16 strangers from all walks of life

are living in this iconic
London tower.

Some seized power...

Welcome to the penthouse.

..and are the Rulers at the top.
The rest have become Grafters...

Welcome to the bedrooms.

..living a life of hard work
in the basement...

What is that?
That's what you're going to eat.

..as they battle to win up
to £100,000.

Previously, team Moses took shape.

What we need to do
is form an alliance.



We've just got to stick together.

For the time being,

we can say that I am in
an alliance with Moses.

Loyalties were tested.

Why don't we all vote for James?
Let's do it!

What the fuck is going on?

And Connor's indecision
proved costly.

I'm going to take the risk
and revoke my decision.

I'm going to vote you, Marina.

You can't trust Connor right now.
100% get rid of Connor first.

100%. They've sent us up here
basically to get rid of you.

..and sparks flew in the red room.

Your indecisiveness could have cost
him his place.

I hoped I would see
a marked difference.



Regretfully, I didn't.

I don't do loud voices.

Tonight, penthouse tensions grow.

Let's just flip it
and all go for James.

Did you consider it?

No, I didn't.

His days are definitely numbered

and I think he knows that

because his tail is between
his legs.

The next Grafter will rise.

Does anyone know who wants
to put their hat in?

I do. I want to go up there.
And yourself, no?

So we're calling today

Operation Get Moses Out of
the Basement.

And a massive shock hits
the penthouse.

Choose one of the existing Rulers
to fall to the basement.

Oh...
Please, use your fucking brain.

The gap between the top and bottom

has never been closer.

This is Rise and Fall.

Elimination time.

Connor has two votes
and Cheryl has three.

With just one Ruler left,
it all comes down to Jack.

Jack's going to go for Cheryl.

He's going to go for Connor.

Jack voted for...

..Cheryl.

Oh, no.

Plot twist. Oh, my God.

Listen, you know it's nothing
personal whatsoever,

as all day it has been him in
my head.

But the way I've seen him today,

it's not him and I think I feel like
he's made one mistake up here

and he deserves another shot at it.

And I know for a fact
that you'd want me

to give him another shot
out of anyone else in here.

There's a reason why you're here.

I feel like you've carried yourself
with grace

the whole way through it. Thank you.

And no-one can say a bad word
about you. Thank you very much.

Cheryl has lost her power.

Cheryl must leave immediately.

I wish you all the luck
in the world, yeah?

In here, it is dog eat dog

and I've learned so much about
myself, about how strong I am,

how vocal I am.

I won't let no-one overpower me
in that sense.

I've stayed true to meself,

I've been loyal and it worked,

but my day was numbered

and it was today.
But I was the last woman standing,

and that says a lot to me.

To be honest,
that's an absolute scandal.

Absolute scandal.

There's no way that that guy
should be there.

I'm sorry, it just shouldn't happen

and the whole thing
has been complete, utter nonsense,

the whole thing.

Yeah. He changed his mind
to follow James.

Yeah, Sophie, you're right.
Here's Jack going a load of crap,

saying, "Oh, I think you need second
chances, second chances."

If you can't fucking hack it,
get out.

Connor made a really funny decision
the other evening

and put himself on the naughty list,

if you like.
Connor was out of his depth.

He should have gone from
the penthouse.

Cheryl could have easily gone
tomorrow or the next time, easily.

Connor, you've given him
a second chance now.

Now it's just all men.

I'm really hoping I can
go up this time,

because we've not got that much
time left any more.

I want...I want to go up next.

I actually
want to prove myself up there.

Oh, fuck me.

What a night.

Happy first full day. Yeah.

I sort of looked at it
and thought, do you know what,

I've seen a different side
to Cheryl than I've seen on all...

Yeah. ..the screens today.

You look like...

You look deflated, yeah. Yeah.

You know what? Yeah,
obviously, for me,

it's...I'm the last Ruler left.

She was there from the start.

It's hard for me not
to feel paranoid now.

I'm sitting there with Grafters,

who have formed such
strong relationships.

You have to have that
to get through tough times.

