Day 1
The contestants meet each other at the airport. In the first
series no one knew what the purpose of their journey was. Now everybody knows
they have to find the Mole. Although they are at the airport, they leave with a
van. Hugo says in jest:"Our first challenge will be to rescue the
people in Kosovo!" Everybody laughs. Then Dominiek says he
thinks their first challenge will be a tandem sky dive. Hugo:"A
what?!" Dominiek:"A tandem sky dive."
They arrive at a military airport where they meet Michiel, the show's host.
He tells the contestants that their first challenge is... a tandem sky dive!
Everybody has to jump to win 100.000 BEF. Some of them are very nervous. Eef
is the first one to jump. When they land some of them find it great, Carine
is nausea. Then they count how many have landed. But there are only 8
contestants on the ground. And they can't see anyone in the sky. Two of them
still haven't jumped. It's David and Luc. Then Hugo says
that someone has already said too much. Everybody wants to know who. "Who
talked about a tandem sky dive this morning?" Dominiek:"I
did. But it was just a wild guess." Hugo:"Some guess if
you ask me." Finally they see the two last contestants falling from the
sky. They had to wait because there was too much wind. (Or was there?) First
challenge and already a succes! 100.000 BEF in the kitty.
They landed in France, but they still have to drive a long way to their next
destination: Crans-Montana in Switzerland. On their way they play games in the van and sing
songs. Then there is a stop to go to the toilet. Niki, Bart and
Hugo stay in the van. Then suddenly Niki says:"Can't we
arrange anything? Are you the Mole or is it you? If we know then we can be sure
of three people." Bart likes the idea. Hugo says Niki
is a cheater. "Can't we arrange anything with the three of us?"
says Bart. Then Luc walks in. Bart:"Or with the
four of us..." But they can't arrange anything, because the others are
already back.
Day 2
The next morning Michiel asks if everybody had slept well. Hugo:"It
seems that there have been some interruptions." Niki:"Interruptions
by telephone. It was someone who introduced himself as the Mole." Eef:"But
with a distorted voice." Niki and Eef were the only
contestants who had been called up by the Mole.
For their next challenge Michiel needs two natural leaders. The group decides to
take Hugo and Carine. They have to observe and lead the others
this day. Because the others have to do a trip in the mountains, where they have
to do three different challenges: a biathlon, an intelligence test and a ski
challenge. Hugo and Carine have to tell for how much money they
have to do those challenges. They can choose for 100.000 BEF,
50.000 BEF or 0 BEF. They can only choose each amount of money once.
They only win the money if they reach the cottage on top of the mountain before
7.00 p.m.
The contestants have reached the location where the biathlon takes place. The
leaders have decided that Dominiek and David have to do this, but
they want to stake 0 BEF for it. The leaders can see the others from a
distance. Carine:"I don't trust Dominiek." Dominiek and
David have to cycle 1 km to get two bullets. Then they have to cycle back
to try to shoot in the black part of a target. Dominiek goes first. He
gets the bullets and prepairs to shoot. He misses. But the second shot is in the
black part. Now it's David's part. He gets two bullets, but misses two
times, so he has to get new bullets. The fourth shot is a good one. But they
don't that they haven't won any money with it. It still was important to win the
challenge, because now they can go to the next destination with the
cable-railway instead of on foot. Of course they have to do a small part on
foot. On their way to the next challenge, the atmosphere is great. But they
don't need much to change that. Suddenly we see Marianne's sleeping bag
falling in the abyss. Marianne:"You fastened it to my backpack! I
didn't do it on purpose." Dominiek:"Inspection!"
Marianne:"Who sabotaged that?" Bart:"Didn't
you hitch it up?" Dominiek:"Yes I did."
The intelligence test: they have to get across a river with two boards and
some points of support (small tables in the river). The leaders decide to take Bart,
Luc and Marie-Rose for 100.000 BEF. Three of them can figure
out how to do it, but only two have them may actually do it. The boards are too
short to bridge the tables. So they have to find a solution for that. Carine
finds out how, but she can't help them. She tells Hugo that they have to
move one board up a little further. Then someone has to stand on the end of it
for extra weight and the other board can be placed on it. So the boards have to
overlap. Marianne also finds it out and tells the others. But the three
who have to do it, can't find the answer and they give up. No money won and they
have to do a detour to the next challenge. So far they succeeded in the first
challenge, but didn't win any money, and the second challenge failed. Moreover
they have to reach the cottage on top of the mountain before 7.00 p.m. to win
the money. And that can be very tough for some contestants...
Marie-Rose sits down to rest a while. It's 1.05 p.m. If a contestant
gives up, the group will lose 25.000 BEF. The group has a small discussion.
They encourage Marie-Rose to stop, because they see that she can't go on.
Finally she decides to give up. 25.000 BEF goes out of the kitty. Crying, Marie-Rose
gets in the car:"This is so humiliating..." But Carine and
Hugo are there to comfort her.
At 6.15 p.m., the leaders have arrived at the location of the next challenge.
