* Three, two, one,
* here I come.
* Looks can deceive.
* I'm not what I seem.
* And you should be afraid of the big, bad me.
* Come.
* Looks can deceive.
* I'm not what I seem.
* And you should be afraid.
* I'm coming for you. *
Hey everyone.
The moment has finally come.
The hunt for the mole can begin.
And the first thing you get to do
is get to know each other.
Hello. - Hello.
Wout. - I'd give you a kiss, but we're stuck.
What's your name? - Julie.
Hey Wout. - Kristof. Nice to meet you.
Wow, there's only three of us.
Hello.
Oh wait, there's five of us.
Hello. - Hello.
Dries. - I'm Karla.
I'll give you a hug later. - That's fine.
Hello. - Hello.
Hello. I'm Maxim. - Isabel. Hello.
Sorry, Chanel? - Isabel.
Hey Isabel. - I'm Abigail.
Who are you? - I'm Maïté.
Hi, hey Maïté. - And I'm Vinne.
Vincent, but everyone calls me Vinne.
I hope all ten of you are ready for this, friends.
Because the stakes are enormous.
You're stuck on this island.
But the journey actually begins
over there.
On the mainland.
And the question is, friends:
how many of you will make it to the mainland?
Oh, hell. - No.
(door bell opening)
Hey mole. - Hey Gilles.
Almost time.
I'm excited. - I believe you.
But we have a small problem.
You know, The Mole is played with...
With ten contestants.
We have twelve.
And how are you going to solve that?
I'm not solving anything.
You are.
You may now pick from these twelve people
the two strongest
and put them outside the group.
Choose wisely.
What happens here today determines the entire journey ahead.
Because there are challengers on the way.
Right now there are two people on their way here, friends.
Numbers eleven and twelve.
Handpicked by the mole and put outside the group.
But they really want in.
And if they succeed,
they take the spot
of two of you. - What?
Oh, shit. - No.
I don't know about you, but I don't want to go home yet.
Me neither. - Nobody does.
I'd really like to stay. - I think we all would.
I can't explain to people at home that I only lasted one day.
Whatever happens,
only ten people will be sailing to the mainland shortly.
If those ten are you,
you earn in one shot
€10,000.
If that's not the case,
you earn nothing and some people will lose their spot.
Right, we need to grab that €10,000. - Yes, €10,000 and our spots, indeed.
So there are twelve of them and there's only room for ten.
Soon the contestants will battle it out on this beach next to the fort
for their spot in the group against numbers eleven and twelve.
(tense music)
For now they're still locked up.
They first need to free as many of themselves as possible
to fight for their place.
The faster you're free, the better your chances.
Good luck.
Okay, we need to take action now.
What can you do?
There are floats with keys here.
I can see my name there, Karla.
I think we need to find water somewhere to fill those barrels.
The keys to freedom are floating in a tube.
To retrieve them, they need to find water.
We're going to have to do something with that shower, I think.
I don't know how to turn on the hose. - What now?
My biggest fear is that they explain the task
and you don't quite follow.
So you see everyone going: okay, we're going to do that.
And then you're just sitting there thinking: what did they just say?
And you do something completely wrong.
And everyone's like: come on, mate, what are you doing?
Try pushing against it with your lid.
I hadn't spotted that one yet.
On the other side of the fort
the contestants are tied to a wooden cross.
The only thing they need to do to get free
is get to know each other better.
Maïté.
Maïté has one minute to share as much as possible
about her hobbies.
I used to play drums. Then I stopped because I had tinnitus.
As a hobby I like to go look at houses I'm not going to buy.
I play different scenarios as the daughter of a wealthy family.
So the parents are going to buy a second house and it doesn't matter which one.
Or a rich man who lives in Dubai.
So I always say: My husband is in Dubai on business.
I sometimes feel guilty towards the people who put their time into it.
On the other hand, they earn enough too, so it's fine.
After exactly one minute Maïté is silenced.
The others now get a question about her hobbies.
With a correct answer the executioner will free one contestant.
Which extravagant hobby did Maïté quit out of guilt?
She stopped drumming because of tinnitus?
But that's a medical reason. - That's not guilt.
Our answer is: visiting houses without buying them.
Yes.
Maxim gave the right answer and is the first contestant to go free.
I'm going to give everyone a little round of applause.
Dear friends, the first rope has been burned through.
What?
Numbers eleven and twelve are trying to block the exit of the fort.
Every minute they're allowed to fire an arrow.
If they shoot through five ropes, the fort gate will close.
Anyone still inside will be locked in
and can no longer fight against numbers eleven and twelve.
For the contestants inside the fort it's therefore crucial
to free themselves as quickly as possible.
You might need to turn it.
That pole can go up. - Should I lift it? That can't be right?
Full force, full force. - Ah, you have to pump it.
Down and up.
Keep going, keep going. Yes, water's coming out.
There are gutters in our thing.
If three of us stand together, we can get water into that thing.
Good work.
They've figured it out. Karla and Dries pump the water up.
The others guide the water via their wooden blocks into the tubes.
That of course requires perfect coordination.
Keep pumping, guys. Keep pumping.
Yes. - Yes, we're at it.
Where are you from? - From Turnhout.
I can hear it a little. - And you?
Bonnei. - Where?
Bonheiden.
Julie, a little higher. - Okay.
Wow. - Mate.
Wait, everything is basically flying into my neck.
Would you like to be the mole? - I really think I'd be good at it,
just because I can make things fail without anyone noticing.
I can't hear anything going in.