The basement is a tough time,
so, you know,

I do feel a bit, little bit like,
"Am I a sitting duck,

"are people going to be coming
for me?"

Obviously,
you'd be wrong not to be paranoid,

of course you would,
but like, at the end of the day,

I went with my heart over my head
cos I do see that there is more

for you to give. This is the kick up
the arse - well, it's more than

a kick up the arse -
because obviously,

you've took a fucking gamble.

I think, moving forward,
it's a learning curve.

I will always be grateful

for Jack saving my bacon tonight.

It's the right decision,

and he knows it's
the right decision.

As night falls,

the whole building feels quiet,

and that's not just
because Cheryl's gone.

Everyone's still processing
THAT vote.

I just wish Jack went for Connor.

Yeah. I-I wouldn't give a toss...
Guys, something happened,

like if
he just suddenly switched over.

I think there's been a reason.

Right lads, I'm going to get my head
down and get ready to...

Tomorrow is a new day. Yeah.
Chill tomorrow, hopefully, innit.

Right, night, lads. Goodnight.
Top man.

Thank you for today!

You owe me one.

I've gone in there,

told Connor that he's on thin ice

and I should really have gone
for him, to be fair,

but I know how much he
has to give back.

Listen, he might only
last another two days,

who knows?

But I'm in a good position
myself now,

a very good position.

I'm very strong in here.

We've fucking done it.

Look at us,
sitting in the penthouse, mate.

We were in bunk beds
fucking four days ago.

It's another day in
the nation's capital

and if I know new Grafter Ramona
like I think I know her,

she'll be up and raring to go.

ALARM BLARES

Seriously?

Good morning.

How the fuck is anyone
so chilled with this alarm?

OK, maybe she needs another ten.

Moses, do you still fancy Rachel?

Oh, shut up!

I told you guys, she fancies me.

It's definitely the other way round.
It's not my end.

Attention please.

Tonight, there will be a rise vote.

The Grafter who rises
to become a Ruler

will be immune from
the next elimination.

Does anyone know who wants
to put their hat in yet?

I do. And Sydney.

Yeah, I want to go up.

And yourself, no?

Yeah, I mean... Yeah, I did.

I did want to put my name forward.

So last night, I really wanted to
rise but I'm not sure.

I'm in here to win the money
for my little boy.

I hope he'll be proud of me
because, obviously,

when you're a dad,
you want to make your kids proud.

You know,
family is very important to me.

So there's just me, you and Sydney.

So, we're calling today,

Operation Get Moses Out of
the Basement.

I'm a bit worried about
Sydney going up.

Because if the alliance just gets
a bit stronger

with Jack and Connor and James

and it just kind
of puts everyone else down here

at risk of going up there

and immediately getting evicted.

So who do you reckon they'll send?

I think Sydney and Eddy are...

I don't think Syd will come up.

They've sent her up already once,

so I feel like they might be,
like, well, hang on,

she lost to Jeff
so they obviously don't respect...

Not in a bad way,
not in a bad way whatsoever.

Yeah. But, I feel like there's other
people in there that are

going to be like, well, yeah,
I want to give it a go now, then.

There's not one person down
there in that basement,

that will not want to come up
and give it a go at some point.

Mm. People are going to
want to start coming up now

cos their time
is limited to come up.

I think maybe Moses will try
and come up tonight.

Obviously, I want Sydney to come up.

Cuddling a pillow is not the same.

It's a bit boring, innit,
cuddling a pillow?

Jack is all about the pillow talk,

but after unintentionally
eavesdropping

on Connor, Cheryl and Matt
last night,

talk of a far less cuddly kind
is on James' mind.

I came down, I could hear you
talking and laughing and I...

Did you start to kind of stand there
and listen?

No, I went into the, into the...

..into the changing room

and I could hear you all just
chatting really loudly

so I was sat there and I was like,
"What the fuck?"

No. Not any more.

I overhear a conversation between
Cheryl, Matt and Connor,

all three of them
going to vote for me

and he's told me to use my head
and not my heart,

which I did to keep him.