But the others aren't there yet. They hear from Michiel that the group has given
up. So the challenge has failed.
First suspicions
MARIANNE
Niki:"That sleeping bag was tightened very well, but she was
wearing the backpack."
Flashback
Marianne:"I didn't do it on purpose." Dominiek:"Inspection!"
DOMINIEK
Luc:"I think he threw that sleeping back in the abyss."
Flashback
Bart:"Didn't you hitch it up?" Dominiek:"Yes I did."
Hugo:"Dominiek is the only one where I noticed
something."
Flashback
Dominiek:"Our first challenge will be a tandem sky dive."
BART
Marie-Rose:"At the river... I thought Bart would know the
solution."
Niki:"That challenge had to be a success. Definitely with
Bart, because he isn't stupid."
MARIE-ROSE
Bart:"She had the perfect motive to sabotage
everything."
Dominiek:"Why did she doubt so long? She really doubted for a
long time. And she asked us a lot, so she knows everything about us, but we
don't know a thing of her."
CARINE
Eef:"She's very self-assured. I do suspect her a
little."
Marianne:"She really tries to fit in. In the bus too, she was
engaged with everybody."
Five people still aren't suspected: Hugo, Niki, Eef, David and Luc
Day 3
They did their first confession. Here are some parts of them:
Marianne:"It's not very pleasant that people are beginning to
suspect each other. Some of them really don't mince their words about it."
David:"At the moment I'm lying to Bart to eliminate him and
to protect myself. This evening someone has to leave and I want to stay for a
while."
Bart:"I really don't know who the Mole is. But there are some
people who try to take me in their confidence. And that's pretty dangerous,
because one of them can be the Mole."
Their next challenge is for 100.000 BEF. They are in a room with ten panels with information about each contestant. They get 15 minutes to learn everything by heart. Then they have to choose 2 contestants who have a good memory. That's Eef and Niki. They have to get money of the bank with a card. But they don't know which bank, neither do they know the code of the card. They get 90 minutes to figure out the code and the location and to get the money. To figure out which bank it is, they have to give in the other contestants' names with the correct age in the computer. They see a card on the screen divided in 9 sections. Each time they have an age correct a section will disappear, till they have only one section left. That's the place where the bank is. They have the first two sections. But then they think Dominiek is 31. That's wrong. They can only re-do him once. When they have to type in Marie-Rose's age Niki says it's 45, but Eef doubts. Finally she decides to follow Niki. Luckily it's correct. Now they have to re-do Dominiek. They guess he's thirty and they're right. Now they have to find the code. They get a lot of calculations to find it out. The calculations are things like: number of Bart's house x the number of children of Marie-Rose. Niki:"Marianne has the same shoe size as me, 37." Eef:"I thought it was 38?" Niki:"38? OK, write 38." Eef:"I'm not sure." But she writes it anyway. But they don't know Bart's house number. They can get another contestant to help them, but that'll cost them 15 minutes. They get Bart. He also checks the answers Eef and Niki already wrote down. He changes Marianne's shoe size to 37. "She just told me at the table." But Bart doesn't know Luc's postal code either, so they ask Luc to help. But he can't even remember his own postal code. He has to think really hard and finally says it's 2100. They have a code: 2324. Eef, Niki and Bart try to find the bank. Luc stays to help them if it doesn't work, because they got a cell-phone. While running to the bank Niki asks the others to slow down, because she hurt her foot. They are in Switzerland, which means that there is a bank at every corner of the street. Finally they find it. They try the code, but it's wrong. Everything has to be checked again. They phone Luc. He doesn't know how the cell-phone works, so Michiel presses the right button for him. They're not sure of the number of Carine's brothers and sisters and about the number of addresses she has. They have 20 minutes left, so they decide to get her. Finally they see that the number of Carine's addresses was wrong. They have to substract 30 of the code they had. 2294 is supposed to be the correct code now. And it is! They win 100.000 BEF.
Suspicions
Eef:"Carine, yes, I do suspect her."
Carine:"I think David thinks it's me. He asked me
everything."
David:"Marianne, because she keeps herself at the background
and she doesn't say much."
Marie-Rose:"Hugo... he's different compared to yesterday. He
gives certain answers and questions that I think Hmm... he can be the
Mole."
Hugo:"For want of anything better I guess it's Dominiek. He
was talking about a sky dive although there were no signs of it."
Luc:"The Mole must be a woman, because they have the worst
nature."
Niki:"Marianne. She's the odd one out of the women, who
reacts in a strange way."
Bart:"I hope I'm not the first one to leave. After that it
wil be less worse, but I wouldn't like to be the first one."
Dominiek:"I would be very disappointed."
Carine:"I would find it regrettable, but I would be glad to
see my children again."
Suspicious for the
viewers:
Dominiek already knew the challenge they had to do.
Bart, Marie-Rose and Luc couldn't do the intelligence test.
Marie-Rose gave up, so 25.000 BEF got substracted.
Luc can't remember his own postal code at first, and he also seems to win
some time by not knowing how the cell-phone works.
Eef lets Niki doubt two times.
