Got to Get Out (2025) s01e04 Episode Script
Mimi's Meatballs
1
[clock ticking]
[dramatic music playing]
[Simu Liu] Kim, Spencer, and Stein
are in the middle of their escape.
Kim's idea is good,
dressing up Spencer
as one of our TV production team.
Let's see if one former reality star
disguised as a crewmember
can steal $246,600.
Hey, Spencer, are you ready
for your big moment?
[suspenseful music playing]
[Spencer] Standing in front
of this window,
the light turns green.
I am like, "Okay, it's on,
this is gonna work."
[tense music playing]
[Cynthia]
Is s-someone out? Are they running?
No, no.
I'm just going to the bathroom.
[music continues]
Well, I'm gonna go
put my weave on here in a second.
You put stuff on top--
-Is that your real hair?
-Yeah.
[Steven G.] So, why would
you put something on top?
[Kim] These wigs have just
become part of my life.
[dramatic music playing]
-Um
-[Cynthia] What's happening?
It's a man with bushes.
-[Shane] Oh, it's, it's production.
-[Demi] It's a worker.
[music continues]
[Kim]
Oh, it's production, you idiots.
Yeah, they have plants.
[Clare]
Um, what?
We see somebody walking out.
It looks like a crewmember,
but crewmembers around here
don't look like that.
Our crewmembers
are cuter than that. Come on.
[music crescendos]
-[alarm blaring]
-Oh.
-No!
-Right here.
[blaring continues]
[Shane] I mean,
that would be a fire distraction.
[Steven G.]
That would be a fire move.
[Clare]
Watch. Watch it.
[Susan]
Is that Val? Val?!
Okay.
[Susan laughing]
[Lindsey]
Who is that? Who is that?
It is Spencer disguised as a plant guy!
-That is so funny.
-That was Val?
Why you guys
not paying attention to this?
Not bad, Spence.
For what you had to work with?
I guess it, it would've worked
if I wasn't there at the watchtower.
Dude, I was still confused.
I'm like, "No, it's a worker."
Even though the escape was unsuccessful,
I was pretty close.
I did fake out a lot of the house.
It showed me this is doable.
It's possible.
You did the belly too.
This is [bleep].
-[Rob] Oh, that's so good.
-[exhales]
[Kim] I had the perfect
exit strategy today,
and, well, it didn't work.
Everybody's on high alert,
and I can guarantee you
in the next few days
it's going to get 10 times worse.
There's so many people in this house
and nothing's really
gonna get by anyone at this point.
[Yahné] Which way
did he come in, the front door?
I'm not telling you
where the [bleep] he came from.
You pulled the-- You pressed the button.
I ain't telling you shit.
Of course, I pressed the button.
-I'm not letting him take the money.
-Hell, yeah.
-[Kim] You didn't know it was him.
-Doesn't matter. I'd press
the button on anybody.
I'ma press the button on you.
-Ooh! [laughs]
-[Kim] Good luck.
[Yahné]
I need to defend the pot.
Let's be honest,
there's 20 of us in this house.
Everybody in this house is, you know,
sweet and nice and everything,
but it doesn't mean
I wanna split the money
with you at the end.
Well, well, well,
things have gotten a little spicy.
-[Demi] That was good.
-[Doodles] Very spicy.
That was good, Yahné.
Yay! [bleep] Spencer.
Oh, my gosh.
That was a workout,
-getting that--
-That was [bleep] good, dawg.
I was like [panting]
[Stein] I give Spencer
mad props for trying,
but, honestly, no one
has escaped from this house yet.
It's so [bleep] hard.
[suspenseful music playing]
No one wants to see another person
run away with this money
and deplete the whole pot.
But I actually feel like
it's possible to get outta here.
I'm willing to go to crazy distances
in terms of, like,
sleep deprivation, athletic moves.
I'm gonna put my best foot forward
and I'm gonna try and win this thing.
[thrilling music playing]
[Simu] Twenty strangers
locked into a house
trying to escape and steal a prize
climbing to a million dollars.
What's stopping them?
Each other.
-What's at stake?
-[alarm blaring]
-[Susan] Hit the button!
-[Rob] Hit the button!
[Simu]
Everything.
What's for dinner?
Meatballs.
This is Got to Get Out.
[bright music playing]
Four glorious days
into my brilliant one-of-a-kind game,
and my house guests
are still trapped inside.
So far,
they've had 12 chances to escape.
[Demi screams]
Seven have had the balls to try.
I was so close!
[Simu] Others were
too dumb to figure it out.
What?
I blew it.
[Simu]
And then, there's Rob.
I'm not taking it.
[Simu] Whatever he did.
Still don't get that one.
Money is everything.
It makes the world go round,
especially to the people in this house.
They're, like, obsessed with it.
Will they share it or steal it?
The money clock
has officially hit $300,000,
and just like climate change,
things are really heating up.
[Shane] I think, today,
things are really gonna start cooking up.
It's inevitable that somebody will get out
at some point.
If one person gets out by themselves
that messes up the pot.
[Rashad] With the pot
building up to 300,000,
and it's letting us know
that somebody's gonna
try to steal some money from us.
I'ma learn to be hypervigilant.
It's like 300,000.
That's a lot of money.
That would be sweet, right?
[Clare sighs]
-It would be unbelievable.
-Mm-hm.
[exhales] It's a lot of money,
and I miss my family terribly.
What I wouldn't give
to just be out that gate.
It is nowhere near the-the total,
and it's still a ton of money.
[Simu] Today, two people
will receive exit strategies
with their eye on the $300,000 prize.
$300,000 is a lot of money.
I think that's most of
the people in the house,
that's kinda their magic number.
Now, everyone's ready to run.
Everyone's ready to play.
[Stein] Well, what is your strategy?
What are you thinking?
[Cynthia] Well, as one
of the older ladies here,
I can't run super fast,
so I'm not gonna be the person
that can actually do the escaping part.
It's all the way game on.
Now, I'm watching everyone.
I'm totally trustworthy.
[indistinct chatter]
Uh, do you feel like
you can trust me?
-Of c-- For sure.
-Totally game.
The prize money is over $300,000.
I'd love to walk outta here
with 300 grand
and share it with my family members.
I come from not much.
I was, like, well below the poverty line
until I was, like, 28 years old,
which was last year.
I'm good at running.
Like, I'm a I, I ski professionally,
and, like, I, like, I can, I can, I can
make my way through different places.
-Okay.
-[Stein laughing]
-I'm liking you more and more.
-[Stein laughing]
[Simu] It's good to see
people playing the game.
Speaking of which,
Doodles is playing the game with Athena,
but does he got game?
Athena's got a lot more going on
than meets the eye.
She's a total badass.
We had a big booty pool party
in the hot tub.
We worked together at the challenge.
So, I think I'm gonna
ask her out on a date.
I really hope Athena
says yes to my invite.
[Simu] Well, he disguised
his date invitation
as an escape plan, so
I'm going with he got game.
[Athena V.]
Wow, your makeup looks so good.
I got, I got about
three other options too.
-[Jill] Okay.
-Okay, I'll help you leave
'cause I want, I want less people
in the house, but then
[mysterious music playing]
But-But then it's, um
Yeah, I don't know.
[music continues]
I see a card.
I'm freaking out right now.
No idea who this is from.
All I know is, I gotta run to the bathroom
and keep this to myself
and stay with my thoughts for a second.
[music continues]
[gasps]
-What are you doing?
-Nothing.
-A card?
-Yeah.
What does it [bleep] say?
Is it to your boyfriend?
What does this mean?
Get in the bathroom right now.
Open it, go.
[suspenseful music playing]
That's it.
I thought this bitch
really had an escape plan, guys.
[Athena V.] Doodles is
inviting me for a date.
Not the escape strategy I was thinking.
This is even better.
Get the [bleep] outta the shower.
I thought we were le--
I thought I was leaving today, guys.
I don't wanna go on this date.
I definitely wanna go on this date.
Doodles!
[Simu]
What is happening?
I've gotta be honest, I'm not sure
what to make of this relationship,
but what do I know?
[suspenseful music playing]
Will you shake this in for me?
-Yeah. What, this?
-Yeah. Mm-hm.
A little bit more.
[bread crumbs rattling]
Not shake it-- I mean
shake some in here.
[laughing]
I wasn't gonna question it.
I should say, "Pour some in there."
Shake it.
-How much you want?
-Shake it. Shake it.
Athena and Nick have a date,
and, of course, I'm gonna
make Mimi's meatballs.
We decided spaghetti with a pasta meal
like Lady and the Tramp.
They would suck
from each end of the pasta.
[Simu] Aw, noodles for Doodles.
-I wanna go get dressed.
-Okay.
My nipples have been out long enough.
Don't let this burn.
-Just stir it, like, every 10 minutes.
-Just stir it every
Just keep an eye.
I won't be long.
[Simu] You know what else
has been out for long enough?
My patience waiting
for this lot to escape.
So, it's time to crank up
the ticker tape machine.
[ticker tape machine ticking]
Alright.
Give me somethin' good, baby.
-"No exit strategy."
-"No exit strategy."