I've often thought I have some kind of coordination disorder with my hands
because I'm so often clumsy.
Opening a cabinet door and hitting yourself in the head with it — that takes talent.
Ah, it's Vincent. - Okay, this is about sports, I think.
Just to say that I am absolutely not sporty.
I did play tennis for a couple of months once.
I also did ji... jiu-jitsu.
I might do a bit of skiing occasionally... That's it.
What does Vincent think is the strangest sport in the world?
He didn't say that.
Padel? I think padel is weird.
Or darts. - Yes, darts.
Okay, who says it? - Me. Darts.
No, no, fuck. - No.
Cyclocross. - Come on.
That's the least weird sport ever.
Who designs those courses? I get racing on a track, that makes sense.
Then they say: It was a bit too easy, let's add a sandpit.
Then someone says: You can't ride through it. That's the point.
So they do that. And the year after: now someone rides through it anyway.
We'll add some beams. Do they have to dismount? Yes.
But it's still a cycling race though?
(tense music)
Come on.
The second rope has been burned through.
The second rope is through, guys. - Three more ropes holding the gate open.
Yes, great, hold on.
I'm going to try to reach it.
You can do it.
Okay, let's go. - Come on, hand it to me.
Julie is freed from her block.
Now she has her hands free to help the others.
Julie, close it now and hold it.
My dream was always to go line dancing in America, but that never happened.
My sister said: We'll do line dancing at your wedding anyway.
So they were going to do a flashmob line dancing to that song.
They asked: Would you be up for joining the last bit of the dance
as a surprise for Antje?
And now they're putting a hat on my head.
Then I'm supposed to: should I join in?
(country music)
I model for drawing sessions as a nude model.
I've had a few embarrassing moments.
Once a tampon fell out of me because it wasn't sitting right.
I was also late once and guess who was in there?
My ex's new girlfriend, the one he'd cheated on me with.
That was also pretty awkward.
I can't draw myself. I've never even tried.
I always failed art class.
What was Maïté's most embarrassing encounter as a nude model?
That'll be the guy, her ex... - Her ex's new girlfriend.
Isabel, you answer? - Her ex's new girlfriend.
Yes, let's go. Good. - Pick up the pace now.
I'm going to give you a good buzz right away.
As a banker, do you have client confidentiality? - It depends on what the client tells me.
If someone tells me they go to parties where everyone
has to take off their underwear and everyone...
Yeah, that doesn't fall under client confidentiality for me.
I have to pass that on.
Did you all even know that existed?
Yes, almost there. - Let's go.
Grab it, grab it.
Okay. - Okay, next.
Do mine. - Wow.
I genuinely can't do this any longer, guys. Sorry.
Where are you, Wout? Here. - Come on, this isn't working.
You're really not going to... Then we'll stay stuck.
We're pumping, we're giving you water, so it's Karla or Dries.
Come on, one of us, let's go.
Which one of us do you trust most, me or Karla? That's the question.
Karla.
Thanks. - Damn.
I don't know, somehow I have a lot of bad luck in my life.
I have a cross-allergy. I'm allergic to birch pollen.
But if you're allergic to birch pollen, there's also a good chance
you're allergic to apples, cherries, walnuts.
I once asked: Shouldn't I do a test to see what else I'm allergic to?
Back then they still used patches that they stuck on your back.
I got the results back:
allergic to everything.
The lab called: they'd never seen anything like it.
Turned out I was allergic to the glue they use to stick the patch on.
Good? - Yes, stop.
Come on, I'll pump. - Do mine now.
Which of Isabel's cats has dementia?
It'll be the oldest one. - Yes, Toulouse.
Yes.
Demented Toulouse. Yay.
On both sides three contestants are now free.
They can decide at any moment to walk out of the fort
and take on numbers eleven and twelve.
But then of course they leave fellow contestants behind.
I think once three ropes are cut we should head to the gates.
Okay, we just keep going. - Yes, Abigail.
I like watching Thuis.
I've been watching Mooi en Meedogenloos since I was in the womb.
Mooi en Meedogenloos was on VIJFtv for ages.
Then it went off air. I was gutted.
A couple of years ago I was talking about it with someone who said: It's on Eclips TV.
I started watching and said: Oh my God.
Called my husband and he: you're calling me...
I'm in a meeting, you're calling me for this? I said: You have no idea how happy I am.
Yes. Yes. - Yes.
The third rope has been burned through.
The third rope is through. - Come on, we're out of here.
Bye, see you soon.
Maïté, Isabel and Maxim play it safe.
They don't want to risk getting locked in.
Fuck. - Fuck.
That means they leave Abigail and Vincent behind
and their turn is over.
On the other side they've just fished out Wout's key.
The third rope is loose, guys. What do you think?
Let's do Dries next. Come on.
See how fast it goes, it went really smoothly. - Come on, let's do it.
Pump.
The fourth rope has been burned through. - Yes, come on.
The fourth rope. - Fuck.
Sorry, Dries.
Here too they decide to walk out of the fort
and leave Dries behind.
Damn.
For Dries, Abigail and Vincent the adventure isn't over yet.
But their participation now lies in the hands of the other contestants.
Leave two contestants behind with an overview.
Hey. - Welcome, welcome.
Hey. - Hello, hey.
Leave two contestants behind with an overview.
Wow.
I wouldn't put myself in the overview role. - I'll go for the overview.
I'm happy to stay here. - So the two of us go?
That's fine.
Five contestants have escaped from the fort.
Fuck.
The fate of the whole group is now in their hands.
