No weapons or mature-themed avatars are permitted within the Journals.

Please enjoy your time with us, and happy gunting!

I like cleaning up.

Okay, Jim, I'm, uh... I'm going.

Everything changes, Jim. Everything evolves.

Some things are perfect just the way they are. "Asteroids".

People don't live inside an "Asteroids" arcade cabinet.

I know that.

Yeah, well, people are living inside the arcade we built.

- I built. - Uh, well...

Right. Well, I guess you can say whatever you want.

I don't really wanna talk about it anymore.

No, of course you don't wanna talk about it.

You're forcing me out.

Closer on Halliday.

Look, invention comes with responsibilities

you didn't ask for.

All right, if you make something people want or need

then it's up to you to set the limits. You have to make some rules.

"I don't wanna make any more rules."

I don't wanna make any more rules.

"I'm a dreamer."

I'm a dreamer.

- I build worlds. - "I build worlds."

We created something beautiful, Jim, but it's changed.

Okay? It's really not a game anymore.

Are we finished?

I liked how things were when they were...

When it was a game.

And we're back to where we started. But that's the point, isn't it?

Things move forward whether you like it or not.

Yeah, we're finished.

Fine.

Why can't we go backwards, for once?

Backwards, really fast. Fast as we can.

Really put the pedal to the metal, you know?

Go back 10 seconds!

Why can't we go backwards, for once?

Backwards, really fast. Fast as we can.

Really put the pedal to the metal, you know?

Bill and Ted did it.

Back again so soon?

Careful not to lose your shit.

You figured something out.

Parzival, tell me.

Nice racing, Padawan. You're the first to finish.

Mr. Halliday... Anorak.

It's such an honor.

The honor is all mine.

Get yourself a clue.

How VPNs Work - Duration: 9:02.

With the channel focusing on topics such as censorship, localization and other differences

between different countries and cultures around the world, today it was felt as a good time

to finally take a look at VPNs - and what they are, their many uses and why exactly

they are so important to what we at Censored Gaming cover.

Firstly though, I just want to thank NordVPN for sponsoring today's episode - who have

been rated by numerous publications as the best VPN service available today and the only

one to obtain a perfect score from the website PCMag.

There are just so many reasons why you may want to give NordVPN a try, which we'll be

going more into that in just a second, and unlike most other VPNs, there's even a free

version available for you try before you buy. Then if you do decide to keep on using it,

you can get a whooping 77% off a 3 year plan by going to NordVPN.com/censoredgaming...

c e n s o r e d g a m i n g. There will also be a link in the description

if you to want to go check it out but, for people who aren't quite sure what a VPN is,

let's go into that now and break it down. A VPN, otherwise known as a Virtual Private

Network, funnels all of your internet traffic though a separate private internet network,

as if you were actually inside their network rather than your own.

So, when using a VPN, a website or application won't see your own internet details but the

VPN's - including things like IP address. This is extremely useful for numerous reasons

and for the first of these, let's bring up the NordVPN interface to take a look.

This is what you see when you boot up NordVPN and, as you can see, it's all kept very user

friendly with its simple interface showing a map of the world.

From here you can click on any of the over 61 countries and in a matter of seconds you

will then be connected to that network - it's that simple.

You can then check things like your IP address and you'll notice that the other device will

now think you're from that country, rather than your own.

You may have come across various websites that won't be available in your country for

example, and with a VPN this will no longer be an issue.

It's not just blocked content though, some platforms will offer pretty different content

and services depending on your location and, through the use of a VPN, you can tailor this

to your own needs. There are literally endless uses of VPNs and

far too many to really do them justice in a single video, but to just list some that

are more personal to me, to help you get an idea of their usefulness and potential...

One big one that you may be able to relate with is games from other regions that aren't

available in your own country, for instance, like certain titles on the Japanese Google

Play store. One example of many is the RPG Granblue Fantasy,

a game notable for reuniting music composer Nobuo Uematsu and art director Hideo Minaba,

who have previously collaborated on games like Final Fantasy V, VI and IX.

If you search for Granblue Fantasy outside of Japan, the game won't appear. But, in just

a few clicks with a VPN, you can instead connect to the Japanese store where you will be able

to see the game, multiple music albums and more.

Something else that I've been using VPNs a lot for lately is to do with the new European

General Data Protection Regulation, which you guys probably noticed started to flood

your email inbox a little while ago as it started to take effect.

The GDPR requires that websites follow certain rules in how it handles users' data. The deadline

for this was May 25th but many sites still haven't updated their polices for European

users, meaning that trying to access them from a European IP will result in being greeted

with blocks like this one. Again, getting around issues like this is

only a matter of clicking a single button though - thanks to NordVPN.

The Football World Cup has also been going on over the past few weeks, which makes for

another topical, good use for a VPN. Some fans may prefer to watch the game in their

own language for example, and with the commentators that they recognise.

Many streaming services though will require you to be located in your own country, which

is no good if you're abroad. Again, a VPN can help you bypass these restrictions

and allow you to watch exactly what you want to watch.

It's not just blocks based on your location that a VPN is good for however. VPNs will

also bypass restrictions set by things like offices and parental controls.

Remember, as your connection is being funnelled through the VPN's and as the original connection

won't actually be accessing the blocked sites, the internet will be unlocked for you to use

however you please. One example that's personal to me is my UK

mobile phone network, Vodafone, which has a pretty strict parental control in effect

unless you visit one of their stores or go online and send in details to prove you're

old enough. Just clicking on any location on the VPN will

be enough to circumvent blocks such as these, even if you select just your own country's

location. NordVPN is also available for mobile and is

just as simple and easy to use as desktop. Your account also comes with up to 6 simultaneous

connections at once. This means that you should be able to connect all of your devices at

the same time with no issues. Linking on with the last point about restrictions

set by things like offices and parental controls, is another UK point, but one that can also

be applied to other situations in other countries around the world too.

By the end of 2018 a huge government system will take effect that will force all adult

sites to be blocked in the UK unless you prove your old enough. This could mean things like

going to a shop, handing over ID and collecting a 16-digit code to use on adult sites for

access. Naturally some people may not want to go through

this arduous process or may not want their data collected for these purposes. A VPN,

however, would make all of this no longer an issue and it would be just as simple as

all of the examples already mentioned. There are just so many uses for VPNs though.

For example, so many websites and services are tailored to your location... and, for

perhaps one of the most simple and straight forward examples for you to see what I mean,

take a look at the UK's Google page for today. There is nothing out of the ordinary right?

It's just the original default page. However, switching to other regions like the US and

you'll see that they are celebrating the birth of Kurt Masur with Google's Google Doodle,

which when clicked on, brings up more information on who he was and the things that he did.

Whilst that may be seen as a pretty mild example, so much nowadays is tailored to your location

that it's hard to really do it justice. The YouTube trending tab for instance is also

vastly different depending on what country you're in - and so if you were ever curious

about what's trending in Japan for example, a VPN makes this very possible.

Just know that whenever you come across any sort of block or change on the web, a VPN

should be able to help It also goes without saying but a VPN is great

for travellers, who find themselves in other countries a lot and are either unable to access

sites or are getting different local versions. Then of course we have countries with strict

government censorship. For instance, a really extreme example would be places like China

and its "great firewall", which blocks sites on a regular basis, depending on whether they

fit the nation's leaders' wishes or not. Well NordVPN even defeats the great firewall

of China, making it very useful for escaping government censorship.

