava.
Just do a bottle. And how many glasses?
Take four glasses. Take four glasses...
Do four glasses, please.
A bottle. Does anyone want something else?
Just do white wine. White wine. - Ein weiss...
You are in Germany.
Cheers. - Chin-chin.
Day 3. After breakfast, the candidates
go exploring Bangkok.
Sarah wants to write something in her mole book
and enlists the help of Nimrod.
Just write down: day 2, cars.
Mega hard thank you, but I should maybe have taken someone with more readable handwriting. - That's right.
Look. - Awesome.
That is awesome. - That breeze.
Laughing.
Good morning everyone. Right from the river.
It is your third day in fantastic Bangkok.
It is also your third day in your search for the Mole.
How far along is that?
There is only one way to find out.
It is time for the first elimination.
Twenty questions about the Mole
and what they have been up to in the past few days.
I wish all ten of you very good luck. - Thank you.
It was coming. - I thought we would have another test.
I think I haven't felt this nervous anymore
since the internal medicine exam 35 years ago.
That was terrible.
I think I am okay.
Now you try to spread, most people anyway.
Unless you are sure.
Are you ever sure? That is also the question.
cen vrouw
Everyone could be it.
Yes, I am not it, so...
Except me.
I have spread over the three candidates who were in the helicopter.
Also because Sarah and Pedro - me in terms of personality seem good Moles.
Sarah is very...
She is first of all a lawyer. They are paid to lie.
Okay. The Mole suitcase, guys.
Yes. - Top.
I am keeping an eye on Els, because the best place according to me
to sit as Mole on the boat, was definitely at the back.
With a garden for a dog someday.
There was nothing in there, I think.
Which hobby does Els like to do together with her boyfriend?
Padel?
O, come on.
I had mentioned via ferrata, but I think it was mainly Jan and Michèle
who had blocked it when I asked if I should elaborate further on it.
Aler dalweLt The Mole who had blocked it when I asked if I should elaborate further on it.
Via ferrata, do you know that?
That is climbing with...
It doesn't matter if we know that. Just keep talking.
With Michèle, I noticed that there were a lot of noodles at her feet.
He was chairman of everything and anything.
That was for me someone who was out of reach in my life.
Hilde would be a wonderful Mole.
She is clever. She is alert. She could do it.
It would just be so nice that someone like that
leads a group of silly pigs completely up the garden path.
I would find that awesome. I have her in my sights.
Barking dogs...
Dogs?
At the Thai boxing, Pedro throws away the ribbon before the question has been answered.
Christmas tree. Spire.
I found that quite suspicious.
The apple doesn't fall far from the tree.
Pas has told me that he is blind in one eye.
Then I thought: As blind as a Mole.
Then I also think: What is the proverb?
In the land of the blind, the one-eyed man is king.
One of my main suspects is Alexy.
He has not brought in any money yet.
He is sporty. He has earned nothing at Thai boxing.
Even me, I don't see so well and I have even been able to catch one.
To date, we unfortunately still have no idea
what our personal advantage could be.
I assume that at the elimination that advantage
will suddenly be made public.
Yes, I think I am done.
Dear friends on the ground floor.
I am waiting for you on the roof.
As soon as you are here, we will start the elimination.
For one of you, these are therefore the last moments.
Or maybe not.
Maybe your journey upwards can change everything
and nobody has to go home tonight.
Between now and their arrival upstairs, a lot can still happen.
The ten elimination chairs are ready on the roof.
One of these ten is currently the eliminated candidate.
In principle, they will soon get a red screen
and it is over for that candidate.
But the group can ensure that no one has to go home tonight
by disabling chairs.
Because someone who doesn't have a chair escapes elimination.
In other words, if they disable the eliminated candidate's chair,
then there is no eliminated candidate.
So it is up to the candidates
to disable as many chairs as possible.
And it also earns money, 200 euros per chair.
Everything is decided on floor 37.
The elevator does not go up there, but it will stop five times.
You decide yourselves who gets out where.
Oh my God. - Wow.
At the moment, the elevator is on the ground floor.
On the way up, the elevator will stop five times.
Each time, a duo has to get out
and walk the rest of the way by stairs
to the 37th floor, to the switchboard.
Each candidate can disable one chair here.
It will have to be quick, because the elimination starts in 10 minutes.
How are we going to divide the couples? I suggest man-woman.
I would make duos with a bit the same level of sportiness, I think.
I would put the sportiest people as high as possible,
if they have little time, that they still get to the top as quickly as possible.