Can they secure their place as a group of ten?
Or will someone lose their spot to contestants eleven and twelve?
Welcome, friends.
Look each other in the eyes.
Hello. - Hi.
Yannis. - Yana.
Hey Yana.
Wow. - Yannis, Yana,
I have good news and I have bad news.
The good news is that the mole
has identified both of you
as the strongest and most dangerous contestants in the entire group.
The bad news:
because you are the two strongest contestants,
the mole has put you outside the group.
I unfortunately mean that literally.
You are currently not
among this year's ten contestants.
Okay.
That's a gut punch. - Thanks a lot, mole.
That's a gut punch. - Yes, okay.
You will get a chance to do something about that.
So numbers eleven and twelve are Yannis and Yana.
Come on, Yana. - Come on.
Focus.
And here on this beach it will now be decided
whether they can force their way into the group or not.
The notebooks of the ten contestants are on the beach.
If the five contestants from the fort
can get all of them to safety,
they earn €10,000
and the group of ten stays unchanged.
If that fails and notebooks are left behind,
nothing is earned
and Yana and Yannis may take a notebook
and earn their place in the group, at the expense of others.
Maybe the weakest should go first.
What? - I mean...
I'm willing to sacrifice myself.
Then you can see what happens, how it goes.
But if I do it, you need to bring my notebook too.
But we don't know which one it is.
There is indeed a problem.
The mole notebooks are personalised and each belong to a contestant.
But that's not written on them.
Only Julie and Maïté have that information.
Okay, those are the mole notebooks. - Oh right.
Where is your name? - My name is here. Yours is here.
Julie and Maïté can see on this overview which notebook belongs to whom.
They hold crucial information. They're the only ones who do.
Do we tell them the truth or do we lie?
I don't know. I find it a tough one.
We first pick the ones for ourselves.
Which is pretty selfish. - Obviously.
And then we give a number from a random notebook that's nearby.
So I might say: 9, 10, 6.
Hello, hello. - Yes.
It's Isabel. Can you tell me which notebooks I should grab first?
6, 9 and 10. - Which one is mine?
9 is yours.
Okay, I'm going for it.
Bye. - Good luck.
Come on, Isabel. - Come on, Isabel.
To get a notebook to safety,
it needs to land on this rack, behind the two archers.
Isabel can save as many notebooks as she wants.
But if she gets hit by an arrow, her attempt is over.
Two at the same time, come on.
Man, that's difficult, I think.
Wow.
She just needs to unclip the notebook from the chain,
but the nerves are getting to her.
Yes. Come on.
Fuck, man. - Oh my God.
Isabel's attempt is done,
without freeing even a single notebook.
Who's next?
Doesn't matter. - Maxim, you're the youngest, I think.
Come on then. For the group. - Come on, Maxim.
I'll go. See you later, guys. - Come on.
Hello. - Hello.
Who's here? - Maxim. It's Maxim.
Maxim, has anything worked yet? Have any notebooks been secured?
No, no notebooks have been secured yet.
Then we'll pass you your notebook. - Yes. And ours, of course.
That's 6, 9 and 10.
But I feel like you're giving me wrong information.
No, that's not true. - Honestly not.
I genuinely don't believe a word they say. - Come on, Maxim.
Stay calm.
Come on, man. Jesus.
Wow, he dodges well.
Come on.
Fuck, that. Fuck.
He's got one. Good, good.
He's got a first notebook,
but stays in the field for now.
Come on. - Fuck.
I often watch things on TV, people putting in an amazing performance
and I think: that can't be that hard.
I also often think with The Mole tasks:
why is that so difficult?
I'm not trying to be arrogant, but maybe a bit overconfident.
Come on, Yana.
Maxim immediately wants to free a second one.
And he succeeds.
But then he gets hit.
That was it.
He's got him. - He got hit.
No way, man.
That was it. Now I've got him.
Well done, man. - Well done.
It did come loose. - It's free?
Yes, I think it's free.
Maxim did indeed free two notebooks.
They're now lying on the beach for the taking.
So there are two notebooks free. If I can just pick them up,
that's pretty easy for me. - Okay, fair enough, good idea.
Come on, Karla, ten notebooks.
When you introduce yourself, you always have to say what you do.
But I'm not actually working right now,
because I had breast cancer.
What I have right now is YOLO.
That's something I learned from my stepchildren.
You only live once.
Well, I'm really trying to apply that now.
I even went to the sauna alone once with just one breast.
Fuck it. If they stare, they stare.
I mean, that's just it.
(tense violin music)
Got it.
Karla gets two mole notebooks to safety.
The owners of notebooks 3 and 5 don't know it yet,
but they're now guaranteed a spot on the adventure.
And those are Maxim
and Dries.
Hello. - Hello.
Which notebooks should I grab?
6, 9 and 10.
Give it everything, mate.
You can do it, come on.
The next brave one. This one has no fear.
(rousing string music)
Kristof doesn't stand a chance
against the by-now well-practiced archers.
All the pressure now rests on Wout's shoulders.
Come on, Wout.
He needs to save no fewer than eight mole notebooks
to earn €10,000 here
and keep the group of contestants unchanged.
(tense music)
Well done.
He doesn't let the grass grow
and frees one notebook after another.
Keep going, keep going, keep going.
Come on, man.
Wout has freed his own notebook
but doesn't know it, so he keeps going.
Careful, careful.
Yes. - Yes, yes.
Fuck.
It's over. They're leaving €10,000 on the table.
And Yannis and Yana have secured their spot in the group.