I'm just excited
to talk about that to Matt

to see where his head's at
because, right now,

I've every right to ask,

and that's exactly what I'm
going to do.

While James calmly
plots his next move

to gently talk to Matt,
down in the basement,

the girls are discussing slightly
more strong-arm tactics.

If you're going up,
please remove Matt.

Yeah, no, I think the same.
Like, you have to understand,

this guy has been there for
the last nine days.

Like, he needs gone.
Matt's the worst one.

Yeah. I feel like
the trust thing is a big thing.

How does he keep talking

and no-one's even fucking
removing him?

People believe him
when they speak to him.

That's what I'm more worried about.

If I don't get rid of Matt first,

someone else is going to come up
next

and be like,
"No, Matt's actually OK,"

and change their minds. Yeah,
you need to get rid of Matt first.

Yeah, I think so as well, 100% Matt.

Today with the voting process,

I believe Sydney should go up.

There's enough men up there.

How many balls
can that red room handle?

You need a female prospective,

So, yeah, definitely Sydney.

Who do you reckon is
going to come up, then?

Syd and someone else, I think.

Moses very much wants to come up.
I must tell you,

I do like him. I like him as a...
He's very dominating.

He won't come up here and blend in.

Like, he'll come up here and fucking
like try and rule the roost.

If there's one person I would pick

to come up here that had strength,
character and guts,

beam me up Moses, and quick.

Question, with Cheryl,

did she do anything to try
and save her neck?

Yeah, James overheard
a conversation.

Saying what?

"Flip the coin and all three
of you go for me."

She was like, "Let's just flip it,

"let's just flip it
and all go for James."

Did you consider it? No, I didn't.

I definitely didn't.
I said, I can't do that to someone.

I've already fucked up once
and I'm not going to...

Fuck it up again.
..turn it on James.

I wouldn't, that's not in my nature.

I think you knew I heard it
because I wasn't...

You didn't know I was downstairs.
No. I was in the beauty room.

Oh, you heard it yourself?

Yeah, yeah, yeah. Fucking hell.

I knew you did... And you walked
past and looked and I thought,

"I know he's just heard me
say that."

RAIN PATTERS

The rain out there.

Matt seems to be laughing this off
like he thinks I'm stupid.

His days are definitely numbered

and I think he knows that because
his tail is between his legs.

He should be really worried,
because one more slip up

and that's Matt gone.

For Grafters, the gym -

and by gym I mean
two rowing machines -

is a sanctuary from the plotting
for tonight's rise vote

and, as we all know,

the gym is also where real
talk happens.

What is it like at boarding school,
is it tough?

It's tough,
especially the one I went to.

How old were you? Nine years old.

Wow, you've been at boarding school
all your life, really? Yeah.

Don't get me wrong, like, you
do have amazing opportunities there

but, like, the shit kicking
out of you... Yeah. ..is constant.

It was a fucking sadistic place
at times.

There's a thing there
called hierarchy

and you're always the bitch of
the year above you.

I guess that kind
of makes resilience, though...

..of what I am today.

The preconception is that I'm
a toff toss-pot,

which isn't the case.

There have been so many times
in the basement,

where I've fallen on past
experiences of tough situations

and you go, "Well, if I can do that,
then this is a doddle."

Huh, back to you, then, Moses.

I find it weird that
I was never really taught

to say certain sentimental words
like, I love you. Yeah.

And, I didn't grow up like that
and it's a bit weird

because obviously, it affected me

when I was getting
into relationships at the start

and it was a bit hard to.
To be affectionate.

Yeah, to be affectionate.
And cos when I see you guys like,

not you guys but some people
just like crying.

Or like saying "I love you,

"I'm going to miss you."

And like, I feel it as well
but I can't... Express it.

You're not used to expressing it.
Yeah, I can't express it.

I think a lot of people tend
to confuse my confidence

as like being cocky and so on
and so forth,

but I'm a soft boy at heart.

I mean, I guess
I'm just starting to warm up

and I'm actually getting very,
very used to the people down here.

A lot is changing about me
and I'm learning a lot.