If you are on three... You are not going to do thirty floors....
How long does it take you per floor? - That depends on person to person.
Nobody does 37 floors in ten minutes. - Do you think so?
That is not possible.
One more thing.
Three of you still have something coming from me.
Els, Pedro, Sarah,
your personal advantage.
You are now getting an envelope.
Oh my God.
Are we allowed to know it or not?
What does it say? - It is just my seat number.
It is our seat number.
Each candidate who reaches the switchboard,
may take one chair out of the game.
But because there are no names on the switches,
they don't know whose chair they are eliminating.
Sarah, Pedro, and Els do know that now.
They know for sure which chair is theirs
and can therefore disable that chair
and ensure themselves of the next episode.
If they get upstairs on time, of course.
Okay.
That is a good advantage.
Ten minutes, friends,
then the elimination starts.
Good luck.
Nineteen. - Who is getting out at nineteen?
The elevator goes straight to the nineteenth floor
and thus already skips half of the stairs.
Sarah, are we going together? - I don't think you guys should go together.
•Not the people with the tickets, they may not get out first, I think.
Pas, are we getting out first?
We are getting out. - You may not as...
I don't want you to go with another ticket.
Two people without advantage. Two people without advantage, come on.
We are going.
We have no advantage, both of us not.
Okay, good.
As long as they are people without advantage, I am content. Sorry.
We are not allowed to get out now. When are we allowed to get out?
Which number from 1989 is from Aerosmith?
The door to the stairwell is locked.
They can unlock it with the right card.
But the cards are attached with a chain.
love lift us up where we belong
That is not Aerosmith. - That is not from them.
Love in an elevator. Crowded elevator. - That does ring a bell.
Crowded elevator. Both not.
We are going for B. - Yes, I am also going for B.
What do we have to do? - Probably saw through that thing.
With a saw, that is not possible. - I think it is.
While they get to work, the elevator leaves again.
Downwards.
They descend to the eleventh floor.
It is so low. - Eleven.
Who is going out? - You guys go now.
Why do we have to go now and does Pedro...
Go, go. - Damn it huh. Really.
What is the name of the character who in the book of Roald Dahl
flew around with a glass elevator?
Matilda is not it. - Daantje I don't know. Do you know Daantje?
What does he do? I don't know Daantje:
Charlie and the Chocolate Factory. Charlie flies with an elevator.
Do you think so? - Yes, I think so.
What do we have to do? Saw through C.
We are on the eleventh floor. - Wow, really.
Shit, boy.
The elevator has now dropped off two duos
and is on its way to a new floor.
23, are we getting out? - Yes.
We will make it, I think. - Yes, we have to.
Good luck, kids.
In which city is currently the highest building in the world?
A: Abu Dhabi. B: Shanghai. C: Dubai.
That is the Burj Khalifa in Dubai.
Are you good at that or not? - That sawing through?
That is just sawing. Come on.
From top to bottom.
Keep going. Keep going.
Come on, persevere.
Meanwhile, the elevator shoots upwards with a jerk.
33. Yes, 33.
Shall we go then? That is feasible for us.
We will definitely make that.
Go, go, go.
Who installed the first public elevator in 1874 in New York?
I only know this name, Schindler.
Schindler is an elevator name. - Where do we have to saw?
Easy, easy. - Just saw here?
Just do it.
But Els' sawing doesn't yield much.
Fortunately, she can count on Hilde's help.
Come on. - Come on, keep going.
Yes, now you are going to do it.
Yes, badge in.
Yes, green.
The door opens and Sarah and Pedro can begin their stair climb.
They have to bridge no less than 26 floors.
But if they are on time, these two know exactly
which chair to disable to be safe themselves.
If we keep that up, it is definitely going to work.
Definitely.
29, that is okay. - Okay, that is feasible.
What does it say? 11 - Which of the following elevators really exists?
A nerve elevator.
A shabbat elevator.
Trumpet elevator.
I have never heard of it, a nerve elevator.
Then we will scrap that one. A trumpet elevator.
Shabbat elevator.
Trumpet elevator. - I think shabbat elevator.
That really exists? - So...
Yes, okay. Where is the stairwell?
Is that the stairwell? - Here, here.
Yes, go, go. - Run.
Okay, come on.
Jan and Nimrod can also start walking.
Because they got out much higher than Sarah and Pedro
they also have to do a lot fewer stairs.
Sarah is meanwhile struggling with Pedro's scorching pace.
Yes. Stop. It is already enough. Okay, top, top.
Where, where... - Where is the stairwell?