They may each now take over a mole notebook.
That means two other contestants will lose their spot shortly.
Dear friends, a masterclass in archery.
Contestants eleven and twelve, Congratulations. You're now part of the group.
I suggest we get to know you.
Hello. - Hi.
Yana. - Yannis.
Well done. - We really wanted to be here.
Of course.
Congratulations. - Thank you.
Yannis and Yana, to take part in The Mole, you need a mole notebook.
That will be one of these notebooks that wasn't saved.
Fate will decide
whose notebook you take.
You may each choose an envelope.
Come on.
Two of you are guaranteed your spot, because two mole notebooks were saved.
Maxim.
Go on, man.
Well done, mate.
The only other notebook that was saved
is Dries's.
Oh, Dries.
Congratulations. - Thank you, thank you.
You're leaving €10,000 on the table.
And two of you will be stranded here.
Which mole notebooks are left?
Who among you is still getting on the boat to the mainland?
The first notebook...
Isabel.
The next to go:
Julie.
The next mole notebook
belongs to Wout.
Let's go, Wout.
Maïté.
The second to last notebook...
belongs to Kristof.
Wow, Kristof, great.
Good luck, everyone.
Thank you.
And the last mole notebook...
Karla.
Wow. - Oh my God, sorry.
Sorry. - Poor thing.
Do well. - Yes, sorry.
I feel so bad for you.
Sorry. - That's the game.
Vincent, Abigail, I'm sorry, but your adventure ends here.
The rest of you,
Portugal awaits,
with zero euros in the group pot, but with ten contestants.
You may head to the boat.
(music: 'True Faith' by New Order)
After a very intense day on the island,
the contestants have finally arrived on Portuguese soil.
Now the journey truly begins for these ten,
with Yana and Yannis, without Abigail and Vincent.
Yana, do you feel guilty that you knocked two contestants out?
Guilty? No, because I thought I was one of the contestants too.
I think it really sucks for them. - They didn't see anything.
They never got free.
* I used to think that today would never come. *
It was exciting for us. - I found this mega exciting.
Me too. - Jesus.
When he opened those envelopes, that was just...
And then being the last one left. - Wow.
I was under so much stress. - But yeah.
I am genuinely not going home now.
Can it be a bit less warm here?
Warm, sorry.
Where are you from, I really want to know. - Turnhout.
Such a rich accent. My mum is from Turnhout.
So funny.
(music: 'Na na nada' by Capitão Fausto)
After an hour's drive they arrive at their first destination.
Porto.
It's quite something here. - There's that famous bridge.
Come on, room 4. - Let's go, man.
Wow, this is not bad at all.
What a day. - Wow, what was that?
Absolutely. - But we made it.
The old-timers made it.
It hasn't quite sunk in yet, but I am so proud
to be one of the ten contestants sitting here.
I hadn't expected it to start with such a plot twist.
It's closer than I thought, but it's pretty special.
Just now in the car we were already laughing so much.
There are some real characters in the group.
Do you snore? - I'm not going to lie to you right away.
It can happen.
I snore and I've brought the best thing you can imagine for it.
Wow. - I've brought earplugs for you.
Seriously? - Yes, honestly.
Thank you, that's a great gift. - Please, enjoy them.
I notice I've already clicked really well with Karla.
That went really smoothly right away. We immediately started talking about:
where are you from? Do you have kids?
She's already given me advice about kids and how to start a family and everything.
Yes, great.
I feel like I already have a connection with Isabel.
In my normal life she wouldn't be someone I'd know,
because we have an age gap and we live in different worlds.
It's a strange thing, but because we started together,
I already have a good feeling about it.
My wife bought me something.
She said: You always suffer in the heat.
A cap with a fan built in. Try it on.
Wow, man.
I'm so happy to be part of this now.
That I don't have to slink home after the first day.
Because that was my biggest fear.
The next mole notebook belongs to Wout.
That was truly surreal.
I thought: is this my name? Okay, nice.
That notebook — I kissed it. That was genuinely brilliant.
The stress of the island has eased a little
and the mood is relaxed.
But this is of course not just any journey.
I think the ideal position for the mole was with the archers, because...
Getting those ten mole notebooks — that was incredibly difficult.
Yes. - Yes, yes.
I think if I were the mole, I'd want to have been in the position
I was actually in.
Because then I think you know exactly what's coming
and you can practice certain things in advance.
Last night I was told I wasn't in the group
and that I had to fight my way in.
I really had to fight to be sitting here.
That was it.
Just that alone is already an incredible victory for me.
It feels a bit like everything else is already a bonus.
There's still a bit of doubt in me: what's going to happen with those two?
Is something else going to happen?
I have a feeling there's not a small snake in the grass,
but a fat one.
Normally you can feel that, a fat snake in your lawn,
but this one I somehow don't see coming.
Good pace? - No.
Look, in that building or something.
The contestants wake up under a blazing sun
and head into the city.
The first morning of their journey through Portugal.
(music: 'O ladrão' by Madredeus)
Come on, Maxim, the old and the young.
One more time, one more time.
Would you take a photo of us, with the bridge and everything?
Three, two, one.
Would you dare to bungee jump here? - For €10,000.
Sure, but I'd close my eyes and someone would have to push me off.
I'd do it. - But I'd put my bungee cord on first.
(music: 'Orange County' by Gorillaz)
The contestants enjoy everything beautiful Porto has to offer
and settle down for lunch on the banks of the Douro.
What a view, guys.
Cheers. Cheers, everyone. - Cheers, guys.