It's not just China though of course, and if you're from one of these regions, you are

probably already aware of some of the ways the government may restrict your internet

access from you. And despite so far focusing on ways to bypass

restrictions, a VPN is good for many other uses too.

One big one is general privacy concerns and not wanting your data to be collected by the

sites and platforms that you visit. With the way your traffic is funnelled through

the VPN's, a VPN is very useful for staying anonymous on the web.

Furthermore, NordVPN uses military grade encryption, which means your info is always kept as secure

as possible. NordVPN also has a strict no data logging policy, which is something that

surprisingly some other companies do not. All of this is not just useful for privacy

concerns but also things like protection against being hacked.

You may recall, for example, how the YouTuber Boogie2988 had his YouTube account deleted

by hackers following using public Wi-Fi in a hotel.

Public Wi-Fi poses huge risks for users, but with Nord's military grade encryption, your

data and all of your passwords and bank details and things are kept 100% safe and secure.

Again, I'd just like to thank the folks at NordVPN for sponsoring today's video and hopefully

you have now learnt a few of the many uses for a good VPN service.

To just remind you again, NordVPN is offering Censored Gaming's viewers 77% off a 3 year

plan by going to NordVPN.com/ censoredgaming... c e n s o r e d g a m i n g or by clicking

on the link in the description. This sees the cost reduced from $11.95 a month

to only $2.75. With this unbeatable deal, just that can give you all of these features

and more. And they even offer a 30 day money back guarantee,

so please check it out if you're interested and know that you'll also be supporting the

channel by doing so. Despite being sponsored, NordVPN is actually

what I personally use too and so can really recommend their service. It's also really

quick with the speed being virtually no different from not using a VPN at all and, again, it's

the only VPN to obtain a perfect score from PCMag, so please make sure to keep that in

mind. For the final question for today, I'm going

to ask you guys whether you know of any other good uses for VPNs? This video only had time

to go into a few but, like mentioned, there are actually many many more.

So please let us know your thoughts in the comments below, as well as anything else you

have to add about the overall VPN discussion. And, until next time, thank you for watching.

OnePlus 6 & LG G7 camera test vs Huawei P20 Pro & Sony Xperia XZ2 | Last Cam Standing XIII - Duration: 10:10.

It's been quite a while since we've done a Last Cam Standing showdown, but now the

LG G7 ThinQ is here to fight for the crown along with the

OnePlus 6 and Sony Xperia XZ2.

They'll battle our current smartphone camera champ, Huawei's P20 Pro.

So let's get started!

Last Cam Standing is PCWorld's video series that determines the best phone camera for

still images in a King-of-the-hill style battle.

Whichever phone wins moves on to face the next major smartphone release,

so subscribe to see the journey unfold!

First up let's check out the fighters.

By now you should be familiar with the technical prowess of Huawei's P20 Pro, our current

champ.

And please excuse the cracked back, I clumsily dropped camera equipment on it!

Butterfingers Adam here.

Never-the-less the damage had no effect on the three Lieca branded cameras and custom

processing that propelled the P20 Pro to the top spot in the last round.

The G7 ThinQ, meanwhile, continues to use a secondary wide angle camera--a track LG

is known for.

And like the G6, which dominated our tests during 2017, the G7 is also packed with powerful

camera features like the AI cam and Night Mode.

But will it be enough to take down the P20 Pro?

We'll see.

Next up is the OnePlus 6.

And even though it's a mid-range phone, it's camera is celebrated as an improvement over

the 5T that competed earlier this year.

And finally we have the Sony Xperia XZ2.

Sony brings only a single camera to the battle, but the company *does* have very advanced

sensor technology.

So we'll see how far that takes them in the showdown.

As always, our tests are broken into four categories: color, clarity, exposure, and

extra features.

Each phone is tested using its default camera, just as it was confirgured out of the box.

The P20 Pro's Master AI feature is on by default and will be marked accordingly, but

in most cases a second photo was taken with the suggestion dismissed.

Now let's get to the results of the battle!

First up is color and here we're looking for accurate reproduction and white balance.

This first shot in my house displays various degrees of warmth - with the OnePlus being

the coolest and the XZ2 the warmest.

The color tempurature affects the rest of the scene, most obvisouly on the fiddle-leaf

fig tree.

In this case the P20 Pro is the most accurate in terms of color tempurature.

Here in the garage the first thing to notice is the blazing yellow of the lights in the

OnePlus' shot.

It's very distinct, and washes the entire ceiling in a nasty mustard color.

The colors in the P20 Pro's shot are a bit more muted than what's in the Sony and LG

photos.

And of course when the master AI offers a suggestion on the P20 Pro, it's usually

some form of high contrast filter with very saturated colors.

This last shot of a door offers an interesting look at saturation.

Both the P20 Pro and the XZ2 are natural, if a bit muted, while the G7 and OnePlus 6

are bright and punchy.

In this case, the P20 Pro was once again the closest to accurate.

Now, I found a wierd problem with the G7 over the course of using it.

Every once in a while it would horribly miscalculate the white balance resulting in a completely

unusable shot.

In all my time camera testing, I've never seen something like this, and it's a real

let down from LG.

Based off of this problem alone, I can't even consider the G7 in contention for a color win.

The P20 Pro, meanwhile, has been improved through patches since our last test and offers

the most pleasing colors and accurate white balance of the bunch.

So the color category goes to Huawei's P20 Pro.

Next up is clarity.

This test digs into the sharpness of each image in various lighting scenarios.

First up is a beautiful brick wall!

Fully zoomed out, the P20 Pro and XZ2 seem to have the sharpest cameras of the bunch.

But zooming in reveals the sheer power of that 40 megapixel sensor in the P20 Pro.

I'll note that Huawei uses pixel binning to produce a 10 megapixel image by default,

but it's still damn impressive and smokes the competition.

Zooming in on this shot down the railroad tracks bears the same results.

But I have to give it to the OnePlus and Sony phones, as they still deliver quite a bit

of detail in the skyline.

As for LG, its cameras are known for a tendency to oversharpen.

Mix that in with aggresive noise reduction, and you have a loosing formula.

Moving into a dark garage really puts these phones to the test, and at such low light,

the images start to fall apart in specific ways.

Honestly though, I'm surprised by how well the OnePlus's photo was able to hold up

under scrutiny!

There is some noise present compared to the P20 Pro's version, but a little bit of noise

never hurt anyone.

Unfortunately the G7's shot is the worst of the bunch and lacks detail on the bricks.

And while the XZ2's photo isn't quite as bad, there's just too much chroma noise

for my taste.

We head into one of the darkest spots in the garage and see that the P20 Pro just seals

the deal here.

Not only is it the sharpest, it's also the most color accurate - which is super impressive

at such low light.

So it's hard to argue with the P20 Pro's ability to retain such detail in every lighting

scenario.

And even though the OnePlus 6 surprised me a few times, the clarity category easily goes

to the Huawei P20 Pro.

The third category is exposure, where I'll focus on the dynamic range of each camera

and how they each expose for a scene.

Right out of the gate we can see that LG still has one of the best dynamic ranges out of

all smartphones.

And what do I mean by best?

I mean that LG's processing does a great job of keeping enough exposure information

in both the brightest parts of the image and the darkest.