Like I'm really,
really learning a lot.

Aw, that was nice, wasn't it?

What do you reckon, Rulers -

shall we have a go at a nice chat?

Did you say you can't cook?

I can fucking cook, thank you.

How dare...
Why is he at you like that?

Don't... I know, I'm...

Attention please.

Oh, here we go.

Would two Rulers head to
the red room

for a test of their
leadership skills?

I'll come with you. Oh, whoa, whoa,
whoa, whoa, whoa, whoa.

Hang on, hang on,
let's just deliberate a minute.

Who wants to go? I feel like
potentially the two of us should go.

I think you need to go
and prove yourself.

Absolutely, I'm happy to go.

And I'd like to give it a go -
I've never done it.

I'm happy for you boys, yeah. This
overtime means a lot to me today.

I need to prove myself,
I need to prove that I can lead,

I can make the right decision.

Come on, Jamesie boy.

This is a really pivotal moment
in my game,

in my game-plan to prove to myself
that I should stay as a leader

for as long as I possibly can.

Oh, my God,
it's a choux pastry tree.

They're profiteroles.
Oh, God. Oh, God.

Attention, please.

Rulers, the prize fund currently
stands at £44,000.

Would one Ruler read from
the tablet?

You can do it.

"Rulers, today Grafters will be
working overtime,

"making profiteroles
in a two-hour time slot.

"They must whisk
and pipe cream into the pastry

"and create a chocolate sauce
to dip them in.

"You will each be responsible
for managing

"a team of two Grafters

"and setting the target
they have to reach.

"The Ruler whose team successfully
fulfils the highest target, wins."

Mm-hm. "£20 will be added to
the prize pot for every profiterole

"the winning team produces."

SIGHS: How are you feeling?

I'm feeling a little bit confident.
Same.

"You must now set your target

"but must not discuss
with your fellow Ruler beforehand."

It's weird going head-to-head
with James.

There will be a part of me that will
be pleased if his team lose

because, at the end of the day,
I was in the firing line last night

and it may take the pressure off me
if my team win the money.

Connor has set a target
of 180 profiteroles,

which would earn £3,600.

James has set a target

of 450 profiteroles,

which would earn £9,000.

Wow, that's such a difference!

It's a little bit safe,
but I didn't play it too safe.

Connor's target,
I'm really disappointed.

This is his chance now
to prove himself as a leader.

I'm surprised at
the number he chose.

The fact he's chosen lower

is a mistake he's
going to have to ride out

on the next red room, if I'm honest.

There we are. TV. Let's have a look.

Grafters, today there is a chance
to earn more money

to the prize fund
by working overtime.

You will be going head-to-head
in two teams of two.

The teams will be producing
profiteroles.

I chose Eddy and Sophie.

Love you, Ed.

And I have set a target of
180 profiteroles.

That will earn £3,600
to the prize fund.

That sounds doable.

And I've chosen Moses and Sydney
to come work for me. Yay!

And I've set a target
of 450 profiteroles.

Oh, my God!

And this will add £9,000
to the prize fund.

I'm not a baker.

If a team fails to hit their target,
they will bank nothing.

All you'll be doing is dipping
and putting cream in

and then they're gone.
Yeah, exactly.

I've never had
a profiterole before.

It's a lot of profiteroles.
450 profiteroles.

For 9,000 quid. £9,000.

If he doesn't hit the 450,
then we don't get anything.

That's when you've got
to be really careful.

That does feel quite high.
I feel just keep an eye on Connor

because if he doesn't achieve it,
I think he's... He's fucked.

I feel Connor's just played it
safe to try and gain people's trust

but it could backfire
if James beats him.

It could backfire on him badly.

Oh, my God, they look so good.

It's Moses and Sydney versus
Eddy and Sophie,

hoping to turn those profiteroles
into profit-eroles.

I really just want
a little chocolate nibble.

The quicker we finish, mate, we're
going to sit and eat them all.

I hope there's people up there
that can see my hard work.

It's very important for me
to rise today.

Attention, please.
Your work shift begins now.

Get that cream on.