Cheers, to us.
Phone, Isabel.
Hey Gilles. - Hey everyone.
Did everyone sleep well after yesterday's emotions?
Yes. - Definitely.
Friends, today you get to discover the beautiful city of Porto.
That can be done in three different ways.
Four contestants who like to use their heads.
Four contestants with a sharp eye.
And two who prefer a leisurely boat trip.
I'd say, think it over and see you later.
Okay. - Sure.
Thank you. - Thank you, Gilles.
I can use my head pretty well.
I don't have a sharp eye. I'm pretty much blind in both eyes.
Should I do the sharp eye? - I also want to do the sharp eye.
Me too. I'll do the sharp eye then. - Me too.
Off with the ladies, let's go.
So two left for the boat. - I'd like to do the leisurely boat trip.
If that's okay, I'd also like to do the boat trip.
So Kristof and Yannis will be spending the afternoon on a leisurely boat trip.
That will take place on one of the many rabelos
moored on the Douro,
boats that were used for centuries to bring port wine to Porto.
Floating pieces of history.
Yannis and Kristof, welcome on the Douro for a cosy boat trip.
You'll be sailing through Porto with porto.
I've set up nine different bottles inside.
Your task is very simple: pick out the right bottle.
That's the porto you received as a digestif this afternoon.
Ladies and gentlemen, this is port wine, from this house.
That's good porto. - Delicious, wow.
Kristof and Yannis must pick out the right porto
from nine bottles.
For that they need to go to barmaid Pascale.
Hey Pascale. Can we taste?
No, I'm sorry.
F.C. De Kampioenen.
DVDs.
Here we go.
Warning: Pascale only pours porto when Carmen orders.
So they can't order themselves.
They need to leave that to a professional.
Only when they find a clip in which Carmen orders a glass...
Pascale, I'll have a porto.
...will this Pascale pour a glass.
Come on, put it in.
I'd start with the first one. - Just episode one.
She'll say it in there for sure.
Then just skip ahead until they get to the café.
Exactly, just fast-forward.
Is that too fast or good? - No, that's fine.
Yes, yes.
She doesn't have a drink yet.
I think it's coming now.
They're drinking coffee. - Did she get a coffee?
Yes, she has a coffee. - Come on.
Episode 1 gives them nothing.
Next episode.
Luckily they have all 21 seasons.
We can hardly go through every episode. Or can we?
Yes, we've got it.
If he thinks I'm going to follow him around all day long,
he's got another think coming.
Now then.
Looking for your Xavier?
No, he went to get the rear light fixed.
Order it now, Carmen.
Pascale, a filter coffee.
A filter coffee, that won't do. - Damn.
It will depend on these two champions
whether any money is earned today.
That's only the case if they can identify the right bottle later.
How much money depends in turn on the other contestants
further along the banks of the Douro.
(music: 'A gira' by Trio Ternura)
That's a helmet. - Amazing.
Oh my God. - What's that going to be?
Use your head and earn as much porto as possible.
€400 per litre.
Use your head. - Putting that on our heads.
I feel like an Oompa Loompa.
That really completes your outfit.
There, it's done.
Oh look, those bottles have our names on them.
They need to catch as much porto as possible in their helmets.
On the beams there are ten bottles ready with their names.
A bottle will pop open any second
and they have to try to catch the wine.
Wait, there's another sign there.
To know which bottle, they get one tip each time.
I get so nervous from Dirk's jingle-jangle.
And 20 seconds to decide.
That jingle-jangle from Dirk's free jazz... What's it called?
Free jazz. - He can put that on for a bit,
but after a while I just get so...
That's not music, that's jingle-jangle from every direction.
Dreadful, it makes me so nervous.
That's Karla, I think. - Could be.
Could be. - Should I grab Isabel?
Grab a second one to be safe? Who are you going for?
Isabel. - Definitely not me.
Definitely not me either. - Am I in position?
Forward. - No, backwards.
No, forward.
Backwards.
Amazing. - It's real porto, I can smell it.
Oh no, that's really dumb. But genuinely not bad.
Yes, is there something in it? - Yes, there's something in it.
Half of it is on my clothes, I think.
So far they've caught €110 worth of porto.
But that money is only earned if Kristof and Yannis
pick the right bottle later.
Pascale. - Yes, yes.
Tournée générale.
The contestants with a sharp eye
are also trying to collect as much prize money as possible.
They're playing at the Ponte da Arrábida.
(tense music)
They have to climb no fewer than 260 steps upward,
to the top of the bridge, 70 meters above the Douro.
Good pace? - No.
Wow, my legs, man. - Go a bit slower?
Yes, a little for me.
It takes a serious effort, but finally they're at the top.
Where's Wally? You'll find a tip below.
Oh no. - Oh fuck.
They'll need their sharp eyes,
because Wally is in the city and the contestants need to find him.
Each time they succeed they collect extra prize money.
Wally will move to a new location every ten minutes.
Let's see what this is, guys.
You might not see them with the naked eye, those Wallys.
They do get a tool to help,
but with only this telephoto lens it'll be very difficult.
We need a tip. Guys, it could be left, right,
on the water, in a boat. - We're definitely going down.
I'll stay up here for a bit. - I want to go.
You too, Isabel? - I'll come, that's fine.
Then we go down. - Good luck.
Isabel and Yana head back down to the ground floor to find a tip.
They need to hurry,
because Wally only stays in one spot for 10 minutes.
Shall I have a look around? - You start looking.
Maxim scans the city on his own initiative.