In this street scene, we can see that the clouds in the XZ2's image are blowing out,

and the darkest parts are loosing detail.

The same thing happens here at the train station.

The skylight is completely blown out in the XZ2 image, leaving no information for anyone

to use in editing.

Yes, the G7's images are flatter and have less pop because of it, but it's easier

to add pop in than take it out -- and as a photo editor, I like having that control.

The G7 isn't perfect in this category though.

Here the P20 Pro has way more information in the wood while still keeping the white

parts of the building exposed properly.

But like the Google Pixel 2 that came before it, the P20 Pro can tend to feel over processed.

Now if I were looking for the camera that had the best compromise of dynamic range and a

contrasty image, I'd lean towards the OnePlus 6.

Like the G7, it typically exposed well for complex scenes but had more contrast present

- making it an image you could use with minimal editing.

But I prefer to have more information than not enough when it comes to dynamic range.

This way I can make more decisions in post-production.

In the age of strong HDR and multi image processing, all of these phones actually handled themselves

pretty well.

But it's nice to see a lot of dynamic range present in the G7's photos, something that

I really appreciated about the G6 from last year.

So the LG G7 ThinQ wins the exposure category.

The fourth and final category looks at extra features.

Here I'll specifically be going over the hardware and software options that set each

camera experience apart.

One of the stand out features in the G7 and P20 Pro is the inclusion of a Night Mode.

In LG's case, it uses pixel binning to gather more light - which it does - but at the expense

of generating only a 4 megapixel image.

It's just not as good as Huawei's version, which takes a series of photos for around

4 seconds and stitches them together to produce amazing results.

It's such a useful feature that I hope comes to more phones.

Moving onto to the secondary cameras, things get real weird.

The XZ2 doesn't have one, the OnePlus 6 has one but it's primarily used for enabling

portrait mode, the G7 has a super wide angle lens, and the P20 Pro has three total cameras!

So it really comes down to LG's and Huawei's approach.

The P20 Pro absolutely destroys all the other phones when zoomed in using the second lens,

and it's monochrome sensor takes beautiful black and white photos on top of adding more

detail to color photos.

Nonetheless, I just found myself using the wide angle lens of the G7 way more that the

P20's telephoto lens.

LG's wide-angle allows me to get shots that I never could on another phone.

And it's upgraded lens and sensor minimizes the horrible barrel distortion and color fringing

of past LG phones.

When it comes to the user experience of each phone's default camera app, there isn't

a clear frontrunner.

LG's app isn't as fun and intuitive as it once was, and Huawei's tries to mimic

Apple's interface a bit too much.

Sony's app is very utilitarian, and OnePlus's isn't intuitive and is only a step above

stock Android.

Ultimately, I lean toward favoring the P20 Pro's app because of the sheer breadth of

features available, and luckily a patch has improved the speed of switching modes.

While I absolutely love using the super wide lens on the G7, that's really the only thing

that LG has going for it over the other phones.

Huawei just offers too many useful features in a fast and smooth package -- along

with three practical cameras.

So the Huawei P20 Pro wins the extra features category.

And now it's time to crown a winner!

I must say that even though this series is about finding the best smartphone camera in

the world I would have to place the OnePlus 6 in the category of best MID-RANGE camera

in the world.

I'm super impressed by the improvements OnePlus has implimented over the 5t, and look

forward to further refinements.

Of course, this isn't a mid-range camera battle--it's about chooing the best of the best,

and here the Huawei P20 Pro retains its title.

Using the P20 Pro to take photos is a treat whether you're a seasoned photographer like

me or a casual snapper who posts to Instagram.

The sheer specs and power on display in this phone are undeniable.

And the Master AI is a non-invasive tool that can add that special pizzaz to a photo if

you want it.

If you must have the best smartphone camera in your pocket right now, then you won't

be disappionted with the P20 Pro.

Bu of course, Samsung will be releasing the Note 9 soon, so it'll get another shot at the

title.

Be sure to let me know what you think of the results and please subscribe so you don't

miss the next matchup!

Corporations Have Been Mangling People With Hernia Mesh For Far Too Long - Duration: 8:01.

A popular brand of surgical mesh used to repair hernias has been found to cause dangerous

problems in patients that have it implanted in their bodies.

You know what's so crazy about this story?

This has been going on for so long.

Johnson and Johnson, for example, knew that the material that was being used in mesh hernia

material would cause a whole host of problems.

First of all, it would migrate through the body, it would break away, and these pieces

of mesh would migrate through the body.

Second of all, it would not allow the site to even heal.

The infections are overwhelming.

The long-term problems and pain are overwhelming.

The reason they know this is because four other companies had been making the same thing,

and four other companies had been sued for the same thing, and that took place years

ago.

But Johnson and Johnson, just like Johnson and Johnson always does, says well, you know,

we're going to do it anyways.

It's just like, you know, the baby powder case.

A friend of mine just hit them for $4 billion in 22 cases of cancer.

Johnson and Johnson always focuses on the bottom line, always to the detriment of consumers.

Take it from here.

I've actually, full dis colure, I've handled these cases.

I know a lot about them.

I know why the material is causing such danger, but go ahead and talk about that.

Johnson and Johnson, through their little subsidiary, Ethicon, developed these polypropylene

meshes, which as you said, other people had already had on the market.

Johnson and Johnson wanted in on it because they saw that, hey, everybody else is making

a ton of money, we need to develop a polypropylene mesh.

Even though we know they're getting sued, don't worry, we're going to make more money

than they'll take from us in the courts.

So, they make it, and sure enough it causes migration.

It causes adhesion, where it either ... basically becomes a part of the organ, or it makes organs

fuse together if they're touching with this mesh.

It causes massive infections and horrid inflammation, because of the chemicals in this polypropylene

actually hinder the healing process.

It makes it harder for the hernia to heal.

And of course, doctors, anytime something like this comes out, unfortunately, these

drug reps go out, they say, "Hey, we know you've been using these old meshes, that have

been perfectly fine, but here's something new.

It's lighter, it's more flexible, it's going to make your patients feel so much better,

so use our mesh instead of the old things that have worked for so long."

Let me put this in perspective for you.

Okay.

You're in a business, and five, six years before, there are hundreds and hundreds of

cases saying that this thing that you're about to put on the market will cause bad human

injury.

Now, for example, if you can imagine, these were actually used for vaginal ... there's

a vaginal mesh program.

Now, we're talking about hernia mesh, which is the same material.

It caused such injury inside a woman's vagina and the whole area around anywhere it touched,

it caused these Adhesions, it caused pain that was so bad that woman had to basically

have hysterectomies, I mean radical hysterectomies because the pain was so bad.

As you said, the mesh would merge with other tissue, it would merge with other organs,

and women died from this.

There's no difference in the material we're talking about here, where they use this for

small bowel resections sections.

They use it for ventral hernia repair.

They use it for bilateral tissue flaps.

They use it for a whole host of things.

Why do they use it?

They use it because doctors who aren't really trained in some of these procedures can then

say, "Well, I don't really need to have special training, I'll just use this mesh package

that little Susie distributor shows up at the doctor's office with cupcakes.

Doc, we got a new product.

It's this mesh product.

You can use it in surgery.

You don't have to be a specialist.

You can put this in anybody's body."

It is a disaster, and Doc, who's simply looking at the business aspect of it says, "Oh, that's

great.

