Mini Mole: Season 3: Episode 4 - Everyone At Risk


Episode 4: Everyone At Risk

------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------

Angelica: Well, I'm happy that $4000 was added to the group's kitty today. Only 3 envelopes were found, so that must be the work of that sneaky mole! I must say, it seems like the group has a good groove going and so far we're keeping ahead of The Mole and their tricks! We're all working quite well as a group and I'm scared that after today, our beautiful group of ten will be absolved into a sadder, smaller group of nine... I just pray it's not me that gets left behind.

------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------

Hayden: 103?... 104... Nicky and Angelica? Perfect!... I hope that she's here. I'm done with playing hide and seek after today.

*Hayden knocks on the door*
Hayden: Yo, anyone in?
Angelica: ... Just a second!

Angelica: Oh! Hayden, hi! How're things?
Hayden: Oh, hey... Didn't expect to see you here!
Angelica: ... In my room?
Hayden: Uhhhhhhhhh...
Angelica: You weren't looking for Nicky were you?

Hayden: No no! I was actually looking to have a chat with you, actually. Mind if I come in?
Angelica: Of course! I was just working on my strategy to memorise what happened in todays challenge... You know, for the test we'll inevitably be doing later!
Hayden: I hear that. Then this conversation will be right on topic then!
Angelica: Come in. Come in.

Angelica: Do you want a soda or juice or something?
Hayden: No, thank you though.
Angelica: No problem! Did you want to sit outside or?
Hayden: We'll just chill on the bed. Sucks our rooms don't have any tables or chairs.

Angelica: I guess it keeps us from outside of our rooms at least. 
Hayden: Oh totally! Little less privacy for one on one chats though.
Angelica: I get that. My goal is to always be out talking with everyone. They've all got some fantastic stories to tell, let me tell you.
Hayden: I was thinking more of a game perspective though. This is a game about information, right. So private chats are a must!  

Angelica: Oh, I understand. Is that why you wanted to have this chat with me here?
Hayden: I wanted to propose something to you, actually.
Angelica: Go on...
Hayden: Firstly, I have to know... Are you The Mole, Angelica?

Angelica: Me?!... The Mole?!... Ha.... Uhh.... *Angelica takes a big sip of her drink*
Hayden: Is that a... No?
Angelica: *muffled talking* Can't talk... drinking...
Hayden: Riiiight.

Angelica: Let me ask you then, mister! Are YOU The Mole?
Hayden: In everyone else's eyes, perhaps... But between you and me, I am NOT The Mole.
Angelica: Good good! I'm not The Mole either.
Hayden: Don't worry, I didn't think you were. That's why I came to you.

Hayden: We'd be an unlikely duo, I feel. Let's face it, I'm more in tune with the guys and you're more in tune with the girls. I think if we trust each other completely and team up, we'll become an unstoppable force until the final three.

Angelica: Wait, so you mean like an alliance?
Hayden: Sure! Why not?! We can share information with each other. Tell each other our thoughts on The Mole. Gather information from other people. We'd be a solid team.
Angelica: And you trust that I'd give you good information?

Hayden: Dude, you're probably the nicest of all the peeps here. I can't imagine you've got a bone in your body that would feed me false info. So yeah, I believe you would.

Angelica: And how can I trust that you're not gonna lie to me to get ahead? Your envelope did go missing recently and cost us $250.
Hayden: Hey, I've got a strong theory about that! A solid suspect who thought she was doing a smart move as The Mole!
Angelica: ... Really?

Angelica: Well, you tell me all about your hunch and if... IF...  I believe you, then the answer is yes. Yes, I'll be in your alliance.
Hayden: Killer... Now, hear me out!

------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------

Hayden: I've enacted Stage One of my plan to conquer this game: Get a trustworthy ally to take to the end. Two heads are better than one, and I think this new alliance will help me get a hold of all the cards in this game. I trust Angelica will give me the good stuff, and all I had to tell her in response was some overconfident story about how my envelope was swapped with Nicky's! She bought it hook line and sinker... I mean, don't get me wrong. Nicky's a big suspect on my list right now, but man for a professional storyteller, Angelica sure listened hard to every damn word I said.