Look in that building or something, on the first floor.
Is that something red? - No, that's a cement block.
Without a tip we won't find it, I think. - It's a needle in a haystack.
Okay, a grid like that.
Where's Wally?
This grid could make the search considerably easier.
Yana and Isabel just need to figure out
in which square Wally can be found.
You need to climb on my shoulder. You need to look through that hole.
Yes, sorry. Yes, yes.
Wow, it's a real squat here, man. Can you see it?
I can't reach it like this.
Robot, R2-...
What? - Robot, R2-...
Okay. - But what?
Here, robot, R2.
Okay, but what is robot?
R2-D2, from Star Wars.
What could we say here? - R2-D2. D2, right.
Okay. - You don't know it?
No.
Okay, but then here, D2. - The crane, downward
and then you see a building and below it.
Yes. - Okay.
The earnings from the Wallys are only paid out
if they identify the right porto bottle on the boat.
And they still haven't tasted anything yet.
Nice and cosy, watching TV together.
She is drinking a porto there, but still.
But she's not ordering it. - Of course, it has to be in the café.
Just fast-forward.
Yes, yes. Rewind a bit.
Yes. Hit play.
Not that I'm unemployed.
Okay, come on.
Doortje, you must be from Boma.
Come on, order a porto, Carmen.
Pascale.
A porto for me.
Yes.
Finally a hit. They can taste a first bottle.
Two portos please, Pascale. - Number 7?
Lucky number 7.
(music: '3005' by Childish Gambino)
No, I don't think this is it, because it has a nutty aftertaste
and the other one didn't. - The other was softer.
Which porto did they drink at lunch this afternoon?
That one is definitely not in bottle 7.
But it is in bottle 8.
At the bridge, Yana and Isabel are back up top.
Which tip? - Under the crane.
You can see a yellow crane above.
Wait, I think I see a yellow crane. - Then look downward.
There's an open space somewhere in that grove.
Oh yes, I see him.
Well done.
The first Wally has been found.
€1,000 prize money added.
Good luck, guys. - Thanks.
Yana and Maxim go in search of a new tip for the second Wally.
And on the boat things are finally picking up.
Pascale, a porto.
Number 3, please.
I don't think this one.
Garçon, a porto, please.
Yes, another little porto.
Number 1.
(music: 'The Spark' by Kabin Crew & Lisdoonvarna Crew)
The next one is:
I auditioned for the musical The Sound of Music.
Yann... - Yes, Yannis.
I also auditioned for the Studio 100 musical The Sound of Music.
I felt at the time: now I've made it.
Where is he? - Here.
Look, am I in position?
Then I wanted to enrol at the conservatory in Antwerp.
But my father was a bit sceptical about it.
I remember after a lot of nagging he said: We'll go to the open day,
but if I don't like it, we're leaving right away.
I said: Dad, it'll be fine, you'll see.
We walked in and immediately to the right were two guys
on a carpet with a didgeridoo.
Yeah... That was pretty much that.
Yes, perfect, stay right there.
My dream was to go line dancing in America.
Mine. That's mine.
Yes. No, backward.
No, a little more forward.
No, more backward.
Come on, guys, clear instructions.
Pascale, my porto is empty.
Number 6, please.
Yes, this could genuinely be it.
Okay, next episode. - Meanwhile we'll slowly drink this one.
So here. I need to get into your neck and look through there.
Maxim and Yana are searching for the tip for the second Wally.
Organisation of countries. With an American flag.
What's it called again, that organisation of countries?
Something with a U? Or F? - Fuck. I can't think of it either.
France, Japan, America.
One, two, three, four... Seven. It's definitely with seven.
I don't know. It's definitely 7, because there are seven countries.
The G7 right? - Could be. Wait.
Okay, come on, back. - Next to that...
If I meet someone on the street or at work
and they ask how I met my husband, I never say: Via Tinder.
I never say that I met my husband via Tinder.
Once a colleague asked me: Yana, how do I pick up a girl?
I'm looking for a woman. I told him:
Just go to a Starbucks, there are tons of women there
and you accidentally knock her coffee over.
Forward. Yes, now backward.
Now that's the story we use: that's how it happened for us.
Then people say: That's just like in a movie.
Left at the pier. - Left at the pier.
Come here, come here.
You can see those helicopter things. - Yes, helicopter, here.
Follow the track. - The blue bus now.
There's a big blue bus going now.
More to the right until you see that tree.
There's a pier there and that's where he should be.
Way over there far away? - Yes, far.
Due to the abrupt movements with the lens,
Isabel looks right past Wally.
And time is up. €1,000 is lost.
Pascale, give me a porto quickly.
Voilà.
Number 8, please.
Finally they get to taste the right bottle.
That could be it. A contender.
For me it's 8 and 6 now. - So that's this one and this one.
Kristof and Yannis are hesitating.
But they can still get help from the rest.
Run, run. - Yes, toward Maxim.
Forward. Backward.
Backward.
Oops.
Phone.
Wait. Oh, there's a phone.
Hey Gilles.
- Friends, sorry to interrupt.
I have one more announcement.
Your fellow contestants will be passing by shortly on their rabelo boat.
They need some important information from you.
On the riverbank they can find out
which bottles are definitely wrong.
But that needs to happen before the boat passes by,
so they need to keep a sharp eye out.
Thanks, Gilles.
Which boat are they coming on, do you know? - We need to keep an eye on the boats.
Maybe they already are. - Then they should be looking.
That wave... Wave there...
Everyone waves from a boat.