"No exit strategy."
[Cynthia] Although I am,
and forever will always be
a Real Housewife of Atlanta,
I am newly divorced.
I started a whole new career
well into my 50s.
I'm a single Black woman
who, literally, is rebuilding
her whole life,
personally and professionally.
[ticking]
Come on, give me a decent clue.
I have a daughter to support,
I have a mom to look after.
I need some money in the bank.
[suspenseful music playing]
Shit. The one time
I don't have my glasses.
Oh, shit.
[softly]
Oh, my God.
"The red bathroom will open at 312,000."
Oh, my God! Oh, my God.
I have an exit strategy.
[Simu]
This is Cynthia's first exit strategy.
The red bathroom window
will open at $312,000,
giving her, or someone
she chooses, the chance
to escape down the driveway
and through the gates
to the getaway car.
[Cynthia] Oh, shit.
Cynthia "Cheekbones" Bailey
just clocked in.
Game on.
[ticking]
[Spencer] I actually hate you, machine.
I hate you.
"No exit strategy."
[ticking]
[Jill]
"No exit strategy."
This game will, like,
just completely tear you apart.
[sobbing]
Oh. I want it so bad.
I can't take this shit anymore.
This is so hard.
[ticking]
It's my lucky day.
"You have received an open sesame.
"Must be used between
309,300, and 310,300."
Holy shit. [laughs]
[Simu] I feel like
I'm stuck in a time loop.
That's right,
Susan has another open sesame.
Do I need to remind you
what happened last time?
Oh, my God. Oh, my God.
Oh, my God. Yes! Yes!
Susan, what are you doing?
It's ridiculous.
Open sesame!
I got nothing, honey.
I got nothing.
I learned maybe, just maybe,
I need to keep my plans to myself.
[Simu]
Turns out for $300,000,
Susie "Looselips" is willing to zip it.
[ticking]
[Val] I'm feeling fierce
in my cheetah-print pants.
I'm feeling ready to take
$300,000 home with me.
Being a new father,
I would be more interested in,
in using this money
to put away for my kid's college,
and, you know, maybe
get my wife something special.
"You have received a kill switch."
[Simu] Val has received
a powerful new gameplay device,
my kill switch.
Once activated, a kill switch
disables the watchtower lever
and the warning system
they've come to rely on.
When Val turns
on the microwave in the kitchen,
his kill switch will be
in play for three minutes,
giving someone the opportunity
to escape undetected by the tower.
[Val] This is huge.
The clue I have is the kill switch
of the watchtower.
Huge game changer.
It's given me an advantage.
But I will need to pair up with somebody
that has an actual exit strategy.
I'm betting on trusting Steven
'cause I can sense that he's someone
that if he does escape,
he's gonna take me with him,
and he's someone that if I escape,
I'll-I'll definitely take him with me.
You get a clue on this one or what?
-I got one.
-Oh, you got one?
It's to disable the tower
for three minutes.
[Steven G.]
Yeah, I got, I got nothing.
I quickly find out that Steven
didn't get an exit strategy
and I'm stuck.
-Which door is it?
-I mean--
[Val] I don't have a door.
That's the thing.
That's the thing.
One of us has to have a door.
If that's the case then we could do it.
Now I need to find somebody
that has an exit strategy.
[blows raspberries]
[Simu] Susie "Looselips"
and "Cheekbones" Bailey
have received today's two exit strategies,
while "Cheetah Pants" Val
has a one-time use kill switch.
Whoever gets out
will win all the money on the clock,
and it will start over at zero,
crushing everyone else's dreams.
"No exit strategy."
-And I was in there forever.
-[laughs]
Alright, then I'm gonna
prep the plates for the table.
No, I'm going.
[Val yawns]
[Susan]
Ohh!
Ohh.
What did yours say, Val?
Come here.
We should shoot some pool.
[whimsical music playing]
I got the same [bleep] one.
[indistinct chatter]
The [bleep] same one, and you're my guy.
I'm trying to figure out
who can help me,
and, all of a sudden, it was like
out of nowhere, it was heavenly.
This angel, Susan, comes out of nowhere,
points to me,
"I have another exit strategy,
and you're my guy."
But, we'll have a short
opportunity between
$309,300 and $310,300.
I love Val. I love the way
he plays the game
'cause he stays under the radar.
But when we look at-- in each other's
eyes, there's a bond there.
I trust him, and I believe he trusts me,
and I wanna dance with him.
And you have to say "Open Sesame"
at the same time
at two locations.
[Val] I tell Susan that I'm in,
and that I have a kill switch.
This is a good plan.
He has the kill switch,
which means the power
upstairs on the tower
when you pull it down, it won't work.
I'm feeling like my plan
is foolproof right now.
Nobody from the watchtower
can alert the people in the house
to press the red button.
It's a win-win.
This plan is flawless.
[Simu] Well, this is
with Susan, so we'll see.
Escapes are like a good meatball recipe,
timing is everything,
and Mimi's meatballs
are starting to smell real good.
Plus, there's over $300,000 up for grabs.
[Cynthia] I finally have a plan,
and I am going to try
my hardest to get out.
For me, I feel like I'm playing chess.
The only move I needed to make was one,
and that is placing myself at this button.
Now that I'm button girl,
I, actually, have a lot of power
in this house.
Here's the thing.
I realize, step two, I'm not a runner.
My best play is to find someone
who can help me,
and hope like hell that they're honest
and they have integrity
and they're going to split the money.
Omarosa is extremely smart.
She's a thinker, and I feel
like at the end of the day,
we will definitely have each other's back.
[Omarosa] I'm gonna go
check for green lights.
-I'll be back. [laughs]
-[Cynthia] Alright.
You know how people pretend like
they're "going for a walk."
-[Cynthia] Exactly.
-I'm gonna go check for green lights.
[Cynthia]
Rashad is the fastest runner,
but I haven't spent any time with him,
so I can't really trust him.
[Rashad]
Cynthia, you running?
When I feel it, that's when I'll run.
I also have eyes on Stein.
Hi, Cynthia.
[chuckles]
[Cynthia] All I have to do
is pick the right person
to take home a bunch of money.
[Simu] There are now
two escape plans brewing.
In order to distract from his plotting,
Val does what Val does best, dance.
A-five, six, seven, eight.
You gotta teach me that,
uh, that dance move.
-The
-The dip?
Yeah, the dip
'cause she already knows it.
-I got you.
-So, it's like
Doodles dipping Athena,
and-and-and having
her weight in his arms.
You see how I'm holding you here?
-Yep.
-So, now lean-- Yeah, see the support?
-Yep.
-So, it's not just
-You try to get it there.
-Okay.
Probably one of the most
romantic things you can do.
She will be impressed.
Like a little lunge to help you.
[peppy music playing]
-Nice.
-Got it.
Boom. You dip her, fix her hair
and bring her right back.
And that's how you do it.
[Shane] Oh, man,
he's getting ready to distract people
is what he's doing.
We got a distractor here tonight.
He's got his leopard pants on.
He's getting people dancing.
-I run faster in these, that's why.
-[Shane] Yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah. Right.
[Simu]
Meanwhile in the orange bedroom,
strategy talk has taken a different turn.
We need looks,
we need bronzer, we need hair.
I need to do a fashion show.
Should I do a fashion show?
-Yes. Yes.
-Okay. Fashion show. Fashion show. Okay.
They don't have an exit strategy,
but my moment will come.
So, I have to find somebody
in this house to escape with.
But right now, I think
Doodles is my best option.
Okay, I looked through her closet,
and I think if we wanna go with something
a little classy and sophisticated,
we have a cute little white sundress,
which is very, very sweet.
-That's cute.
-[Lindsey] Yeah. Very sweet.
She's coming.
It's happening.
-Okay. You like this one?
-[Kim] This is a winner.
-Yeah, it looks good?
-[Kim] This is a winner.
The only thing is when she turns around.
-[Kim] Yep.
-[Athena V.] No good?
I'm not kidding.
It's see-through.
It's got slits up to her hip bone.
-We should try that one.
-Okay.
His mother may be watching this show.
-[comical music fades]
-[Athena V.] Oh.
-Oh, yes. 100%. Wow.
-[Athena V.] That's true.
And you're gonna have
to go home for the home visit
like on The Bachelors.
Remember he makes toys
for a living as well.
[Omarosa]
Right, wholesome.
I'm so excited for this date.
I haven't been in love in at least a year.
That's a lot for me.
You're really feeling her?
-[Doodles] Yeah.
-Dude, and, like--
[Doodles] I didn't ex--
I didn't really expect that either.
[Shane]
I think she's act-- Like, into you too.
Like, it's, like,
definitely not one-sided.
Like, I think
she's feeling your vibe as well.
I think, yeah,
I think she's feeling me.
No, 100%. If there's any way
I can ever help my guys,
like, help with girls, like,
I'm, obviously, gonna help.
[whimsical music playing]
[Spencer]
Noodles and Athena V.,
I'm not really buying
this little showmance.
I don't wanna get distracted
and lose sight of the money.
Are you gonna be here for a second?
Yeah.
Are you gonna be here
for a second?