I'm always trying to give 110%
in everything that I do.

The most depressing thing
is that I hate cream.

A Devon boy that hates cream
is a bit weird, but I do.

HE GROANS

Dip it, dip it, dip it.

Yeah? Yeah. And that's just one.
Yeah.

What's your target? 180.

180.

I think the target's way too high.

Not ours, but theirs.
Ours is going to be doable.

Just over 15 minutes done.

How many have yous done, guys?

I don't know. Is it going up now?

One, two...eight. This is ten.

128? No, we've literally
just started.

If you think that production line
is the height of activity,

wait to you see what the rest of
the Grafters are up to.

Calm down, guys!

SNORING

It's the vote up tonight.

Yeah. Who are you thinking?

I do want to go up there... Yeah.
..because it's the game. Yeah.

But I don't know, if I go up with
Sydney and then come back down,

will I be...? I'll be all right.

Probably be a bit deflated.

The Rise vote is getting
really close.

I'm actually quite scared
about going to the penthouse,

now I've grown such bonds
and seen how people are happy

with just the bare essentials
to live.

It's people around you
that make life better.

Ah, shit.

Ah, shit! Here we go again.
Here we go again.

Here we go again.

101, yeah. 101, yeah?
Yeah, yeah. OK.

So then, if Connor's gone really
low, that's got to be

the final nail in the coffin,
surely? Yeah.

Sophie's ripping me apart,

saying that this is the nail in
the coffin now. For you? Yeah.

She's not up here. Yeah.

I've obviously underestimated
them a little bit.

See, it's not nice to hear them,
you know, bad-mouthing me,

but they're not up here,

they don't understand the pressure
of making these decisions.

So, basically, this is his chance
to redeem himself, I suppose, innit?

What are we on now?
Er, we are on 91.

Maybe I should have gone up to 280.

I don't know how long it takes.

I underestimated them,
and it's my mistake.

Ooh...

Yeah! Boom!

Have you guys finished, yeah?
Yeah, that was good.

Well done, guys. Look how good
they are, it looks great.

We're smashing it.

Connor 100% made the wrong decision.

I mean, the target
was unbelievably low.

We could have won more money.

Just because I chose
the lesser option does

not make me a weaker leader, it
just, you know...

I'm just trying
to make sure they do get the money.

Come on, guys, you can do it.

Attention, please.
One hour remaining.

Phew, this is so stressful.

Upstairs, Jeff is about to have
his mind blown,

and Matt might be about
to regret blowing it for him.

I do miss sitting down just reading
a book. Do you? Or something.

There's books there, Jeff.
With nothing in them!

No, they've got pages. They're real
books, I've checked. Shut up.

Yeah. I thought they were fake
books! No, they're real books.

They are! Oh, my God!

Yeah. Go on, then,
test me on some names.

Go on, then.

Neil Kinnock.

Neil Kinnock was a Welsh MP in
the late 20th century. Yes or no?

He was a British Labour politician,
so, yeah, well done.

Talking of labour,
with 50 minutes to go,

Moses and Sydney are still
grafting

as they aim to hit
their 450 profiterole quota

and add a mouth-watering nine grand
to the prize fund.

Come on, come on, come on,
come on, methodical, methodical.

Keep going,
OK, you're doing so, so good.

All right, got you.

At least you went higher
and not 180. That's just piss-poor.

Sophie, stop it.

It's true, though.

We've got to make some money.
I'm on a roll - literally!

All done, last two.

All done but two. You done?

Yeah!

Whoo! Well done!

Oh, for fuck's sake!

I can't believe we've just made
£9,000,

and I went head-to-head
with a fellow Ruler,

and we smashed it out the park.

Fuck you guys.

THEY GIGGLE

I mean, of course I was involved
in a team that hit the target again.

Me and Sydney absolutely
killed this,

we've got everyone £9,000.
It's just... it's crazy.

Oh, my God!

THEY SHRIEK

I'm sorry, guys, I got too excited.

Sydney!

Oh, what are they like, eh?