I can do more procedures.

I don't have to have special training, because I have this package.

It's the hernia package.

It's the Johnson and Johnson hernia package that I can use every single day without special

training."

And in the mean time, they botch the process, and hundreds of thousands of people all over

the world are using these kinds of products, and it's killing them.

And Johnson and Johnson says, "Oh, that's okay, we can still turn a profit."

Here's a really good analogy for what you just said.

It's basically the difference between going and hiring a master craftsman to make you

a desk, or going and buying a pre-boxed packaged desk with pieces one, two, three, four, five,

that comes with the instructions on how to put it together.

You're going to get a lesser quality product, but it's cheaper and faster.

And that's what these mesh kits are.

It is a step by step, paint by the numbers, every hernia is the same, so don't worry about

it if you've never done one before.

The instructions are basically on the back of the box.

Right.

Whereas in the past, you would have a skilled surgeon go in, they wouldn't have to use these.

They would get in there, repair the tissue.

It would take a little bit longer, they couldn't do as many surgeries in the day.

But when hospitals became all about profits, it was turn them and burn them.

Get them in, get them out.

Hospitals became a corporation.

No longer doctor hospitals, it's no different than Exxon.

It's just, it's a hospital.

But it's a corporate hospital.

Look, if you're told, listen to this.

You're told, yeah, you can use this product, but you might want to know it can cause death,

it can cause, where it's put in, it'll cause that area to deform.

It'll cause contact and migration with other organ systems that will cause failure of the

organ systems.

It'll induce adhesion's that cause chronic and severe pain that we can't correct.

But you know, you're welcome to use it.

These are the types of things the patient doesn't know, because the patient trusts the

doctor.

The doctor says, "Oh, yeah, this is good stuff."

And if they only understood how little the doctor really knows about it, especially the

doctors who are using this stuff, because these aren't doctors, as you say, most of

the time, it's not like special craftsman surgeons who can solve this problem without

any kind of mesh.

They can solve it without mesh, they can solve it with real tissue.

But you know what, every doctor can't do that, therefore you reduce the business that a doctor

can do.

Right, and you got the board of directors at a hospital saying, "Hey, you spent three

hours on this surgery.

We could've had the guy from down the hall do it in one hour with a mesh kit.

That's more money."

But also, we have to talk about the FDA's role in this, because Johnson and Johnson,

as you said, they came to the mesh part a little later than everybody else.

A lot later.

They didn't have to get approval for their hernia mesh, because the FDA is so screwed

up that the rule is you walk into the office and say, "Hey, I've got this new mesh, but

it's so similar to these other meshes on the market, that we didn't have to do any testing

because they did the testing.

You approve theirs, you have to approve ours."

And when it goes bad, doctors that we talked to, the first round of these mesh cases, doctors

we talked to said it's the equivalent of trying to remove concrete from rebar when we're trying

to remove this, only we're talking about human tissue.

Joey, what's going on?

Rosanna: It's been 30 minutes since Joey played the harp,

and nothing is happening.

I'm, like, trying to just, like, will it to work.

I don't know, maybe if you just put your feelings into it...

This harp is faulty.

- Please work, please work, please work. - It's not gonna work, is it?

- I did exactly what it said. - Okay, okay.

Joey: I stroked it three times,

and I thought of who I wanted to bring back.

I don't know why they're not here.

Safiya: I thought that the harp was gonna work.

Maybe it's just another game.

I'm honestly hopeful.

I'm just more worried about

who exactly we brought back.

Whoever comes back

is gonna have a vengeance.

If I came back from the dead,

girl, I'd be really pissed.

( knock at door ) - Oh, my God!

Joey: So there's a knock at the door,

and I think I know who it is.

Joey: Hello?

Manny: What is that? - It's a box.

It's, like, a briefcase.

Huh, not--not what I was expecting,

but you know what?

Uh, I like a briefcase.

Sure, I'll take it.

Mortimer: I know who that belonged to.

What?

Some deadbeat insurance salesman.

So you know who this case belongs to? How do you know?

I mean, I used to. He lived in the town.

Safiya: You said he was an insurance salesman?

I don't trust insurance people.

Joey: Drawings.

(gasps) Oh, my God.

Joey: Mat! Rosanna: Mat!

Joey: Oh, my God! It worked!

It is Mat. I am so excited.

He looks like-- I don't know--he went on

an all-night bender, but I gue--I mean,

what would you look like when you come back from the dead?

It worked.

- ( laughs ) - It worked!

Oh, my God. I'm so happy.

I chose to bring back Matpat.

You know, it was a very obvious decision,

especially after everything that went down.

( laughs )

Nikita: Mat, I'm actually so happy to see you.

- You don't understand. - Mat, we are so happy to see you. Hi, oh!

Joey: Mat, we were able to bring one person back.

- And we brought back you. - And we chose you.

- You chose me? - We chose you.

Matpat: They could have brought anyone back,

and so for them to specifically

choose me meant so much.

Safiya: I don't know where Matpat's been or what's happened to him,

but I'm mostly just glad to have him back.

Joey: Mat... - Thank you.

There's one thing I need to know.

What happened when you died?

Matpat: Saw the church, and--and standing in front

of the church was a blonde woman and an Asian man.

The Society Against Evil.

They--they said that one of us had been to that church before.

- You were right. - I told you.

While I was dead, it also became clear to me that Joey wasn't lying,

that he is an integral piece in this mission,

and that we do need him to survive so that we can escape.

Nikita: That's all great and everything,

and I don't mean to cut this really intense moment for you.

I know you literally just died two seconds ago.

But we just got more clues, and...

we really need your help now more than ever.

Way to put me to work, guys. "Go, do this puzzle for us."

Fine, it's good to get back to business.

Nikita: "Tell my story to let the fun begin."

And it has numbers, and this looks actually like--

Joey: Just like that. Manny: That.

Nikita: We're going through the drawings,

and they're definitely not the kinds of pictures I was

drawing as a little kid. Let me just say that.

- So we're figuring-- - They all have Ws.

Matpat: Ws, I think the Ws is a person.

Rosanna: It's the same person.

He's growing up.

What did you say his name was?

Mortimer: His name was Willie.

Rosanna: Willie, that's a W.

Manny: That's Willie. - Give me the beginning one and a tack.

So we start tacking the drawings against the wall

in the order that we think they took place.

So where do we think that comes next?

Because he's born into this world.

Rosanna: Is this a mustache? Matpat: I was gonna say,

that might be a mustache on--

Rosanna: See, he has a mustache here.

- That's his wife. - This is his wife.

Matpat: So he gets married. - Oh.

Matpat: He gets abused by his wife.

Manny: He has three faces on the last picture.

Joey: He does. Manny: I know.

So we start off with being born, and then we go into

his parents fighting, him peeing himself,

and then being bullied at school,

going off to war, getting married,

getting into fights with his wife,

leaving his wife, making a deal with the devil,

and then seemingly going mad?

Joey: Last one's tacked in.

- It opened. Manny: Whoa, we got it.

- I heard it. Manny: We totally got it.

Nikita: Okay, we got it right?

This box opens, and in it is a red button.

And I'm thinking, "Push it."

- Should I press it? Rosanna: Are you gonna push it?

- The artifact? - I'm ready.

Joey: We need to press it. - Team vote, yes?

Joey: Let's do it. Safiya: Push it.