Can you watch him?
I decided who I think
has the best chance of winning.
I have my eye on someone particular.
From the time I walked
in the house and I saw him,
for some reason,
I just immediately felt his energy.
I was like, "I wanna work with this guy."
He jumps, he swims, he hikes.
He can do everything.
I can't do anything.
So, I think I found my partner.
-Oh, my God. Okay. Whew.
-[Stein chuckles]
Ah, shit.
I gotta get off that couch more.
-[Stein laughing]
-That gate is looking a long way,
if I gotta run it.
I was like, "What is going on?"
I've never seen Cynthia in the watchtower.
-[Cynthia] Listen. I have something.
-[Stein] Yeah, I'm listening.
If I give you my clue,
if you run it for me
-Mm-hm.
-will you promise to split it 50/50,
and don't say anything to anyone
that we're working together?
Red bathroom, 312,000.
-The door's gonna open.
-Red bathroom, 312,000.
Cynthia, like
-[Cynthia] Red bathroom.
-I got you.
[Stein] I am so stoked.
Like, she is, pretty much,
seems to be the queen of the button.
So, I feel like this could work out.
-Red room, 312.
-Yes.
-Okay. We should, uh--
-I'll be on the button.
Okay.
While you'll be on the button.
And I, I mean, it may be
a million people down there.
I may not be able to do anything,
but if I'm down there by myself,
and I think they trust me at this point
-Yeah. Okay.
-I'm not pushing it.
-I got you.
-Alright.
I'm so stressed out.
Oh, my God.
[panting]
Stein is all in.
Stein is my person.
I know it. I believe it.
I do not think this man
is going to screw me over.
Like, he's just good people.
He has a good heart.
Red room, 312.
Huh.
It is life-changing money.
That would change
so much in my family's life.
It's gonna be insane.
Super, super difficult.
But I'm harnessing the whole power
of my family while I'm here in this game,
and I'm gonna do my absolute best to win.
I can be outta here by tonight.
-[intense music playing]
-[ticking]
[dramatic music playing]
How are you doing, Cynthia?
Girl, I'm good.
Yeah? Are you just
downstairs at the button?
Yeah. Same old, same old.
Same old, same old.
[Cynthia] But I'm on
high alert tonight, though.
[Athena S.]
That's right.
[dramatic music playing]
[ticking]
Alright. All systems go, people.
[Simu]
Mimi's meatballs are simmering.
-I gotta put gravy in the bottom.
-Are these Mimi's meatballs?
[Simu] And Spencer
is buttering up the cook.
These are usually sold out online.
-[Susan chuckles]
-I can't believe I get to,
I get to have some.
Wow.
[Simu] Susan's ally, Val,
is helping her come up with a master plan
combining her open sesame
with his kill switch.
[Val] Susan came up to me.
She has that "Open Sesame" again.
And she's not telling anybody.
She needs another person.
[Steven G.] An open sesame,
and also the watchtower kill switch,
it's a big control of power.
I think it's a huge play.
[suspenseful music playing]
So, we use that
and then, use hers as well.
Right, so we could,
we could, like, overlap.
Yeah.
I trust Val because he's always
really honest with me,
and I respect him,
and I, I know he's a genuine person.
And I trust Susan
because she's just straight up with you.
[Val]
I'm excited. I'm nervous.
I could literally taste the money.
We got three minutes.
Why don't we just time it
where you guys go to the open sesame,
and you [bleep] jet.
Who likes Mimi's meatballs?!
[Rob]
Mimi's meatballs!
My meatballs
are the perfect distraction.
And now it's time for me
to get ready for my escape.
I think I need another shower.
Susan, thank you so much for cooking.
You're welcome.
Tomorrow night I'm gonna
make you chicken cutlets.
We still have a bit of time,
so I wanna be well--
well-rested and ready to roll.
[Simu]
Back to the lovebirds.
Doodles is ready to share
his meatballs with Athena,
which is definitely one way
to strengthen an alliance.
Here we go.
-Should I go over there?
-[Jill] Get in there.
-Should I go over there?
-You better get ahead of me
because I can't do this forever.
-Get your ass in there.
-[Doodles] Okay.
Well, don't you look lovely.
She is looking gorgeous.
She's the prettiest girl in here.
Let me take you to your seat.
Where'd you get this outfit?
-You like?
-[gasps] I love it. Give me a hug.
Oh, my God, this is so sweet.
[Doodles]
There's gonna be some surprises.
-[cork pops]
-[screams]
[laughs]
Opa!
We're gonna have
some Mimi's meatballs.
We're gonna make it fun.
This is so special.
Cheers.
It's so cute, it's so tiny.
Pinky up.
-[light classical music playing]
-[Rashad] Knock, knock. May I enter?
Oh, my God.
I've heard about this elegant dinner,
and I was asked to bring
this beautiful rose
for a beautiful lady
from my handsome fellow.
Thank you so much.
It's blue like the Greek flag.
Thank you.
-You got an NFL player to give me flowers?
-[tuts]
-[Rashad] That was cute.
-They're having a cute little date?
-[Rashad] Hm?
-They're having a cute little date?
[Rashad] It is.
[Yahné] I see Athena
and Oodles of Noodles on a date,
and, honestly, tacky.
I came here for money.
Athena, all yours, boo.
[Doodles] I'm realizing
that I really like Athena.
I wanna escape with her.
I think that would be so cool.
We'd be Bonnie and Clyde
riding off into the sunset.
[Simu] He knows how
Bonnie and Clyde ended, right?
Alright, don't tell him.
[Athena V.]
Oh!
-Thank you for coming with me.
-Look at you.
-Okay.
-I'm glad you said yes.
We've got 300K in the pot,
but we don't need
to worry about that tonight.
No, I wanna win a mil.
[Doodles]
Exactly.
Let me ask you a question.
Hm?
What's one thing that you're hiding
that you haven't told anyone else?
[Doodles]
Ahh. Interesting.
I know that Doodles is hiding something.
It's very obvious to me.
There's no depth
to any of the stories that he says.
Let's see, what is he gonna say?
Maybe I do have
some secrets that I can't say.
I, I want to divulge more about myself,
but blowing my cover could end up
blowing up everything in my game.
If she ends up telling other people,
then no one will trust me.
[suspenseful music playing]
[ticking]
-[Athena V.] As we were saying
-[Doodles] Yes.
How long do you think
I've gone by "Doodles"?
Five days?
Plus or minus.
Tell me more.
I'm a game designer.
[dramatic music playing]
[Athena V.] I knew
he was hiding something,
but this is a really pleasant surprise.
Oh, my God!
-[Doodles] So
-Are you serious?
obviously,
I can't tell anybody that.
Don't you dare say a word.
-You have my word.
-Mm-hm.
I think I'm a threat because
I've designed a lot of games in my life.
I have a natural built-in advantage
against these other players.
Trusting her with this information
is a massive leap of faith.
This is an opportunity to build
a really strong relationship with somebody
that will really help me in this game.
I came in here knowing
that I was not
going to tell a single soul.
And I never expected this.
[chuckles]
[laughs]
And I never expected you.
[Athena V.]
I am completely floored right now.
I've never met
a video game designer before.
I saw such a different side of him
'cause he's not the normal type
I would go out with,
and I'm really vibing with him right now.
I did not expect this.
He may be
the missing link to my game plan.
Next time I get an exit strategy
Mm-hm.
I think we can make this happen.
I'm hot again, I'm cold again.
What's going on with my body?
[chuckles]
[Simu] It's almost time
for Susan's open sesame
with her accomplices, Steven and Val.
[Val]
The plan is, he's gonna be the runner
'cause Steven is fast.
Susan is gonna meet Steven
in the green room.
They're gonna open the door
using Susan's clue of
open sesame at 310,000.
And then, that is my cue
to put the meatballs
in the microwave for three minutes
and that's gonna
disable the watchtower lever.
And by then, Steven should be
flying down the driveway
easily running out of the gate.
[suspenseful music playing]
[Steven G.] I'm feeling
so pumped about this plan.
I wanna win this money so bad.
You better believe
that I'm walking out with cash tonight.
So tired, Susan.
I think it's because of the
[Susan] The meatballs?
You're gonna blame my pasta?
-Get the [bleep] outta here.
-No.
Who's up on the tower?
Stein.
What's happening?
[exhales] You get tired
when you come up here.
[chuckles]
So, like, I was just walking around
checking the house.
Decided to look
at every window, just because.
I'm playing defense.
I'm protecting the pot.
I'm not letting anybody out.
And what is everyone doing?
Chillin'.
Like, it's, it's chilled right now.
[Val] I'm pacing back and forth,
I'm checking the window,
I'm checking the time.
[ticking]
[Susan] [grunts]
That's good.
[Val]
I am trying to keep my cool.
We haven't had this official talk,
but if you have an exit strategy,
I'll gladly run for you.
[Val chuckles]
-Mimi's meatballs ♪
-[Susan laughs]
[ticking]
[Val]
It is time.
I put together the perfect exit strategy.
I'm excited.
When the time is right,
I'm gonna start the microwave
and disable the watchtower lever.