------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------

Tina: Alright, guys! We got $4000 in the bag and obviously that calls for a celebration this afternoon! Drinks are clearly on me... Just don't tell the others that I'm trying to loosen some lips and fish some information out of them! Tehe!... Hey! Don't judge me! I wanna get to know these people, but if I can get a ittle bit of secrets out of them for the quiz, that would be knocking the top goals off today's list! If I can somehow manage to get myself a foot massage, that'll be a full bingo! 

------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------

Tina: Ladies and gentlemen, your party has arrived! Drink up everyone! We've got a whole night to party cause we don't know if or who will be here tomorrow!
Lawrence: You pretty much just described every college party I ever went to...
Tina: Uhhh? Did people often just disappear the next day orrrrr...?

Lawrence: Chyeah!The freshmen come to one party, drop out a day or week later... That or its the alcohol posioning. You know what it's like...
Tina: I don't please tell me more about your college experiences! What did you do? What classes did you take? What's your shoe size and date of birth? You know, the general non-Mini-Mole-related stuff!
Lawrence: Uhhh...

Everett: ... so, my grandfather was my like, father for about four years.
Nicky: No way! Four years?! I've only been DJing for that long and it feels like forever ago since I started... What happened with your parents? Did they just leave?!
Everett: I uh, still haven't quite worked it out. It's all so taboo for some reason. I mean, it's not normal for your parents to just up and uh, leave one weekend when you're visiting your grandparents, right?
Nicky: Nope... I can't say it is.

Everett: They uh, claim it was for "work" but... Dude, my dad was unemployed for what felt like a majority of my childhood. At least grandpa taught me about how to handle money.
Nicky: Perhaps they won the lottery and blew it all on a dream vacation.
Everett: Yeah, and leave nothing to their son? Parents of the year... I could have had horse riding lessons with that prize money!

Nicky: Hey, why ride a horse when you can ride a cowboy? Wink wink!
Lawrence: Did you just say, wink wink? Girl, you've got a naughty side to you.
Nicky: Me? Naughty! Pffft... I'm the angel my parents always wanted. I put the Saint in Nicky St Clair!

Lawrence: If the college bros I used to hang with have taught me anything, it's how they turn a good girl bad. Not me though, I'm too busy... You know... Acing my exams and stuff.
Nicky: Oh, I bet you're the REAL expert in turning sweet gals like me into devils advocates!
Lawrence: Hey, a gentlemen never kisses and tells...

Tina: *whispering to herself* Wow. This is working way better than I thought it would. Why don't I do this every night?... Oh wait... I DO! 
Everett: Uh... What do you do?
Tina: What?! Nothing... Was just dreaming of a wedding... Unrelated. Go onnnnnn...

Nicky: Interestingggg... And what happens when there's NO gentlemen involved?
Lawrence: Well, I couldn't say, I'm a gentleman, remember.
Nicky: Well, what happens when I'M the one who kisses a gentleman? Do I get to tell orrrrr...
Lawrence: Depends... 
Nicky: On what?

Lawrence: Well, does the lady have a gentleman in mind?
Nicky: Hehe! Can't say...

Everett: ...

Nicky: Hey! Who says it even has to be a man! 
Lawrence: Chyeah, dude! I'm all for that.
Nicky: All for it as in...?

Lawrence: Guy, girl, whoever! Kiss who you wanna kiss, ya know?
Nicky: Damn right! Cause let me tell you, I've kissed a whole array of genders. I've pretty much collected a whole set at this point!
Lawrence: Bro! Me too! College was a wild place, hey!

Nicky: Oh My Gawd. That is just too funny! Are we both bisexual?! 
Lawrence: Chyeah, totally dude! We probably got a lot in common then.

Tina: *whispering to self* Tina, you genius! This is working out perfectly... Note to self. Don't confuse Bi and Buy when you're writing this down later.

Everett: Yeahhhhhh... I think I'm gonna go...
Tina: Wait! But you didn't even touch your drink!
Everett: I'm just not feeling it tonight...

Lawrence: So you're a DJ? Guess you get to do a lot of partying then.
Nicky: Damn right I do...
Lawrence: Tight.