Well, with a total of nine grand
for the prize fund,

they're like absolute
legends, actually,

and sweet news isn't the only thing

they're bringing back
to the basement.

Oh, you fucker.

Honeys, we're home.

Hooray. What the fuck?!

What's wrong? What's up?
Why are you so messy?

What, have I got something on me,
like...? What do you mean?

THEY LAUGH

Oh, my God!

Yes!

Oh, you're not allowed
to do that, are you?

We made it nice
on top of the fact we won 9,000.

THEY CHEER

Guys, it basically means now that
the prize fund is over 50 grand,

so we're halfway there now, so...

That was so easy. We could have...

Honestly, we could have done 1,000.
We could have done 1,000.

Hello. What's happening?

He done it. Who did it?

I got 9K.

Fuck off.

So he got the 9K.

I could not be happier
with how well

Moses and Sydney have smashed it.
It's amazing for them

but it's also amazing
for me as well.

I should have gone higher.
My defence was,

if I'd have gone too high

and fucked that,
then my place was gone.

It was almost a lose-lose for you.
Yeah. I don't know why you went.

I'm not here to defend myself.

One of us was going to lose
but can you imagine, like,

if I went high as well
and we both didn't win anything.

Connor's obviously one
of my closet pals in here.

I'd probably say,
in terms of ruling,

he's probably the weakest in here.

I need people that are going to be
able to build the prize fund up.

James has made you look bad, really,
ain't he? Yeah, 100%.

It's evening in the capital
and with the Rise vote incoming,

some of the Grafters are doing

everything to keep their minds
off it.

Hooray! Go on, go on,
you've got this.

Oh-ah. Great work.

While those lads celebrate...
whatever that was,

Sydney and Ramona are just
a little more focused.

Let's say you are selected,
then it will be you,

it will be James,
it will be Jeff, Connor and Matt.

The first thing you're going to do
is speak to James and Jack.

Yeah. I want Matt out.

And get Matt out and, erm,
you'll have to speak to Jeff,

you need to really bond with Jeff.
Yeah. Have you bonded with Jeff?

Jeff does like me, yeah.

Keep me in your minds, guys,
cos the second Matt's out,

I'm open,
I'm available for you guys.

Yeah, yeah, yeah,
I'll try, try again.

If not... Fuck it, I'll try again.

THEY LAUGH

I think I want to rise tonight.

I think Ramona has
a lot of faith in me.

I respect her so much.
She's so motivational,

she's very positive and right now,

the girls need to sort
of stick together

and push each other up
in into being a Ruler.

I think the only people
I can trust down here from now.

Are obviously you and Sophie.

The only person I can trust
up there is Jeff,

and if I was to go there, at least
that's a guaranteed vote. Yeah.

I think it's really, really
important for me to rise today,

just so I can not just eliminate
the alliances

that are being,
you know, formed up there,

but to also somehow form my own,
so I'm good towards the finals.

I wouldn't mind going up
with Rossi. Yeah.

They're not going to pick Rossi over
me, they're not going to do that.

Yeah. Cos I already have
Jeff up there anyway. Yeah, yeah.

The game plan is to vote for Moses

and we'll see where it goes
from there,

so if Moses does rise to the top,

Moses will obviously bring me in.
Also, I can bring Sophie.

Have you guys had
a conversation about, like,

obviously if you and Jack obviously
become boyfriend/girlfriend

and stuff?
Hold on, did you say Jack?

Yeah, cos they could potentially
blossom into something.

Yeah, we became close.
What did you do?

Did you not see...?
Guys, you need to fill me in.

Me and Jack are very close.

Oh, yeah, cos she hasn't been here!

What the fuck is going on?
I thought you knew this.

Basically, Jack and Sydney
are an item.

I thought you heard it yesterday.
No, no, no, no, no.

I thought she knew,
I thought you knew.

No-one tells me shit
in this bloody house.

Jack and Sydney are a thing!
Who would have known?

So the fact I found that out,
bonus, ding-a-ling-a-ling.

Them two together in that penthouse
is a perfect alliance for me.

Hey, do you
want to go up tonight, Eddy?