Nikita: We don't have time. - ( all screaming )

We're in the dark. Which I am afraid of.

Joey: Is everyone okay? All: Yeah.

- Mortimer-- - Ooh!

Matpat: Oh, my God. Oh.

- Whoa. - Oh.

Joey: Another box. Manny: Another thing opened.

Matpat: Oh, wait, something else opened?

Safiya: Something's blinking. - A light.

It's a light. A flashlight.

Safiya: You guys, um, I don't think

we've looked at the map yet.

Manny: Oh, my God, we haven't looked at the map yet.

Safiya: All right, so clearly what's new here

is the funhouse.

It says, "The Funhouse is open for business.

- Bloody Business." - Bloody business, of course.

Oh, look, around the room, there's a line.

Safiya: Oh. Manny: Oh, my God.

So I grab the flashlight,

and I start flashing it on different

parts of the room, and I realize that there's

certain places that are glowing.

Joey: "Travel symbol to"-- Safiya: "Symbol to symbol."

Joey: "Travel symbol to symbol starting with the swirl."

Safiya: Look at how "follow" is written.

Safiya: Look at that O. Joey: That's a zero.

Nikita: That's a zero.

So we have the word "follow" and the number zero.

Matpat: And from there, follow the arrows along

until we reach a symbol.

From there, we hop to the next symbol

- and follow that pathway. Joey: Five--zero, four, five.

Rosanna: Zero four five. Safiya: The happy face.

- We need to find another smiley face. - Yeah.

Joey: I found it! It's over here.

Rosanna: Zero, four, five, three?

Matpat: When we get down to the end of the line,

we have a sequence of four numbers

but don't know what to do with it.

So we go back and reread the words.

Safiya: "Follow grave instructions"-- What was three?

Joey: Literally. Follow grave instructions literally.

Manny: Okay, where's a grave?

Matpat: Where have we seen a grave?

Joey: Over here! Manny: It's a gra--

It's a literal grave. That's exactly right.

Joey: R.I.P--rip. Rip!

Grave instructions literally--rip it off.

Matpat: Where? Joey: Rip it!

Joey: Just rip! Manny: Oh, my God.

Joey: There it is.

Matpat: Oh, shoot.

So I put in the combination and open it up.

Manny: Oh.

Safiya: And inside is the next artifact.

It says, "The Psychedelic Swirl warps and distorts the souls

"of all who stare into it.

"To cleanse this wicked artifact,

"you must brave the rooms of the funhouse.

"You'll need a ticket to enter, but don't plan

on making it back out."

And next to the artifact are tickets,

tickets to a funhouse.

It looks like we're gonna be needing three light bulbs

or three pieces to complete the wheel.

Rosanna: Mm-hmm.

What about Calliope and Mortimer?

We don't have tickets for you guys.

I guess that means we can't go with you guys.

We'll take you as far as the entrance.

- "We are not liable for death." - "Liable for death"?

"We are not liable for death."

I'm just thinking, "How fun can this funhouse really be, girl?"

Manny: So we walk up--it's the creepiest funhouse I've ever seen in my entire life.

Literally, like, there's, like--it's a cat

with, like, eyes spinning, the guy walks out,

and we realize, like, that's Willie.

That's the guy from the drawings.

A few rules before you suffer. ( groans )

At the end of the hall is an elevator.

You want to enter in at one at a time or--

Rosanna: Willie has four different personalities.

Sometimes he's happy, and sometimes he's,

like, a monster.

I'll rip your guts out with a fishhook.

( groans )

The elevator will spew you into a room

which you must solve quickly.

Bitch, choose one and stick to it.

Every few minutes, I'll spin the dial of disaster,

and whatever room it lands on...

( groans ) I will enter

and take one of you out back for punishment.

I don't understand what Willie has going on in his head.

Now, a red light may flash from time to time,

and when you're in the room, you must get into the elevator

within five seconds. ( groans )

Let's have some horrible fun. Tickets, please.

- Please, hurry. Rosanna: I'm terrified.

In every scary situation, you never wanna divide.

When you divide, that's when the bad stuff happens.

- Wish me luck, guys. All: Good luck.

Rosanna: Mat, be careful. Matpat: I step into the elevator,

and all of a sudden, I'm spinning.

Oh, okay. Hey, stop me!

( creepy music )

Oops. Okay. Oh, oh, hey, hi.

- Oh, this is fun. - ( balloon pops )

Oh, Jesus Christ!

There were so many balloons in this room.

It was awesome. It was like the best birthday party you could ask for.

After a few minutes, Safiya comes in,

followed by Ro, my two favorite people in this group.

"That wretched woman hid all five of my treats.

Put them back where they belong."

Presumably, I need to start popping some balloons

in order to find his pieces of candy and then put those

candies in a box to complete

his nicely arranged candy collection.

Grab a pin. We need to find--

We need to find treats, I'm assuming

- hidden in the balloons. - Okay.

Matpat: I have a needle, and I'm ripping through them.

Safia has a needle, and she's ripping through them.

Ro doesn't have a needle, and she's...

- trying. - ( balloons popping )

Matpat: Okay, I found a treat. I found a treat.

Joey: Walking into the funhouse,

I really don't know what to expect,

but I do appreciate the rainbow lights.

So I get spit out from the elevator

into the sideways room,

and I am completely disoriented.

I thought I just defied gravity and all of a sudden,

I'm walking on the walls.

I don't know what's going on here.

"Now that the house has gone sideways,

"everything is out of sorts.

Hurry and set things right."

Nikita: We have to rearrange a bunch of objects

in this room, and I'm like, "Girl, uh, I think there's

"a lot more that needs to be rearranged in this room

"besides just these little simple wild creatures

and things."

So this is a chewy candy that's chocolate,

which makes me believe that it would be here.

Basically each row has been categorized in a different way.

At the bottom, you've got kind of, like, chewy chocolate candies.

- So you have one. - This one? All right, I have one.

We need to complete all five rows.

- Keep going? - Yeah, keep looking.

And they're small.

And we finally find all of the candies that we need.

- Okay. Matpat: Oh, the chest opened!

Safiya: Oh! Matpat: Here we go.

Okay. Oh, here's a clue. Here's a clue.

"Carnival Master corrupted one of you."

Wait.

- We should be doing something. - You know we cannot.

( dramatic music )

Master: I need a funhouse man.

♪ ♪

I've seen this one before.

♪ ♪

What are you doing?

♪ ♪

- ( laughter ) - No!

Mortimer: ( grunts )

Listen to this one.

It says, "My wife loved to pursue the encyclopedias,

"but she lays them around.

Was it that hard to put them back together?"

Where they belong, okay.

I'm truly--like, my heart rate just goes

higher and higher and higher.

I swear the diarrhea gets worse.

It literally just becomes a thing.

- Oh, I got an encyclopedia! Manny: Okay, great, great, great.

- Um, this is F. Joey: I got it.

Wait, wait, wait, Joey. Right there, right there.

Is that-- Was that one right there?

- Where? Yes. - Right there.

- What does that say? - A.

Manny: Is that A? Joey: Oh, put it here.

Joey: Put it here. This is where it starts.

Manny: We need E, you guys. That's all we need is E.

Matpat: Okay, we've got a key,

we've got the World Encyclopedia, and we have--

- All these rings. - A bunch of rings.

Rosanna: We find this encyclopedia in the room,

and it's not helping us in any situation.