[microwave beeps]
[timer ticking]
[dramatic music playing]
[Steven G.] The setup
that we have is perfect.
I need Susan because the open sesame
works with two people at the same time.
So, she has to be there.
[Lindsey]
How much pasta you eating?
-He's carbing up for his run.
-[Lindsey] Yeah.
[Val]
Anticipation is killing me.
Finally, this plan is working.
I'm staying in my room.
I'm being patient.
[intense music swells]
Open sesame.
What's it like, like, going out,
and, like, always being recognized?
You must get recognized
everywhere you go.
-Like, seriously.
-Not if I'm
-You're very recognizable.
-Not if I'm incog-negro.
[thrilling music playing]
-Five, six, seven, eight.
-Five, six, seven, eight.
[Steven G.]
Open sesame.
I'm waiting and I'm waiting.
No Susan in sight.
[Val]
It truly feels exhilarating.
It's all about to happen.
[Steven G.] Now I'm starting
to stress. Where is Susan?
This was a lovely date.
-I'd love to take you out on-- again.
-I would love that.
[Steven G.]
She gotta get to her window
so we can get this plan started.
[Simu]
Trust the process, Steven.
[Lindsey] You could do, like,
your jazz fingers there.
You could do this thing,
but it's all [indistinct]
[Athena S. laughs]
[Steven G.]
Where's Susan?
[music intensifies]
I don't see Susan.
[beeps]
[dramatic music playing]
[Steven G.]
Where is Susan?
[beeps]
[music continues]
[microwave beeps]
[Val]
I hope that Steven made it out.
I could taste the money
through the meatball sauce.
[Steven G.]
Walk out the bedroom,
and I noticed the clock time
has hit the limit.
[ticking]
What the [bleep] is going on?
-[Val] Where's Susan at?
-[indistinct chatter]
-[Rob] In red room.
-[Val] She out there?
[Rob]
I think she's down there, yeah.
[Val] I wanna thank her
for her meatballs.
[suspenseful music playing]
[snoring]
Susan is asleep.
[snoring continues]
Susan, you just cost me $312,000.
-[whimsical music playing]
-[snoring continues]
Mimi's meatballs.
Mimi's [bleep] meatballs.
[bleep] Susan.
Amazing.
[inhales and exhales deeply]
Dreaming about those meatballs.
Why Susan decides
that this is the best time for a nap
I will never know.
Does anybody wanna play pool?
[dramatic music playing]
[tense music playing]
[Steven G.]
[bleep] happened to Susan?
She fell asleep.
-No [bleep] way.
-She's sleeping in there.
[snoring]
-We [bleep] had it.
-[Steven G.] I know we did.
We [bleep] had it.
This was, like, a clear way
out of this house.
We just missed on a 300K deal,
and Susan's just there
probably in her third REM sleep.
I actually can't believe
she was actually sleeping.
[Susan]
I open my eyes,
walk outta my bedroom
towards the pool table.
On my way there,
I look over at the money clock
and went [gasps]
[ticking]
I missed it. I missed it.
I'm waiting for Susan,
but I'm, like, maybe she's just slow.
[laughing] Oh, my God,
this is so [bleep].
-[bleep].
-waiting for you.
-You let me sleep?
-Susan, I've been waiting.
Why didn't you come and wake me up?
[Steven G./Val laughing]
I couldn't believe this.
-We had it, Susan. We had it.
-It was a done deal.
[Susan]
Shut up!
[Val laughing]
I was waiting for you
for an hour back there.
-[Val] You know why?
-Why didn't you come get me?
-I know. We had it.
-Just under three minutes.
-[crosstalk]
-No, don't tell me that.
[Steven G.] Well, then let's break.
Let's play. Let's play.
It's the [bleep] meatballs.
They put you to sleep.
"Val! I slept through
our exit strategy!"
[whimsical music playing]
[Susan] This was
one hell of an expensive nap.
A $300,000 nap.
This episode will be
called "Mimi's Meatballs."
I hope I look refreshed.
[chuckles]
My meatballs knocked me out.
[laughs]
[whimsical music playing]
I went to sleep.
I woke up, I came out, it was over.
[laughing]
I missed it.
What, what in the world is so
[Shane] [laughing]
She fell asleep during her exit time.
[Cynthia]
I love me some Susan.
Best thing outside of
making meatballs in this house
was to fall asleep
during her escape time.
You cannot make it up.
Everyone is so distracted at this point
that I'm just flying under the radar.
Thank you, Susan.
I'll never live this down
for as long as I live.
[Simu]
No, no, you won't.
And with streaming,
it's available on demand forever.
[ticking]
-Have you jumped out a window yet?
-No.
All the front windows are, like, good.
-The best one's the bathroom.
-[Stein] Yeah, yeah.
-[Rashad] You can close the door.
-[Stein] Yeah.
[Rashad] And people
really low key don't go through it.
-Yeah.
-[Rashad] That's, that's too easy money.
[Stein]
Uh, uh, is it cool if I go downstairs?
-[Spencer] Do you have an exit strategy?
-[Stein] Nope.
'Cause if you do, maybe you tell me now
so I don't hit that little latch on you.
[Stein]
I would, man, I would.
Or yell up if you change your mind.
-[tense music playing]
-[ticking]
[Cynthia]
I, literally, have not seen Stein
since I gave him
the offer to partner with me.
And, all of a sudden,
he casually comes downstairs.
Smooth operator.
[Cynthia] If it doesn't work,
don't worry about it.
My heart is pounding out of my chest
because it's getting close to go time.
[Stein]
I'm ready.
It's probably unlikely this is gonna work.
It's unlikely because everybody
is on the button,
everybody is like watching.
[Stein] No. No, I have a plan.
He basically looked in my face
and assured me
that he would be able
to get out of the house.
Honestly, I'm quite confident about this.
-[Cynthia] Oh, shit.
-[Stein chuckles]
$312 right?
-[Cynthia] Mm-hm.
-[Stein] 312?
-312?
-[Cynthia] 312, yeah.
[mumbles]
[indistinct conversation]
[Clare]
Where's Stein?
-[Stein] I'm right here.
-[Cynthia] He's right here.
[Clare] Oh, okay.
I'm, like, I haven't seen him in forever.
-Where? Right there?
-[Cynthia] He's right here.
-He sitting right here.
-[Clare] Oh, okay, okay.
-Who's, who's, uh
-[Clare] Who's ups-- Who's up top?
-Rashad and, uh, Spencer.
-[Clare] They're up top?
-Uh, yeah, I just got down.
-[Clare] Okay.
[suspenseful music playing]
[Rashad]
Whoever gets out,
you gotta make sure
they taking people with 'em
or else it's gonna mess up the pot
for everybody else along the way.
[tense music playing]
[Val]
You good?
[Stein]
Oh, dude, I'm [bleep] chillin'.
[both laugh]
Let me know if you want me to take over.
-Thank you.
-[Val] Yes.
[Cynthia] I've been a mess
ever since I got this clue.
But there is something
about Stein's very calm,
confident presence that's actually
making me feel like
we could actually pull this off.
-Rob.
-[Rob] Mm-hm.
Do you wanna play?
I'm-- I'll come down in a little bit.
I'm good. Thank you.
[Val]
I'll take your spot if you want.
[ticking]
[tense music playing]
[Cynthia]
These people believe
that I am the one
to trust at the button.
[Lindsey]
Where've you been?
[Stein] How are y'all doing?
I was on the watchtower for a few hours.
-[Clare] Oh, wow.
-[Stein] Yeah, yeah. So [chuckles]
[Omarosa] I'm gonna get
early morning shift again as usual.
[Stein]
Respect.
[Cynthia] I have one job.
I gotta manage this button.
He actually has the hardest part.
He's gotta get his butt outta here
and make it to the gate.
Good night, Stein.
[Stein] Good night.
I hope you sleep great.
[suspenseful music playing]
[ticking]
[snoring]
Yeah, I don't like the smell of coffee.
-[Val] The thing about these pants is
-[Susan laughs]
I've been watching people
try to escape from the last few nights.
And I've been listening
and I've been paying attention,
and I've been, like, observing.
I know exactly where to run.
I feel like this is gonna work.
Who is Cynthia working with?
Like, she
She's just, like, like, down, you know?
[Rashad] She holds that button down,
if we clocking hours,
more than anybody.
-[suspenseful music swells]
-[ticking]
[thrilling music playing]
-How'd the date go?
-It was lovely.
[music continues]
It's comical.
I'm, I'm understanding
the name of the show now.
Got to Get Out.
I got to, but I can't.
If you told somebody,
"Hey, yo, if I get out, I got a plan.
If I get out,
I give you a cut," would you?
[suspenseful music playing]
Just put pieces
to the puzzle together,
or you already know that.
Either way
[Spencer]
You can tell me. I don't know.
[thrilling music playing]
[Spencer] Oh, wait, did you
just watch somebody run by?
[Rashad]
Maybe?
[Spencer]
What the [bleep]?
[alarm blaring]
-[Clare] What
-[Cynthia] Whoa!
Cynthia's got it.