Er, no, no, no, no, no. Do you?

If I go up with Sydney,

I think Sydney will get picked,
so I'll be down anyway.

Yes. But...

But I would like to see it up there.

If you go up with Sydney,

the worst thing that happens
is that...Sydney stays up.

Yeah. Does that make sense?

Best scenario for you and I
is that you stay up.

So in a way,
you could look at it as a win-win.

Got it. You know?

Yeah. I want to try a bit
of penthouse life.

I'm sure I would make a great Ruler

but I think it's more dog eat dog up
there, and that's what scares me.

Attention, please.

Lift's going.

Grafters, it is time to vote.

You cannot vote for yourself.

I want to win, so I'm going to be
voting for Sydney,

so I can bring my alliance,
my partnership.

Game plan time.

I fully trust Rossi
up in the penthouse

as I can guarantee,
when it's my time to rise,

that he would have my back.

At the moment, it's just original
grafters going up,

and to be honest with you,
it's pissing me off.

Today might be the day that
I give myself the full-on chance

to go up there,
and if I am up there,

I do have Jeff as an ally.

It's very important
to have at least one ally up there.

Me and Sydney are like sisters

and I know that she really
wants to go up,

but I had to go with Moses

because the alliance has meant
I could stay in the game.

All votes are locked.

We need to really think carefully
about who's going to come up

and what... They can bring.

And how they're going to
change the dynamics

because it might not change it
for the positive.

And that's the difficulty -

when you're up here you rely
on the Grafters,

and that's why I think my days
are numbered here,

cos I've got less and less
to provide. I know.

I think you're doing
a really good job.

You know, I'm the one making
the errors.

James, Jack and Connor are...
They're a trio, they're an alliance.

Whoever comes up and is lobbying,

I can't do anything to influence
the others' decisions.

I've managed to sort of break
and split people before

but this one's too strong,
this one really is.

Attention, please.

The results of the rise vote are...

Good luck, everyone. God, I feel
like I have actually no idea

on this one.
I have no idea at all.

..Isaak received one vote.

Rossi and Sydney received...

..two votes each.

Moses received...

..three votes.

Moses, as you received
the most votes,

you must now decide whether
Sydney or Rossi will join you.

Oh, my God.
HE SIGHS

James, Jack, Connor, I have a
relationship with both of you guys,

a strong one, erm, and, er...

..Sydney, I know you want it badly.
Yeah. So badly.

If I was to go with you, Sydney,

it's a big risk for me
not getting picked,

just because of your relationship
with James and Jack. Yeah.

Ross, you're similar to me.
Mm-hm. You've not had a chance.

And I am a fair guy.
If we do go up there

and either of us gets picked,
it's a fair game.

The Grafter I'm going to go
up to the penthouse today

is going to be...

..you, Ross, and I'm very sorry.
No, no, it's OK,

I respect your decision.
I hate the fact that I had to

pick someone out.
You had to pick somebody.

I've got my plan and my strategy.
I've got everything ready

to go up to the penthouse
and retain up there.

It's going to be great.
Oh, I'm so excited.

Good luck, OK?

Yeah, no, I'm gutted. I feel numb.

It's fucked my chances.

How yous feeling? Nervous? I'll be
honest, I'm actually nervous.

I'm acting cool.
Whatever I have to do,

you're going up next,
whoever I need to speak to.

I don't think I'll get another
chance to go up next.

Everyone sees me and Jack
as a threat together.

People in the basement
won't want me up there

because they know
that'll fuck their chances,

being that strong, so they're like,

"Why the fuck would we put
Sydney up there

"if she's literally just going to be
a competition?"

There's still time.
No. All my allies are now upstairs,

so I'm not going to
get voted to go up.

Yeah. Mm!

I'll give Jack a big hug. Hey!

It's evening, and the lads
are very slowly getting ready

to welcome another pair of Grafters
to the penthouse.

# I am a giant

# Stand upon my shoulders

# Tell me what you see... #

Attention, please.
Would Moses and Rossi...

Come on, guys. ..enter the lift
immediately? I'll see you soon.