It must be something to help our friends.

I'm spinning the wheel.

And it looks like I'll be in room...

- The book belongs in-- - The book belongs in another room.

We have to get it to another room.

So we have to get them to everyone else.

- Oh, I have a key. Willie: Come on out!

Matpat: There is no place for us to hide.

We're in such a small space, he finds us in no time.

Willie: Come here! Matpat: No!

Rosanna: No, Mat, no! - Take the key!

Both: Mat! - Just use the key on the box!

So Willie drags me through the house back through the elevator

and takes me around back where he throws me into

a chain link prison. Why me?

Leave me alone, four-face! Hello?

I'm looking for a way out.

I try ramming down the door.

I start looking on the ground for anything

that might be a key or help me pick a lock.

Nothing. I'm stuck.

Here, this has a lock.

Safiya: Oh. Rosanna: Use this.

Matpat: Hello! Rosanna: Mat!

- Mat, we're gonna come help you, okay? - Here we go.

Safiya: "This was one of my favorite pieces...

"till my wife smashed it.

Reassemble it just right, please."

It's gotta be based on the colors.

So the colors must be similar to those around it.

At first, I thought the game was that you were supposed to line up

the colors so that you were always next to, like,

a matching color, but there are not enough

pieces with the right colors.

- This is wrong. This is wrong. - This is not--

So we're thinking that there has to be something else

in another room that our friends

could maybe help us with.

Manny: "My favorite artist. I'd take one.

Your friends in the other room will surely need it."

Joey: Need what? Manny: "My favorite artist."

Nikita: Oh, wait, right here. Manny: "I'd take one."

Joey: So I found this map with a bunch of, like,

lollipop shapes that connects to the Candy Land room.

Spinning the wheel again. Uh-oh.

I'll be coming for you now.

( dramatic music )

Nikita: And homeboy really jumps up inside of our room,

but clearly there's nowhere to hide,

- so I got got. Matpat: Here he comes again,

this time dragging Nikita with him.

Willie: There you are. All right. - I'll gladly go in here.

Willie: Have a great time, you guys.

- Coffee will be served later. Nikita: Thank you.

Willie: Bye. Matpat: Fantastic.

So there's another note down here.

It says, "You'd never find my wife without a drink."

- That--the drink. - A drink?

Joey: "I don't ever want to see that goblet again.

Just put it in the rafters."

Hmm, hmm.

Joey, come here. Come here, come here, come here.

What is--it's pointing at something.

Joey: Maybe that-- It worked. Okay.

- We still need to find that-- - Oh, my God!

Safiya: Oh! Rosanna: Red light, red light!

Keep working! I'm going! I'm going!

The red light goes on, and that means I gotta get back

in the elevator or uh-oh.

So I grab the book and jump on in.

Rosanna: Joey? Manny? - Oh, my God, Rosanna.

- She has the final book. Manny: Hi.

- I have a book. - You have the book?

- You have it. - Oh, my God.

Manny: E and G, that's it. Rosanna: Whoa, whoa!

Manny: "I hid this money from my wife

"so that one day I could escape.

"The combination is in the constellations of the sky.

Maybe a friend can give you a hand?"

Joey: Wait, the red light! The red light!

Manny: Red light. Oh, my God. Rosanna: Red light!

Oh, my God. They need this.

Manny: Lollipops. Rosanna: And we don't know

the orde--Yes, this is it. This is it.

So the red light goes off, and I'm like,

"All right, I was the first one in here.

I gotta go." Oh, my gosh.

It's so crazy in here.

- What is this place? Safiya: Joey, I need the map.

Okay, I got something with a bunch of lollipops.

Oh, my God, perfect.

So I show her this pamphlet that I have that basically

is the key to what we need to do.

Safiya: This one is purple, yellow, blue, orange.

Safia: Right here. Joey: Wow, this is making

- my eyes go crazy. Safiya: Oh, crap.

That's the red light. Joey, I have to go.

- Okay, good luck. Safiya: The red light goes off,

and I have to run into the elevator.

And I end up in this lava room.

"Keep off the lava or start over."

I have to press the button on top of the podium

to get a pattern of lights, and then I have to press all

of those lights in the corresponding color order.

So this lava room is basically like one big giant

Simon Says game.

Jinkies, you guys, hurry.

Matpat: Anytime now, guys.

Do you have, like, anything in that giant

bouffant of yours? Oh, don't break a nail, girl.

Nikita: Oh, honey, these are reinforced acrylics.

Check in the room if there's any stars anywhere.

Check outside the window and see

if there's any stars outside.

Any stars? It's day--it's daytime.

- Just check just in case. - It's daytime.

Any stars? Any stars?

This one and then--and then this one right here.

Willie: You did a good job. You've completed this room.

Joey: So I solve that, and then I get to go into

the final room.

- Blue. Joey: What the hell?

Safiya: One second, Joey. Joey: Okay, hi.

Safiya: Hi. - What's going on in here?

Rosanna, do you see any stars anywhere in the room?

Any pictures of anything?

Rosanna: Okay, let me look.

And we put it together that we're supposed to...

Yep.

Okay, going in here. Okay, I'm in.

( screams ) In the lava room,

I spot this constellation. It is so beautiful.

And it got me to thinking about what Manny and I were

just talking about.

Constellation. Wait, is that something?

- You guys, you guys! Safiya: Ro, press the red button.

Manny: Is anyone in there? Oh, my gosh, Joey.

Yes, Joey, Joey, Joey. Joey, you can see me.

I'm right here. Joey, I can see you, bitch.

Green and then--

Manny: Get your ass back here.

- Safiya, Safiya, Safiya. - Yes?

Okay, there's constellations on the wall.

I need you guys to give me that code.

Wait, Manny! Look in he--Hi!

Hi, honey, I've been calling to you this whole time!

You've been busy!

So what are we doing? What do you need?

Left to right, give me the numbers.

- Give me the numbers. - You guys, you can see.

Rosanna: One, two, three, four--

the first one is five.

- Six, actually. - ( laughs )

Rosanna: Six, five, four, eight.

( beeping )

Manny: No, no, no, no. Rosanna: Is that it?

Manny: Yes! Safiya: All right.

Joey: Okay. Safiya: Ready?

Great. Okay, we have cash.

What is this? What is this?

Willie: My, oh, my. You have completed the room.

( bell rings )

I'll be coming for you now. ( grunts )

Safia: Green. What's the next one, Joey?

Oh, no, he's coming after me!

Safia: Joey, what's the next one?

Joey: Honestly, I was ready for Willie to come and take me.

I was having quite some difficulty remembering

what those colors were.

Manny: All right, all right, all right, all right.

Safiya: I'm gonna focus on the first ones.

- Come in. Manny: Cash?

- Oh, my gosh. Safiya: All right, here we go.

All right, so I'm gonna press it,

and then I'm gonna remember the first three numb--

like, the first three lights,

and you remember the second three, okay?

Willie: I'm gonna spin the wheel one more time.

Ooh, ooh. Are we having fun in here?

Oh, my God.

Does anyone wanna go for a walk?

Ooh, let's run off. Let's run off.

( scoffs )

We're gonna go for a little walk,

maybe reapply some mascara, who knows?

I don't need to. I have lashes on.

Matpat: Manny comes next, and by this point,

we're all pretty helpless.