[blaring continues]
[thrilling music playing]
[music fades out]
[clock ticking]
[dramatic music playing]
[Simu Liu] Kim, Spencer, and Stein
are in the middle of their escape.
Kim's idea is good,
dressing up Spencer
as one of our TV production team.
Let's see if one former reality star
disguised as a crewmember
can steal $246,600.
Hey, Spencer, are you ready
for your big moment?
[suspenseful music playing]
[Spencer] Standing in front
of this window,
the light turns green.
I am like, "Okay, it's on,
this is gonna work."
[tense music playing]
[Cynthia]
Is s-someone out? Are they running?
No, no.
I'm just going to the bathroom.
[music continues]
Well, I'm gonna go
put my weave on here in a second.
You put stuff on top--
-Is that your real hair?
-Yeah.
[Steven G.] So, why would
you put something on top?
[Kim] These wigs have just
become part of my life.
[dramatic music playing]
-Um
-[Cynthia] What's happening?
It's a man with bushes.
-[Shane] Oh, it's, it's production.
-[Demi] It's a worker.
[music continues]
[Kim]
Oh, it's production, you idiots.
Yeah, they have plants.
[Clare]
Um, what?
We see somebody walking out.
It looks like a crewmember,
but crewmembers around here
don't look like that.
Our crewmembers
are cuter than that. Come on.
[music crescendos]
-[alarm blaring]
-Oh.
-No!
-Right here.
[blaring continues]
[Shane] I mean,
that would be a fire distraction.
[Steven G.]
That would be a fire move.
[Clare]
Watch. Watch it.
[Susan]
Is that Val? Val?!
Okay.
[Susan laughing]
[Lindsey]
Who is that? Who is that?
It is Spencer disguised as a plant guy!
-That is so funny.
-That was Val?
Why you guys
not paying attention to this?
Not bad, Spence.
For what you had to work with?
I guess it, it would've worked
if I wasn't there at the watchtower.
Dude, I was still confused.
I'm like, "No, it's a worker."
Even though the escape was unsuccessful,
I was pretty close.
I did fake out a lot of the house.
It showed me this is doable.
It's possible.
You did the belly too.
This is [bleep].
-[Rob] Oh, that's so good.
-[exhales]
[Kim] I had the perfect
exit strategy today,
and, well, it didn't work.
Everybody's on high alert,
and I can guarantee you
in the next few days
it's going to get 10 times worse.
There's so many people in this house
and nothing's really
gonna get by anyone at this point.
[Yahné] Which way
did he come in, the front door?
I'm not telling you
where the [bleep] he came from.
You pulled the-- You pressed the button.
I ain't telling you shit.
Of course, I pressed the button.
-I'm not letting him take the money.
-Hell, yeah.
-[Kim] You didn't know it was him.
-Doesn't matter. I'd press
the button on anybody.
I'ma press the button on you.
-Ooh! [laughs]
-[Kim] Good luck.
[Yahné]
I need to defend the pot.
Let's be honest,
there's 20 of us in this house.
Everybody in this house is, you know,
sweet and nice and everything,
but it doesn't mean
I wanna split the money
with you at the end.
Well, well, well,
things have gotten a little spicy.
-[Demi] That was good.
-[Doodles] Very spicy.
That was good, Yahné.
Yay! [bleep] Spencer.
Oh, my gosh.
That was a workout,
-getting that--
-That was [bleep] good, dawg.
I was like [panting]
[Stein] I give Spencer
mad props for trying,
but, honestly, no one
has escaped from this house yet.
It's so [bleep] hard.
[suspenseful music playing]
No one wants to see another person
run away with this money
and deplete the whole pot.
But I actually feel like
it's possible to get outta here.
I'm willing to go to crazy distances
in terms of, like,
sleep deprivation, athletic moves.
I'm gonna put my best foot forward
and I'm gonna try and win this thing.
[thrilling music playing]
[Simu] Twenty strangers
locked into a house
trying to escape and steal a prize
climbing to a million dollars.
What's stopping them?
Each other.
-What's at stake?
-[alarm blaring]
-[Susan] Hit the button!
-[Rob] Hit the button!
[Simu]
Everything.
What's for dinner?
Meatballs.
This is Got to Get Out.
[bright music playing]
Four glorious days
into my brilliant one-of-a-kind game,
and my house guests
are still trapped inside.
So far,
they've had 12 chances to escape.
[Demi screams]
Seven have had the balls to try.
I was so close!
[Simu] Others were
too dumb to figure it out.
What?
I blew it.
[Simu]
And then, there's Rob.
I'm not taking it.
[Simu] Whatever he did.
Still don't get that one.
Money is everything.
It makes the world go round,
especially to the people in this house.
They're, like, obsessed with it.
Will they share it or steal it?
The money clock
has officially hit $300,000,
and just like climate change,
things are really heating up.
[Shane] I think, today,
things are really gonna start cooking up.
It's inevitable that somebody will get out
at some point.
If one person gets out by themselves
that messes up the pot.
[Rashad] With the pot
building up to 300,000,
and it's letting us know
that somebody's gonna
try to steal some money from us.
I'ma learn to be hypervigilant.
It's like 300,000.
That's a lot of money.
That would be sweet, right?
[Clare sighs]
-It would be unbelievable.
-Mm-hm.
[exhales] It's a lot of money,
and I miss my family terribly.
What I wouldn't give
to just be out that gate.
It is nowhere near the-the total,
and it's still a ton of money.
[Simu] Today, two people
will receive exit strategies
with their eye on the $300,000 prize.
$300,000 is a lot of money.
I think that's most of
the people in the house,
that's kinda their magic number.
Now, everyone's ready to run.
Everyone's ready to play.
[Stein] Well, what is your strategy?
What are you thinking?
[Cynthia] Well, as one
of the older ladies here,
I can't run super fast,
so I'm not gonna be the person
that can actually do the escaping part.
It's all the way game on.
Now, I'm watching everyone.
I'm totally trustworthy.
[indistinct chatter]
Uh, do you feel like
you can trust me?
-Of c-- For sure.
-Totally game.
The prize money is over $300,000.
I'd love to walk outta here
with 300 grand
and share it with my family members.
I come from not much.
I was, like, well below the poverty line
until I was, like, 28 years old,
which was last year.
I'm good at running.
Like, I'm a I, I ski professionally,
and, like, I, like, I can, I can, I can
make my way through different places.
-Okay.
-[Stein laughing]
-I'm liking you more and more.
-[Stein laughing]
[Simu] It's good to see
people playing the game.
Speaking of which,
Doodles is playing the game with Athena,
but does he got game?
Athena's got a lot more going on
than meets the eye.
She's a total badass.
We had a big booty pool party
in the hot tub.
We worked together at the challenge.
So, I think I'm gonna
ask her out on a date.
I really hope Athena
says yes to my invite.
[Simu] Well, he disguised
his date invitation
as an escape plan, so
I'm going with he got game.
[Athena V.]
Wow, your makeup looks so good.
I got, I got about
three other options too.
-[Jill] Okay.
-Okay, I'll help you leave
'cause I want, I want less people
in the house, but then
[mysterious music playing]
But-But then it's, um
Yeah, I don't know.
[music continues]
I see a card.
I'm freaking out right now.
No idea who this is from.
All I know is, I gotta run to the bathroom
and keep this to myself
and stay with my thoughts for a second.
[music continues]
[gasps]
-What are you doing?
-Nothing.
-A card?
-Yeah.
What does it [bleep] say?
Is it to your boyfriend?
What does this mean?
Get in the bathroom right now.
Open it, go.
[suspenseful music playing]
That's it.
I thought this bitch
really had an escape plan, guys.
[Athena V.] Doodles is
inviting me for a date.
Not the escape strategy I was thinking.
This is even better.
Get the [bleep] outta the shower.
I thought we were le--
I thought I was leaving today, guys.
I don't wanna go on this date.
I definitely wanna go on this date.
Doodles!
[Simu]
What is happening?
I've gotta be honest, I'm not sure
what to make of this relationship,
but what do I know?
[suspenseful music playing]
Will you shake this in for me?
-Yeah. What, this?
-Yeah. Mm-hm.
A little bit more.
[bread crumbs rattling]
Not shake it-- I mean
shake some in here.
[laughing]
I wasn't gonna question it.
I should say, "Pour some in there."
Shake it.
-How much you want?
-Shake it. Shake it.
Athena and Nick have a date,
and, of course, I'm gonna
make Mimi's meatballs.
We decided spaghetti with a pasta meal
like Lady and the Tramp.
They would suck
from each end of the pasta.
[Simu] Aw, noodles for Doodles.
-I wanna go get dressed.
-Okay.
My nipples have been out long enough.
Don't let this burn.
-Just stir it, like, every 10 minutes.
-Just stir it every
Just keep an eye.
I won't be long.
[Simu] You know what else
has been out for long enough?
My patience waiting
for this lot to escape.
So, it's time to crank up
the ticker tape machine.
[ticker tape machine ticking]
Alright.
Give me somethin' good, baby.
-"No exit strategy."
-"No exit strategy."
"No exit strategy."