Oh right. Okay.
Man, man, man.
Disaster, disaster, disaster.
We've genuinely had way too much porto by now.
I'm allergic to everything.
That's me.
More to the left. - Left, right.
Stop.
That could be it. - That's actually...
I'm putting this one at number one now. - 6, 8, 5.
There's one. Look, that's it.
They spot the rabelo and can now help Yannis and Kristof.
On the bridge a little further up, it says which bottles they can cross off.
What's your favourite so far? Mine is number 5.
Shall we try another one? - I'd try another one.
I'd go. I'd really go. - Me too.
Okay, let's go then.
They're off. To be able to shout to the boat,
they need to be on the bridge before the boat passes underneath.
This is a good pace. Can you keep that up?
Yes, I'll... - Pass it on.
I'm about to stop talking.
Come on, Pascale.
Put on another DVD.
Wow.
Good work, man.
(music: 'Throw down' (feat. Paddock) by Power-Haus)
Bottles 1, 4 and 5 are wrong. Okay, let's go.
1, 4 and 5.
Hey.
(humming the F.C. De Kampioenen intro)
(Wout whistles)
Hello. Guys.
I could sit here quietly for a whole day.
And forget what we're doing.
Hey.
(Wout whistles)
(whistling)
Shit.
Bottles 1, 4 and 5 are wrong.
Bottles what? - 1, 4 and 5 are wrong.
1, 4 and 5 wrong. - Okay.
Message received.
I have no idea what we just said.
Come on, keep going. - So it's 6 or 8.
And on the other bridge too more bottles can still be eliminated.
But here they're still looking for the last Wally.
Second highest mountain in the world.
What's the highest mountain? - Mount Everest? I don't know.
Kilimanjaro. I don't know either. I really have no idea.
Should we just go back up and think about it?
Wait, on a boat maybe?
That could well be.
Would you have a look at which boats might be relevant?
Wally flashes through the frame, but nobody mentions it.
Yana, the second highest mountain in the world?
The K2. - K2?
We have new info. Gilles called.
Kristof and Yannis need important info from us.
So the question now is: exactly where are they on that boat?
Wally is still standing there cheerfully waving,
but the contestants are now looking for something else:
the boat carrying Kristof and Yannis.
(tense music with brass)
I think I can see them. Yes, I can see them.
I can see them sitting below. - What are they doing?
They're watching TV.
Put on a different DVD. - Are we going to grab another DVD?
Yes, a different DVD.
Bottles 2, 3 and 7 are wrong.
(Yana shouting indistinctly in the background)
37.
2...
Yes, I hear something.
Again. - 2, 3, 7, wrong.
What was that last one? - 8? Is that 8?
2, 3, 7.
Wrong. - 2, 3, 7?
Yes.
They've passed the bridge.
All bottles have been tasted, all messages have gotten through.
Only Pascale still has something to tell them.
Thank you.
Pascale can eliminate bottles. Cost: €500 per bottle.
Then we'll eliminate one. - Yes.
Come on.
Pascalleke, tournée générale.
(music: 'Dirty Work' by Steely Dan)
Hey sailors. - Hey Gilles.
Hey guys. - Hello.
Hello. - Hello.
Please don't make me burst out laughing.
Yeah, look. - Good.
Straight. Stand up straight.
Perfect.
Friends, three liters of port, that's worth 1200 euros.
Plus 1000 euros for the Wally that was found.
That's 2200 in total.
Minus 500 for the tip that Kristof and Yannis bought on board the boat.
So we're playing for 1700 euros.
Possibly the first money in the group pot.
That's only the case, gentlemen,
if you brought the one correct bottle. May I take a look?
Thank you.
The one correct bottle was bottle 8.
You chose the bottle with the number...
8.
(candidates cheer)
After two days in Portugal, the first money is in
and that calls for a celebration.
(music: 'You're So Cool' by Jonathan Bree)
OK, guys. - Pascalleke.
Bye Pascale.
This is Porto CRUZ & Tonic.
Port again? - Yes.
Enjoy it.
I'd say, to the beautiful city of Porto, to the first money in the group pot,
but above all to you. Cheers.
All ten of you survived the start.
But to keep surviving in this game, you have to get the Mole in your sights.
(calm guitar music)
After a successful day in Porto, the candidates leave the city behind.
It's warm here. - Yeah, it's warm here, guys.
What the fuck, my shoes reek of seawater.
Yeah, sweaty feet.
That smell isn't me. Do you smell it too?
Yeah, something's...
It could be in the bag. Mine still reek of port and sweat.
In search of fresh air, they drive further into the countryside.
I took part in 2016 in MNM Start To DJ.
I came second.
What was your DJ name? - C-Man.
C-Man? - The C for Calluy. C-Man.
But afterwards I did kind of regret that name,
because semen in English means sperm. - Oh no.
That wasn't ideal.
(music: 'Vento levou' by Felipe Karlsson)
Look, lots of grapes... - Yeah, vineyards.
I hope I get to stay overnight here. - Of course.
Wow, it really is idyllic here.
Gilles is already here. That's not good.
Guys, I'm not going to follow without shoes, I think.
You don't have shoes? - I do, they smelled so bad that I...
Better she leaves them off.
Welcome to Quinta da Eira do Sol, your new place to sleep,
with a view of the vineyards,
fit for the royalty you are.
However, friends,
not everyone will be sleeping here, I'm afraid.
Because this is also the place
for the first elimination.
Who is on the Mole's trail?
And who isn't?