Nicky: No comment...
Lawrence: Wait... that wasn't... a question...

Tina: Yep, Everett was right to leave. This is getting wildly uncomfortable...

------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------

Lawrence: Nicky is totally wild. She's a huge flirt too! I bet she'd be a tonne of fun to party wtih sometime. In my experience, the DJs always are... And hey, I bet behind that wild exterior she's got a bit of a brain too. Don't get me wrong, I'm not here for a serious relationship. I'm just here for some fun while I'm on my gap year!

------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------

Madelon: Well, so much for my plan to hide my envelope in the girls' bathroom. If, as Carlos blurted out, Lucy the maid betrayed his confidence and gave his envelope to the Mole, then she could very well have found my own envelope for the Mole as well. Which means that it could yet again be anyone. So back to the social game I go, poke people a bit with theories to see if I can get something out of their first reaction. Maybe even have a nice chat with Lucy, maybe it can give me a clue on who to focus on during the Quiz.

------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------

Madelon: Where the heck is he? Carlos said he'd meet me here for a bit of a chat. I know he's got more insight into what went down. I hope he knows the quiz could be tonight!

Madelon: Oh, hey! Lucy, right? 
Lucy: That's me!
Madelon: Do you have a moment to talk?
Lucy: Sure, of course. What do you need?

Madelon: I just have a couple of questions, if you don't mind.
Lucy: Of course, I'm here to help! If you have any questions or concerns you can ask any of the staff here and we're more than happy to help.
Madelon: It's less about the housekeeping, and more about Mini Mole.
Lucy: Oh! Okay.

Lucy: I don't think I can be much help. I didn't even know you guys were filming a show here, until you showed up with cameras!
Madelon: But, you've managed to find yourself lost in the games, just like the rest of us!
Lucy: You guys keep bringing me into it...

Madelon: Well, a certain someone in particular keeps bringing you into it, you mean! I think you know who I'm talking about, and I'd like to know more about them!

Lucy: Oh! Hehe... You mean, Carlos! He's such a sweetheart! So charming... and so totally hot! I get little butterflies every time I walk by him! If you wanna know more about him, I can try and put in a good word with him!

Madelon: That's not necessary! Also, I think you're misunderstanding what I'm trying to imply here. I more meant... Someone else...
Lucy: Uhhh... You?
Madelon: Well, yes, right now, but...

Madelon: Is there someone else that keeps talking to you? Perhaps... The Mole?
Lucy: The Mole? Is that a person or an animal?
Madelon: A person... Someone in disguise maybe. Perhaps talking to you in secret, or making you do secret tasks.
Lucy: Hmmm. Nope! Unless they've asked me to clean up a mess they've made, I haven't spoken to anyone in secret!

Madelon: Reallllllly... That's interesting. So no one told you to take any envelopes for them? They didn't tell you to hold onto any in confidence? Nothing?

Lucy: Nope! Nothing... Now if you'll excuse me. If I don't clean up these bathrooms, my boss is totally gonna kill me!
Madelon: Of course. Thank you for your time, lovely.

Carlos: Oh! Hey, Lucy. Mind if I talk with you quickly?
Lucy: Uhhhhcan'ttalkIgottacleanIloveyoubyeeeeeee!!!
Carlos: Oh... Yeah... Sure.

Carlos: "I love you"... Gee. Got her hook-line-sinker...
Madelon: Carlos! There you are. I didn't think you'd actually show up.
Carlos: What? Oh! Hi...
Madelon: Come sit.

Carlos: So... You wanted to talk?
Madelon: Yeah, about the previous challenge.
Carlos: What about it? Come to lecture me about losing us $2500? I got enough of that from Coach Glen this morning.
Madelon: Not at all. I wanted to know about what happened there though. You gave your envelope to Lucy?

Carlos: I did. I felt I could trust her to keep it safe. Guess that didn't pan out like I planned. Guess you just can't trust anyone around here, even those that aren't playing the game...
Madelon: I understand. I think she might have betrayed me for The Mole too...
Carlos: Oh, really? How so?