[Cynthia] Although I am,
and forever will always be
a Real Housewife of Atlanta,
I am newly divorced.
I started a whole new career
well into my 50s.
I'm a single Black woman
who, literally, is rebuilding
her whole life,
personally and professionally.
[ticking]
Come on, give me a decent clue.
I have a daughter to support,
I have a mom to look after.
I need some money in the bank.
[suspenseful music playing]
Shit. The one time
I don't have my glasses.
Oh, shit.
[softly]
Oh, my God.
"The red bathroom will open at 312,000."
Oh, my God! Oh, my God.
I have an exit strategy.
[Simu]
This is Cynthia's first exit strategy.
The red bathroom window
will open at $312,000,
giving her, or someone
she chooses, the chance
to escape down the driveway
and through the gates
to the getaway car.
[Cynthia] Oh, shit.
Cynthia "Cheekbones" Bailey
just clocked in.
Game on.
[ticking]
[Spencer] I actually hate you, machine.
I hate you.
"No exit strategy."
[ticking]
[Jill]
"No exit strategy."
This game will, like,
just completely tear you apart.
[sobbing]
Oh. I want it so bad.
I can't take this shit anymore.
This is so hard.
[ticking]
It's my lucky day.
"You have received an open sesame.
"Must be used between
309,300, and 310,300."
Holy shit. [laughs]
[Simu] I feel like
I'm stuck in a time loop.
That's right,
Susan has another open sesame.
Do I need to remind you
what happened last time?
Oh, my God. Oh, my God.
Oh, my God. Yes! Yes!
Susan, what are you doing?
It's ridiculous.
Open sesame!
I got nothing, honey.
I got nothing.
I learned maybe, just maybe,
I need to keep my plans to myself.
[Simu]
Turns out for $300,000,
Susie "Looselips" is willing to zip it.
[ticking]
[Val] I'm feeling fierce
in my cheetah-print pants.
I'm feeling ready to take
$300,000 home with me.
Being a new father,
I would be more interested in,
in using this money
to put away for my kid's college,
and, you know, maybe
get my wife something special.
"You have received a kill switch."
[Simu] Val has received
a powerful new gameplay device,
my kill switch.
Once activated, a kill switch
disables the watchtower lever
and the warning system
they've come to rely on.
When Val turns
on the microwave in the kitchen,
his kill switch will be
in play for three minutes,
giving someone the opportunity
to escape undetected by the tower.
[Val] This is huge.
The clue I have is the kill switch
of the watchtower.
Huge game changer.
It's given me an advantage.
But I will need to pair up with somebody
that has an actual exit strategy.
I'm betting on trusting Steven
'cause I can sense that he's someone
that if he does escape,
he's gonna take me with him,
and he's someone that if I escape,
I'll-I'll definitely take him with me.
You get a clue on this one or what?
-I got one.
-Oh, you got one?
It's to disable the tower
for three minutes.
[Steven G.]
Yeah, I got, I got nothing.
I quickly find out that Steven
didn't get an exit strategy
and I'm stuck.
-Which door is it?
-I mean--
[Val] I don't have a door.
That's the thing.
That's the thing.
One of us has to have a door.
If that's the case then we could do it.
Now I need to find somebody
that has an exit strategy.
[blows raspberries]
[Simu] Susie "Looselips"
and "Cheekbones" Bailey
have received today's two exit strategies,
while "Cheetah Pants" Val
has a one-time use kill switch.
Whoever gets out
will win all the money on the clock,
and it will start over at zero,
crushing everyone else's dreams.
"No exit strategy."
-And I was in there forever.
-[laughs]
Alright, then I'm gonna
prep the plates for the table.
No, I'm going.
[Val yawns]
[Susan]
Ohh!
Ohh.
What did yours say, Val?
Come here.
We should shoot some pool.
[whimsical music playing]
I got the same [bleep] one.
[indistinct chatter]
The [bleep] same one, and you're my guy.
I'm trying to figure out
who can help me,
and, all of a sudden, it was like
out of nowhere, it was heavenly.
This angel, Susan, comes out of nowhere,
points to me,
"I have another exit strategy,
and you're my guy."
But, we'll have a short
opportunity between
$309,300 and $310,300.
I love Val. I love the way
he plays the game
'cause he stays under the radar.
But when we look at-- in each other's
eyes, there's a bond there.
I trust him, and I believe he trusts me,
and I wanna dance with him.
And you have to say "Open Sesame"
at the same time
at two locations.
[Val] I tell Susan that I'm in,
and that I have a kill switch.
This is a good plan.
He has the kill switch,
which means the power
upstairs on the tower
when you pull it down, it won't work.
I'm feeling like my plan
is foolproof right now.
Nobody from the watchtower
can alert the people in the house
to press the red button.
It's a win-win.
This plan is flawless.
[Simu] Well, this is
with Susan, so we'll see.
Escapes are like a good meatball recipe,
timing is everything,
and Mimi's meatballs
are starting to smell real good.
Plus, there's over $300,000 up for grabs.
[Cynthia] I finally have a plan,
and I am going to try
my hardest to get out.
For me, I feel like I'm playing chess.
The only move I needed to make was one,
and that is placing myself at this button.
Now that I'm button girl,
I, actually, have a lot of power
in this house.
Here's the thing.
I realize, step two, I'm not a runner.
My best play is to find someone
who can help me,
and hope like hell that they're honest
and they have integrity
and they're going to split the money.
Omarosa is extremely smart.
She's a thinker, and I feel
like at the end of the day,
we will definitely have each other's back.
[Omarosa] I'm gonna go
check for green lights.
-I'll be back. [laughs]
-[Cynthia] Alright.
You know how people pretend like
they're "going for a walk."
-[Cynthia] Exactly.
-I'm gonna go check for green lights.
[Cynthia]
Rashad is the fastest runner,
but I haven't spent any time with him,
so I can't really trust him.
[Rashad]
Cynthia, you running?
When I feel it, that's when I'll run.
I also have eyes on Stein.
Hi, Cynthia.
[chuckles]
[Cynthia] All I have to do
is pick the right person
to take home a bunch of money.
[Simu] There are now
two escape plans brewing.
In order to distract from his plotting,
Val does what Val does best, dance.
A-five, six, seven, eight.
You gotta teach me that,
uh, that dance move.
-The
-The dip?
Yeah, the dip
'cause she already knows it.
-I got you.
-So, it's like
Doodles dipping Athena,
and-and-and having
her weight in his arms.
You see how I'm holding you here?
-Yep.
-So, now lean-- Yeah, see the support?
-Yep.
-So, it's not just
-You try to get it there.
-Okay.
Probably one of the most
romantic things you can do.
She will be impressed.
Like a little lunge to help you.
[peppy music playing]
-Nice.
-Got it.
Boom. You dip her, fix her hair
and bring her right back.
And that's how you do it.
[Shane] Oh, man,
he's getting ready to distract people
is what he's doing.
We got a distractor here tonight.
He's got his leopard pants on.
He's getting people dancing.
-I run faster in these, that's why.
-[Shane] Yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah. Right.
[Simu]
Meanwhile in the orange bedroom,
strategy talk has taken a different turn.
We need looks,
we need bronzer, we need hair.
I need to do a fashion show.
Should I do a fashion show?
-Yes. Yes.
-Okay. Fashion show. Fashion show. Okay.
They don't have an exit strategy,
but my moment will come.
So, I have to find somebody
in this house to escape with.
But right now, I think
Doodles is my best option.
Okay, I looked through her closet,
and I think if we wanna go with something
a little classy and sophisticated,
we have a cute little white sundress,
which is very, very sweet.
-That's cute.
-[Lindsey] Yeah. Very sweet.
She's coming.
It's happening.
-Okay. You like this one?
-[Kim] This is a winner.
-Yeah, it looks good?
-[Kim] This is a winner.
The only thing is when she turns around.
-[Kim] Yep.
-[Athena V.] No good?
I'm not kidding.
It's see-through.
It's got slits up to her hip bone.
-We should try that one.
-Okay.
His mother may be watching this show.
-[comical music fades]
-[Athena V.] Oh.
-Oh, yes. 100%. Wow.
-[Athena V.] That's true.
And you're gonna have
to go home for the home visit
like on The Bachelors.
Remember he makes toys
for a living as well.
[Omarosa]
Right, wholesome.
I'm so excited for this date.
I haven't been in love in at least a year.
That's a lot for me.
You're really feeling her?
-[Doodles] Yeah.
-Dude, and, like--
[Doodles] I didn't ex--
I didn't really expect that either.
[Shane]
I think she's act-- Like, into you too.
Like, it's, like,
definitely not one-sided.
Like, I think
she's feeling your vibe as well.
I think, yeah,
I think she's feeling me.
No, 100%. If there's any way
I can ever help my guys,
like, help with girls, like,
I'm, obviously, gonna help.
[whimsical music playing]
[Spencer]
Noodles and Athena V.,
I'm not really buying
this little showmance.
I don't wanna get distracted
and lose sight of the money.
Are you gonna be here for a second?
Yeah.
Are you gonna be here
for a second?
Can you watch him?