We're all at the mercy of Willie.

So I basically tell Ro I'm gonna cover

the first four colors.

She pushes her buttons, and I hop around and push my buttons.

( beeping )

Yes. ( cheerful humming )

Willie: We have a winner, ladies and gentlemen.

Both of you exit the room and claim your prize.

Rosanna: Let the record show the funhouse was not fun.

I gave it a zero stars on Yelp.

( dramatic music )

Here, let's go, Ro. I think that we're out of here.

We run down the hallway,

and at the end of the hallway, we see a note and a box

hanging with two light bulbs inside.

And I'm thinking these must be the light bulbs

that go inside the artifact.

"Lucky you, take your prize. Now get back to the lounge

"and decide who among you cap-- who among your captured friends

will undertake my final challenge."

- What? - "Choose wisely.

You never know what can happen in my house."

- Oh, my God. Guys? - You guys?

All: ( shouting ) Rosanna: Guys, there you are.

Oh, my God, guys, how do we get you out of here?

Nikita: I don't know. Get us out. Matpat: Do you have a key?

- Did you get anything? Safiya: We just have a note.

Rosanna: We got this note. - What does it say?

We have to choose one of you captured

for the final challenge.

Wait, so you guys get to choose which one of us goes into

the elimination?

Ro and Safiya have to choose between me, Manny, Mat,

and Nikita, and I'm just hoping they don't choose me.

Think about everything that's been done in this game.

I was helping you in the room. Remember that.

We know. Obviously we're gonna pick wisely

or as wisely as we can,

but we have to get back to the lounge.

Be smart about this. Come on.

We'll try and help you if we can.

- Come on, Ro. - Don't pick me, bitches!

Safiya: So Ro and I walk back into the lounge,

and Mortimer's not there. Only Calliope is.

Hey, Calliope, where's Mortimer?

I don't know, he left in a fright after you guys did.

Something spooked him. I haven't seen him since.

Safiya: Ro and I are in the lounge trying to figure out

who we should choose to send into this final challenge.

What do you think, Ro?

I can't put Joey in danger. I wanna protect him.

I just feel very mama bear.

I need to protect him at all costs.

I'm not gonna put him anywhere near danger.

And then with Mat, Mat just came back.

- He just came back. - I agree.

It seems pretty unfair, you know, to put him back

into another final death challenge.

So then we only have two other names.

Manny and Nikita.

( dramatic music )

I go over and choose one

of the two cards at random.

I choose Manny. She chooses Nikita.

Safiya: It's so horrible, but it feels like there's

no other two people to send into the challenge

besides Manny and Nikita.

What do we do now?

I guess we just wait.

All: ( screaming )

Manny: Oh, my God. Joey: No, no, no, no, no.

- ( laughs ) - No.

Your friends that made it out safe chose you two

in the middle to enter the funhouse one last time.

Matpat: Considering that Manny and Nikita

are two best friends, this is, like, the worst

possible scenario outside of me being put up for elimination.

Obviously.

You and you, scram!

Joey: I'm just so relieved it's not me.

But I don't know what's gonna happen.

Oh, my Gosh. Thank you so much.

Matpat: Yeah, thank you.

I know that was a tough decision.

Thank you so much.

Thank you so much.

Nikita: I'm honestly devastated at this point.

Manny and I have been in this together the whole time.

But we realized that we have no choice and we need to walk in

together and I'm feeling very protective over Nikita because

she is just my girl, you know?

And I've loved her since freaking the day I met her.

Nikita: Even though I'm going up against him,

I don't think I would have it any other way.

♪ ♪

- What in the-- - What is this?

Ultimately this is a race between Manny and I.

We both are going into this knowing that we're gonna go 100%.

If we do come back from this,

whichever one of us it is,

those bitches will pay.

We're gonna be coming for blood.

Both: "Once you complete the challenge,

"jump into the elevator and it'll take you

"to the next room.

"First one through all three

will have defeated the funhouse."

Step inside to begin."

And the first room that we're in is a series of lollipops,

and we basically have to match them to the correct taste.

( dramatic music )

( gags )

They're literally, like, the nastiest things

I've ever tasted in my entire life.

It's like we have, like, a freaking bacon.

We have a fish. ( gags )

It's so gross.

Oh, my God, this is spicy. This is spicy.

- This is spicy. This is spicy. - Ah!

I've had a lot of things in my mouth,

but this by far was probably the third nastiest thing.

Manny: Oh, that's vile. It's vile.

It smells like fish vagina.

Nikita: Um, salt, grape, cumin, Earl Grey, watermelon,

jalapeño, fish.

Willie: You did a good job. You've completed this room.

Oh, okay. Sorry, Manny.

Bye, babe. Good luck.

Nikita: I'm so shocked when I'm able

to match everything up.

I race over into the elevator and it opens up

to the floor is lava room.

"Toss one beanbag in each of the five holes

"from behind the red line.

"Step in the lava and you have to start back over.

"And no cheating.

You can only take one beanbag at a time."

It's basically a game of beanbag toss on crazy high stakes.

Oh, this is hard in heels.

Bacon, watermelon, strawberry, fish, Earl Grey, peppermint, cheese.

Willie: It looks like you're almost there.

How close are we talking here?

- I hate this. Willie: Don't step in the lava,

- or I'll come for you. Nikita: One, two.

♪ ♪

I think I have one more. Come on, Nikita.

Bacon, pickle, apple, fish, Earl Grey, peppermint, cheese?

Willie: You've completed this room. - Oh, my God, I'm right? Yeah!

Finally I solve the lollipop clue, and I'm like, "Oh, my God, okay,

I'm allowed to continue on." Nikita's still in the room, though,

so maybe I still have a chance.

Willie: My, oh, my. You have completed the room. - Shit.

"Riddle me this. Twist to begin."

Twist. Oh, bitch.

Willie: There's no chance you can finish this in time.

Nikita: Oh, come on, you got home drunk from the club.

You've been in these situations before.

Too big, too big. I know this is--

Willie: You keep doing it wrong.

You've got one more clue to go.

Manny: There's one. Willie: You're almost done. And I'll be sad to see you go.

Manny: I finally get to a point where I'm, like, in this groove.

I get four in a row. I'm like boom, boom, boom, boom.

"Solve the riddle and find the object and place it in its appropriate spot

"to win the dual. When I am young, I am tall. When I am old, I am short.

Sweat makes me age and breath is my foe."

A candle, a candle.

Willie: You have completed the room. Nikita: A candle.

I find the candle, and I have to place it on the table.

The second I slam it in, I'm like, "I just won. I'm so happy."

Manny, I'm sorry.

But then it hits me that my best friend, I just killed my best friend.

Willie: We have a winner, ladies and gentlemen.

Both of you exit the room and claim your prize.

And I lose the challenge, and I know I'm gonna die.

Of course I'm so fearful of dying, and I don't know what I'm gonna do.

And I'm thinking I'm gonna be leaving Nikita behind.

I'm gonna leave the entire crew behind.

And I wish I could just be there with them to escape this freaking night.

♪ ♪

What is this? Oh, my God.

"The sad news is, you both get to live."

♪ ♪

Nikita: Both of us are safe, and I'm beyond excited.

And I'm floored. "Breaks my heart, it really does."

"The very good news, however, is, the person who voted the winner into the challenge

is getting their guts torn open right now."

( ominous music )

Now is as good of a time as any.