Madelon: Well, I thought up a clever plan to outst the Mole as a male or female. I thought if I hid my envelope in the ladies' bathroom, only a lady would be able to find it.
Carlos: ... and a lady did find it?
Madelon: Naturally... But now I know that that lady could have been Lucy. My plan seriously backfired.

Carlos: You know, that does sound like a genius plan. I'm quite impressed, actually! However, like I said, you can't even trust the people who aren't playing this game...
Madelon: Apparently not.

Madelon: So if that's how your envelope went missing, and how my envelope went missing. We know that The Mole has their grips with Lucy. I don't think anyone else knows this yet, so I'd like to keep that between you, me and Lucy, if you would?

Carlos: And why would I do that? Huh? You think I don't remember the blowup from Challenge One? Why shouldn't I go and spread my information as I will?

Madelon: Becuase you're smarter than you let on... You know its in your best interest to keep it between us. The less information the other's know, the better your chances to stay in this game.

Carlos: Point noted. I'll keep it between us... And hey, between you and me, I think you're smarter than YOU let on. You're a clever lady, and a beautiful one at that.
Madelon: Why thank you, Carlos. I appreciate that.
Carlos: You're welcome, and for what it's worth-...

Madelon: Wait... 
Carlos: Huh?
Madelon: I'm sorry for what happened in the first challenge. I shouldn't have judged you for your choices of relationship.
Carlos: I was just going to say let's bury the hatchet! I'm sorry for my attitude too, especially toward Nicky. I was embarrassed about my past and it was uncalled for... Truce?
Madelon: Truce.

Nicky: How does anyone sleep this early? It's only 1am?!
Angelica: *mumbles in her sleep*
Nicky: *whispers* Oops. Right. Sorry Angelica...

------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------


------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------

Sharon: I feel like I've really had a glow up in recent days. I turned from a wannabe tomboy with a heavy justice complex into a wannabe tomboy with a heavy justice complex AND a good cup of coffee. Will this help me with the quiz? I don't fucking know, but I finally have good coffee! If you hear this Memphis, PLEASE get us a new coffee machine for the police station. When a TV Show tells you that you were addicted to 'brown sludge' for years. No wonder some people are afraid of me, haha.

------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------

Sharon: Oh, yessss. Come to mumma, you sweet sweet life-altering juice!

Sharon: God, it smells so good! Honestly, what is a morning without coffee, am I right? I don't understand how people can just go from waking up to being energised without it. Like, honestly...

Glen: Gah!This coffee tastes like dirt compared to my machine back home. I need it to be about ten times stronger if I'm gonna make it through today's shenanigans...

Sharon: Morning Coach! God, how good is this free coffee?! 
Glen: Yeah, it's alright I guess...
Sharon: This stuff is soooo much more flavourful than the crap we get back in the precinct. Honestly, for people who drink a lot of coffee, the police really need to step up their coffee game.

Glen: Yeah, you get used to it...
Sharon: Get used to it? How would you know about the precinct coffee epidemic, huh "Coach"?
Glen: I don't... I meant getting mediocre coffee wherever you go. Trust me, the only good coffee comes from my pricey machine at home. Once you taste that good stuff, no morning coffee is ever the same.

Sharon: And how does one afford an expensive coffee machine on a Coach's wage?
Glen: I'm gonna pretend like you didn't just ask me that...
Sharon: I meant... Nevermind.

Sharon: What about barista made coffee? You know, from a proper café experience? How does that compare then to your "pricey machine"?
Glen: Honestly, it's about the same but cheaper in the long run and easier to get cause all I gotta do is press a button.

Sharon: Our Precinct Captain, McKinley, they've gotta get us one of those or I'm gonna start a riot.
Glen: Aren't police officers meant to stop riots?
Sharon: True, but that's just how passionate I am about it.

*They both take a sip*

Glen: May I ask you something, Sharon? Should I call you Officer?
Sharon: Whatever floats your boat, Coach.
Glen: I'll just stick with Sharon. You're not on duty now, anyway.
Sharon: I'm always on duty... I don't ever put down my obligation to justice.

Glen: That's very noble of you, I must admit. I wish more people in this world felt that they had to do the right thing, even when it's not required.
Sharon: I try my best.