Where is the stairs? Here, this is it.
Where? - Where are the stairs?
Scan, scan.
The scanner. - I don't know.
Where to scan? - You have to look, I see nothing.
Where? Scan.
Green. - Okay, let's go.
Upstairs.
Fucking hell.
Good, Els, just a bit more. Yes.
Quick, quick.
Just try it.
Say that it is not true. Damn it.
Oskar Schindler is not an elevator manufacturer,
but a resistance hero from World War II.
What are you doing now? Brothers Otis.
I don't know it. - We are going to take Krupp.
Yes? - Yes.
Yes, very good.
Yes, yes, yes.
Yes. - Yes, run, run. Come on.
Four duos are meanwhile walking to the 37th floor.
That is going somewhat smoother for one than for the other.
SIGHING AND GROANING
That is just never going to work.
Well done.
Good, Els, great. Yes.
Take it. Here.
You do it then.
Damn it.
Still this one.
Nimrod sees the sign with floor 37
and goes looking for the switchboard.
It is not here.
Here?
Okay, Mole.
Day three,
the assignment with the elevator, well studied?
Yes. I want to cause as much time loss as possible.
You have asked us something very specific to put in the suitcase.
It is ready.
What do you think
of this?
Awesome. That I can just stick over 36.
Upstairs.
But here is 37.
The question is: when are you going to stick this over that 36?
Because then you would actually have to come up first.
I have to find a moment when I am alone, so that it does not stand out.
Wouldn't that work during my elimination test?
We are going to try it. I will make sure that this is in the suitcase
in your room when you fill in the elimination test.
I can't anymore. - Yes, we are there.
Okay.
Take... - Lucky number then.
Go.
Chairs 3 and 5 are disabled.
The first money is in.
Alexy and Pedro are meanwhile also on the 36th floor.
Where is that here?
Where is that thing?
Fuck, how is that possible now?
We don't find that thing, Michèle.
Putain, we were at 36.
Quick, quick.
Well done. - Where is Sarah?
Where is Sarah?
Pedro.
Okay, Pas...
I don't find that switch.
Wait.
What? Guys, this is 36 here.
Fuck.
It is to be hoped that Sarah will also make it. She had a good start.
Yes, but it is far, huh.
Here is 37, guys. - Rusiana.
Rusiana, get out. Get out.
It is not here? Fuck. - Get out.
Come on.
Oh, no.
The ten minutes are over.
Stop, stop, you are too late. - That is not possible.
Only five of the ten candidates were upstairs on time
to turn off a switch.
Out of time. - Damn.
That could easily have been more.
But the mole suitcase has thrown a spanner in the works.
The Mole suitcase is here. - We have stopped on the wrong floor.
Yes, us too. - There were two times 37 hanging.
At 36 there was also already 37.
I have stopped with Pedro on 36.
Someone has changed the level of that thing.
The Mole had an extra sign, I think, and has just hung 37 on it.
With 5,750 euros in the group pot
they walk the last stairs up to the roof.
Whose chair is disabled
and who does have to sit down?
Putain.
Five candidates escape elimination:
Michèle, Sarah, Pedro, Jan, and Hilde.
I think that is so bad to see. - That is not bad.
Be happy, you deserve it.
But with the other five, nerves are now tightly stretched.
Because if someone of them is the eliminated candidate,
they will soon get a red screen.
Welcome, all five,
for an elimination and petit comité.
They are safe.
Their name will not be entered into the computer.
They don't have to be afraid of a red screen.
I therefore really hope for you
that the eliminated person is sitting there.
If the eliminated person is sitting here,
we are going to find out very quickly.
Are you going further with nine of you
or will it be with ten?
Is there anyone who wants to start?
Nimrod.
Rusiana.
Pasquino.
Alexy.
Els.
You are the last one.
Guys. What was that?
With ten of them, they continue the adventure.
They all go through to the next episode.
So the eliminated candidate was one of these five.
Michèle, Sarah, Pedro, Jan, or Hilde.
And the mole, who has used the mole suitcase for the first time. ```
They are still going to curse that suitcase.
I think so too, yes.
Do you already have an idea for episode 2? - Yes.
I was thinking about the train.
Guys, that is a countdown timer. - Fuck.
They sometimes call this the Dragon Tower.
Leave that. Go, go.
Peter Van de Veire is a pig.
It is actually a nice guy, our Nimi.
Ça va, ça va. No problem. - Yes.
You are eliminated.
But help then. - I am going through.
I am going for the group. Really, you know it. I am goodness itself.