I decided who I think
has the best chance of winning.
I have my eye on someone particular.
From the time I walked
in the house and I saw him,
for some reason,
I just immediately felt his energy.
I was like, "I wanna work with this guy."
He jumps, he swims, he hikes.
He can do everything.
I can't do anything.
So, I think I found my partner.
-Oh, my God. Okay. Whew.
-[Stein chuckles]
Ah, shit.
I gotta get off that couch more.
-[Stein laughing]
-That gate is looking a long way,
if I gotta run it.
I was like, "What is going on?"
I've never seen Cynthia in the watchtower.
-[Cynthia] Listen. I have something.
-[Stein] Yeah, I'm listening.
If I give you my clue,
if you run it for me
-Mm-hm.
-will you promise to split it 50/50,
and don't say anything to anyone
that we're working together?
Red bathroom, 312,000.
-The door's gonna open.
-Red bathroom, 312,000.
Cynthia, like
-[Cynthia] Red bathroom.
-I got you.
[Stein] I am so stoked.
Like, she is, pretty much,
seems to be the queen of the button.
So, I feel like this could work out.
-Red room, 312.
-Yes.
-Okay. We should, uh--
-I'll be on the button.
Okay.
While you'll be on the button.
And I, I mean, it may be
a million people down there.
I may not be able to do anything,
but if I'm down there by myself,
and I think they trust me at this point
-Yeah. Okay.
-I'm not pushing it.
-I got you.
-Alright.
I'm so stressed out.
Oh, my God.
[panting]
Stein is all in.
Stein is my person.
I know it. I believe it.
I do not think this man
is going to screw me over.
Like, he's just good people.
He has a good heart.
Red room, 312.
Huh.
It is life-changing money.
That would change
so much in my family's life.
It's gonna be insane.
Super, super difficult.
But I'm harnessing the whole power
of my family while I'm here in this game,
and I'm gonna do my absolute best to win.
I can be outta here by tonight.
-[intense music playing]
-[ticking]
[dramatic music playing]
How are you doing, Cynthia?
Girl, I'm good.
Yeah? Are you just
downstairs at the button?
Yeah. Same old, same old.
Same old, same old.
[Cynthia] But I'm on
high alert tonight, though.
[Athena S.]
That's right.
[dramatic music playing]
[ticking]
Alright. All systems go, people.
[Simu]
Mimi's meatballs are simmering.
-I gotta put gravy in the bottom.
-Are these Mimi's meatballs?
[Simu] And Spencer
is buttering up the cook.
These are usually sold out online.
-[Susan chuckles]
-I can't believe I get to,
I get to have some.
Wow.
[Simu] Susan's ally, Val,
is helping her come up with a master plan
combining her open sesame
with his kill switch.
[Val] Susan came up to me.
She has that "Open Sesame" again.
And she's not telling anybody.
She needs another person.
[Steven G.] An open sesame,
and also the watchtower kill switch,
it's a big control of power.
I think it's a huge play.
[suspenseful music playing]
So, we use that
and then, use hers as well.
Right, so we could,
we could, like, overlap.
Yeah.
I trust Val because he's always
really honest with me,
and I respect him,
and I, I know he's a genuine person.
And I trust Susan
because she's just straight up with you.
[Val]
I'm excited. I'm nervous.
I could literally taste the money.
We got three minutes.
Why don't we just time it
where you guys go to the open sesame,
and you [bleep] jet.
Who likes Mimi's meatballs?!
[Rob]
Mimi's meatballs!
My meatballs
are the perfect distraction.
And now it's time for me
to get ready for my escape.
I think I need another shower.
Susan, thank you so much for cooking.
You're welcome.
Tomorrow night I'm gonna
make you chicken cutlets.
We still have a bit of time,
so I wanna be well--
well-rested and ready to roll.
[Simu]
Back to the lovebirds.
Doodles is ready to share
his meatballs with Athena,
which is definitely one way
to strengthen an alliance.
Here we go.
-Should I go over there?
-[Jill] Get in there.
-Should I go over there?
-You better get ahead of me
because I can't do this forever.
-Get your ass in there.
-[Doodles] Okay.
Well, don't you look lovely.
She is looking gorgeous.
She's the prettiest girl in here.
Let me take you to your seat.
Where'd you get this outfit?
-You like?
-[gasps] I love it. Give me a hug.
Oh, my God, this is so sweet.
[Doodles]
There's gonna be some surprises.
-[cork pops]
-[screams]
[laughs]
Opa!
We're gonna have
some Mimi's meatballs.
We're gonna make it fun.
This is so special.
Cheers.
It's so cute, it's so tiny.
Pinky up.
-[light classical music playing]
-[Rashad] Knock, knock. May I enter?
Oh, my God.
I've heard about this elegant dinner,
and I was asked to bring
this beautiful rose
for a beautiful lady
from my handsome fellow.
Thank you so much.
It's blue like the Greek flag.
Thank you.
-You got an NFL player to give me flowers?
-[tuts]
-[Rashad] That was cute.
-They're having a cute little date?
-[Rashad] Hm?
-They're having a cute little date?
[Rashad] It is.
[Yahné] I see Athena
and Oodles of Noodles on a date,
and, honestly, tacky.
I came here for money.
Athena, all yours, boo.
[Doodles] I'm realizing
that I really like Athena.
I wanna escape with her.
I think that would be so cool.
We'd be Bonnie and Clyde
riding off into the sunset.
[Simu] He knows how
Bonnie and Clyde ended, right?
Alright, don't tell him.
[Athena V.]
Oh!
-Thank you for coming with me.
-Look at you.
-Okay.
-I'm glad you said yes.
We've got 300K in the pot,
but we don't need
to worry about that tonight.
No, I wanna win a mil.
[Doodles]
Exactly.
Let me ask you a question.
Hm?
What's one thing that you're hiding
that you haven't told anyone else?
[Doodles]
Ahh. Interesting.
I know that Doodles is hiding something.
It's very obvious to me.
There's no depth
to any of the stories that he says.
Let's see, what is he gonna say?
Maybe I do have
some secrets that I can't say.
I, I want to divulge more about myself,
but blowing my cover could end up
blowing up everything in my game.
If she ends up telling other people,
then no one will trust me.
[suspenseful music playing]
[ticking]
-[Athena V.] As we were saying
-[Doodles] Yes.
How long do you think
I've gone by "Doodles"?
Five days?
Plus or minus.
Tell me more.
I'm a game designer.
[dramatic music playing]
[Athena V.] I knew
he was hiding something,
but this is a really pleasant surprise.
Oh, my God!
-[Doodles] So
-Are you serious?
obviously,
I can't tell anybody that.
Don't you dare say a word.
-You have my word.
-Mm-hm.
I think I'm a threat because
I've designed a lot of games in my life.
I have a natural built-in advantage
against these other players.
Trusting her with this information
is a massive leap of faith.
This is an opportunity to build
a really strong relationship with somebody
that will really help me in this game.
I came in here knowing
that I was not
going to tell a single soul.
And I never expected this.
[chuckles]
[laughs]
And I never expected you.
[Athena V.]
I am completely floored right now.
I've never met
a video game designer before.
I saw such a different side of him
'cause he's not the normal type
I would go out with,
and I'm really vibing with him right now.
I did not expect this.
He may be
the missing link to my game plan.
Next time I get an exit strategy
Mm-hm.
I think we can make this happen.
I'm hot again, I'm cold again.
What's going on with my body?
[chuckles]
[Simu] It's almost time
for Susan's open sesame
with her accomplices, Steven and Val.
[Val]
The plan is, he's gonna be the runner
'cause Steven is fast.
Susan is gonna meet Steven
in the green room.
They're gonna open the door
using Susan's clue of
open sesame at 310,000.
And then, that is my cue
to put the meatballs
in the microwave for three minutes
and that's gonna
disable the watchtower lever.
And by then, Steven should be
flying down the driveway
easily running out of the gate.
[suspenseful music playing]
[Steven G.] I'm feeling
so pumped about this plan.
I wanna win this money so bad.
You better believe
that I'm walking out with cash tonight.
So tired, Susan.
I think it's because of the
[Susan] The meatballs?
You're gonna blame my pasta?
-Get the [bleep] outta here.
-No.
Who's up on the tower?
Stein.
What's happening?
[exhales] You get tired
when you come up here.
[chuckles]
So, like, I was just walking around
checking the house.
Decided to look
at every window, just because.
I'm playing defense.
I'm protecting the pot.
I'm not letting anybody out.
And what is everyone doing?
Chillin'.
Like, it's, it's chilled right now.
[Val] I'm pacing back and forth,
I'm checking the window,
I'm checking the time.
[ticking]
[Susan] [grunts]
That's good.
[Val]
I am trying to keep my cool.
We haven't had this official talk,
but if you have an exit strategy,
I'll gladly run for you.
[Val chuckles]
-Mimi's meatballs ♪
-[Susan laughs]
[ticking]
[Val]
It is time.
I put together the perfect exit strategy.
I'm excited.
When the time is right,
I'm gonna start the microwave
and disable the watchtower lever.