You'll get twenty questions about the Mole's actions.
Take some time to quietly prepare yourselves.
And we'll see each other shortly.
Good luck, everyone. - Thank you.
Tonight it's time for the first elimination.
The candidates prepare themselves, each in their own way.
(music: 'Cobra' by Geese)
Amazing.
Have you already filled in a lot in your booklets?
Yeah, a few pages. - Me too, about seven or eight.
Oh, I have eighteen. - Eighteen pages?
But I have a page for each candidate.
* ...forever and ever, baby.
* Let me dance away.
* Let me dance away for... *
I work at a pharmaceutical company.
I'd write down either pharmacist, or product manager or something.
Write down: nerd.
What do you have about me? - Café owner in Lier.
Running, fitness, you're a goalkeeper.
You have co-ownership of your dog. - Of Polly.
Polly, there you go.
I was born in Paduapuram. - Paduwhat?
Padua... - In India, I can show you.
Here's where I was born, all the way in the south of India.
It's called Paduapuram.
What did you study? - Applied computer science, so...
A nerd. You're actually pretty funny for a nerd.
The worst compliment I've ever received. Thanks.
She's got a point though.
I'm in a tunnel.
I notice the tunnel is lined with neon-lit arrows
all pointing to the same person.
I've gone almost all-in on one person.
I never expected that.
But I also wonder, if I have to spread, how does that work?
Then it's just guessing anyway.
Maxim got two booklets loose, including his own.
How could you as the Mole have influenced that you were there
when your booklet wasn't across the line?
Say I wanted to grab an envelope and Gilles holds it back,
that's not possible. Like: you can't take that one.
You can take all the booklets, but not that one.
So in my opinion the Mole must have kept their booklet safe
or must have been a sharpshooter.
What I noticed is that Yannis hadn't written much in his booklet.
When we got back to the room after a challenge, he'd immediately fall asleep.
I found that pretty strange.
Especially in this early phase, you have to note down everything you see and hear.
Maïté would make a great Mole.
My ex's new girlfriend, who he'd cheated on me with...
You can tell she's intelligent,
but she always seems to know just a little bit more than she lets on.
It could well be her. - That's really...
I'm putting her at number one now.
The Mole has to be in that boat. That's where you have the most control.
And you can guarantee pulling 500 euros from the pot.
Then we'll eliminate one. - Yes.
Come on.
Kristof works in a bar, he knows a thing or two about drinks.
I personally wonder who on that boat said:
Should we buy that 500 euro tip?
The simplest waste of money happened yesterday at that bridge, I think.
Yeah.
Second highest mountain in the world.
What's the highest mountain? - Mount Everest? I don't know.
If they ask me what the second highest mountain in the world is
and you have to give a number and a letter, then I think there's only one...
in the world.
Isabel, when she was standing at the camera...
I just look everywhere.
We tried to explain it with hands and feet.
She kept looking into that camera and wasn't actually looking at the overview.
I don't think anyone suspects Karla.
That's a reason for me to think: maybe.
She was at everything that failed. She was on the beach.
She was under the bridge. That's also Mole behavior.
On a boat maybe? Can you check if any boats come into consideration?
I think the best position for the Mole was at the bottles.
For instance with Wout I found it strange, he's super tall, he drank so much of that stuff
and still caught very little wine.
If I get a red screen tonight, I'm going to be devastated.
It's super beautiful here in Portugal. I really wouldn't want to miss this.
It would go from warm to cold
to ice cold.
Dear friends, our third evening together in this wonderful country
is unfortunately the last for one of you.
The Mole is and remains a relentless elimination race
where not everyone makes it to the finish line.
The start at Forte da Ínsua
all ten of you survived.
But to keep surviving in this game,
you have to get the Mole in your sights.
Tonight we'll only find out
who has already failed to do so.
Yannis.
(rhythmic ticking over suspenseful music)
Wout.
(rhythmic ticking over suspenseful music)
Karla.
(rhythmic ticking over suspenseful music)
Kristof.
(rhythmic ticking over suspenseful music)
Maïté.
(rhythmic ticking over suspenseful music)
Oh no.
Ah, Maïté.
Yeah, really too bad.
That really stings. - That really sucks.
I had said: I don't want to get eliminated on the first day, or as the first one.
But nobody does, of course. - It's not the first day.
It's not the first day, indeed.
It was such a great group and such enthusiastic people, all of them.
But so were you. - Thanks.
I genuinely thought I was on the Mole's trail.
We were lying there, it was our first day,
the hat was pulled off our heads and right away there was this sweet little voice:
hello, I'm Maïté. Who are you?
I'm Maïté.
It's really too bad. Yeah, wow.
Thank you.
The three of us are watching the bottle drain,
like a dog staring at a dead cow.
And Maïté sprints over to intercept one or two last drops.
She really gives it her all.
Maïté, I genuinely thought it was fantastic that you were here.
Really, thank you. - We had a short but very powerful
time enjoying your participation. - Thank you, me too.
We'll see each other again in a few months. - That's it.
Bye-bye. - Bye.
(music: 'Me and the Devil' by Soap&Skin)
Oh no.
Here we go. - Oh dear.
Someone's in there.
* Me and the devil
* walking side by side.
* You may bury my body. *
Come on.
So what now, Karla? - No idea.
Help. - Help.
Vincent and Abigail, one of you is coming back to the candidates group.
Getting out of that car in a moment and then having to say
that you blatantly lied, il faut le faire.
I'm going to look them straight in the eyes, Vinne, and you won't be able to do that.