Glen: As a female police officer, do you feel like you have to prove yourself more than others in your precinct, even when you're not on duty?
Sharon: Dude, all the time. That's part of the reason why I never stop. Male officers always have this... ignorance about them.

Sharon: Not saying they're bad people. Heck, the people in my precinct are freakin' fantastic. I just mean there is a certain stance that everyone has that female officers aren't as tough, commanding or as valid as male officers are. But hey, I prove them wrong every day! I aim to work my way up to Police Captain one day.

Glen: That's really insightful, Sharon. Why stop at Police Captain? You could make it to Commissioner or work in PR to inspire younger females to follow in your footsteps. It might take you some hard work, and a large number of years, but you've got the gumption. I believe in you.

Glen: I just want to see you succeed, better than I could.
Sharon: You're here to tell me you haven't succeed in your life? You're as wise as they come, Coach.
Glen: I mean, I believe you've got the mindset and the commitment to do great things. I'm a bit of a wash-up. 

Glen: I'm 53 and my greatest accomplishments are my three kids. God bless, them. But you, you're going places in this life, Sharon. I can feel it. You're meant to do great things for your community... Hell, you're probably going to do great things for the whole world if you work hard enough!

Sharon: Woah, Glen. You really think so?!
Glen: Honest. I wish I had someone who believed in me when I was young and full of aspirations, and I'd like to see people like you succeed in their fields and make the world a better place. If you ever need guidance or support, I'm there.
Sharon: Wow. Thank you, Coach. Honestly, that means the world to me...

Sharon: Oh, and Glen...
Glen: Yeah?
Sharon: You really are a Coach, aren't you...
Glen: 'Course. It's in my nature. Now should we ditch this place and find a REAL coffee?
Sharon: Is there a no rules saying we can't?!

------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------

Everett: *sighs* What a bad way to start a morning... Honestly...

Everett: It's a dumb emotion for dumb people, but I just can't help but feel... Gross... I should just let it go. Honestly, I won't let this ruin my whole experience. This show is a once in a lifetime! I can't let emotions get me down. Not like this.

Nicky: Hey! Everett! Good morning!
Everett: Huh? Wha?

Nicky: Over here silly!
Everett: Oh... Hi, Nicky.
Nicky: Why the mood, little dude? You're all by yourself?
Everett: Yeahhh... I'm just not feeling great today...

Nicky: Want me to sit with you at all?
Everett: Uh, no... No, thank you. I'm just... I'm just gonna go get breakfast...
Nicky: Oh, okay sure. I'm usually not up this early. Breafkast, you say? Do they serve the same as brunch orrrr?

Everett: Listen, Nicky, I have to tell you something or it's gonna ruin my day keeping it in.
Nicky: Sure? What's up? Is this about last night, when you left the little party we were having with Tina and Lawrence?
Everett: Yes, actually. I just-...

Nicky: Oh god. I know exactly where this is going too...
Everett: I just thought we had like... I dunno... I felt like you and I were kicking things off.
Nicky: I knew it....
Everett: I could tell you were flirting with me, since we both started hanging out after the challenges. Then all of a sudden it's hardcore with Lawrence and...

Nicky: Look, Everett... The truth is... I really like you. You're cute, you're fun, you're adventurous. I WAS flirting with you, but...
Everett: But what...?

Nicky: That's my strategy. My strategy is to flirt with the guys, and work my way in with the girls to get information.
Everett: That's even worse than: "but I like Lawrence better". That's actually quite sickening playing with people's feelings like that!
Nicky: Look, I know that... But...
Everett: No buts! I don't wanna hear a "but"!

Nicky: BUT!... My intentions with you were REAL. I was gonna tell you about it in secret but... I didn't want you to think less of me or get hurt...

Everett: Well, you sure blew it Nicky... Really blew it...
...

Nicky: Yeah... I guess my party's over...

------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------

Sharon: ... And that's when I decided to become a police officer!
Tina: No way! What an awesome story!

Hayden: Woah! Damnnnn. Who drank all the coffee?!
Glen: I needed it to be stronger, so I took a couple more. Can't get through the day without it.
Hayden: I hear that! This is what's gonna get me through the quiz, if we have one.