"Carnival master corrupted one of you."

This probably means someone recently became corrupted.

- Mat, do you feel funny? - Why--Why do you think it's me?

♪ ♪

- ( gasps ) - Oh, my God! Why is he here?

- Holy sh-- Rosanna: Oh, my gosh, oh, my gosh.

Joey: Oh my God, oh, my God, oh, my God, oh, my God.

The unexpected happened,

and Willie comes waltzing into our lounge--

our supposedly "safe" lounge.

Stay away! Why are you here?

We didn't go in the challenge! What happened to them?

What's going on? Where's Manny and Nikita?

Joey: Hey--No! No! No! Rosanna: No, no, no, no, no, no, no!

All: ( screaming )

She's dead, and with no explanation.

( snarling )

Thanks for playing at the funhouse. See you.

Joey: No! All: Safiya!

Joey: You feel like you know what the rules are, and then they just get

switched up on you. It's not fair what happened to Safiya.

- "Take the bulb and go before I kill you too." - Bitch.

- Let's go, come on. - Oh, my God, come on. Take it, take it, take it.

- Oh, my God. - Let's go.

- I can't believe we're alive. We're alive.

Nikita: Come on. Manny: Okay, come on.

( all talking at once )

This is not right.

Joey: Guys, what happened? - We're alive, what--

- Oh, my God. - Why is she dead?

Matpat: You're both here?

When Manny and I walk into that room, we have no idea who actually voted for me.

And then we realized Safiya voted for Nikita and that's why she's dead.

Manny: You guys, we survived. Matpat: How did you both survive?

He told us that the winner of the challenge,

whoever voted us in--

Manny: Was gonna die. And Nikita won. I'm relieved at this point.

She voted for Nikita in. Ro voted for me in.

One of them died. And I'm like, "Good."

Matpat: You don't have to say it with such attitude.

- I'm just saying-- - I think she deserved it.

Matpat: Safiya died!

Listen, she voted me to die,

and she got what she deserved.

If that was me, would you be acting the same?

I don't know why it's so hard for Mat to understand. I was fighting for my life.

And when Safiya's dead, I'm so sad,

but at this point, I have to survive.

Enough fighting, okay? This is exactly what they want us to do.

They want us to be against each other.

We need to come together.

Otherwise, we're not gonna get out of here.

Well, that being said, we found the light bulb,

and now we can cleanse this artifact.

( dramatic music )

All right, let's find the next artifact.

US Treasury announces sanctions over weapons - Duration: 0:36.

The U.S. Treasury Department has imposed sanctions on a number of

people and entities with connections to Syria's chemical

weapons. The sanctions target five groups and eight

individuals. The Treasury says they are "key components" in a

network that gets electronics for the agency developing

Syria's chemical weapons. The move was in coordination with

the French government, which renewed asset freezes on a

number of groups and people from the same network. Syria has

allegedly used chemical weapons at least 34 times since 2013,

but some estimates put that number as high as 85.

I learned ASL For My Son - Duration: 6:22.

- I'm Ali, and this is my son, Rafael.

I am hoping to learn American Sign Language

over the next 60 days.

Yay!

When Rafael was born, he failed his newborn hearing

screening at the hospital.

At six weeks old, we were given the diagnosis

that he has profound unilateral hearing loss

in his right ear, which means he is completely deaf

in his right ear, and that means there's a lot

of question marks.

He does have normal hearing in his left ear,

but I've talked to parents all over the country

with children with unilateral hearing loss,

and their experiences are vastly different

in terms of communication.

Some kids do totally fine with just one working ear.

Some kids rely completely on American Sign Language

as their form of communication, and some lie

somewhere in between.

When we got that first diagnosis from the audiologist,

the experience there was a little bit dry.

You know, she sort of gave us the diagnosis

and then immediately tried to sell us

a certain brand of hearing aid.

She sorta presented it as this is the only solution.

She sent us to an ENT and we didn't have

a great experience there either.

We felt sort of very lost after that.

We decided to get a second opinion,

so we went to Children's Hospital,

and we found an audiologist who gave us the same diagnosis

but talked to us more about different options.

We felt more listened to.

And the very next day, I got a phone call

from someone reaching out to me, saying, you know,

we received your son's diagnosis and we're gonna

put you in touch with a group called ParentLinks,

which is a community for parents of children

with hearing loss, so you can connect

with other parents who are going through the same thing.

It's been incredible to be enveloped by this

amazing community of parents and educators

and people who are advocates for children with hearing loss.

That's one of the reasons why I'm really interested

in learning ASL is just to give him another tool,

another way of communicating with him.

I just wanna give him every opportunity to succeed.

I think he's extraordinary.

At the very beginning, I started taking

some online ASL lessons, and at first, it was very basic.

It was just sort of like words.

So after about a week and a half of online,

I'm learning a lot of vocabulary words.

I was sick last week, so I know that I was sick.

The hard part for me right now,

and the frustrating is like putting it all together

and trying to create sentences,

because the grammar and the sentence structure

is very, very different.

Every time I look at my kid and I see that he knows

the sign for more.

More, you want more?

Or I think about how, yes, it might be difficult,

but I wanna keep going and I wanna be able

to help him communicate more.

It was really hard learning online only,

because I didn't have anyone to sort of like feedback with.

And then I actually started working with an ASL tutor, Loni.

We just had our first meeting and it was really

intimidating at first.

As soon as I saw her, I said,

"Hi, I'm Ali, nice to meet you."

You know, and she was happy that I knew that.

But then, I just sort of forgot myself

and started talking to her.

I said, "We're gonna go to Kate's desk right now

"and get some paperwork," and she had to remind me,

"I'm deaf," but she made me feel at ease right away,

'cause she could tell that I was very nervous.

I did a lot of writing things down today,

because I was a little overwhelmed, overwhelmed.

I know that's okay, sort of, at the beginning,

but I wanna be respectful of Loni

and not sort of have to write everything down all the time.

There was really great, because actually having

one-on-one time to go back and forth and practice my signs

with an actual person who knows the language,

it was just like a whole 'nother world of learning.

So I'm gonna quiz myself on some of these flashcards

that Loni and I have been working on.

I will not look, but I'll show you.

So this sign is daughter.

(bell rings)

So I'm about halfway through.

One of the things I really need to start working on now,

too, is to actually have conversation.

And that's where it gets a little bit tricky,

because ASL is its own language.

There's two different things.

There's signed English, which is,

"Do you want a banana or an apple?"

But in ASL, that same sentence would simply just be,

"Apple, banana, which?"

That's a really rudimentary example,

but a lot of things like that are very tricky

to sort of get the grammar and moving

things around into sentences.

This is Loni.

She's my tutor for ASL.

It's important that I have a tutor

because part of the grammar is your facial expressions,

so it really helps to have another person.

(bright music)

One of the first things I learned how to say is,

"How do you say?"

So I was trying my hardest to be able to communicate

only using sign.

It's been a little over 60 days since this whole endeavor

started, and I'm feeling really good about my progress.

I feel like I'm finally starting

to like put sentences together.

I'm getting really excited to start

actually speaking in ASL.

(bright music)

And now that I've had sort of a taste for it,

I'm really falling in love with the language.

I feel like this is something that's gonna bond us,

and it's going to make him understand

that sort of no matter what he needs,

he'll always be able to communicate with me.