[microwave beeps]
[timer ticking]
[dramatic music playing]
[Steven G.] The setup
that we have is perfect.
I need Susan because the open sesame
works with two people at the same time.
So, she has to be there.
[Lindsey]
How much pasta you eating?
-He's carbing up for his run.
-[Lindsey] Yeah.
[Val]
Anticipation is killing me.
Finally, this plan is working.
I'm staying in my room.
I'm being patient.
[intense music swells]
Open sesame.
What's it like, like, going out,
and, like, always being recognized?
You must get recognized
everywhere you go.
-Like, seriously.
-Not if I'm
-You're very recognizable.
-Not if I'm incog-negro.
[thrilling music playing]
-Five, six, seven, eight.
-Five, six, seven, eight.
[Steven G.]
Open sesame.
I'm waiting and I'm waiting.
No Susan in sight.
[Val]
It truly feels exhilarating.
It's all about to happen.
[Steven G.] Now I'm starting
to stress. Where is Susan?
This was a lovely date.
-I'd love to take you out on-- again.
-I would love that.
[Steven G.]
She gotta get to her window
so we can get this plan started.
[Simu]
Trust the process, Steven.
[Lindsey] You could do, like,
your jazz fingers there.
You could do this thing,
but it's all [indistinct]
[Athena S. laughs]
[Steven G.]
Where's Susan?
[music intensifies]
I don't see Susan.
[beeps]
[dramatic music playing]
[Steven G.]
Where is Susan?
[beeps]
[music continues]
[microwave beeps]
[Val]
I hope that Steven made it out.
I could taste the money
through the meatball sauce.
[Steven G.]
Walk out the bedroom,
and I noticed the clock time
has hit the limit.
[ticking]
What the [bleep] is going on?
-[Val] Where's Susan at?
-[indistinct chatter]
-[Rob] In red room.
-[Val] She out there?
[Rob]
I think she's down there, yeah.
[Val] I wanna thank her
for her meatballs.
[suspenseful music playing]
[snoring]
Susan is asleep.
[snoring continues]
Susan, you just cost me $312,000.
-[whimsical music playing]
-[snoring continues]
Mimi's meatballs.
Mimi's [bleep] meatballs.
[bleep] Susan.
Amazing.
[inhales and exhales deeply]
Dreaming about those meatballs.
Why Susan decides
that this is the best time for a nap
I will never know.
Does anybody wanna play pool?
[dramatic music playing]
[tense music playing]
[Steven G.]
[bleep] happened to Susan?
She fell asleep.
-No [bleep] way.
-She's sleeping in there.
[snoring]
-We [bleep] had it.
-[Steven G.] I know we did.
We [bleep] had it.
This was, like, a clear way
out of this house.
We just missed on a 300K deal,
and Susan's just there
probably in her third REM sleep.
I actually can't believe
she was actually sleeping.
[Susan]
I open my eyes,
walk outta my bedroom
towards the pool table.
On my way there,
I look over at the money clock
and went [gasps]
[ticking]
I missed it. I missed it.
I'm waiting for Susan,
but I'm, like, maybe she's just slow.
[laughing] Oh, my God,
this is so [bleep].
-[bleep].
-waiting for you.
-You let me sleep?
-Susan, I've been waiting.
Why didn't you come and wake me up?
[Steven G./Val laughing]
I couldn't believe this.
-We had it, Susan. We had it.
-It was a done deal.
[Susan]
Shut up!
[Val laughing]
I was waiting for you
for an hour back there.
-[Val] You know why?
-Why didn't you come get me?
-I know. We had it.
-Just under three minutes.
-[crosstalk]
-No, don't tell me that.
[Steven G.] Well, then let's break.
Let's play. Let's play.
It's the [bleep] meatballs.
They put you to sleep.
"Val! I slept through
our exit strategy!"
[whimsical music playing]
[Susan] This was
one hell of an expensive nap.
A $300,000 nap.
This episode will be
called "Mimi's Meatballs."
I hope I look refreshed.
[chuckles]
My meatballs knocked me out.
[laughs]
[whimsical music playing]
I went to sleep.
I woke up, I came out, it was over.
[laughing]
I missed it.
What, what in the world is so
[Shane] [laughing]
She fell asleep during her exit time.
[Cynthia]
I love me some Susan.
Best thing outside of
making meatballs in this house
was to fall asleep
during her escape time.
You cannot make it up.
Everyone is so distracted at this point
that I'm just flying under the radar.
Thank you, Susan.
I'll never live this down
for as long as I live.
[Simu]
No, no, you won't.
And with streaming,
it's available on demand forever.
[ticking]
-Have you jumped out a window yet?
-No.
All the front windows are, like, good.
-The best one's the bathroom.
-[Stein] Yeah, yeah.
-[Rashad] You can close the door.
-[Stein] Yeah.
[Rashad] And people
really low key don't go through it.
-Yeah.
-[Rashad] That's, that's too easy money.
[Stein]
Uh, uh, is it cool if I go downstairs?
-[Spencer] Do you have an exit strategy?
-[Stein] Nope.
'Cause if you do, maybe you tell me now
so I don't hit that little latch on you.
[Stein]
I would, man, I would.
Or yell up if you change your mind.
-[tense music playing]
-[ticking]
[Cynthia]
I, literally, have not seen Stein
since I gave him
the offer to partner with me.
And, all of a sudden,
he casually comes downstairs.
Smooth operator.
[Cynthia] If it doesn't work,
don't worry about it.
My heart is pounding out of my chest
because it's getting close to go time.
[Stein]
I'm ready.
It's probably unlikely this is gonna work.
It's unlikely because everybody
is on the button,
everybody is like watching.
[Stein] No. No, I have a plan.
He basically looked in my face
and assured me
that he would be able
to get out of the house.
Honestly, I'm quite confident about this.
-[Cynthia] Oh, shit.
-[Stein chuckles]
$312 right?
-[Cynthia] Mm-hm.
-[Stein] 312?
-312?
-[Cynthia] 312, yeah.
[mumbles]
[indistinct conversation]
[Clare]
Where's Stein?
-[Stein] I'm right here.
-[Cynthia] He's right here.
[Clare] Oh, okay.
I'm, like, I haven't seen him in forever.
-Where? Right there?
-[Cynthia] He's right here.
-He sitting right here.
-[Clare] Oh, okay, okay.
-Who's, who's, uh
-[Clare] Who's ups-- Who's up top?
-Rashad and, uh, Spencer.
-[Clare] They're up top?
-Uh, yeah, I just got down.
-[Clare] Okay.
[suspenseful music playing]
[Rashad]
Whoever gets out,
you gotta make sure
they taking people with 'em
or else it's gonna mess up the pot
for everybody else along the way.
[tense music playing]
[Val]
You good?
[Stein]
Oh, dude, I'm [bleep] chillin'.
[both laugh]
Let me know if you want me to take over.
-Thank you.
-[Val] Yes.
[Cynthia] I've been a mess
ever since I got this clue.
But there is something
about Stein's very calm,
confident presence that's actually
making me feel like
we could actually pull this off.
-Rob.
-[Rob] Mm-hm.
Do you wanna play?
I'm-- I'll come down in a little bit.
I'm good. Thank you.
[Val]
I'll take your spot if you want.
[ticking]
[tense music playing]
[Cynthia]
These people believe
that I am the one
to trust at the button.
[Lindsey]
Where've you been?
[Stein] How are y'all doing?
I was on the watchtower for a few hours.
-[Clare] Oh, wow.
-[Stein] Yeah, yeah. So [chuckles]
[Omarosa] I'm gonna get
early morning shift again as usual.
[Stein]
Respect.
[Cynthia] I have one job.
I gotta manage this button.
He actually has the hardest part.
He's gotta get his butt outta here
and make it to the gate.
Good night, Stein.
[Stein] Good night.
I hope you sleep great.
[suspenseful music playing]
[ticking]
[snoring]
Yeah, I don't like the smell of coffee.
-[Val] The thing about these pants is
-[Susan laughs]
I've been watching people
try to escape from the last few nights.
And I've been listening
and I've been paying attention,
and I've been, like, observing.
I know exactly where to run.
I feel like this is gonna work.
Who is Cynthia working with?
Like, she
She's just, like, like, down, you know?
[Rashad] She holds that button down,
if we clocking hours,
more than anybody.
-[suspenseful music swells]
-[ticking]
[thrilling music playing]
-How'd the date go?
-It was lovely.
[music continues]
It's comical.
I'm, I'm understanding
the name of the show now.
Got to Get Out.
I got to, but I can't.
If you told somebody,
"Hey, yo, if I get out, I got a plan.
If I get out,
I give you a cut," would you?
[suspenseful music playing]
Just put pieces
to the puzzle together,
or you already know that.
Either way
[Spencer]
You can tell me. I don't know.
[thrilling music playing]
[Spencer] Oh, wait, did you
just watch somebody run by?
[Rashad]
Maybe?
[Spencer]
What the [bleep]?
[alarm blaring]
-[Clare] What
-[Cynthia] Whoa!
Cynthia's got it.
[blaring continues]
[thrilling music playing]
[music fades out]