Tina: Speaking of the quiz?
Taiha: Good morning, kittens! Hope everyone has had a good catnap last night!

Taiha: Woahhhhhh! That is a LOT of coffee! Y'all are gonna be hyper today! Drinking this much caffeine can NOT be good for you...

Taiha: Either way, I hope you've studied up! It's quizzzzz timeeeeeeee!!!

------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------

Taiha: It's time for the quiz! Five questions about the identity and actions of The Mole, and a ranking of all the suspects from most to least suspicious! The person who scores lowest on this quiz, and therefore knows the least about the identity of The Mole, WILL be sent home.

Lawrence: Sup, Skeledude. Wish me luck! I need it...

Lawrence: Alright, question one... What room number is The Mole staying in?

Everett: 104... 105... 202... 203... or 204... Hmm...

Madelon: Question Two: In Challenge Two, what choice did The Mole make?

Tina: A. See their screen or B. Skip their screen. It's 40-60, if I remember correctly.

Sharon: Question Three is... In Challenge Three, did The Mole give their envelope to another person? Wait... People DID do that?

Carlos: Yes or No... Yes or No... YES or NO... Tough choice.

Angelica: Question Four: What The Mole's envelope found by The Mole?... Yes or No?

Glen: Question Five. How much money did The Mole's envelope have... $50, $100, $250, $350...

Nicky: ... $400. $600. $750. $1000. $1500... or $2500? Oof.

Hayden: And finally as always, rank you suspects from highest to lowest. You will only get points for putting The Mole in number 1... Alright. That's it. All over! Good luck, Hayden.

------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------

Taiha: Here we are, my kittens. That unfortunate but necessary time. Sadly, today, there is no twist that can save another one of you from elimination. One of you has scored the lowest in the quiz and will be leaving right now.

Taiha: You've all been scored on your quizzes, and one by one I will call your name to see what your fate lies. As you know, a green screen means you are through to the next episode.

Taiha: However, get a red screen and you have scored the lowest in the quiz, and have been eliminated. You will say your goodbyes, and leave by the provided taxi out front.

Taiha: Tonight, only your quiz can save you. With that being said, would anyone like to go first to see their screen?

Hayden: Sure. I'm game. Go big or go home, I guess...
Taiha: Hayden... Good luck!

Nicky: NO!!! Why me?!
*Everyone gasps*

Taiha: I'm sorry, Nicky, but we have to go.
Nicky: *sighs* Yeah, I guess... I guess we do. I guess even nocturnal me couldn't catch that sneaky little Mole.

Nicky: Good luck everyone! Catch that Mole for me!
Everett: Goodbye, Nicky!
Glen: Have a safe travel, Nicky!
Angelica: See you soon!

Nicky; Major bummer... Honestly, I'm heartbroken to be the first one going home.
Taiha: That's the unfortunate part of the game. One bad quiz is all it takes. I'm so sorry, Nicky.
Nicky: The worst part is that I spread my quiz, and I still feel I missed every mark.
Taiha: Sadly, it does come down to luck with these first quizzes. I guess luck wasn't on your side today.

Nicky: Unfortunately, I left on a bad note, especially with Everett. I really thought we'd make a great friendship, maybe even a little flirt, but we really fizzled at the end there. Sucks I won't be around to repair that relationship.

Taiha: Any last words before we say goodbye?
Nicky: Is there any chance I can come back to the game? A twist?
Taiha: Unfortunately, no twists to save you tonight. It'll be off on the first flight home for you.
Nicky: Bummer...

Nicky: I had a blast of a time. I loved meeting everyone, and the challenges were killer. I'm sad I don't get to go on the rest of the journey, but hey, I can at least say I was on Mini Mole. That's more than most people can! That's the positive take away from here.
Taiha: That's a great take away, if any!
Nicky: You win some, you lose some, and now I gotta move on to find my win!

Taiha: Goodbye, Nicky. It was an absolute pleasure to have you on our show!
Nicky: It was amazing to be here. Thank you, for this opportunity!
Taiha: Safe travels.