Integrity, honesty.
Do whatever's right.

Good luck, guys. Good luck!

Oh, mate.

# I am, I am, I am
I am, I am, I am a giant... #

Moses will be the nightmare
to step out of that lift tonight.

Nothing wrong with the geezer,
a lovely bloke,

but he's very headstrong and he
could upset the applecart up here.

And we've got a sort of game plan
now, so I hope it's not him.

Two Grafters rise,

but only one can stay
and become a Ruler.

I'm excited, obviously,
and I said from the start

I want to start at the bottom,
and I'm working my way up.

I've worked hard
to get up to the penthouse

and I'm determined to stay.

My plans are starting
to get in places!

My strategy is to speak
to those that I'm not sure about,

who I may need to get on my side
as soon as possible.

I think whoever comes up here...

Just needs to fit
in the equilibrium.

Attention, please.

Oh...!

# It was you who told me living is

# Togetherness, togetherness
togetherness... #

# I came here to win
My start is your in

# Now let me begin now... #

The Rulers are ready and waiting
to find out which pair of Grafters

are about to petition the penthouse.

Oh, sugar lumps!

# Get, get, get loud for me

# Get, get, get loud for me... #

Rossi and Moses!

Hello! Nice to meet you. You too.

Nice to see you again.

# Get, get loud for me... #

Thank goodness he's up here.

It made me very, very happy
to see Moses,

far, far happier
than to have seen Rossi.

How is everyone? There's a lot going
on down there, but everyone's good.

Lift doors opened, Rossi and Moses
leave the lift.

Bit gutted it weren't Sydney,
but it's very bittersweet,

because, obviously, Rossi was
my best pal down there.

I know I pissed you all off
with my decision.

I mean, to be fair, it's...
it's everybody down there.

Do you know what I'm trying to say?
Yeah. It's a collective of people

that feel a type of way.
Boy, it's crazy up here.

Like down here, the intensity,
Moses. Yeah. I can tell.

Is all of this...?
So, if you're successful,

this would be your bedroom.
Wow. Wow.

I'm really, really speechless.

In comparison to the basement,
this is something else.

When you're up here, it's
a different ball game. You can tell.

You're, like, sat here
and everyone's round that table

and it's like, where do you start?
I'll be real with you,

you have nothing to worry about.
Yeah.

And that's hands on heart. With me,
you have nothing to worry about.

This is not my way
of pitching myself to you,

I'm just here on a neutral thing,
I'm not in alliance with anybody.

The only person I'm close with
is Jeff, really and truly.

That's about it, so...
How you doing, Rossi?

I'm good, mate.
It's nice to see you in person.

You're like the glueing down there,
like when I left. When you left,

the morale fucking hit rock bottom.
I was so upset

because you're the type of guy who
brings it all up.

You're such a tight knit down there

and you'll do anything
for each other.

And I love that, and I respect that.
It's an amazing experience, this.

I said I wanted to work
from the bottom

and get a chance to come up.

This place, obviously, up here,
there's pressures,

but if I can do stuff down there
which I didn't think I could do,

phew, you can put your mind
to anything.

Rossi will probably
sit with Jack, you know,

they've got a good relationship,
they know each other down there.

But, you know,
Rossi doesn't know me.

I'm hoping he trusts me in my
position as a Ruler and what I say.

I don't know if you guys were
shocked

or if you guys thought I was
going to come up.

I could guess from seeing you during
the shift today

that you were potentially coming up.
It's weird,

I've got my jokes downstairs
today to go up.

Everyone was just so adamant.
"Moses, you've pushed us so much,

"you've done this, you deserve it,
you have to go."

For me, I was really, really adamant
I was coming up here,

because I have zero alliances up
here, I don't know most of you guys.

Even you guys... The only person
I really got along with was Jeff.

The current Rulers right now
are very, very hard to read.

I think everyone has
a poker face.

It's a really, really tough
vibe up here.

Attention, please.

Guys! Here we go.

All Rulers report to
the red room immediately.

Good to see you both.
Send Syd my love, yeah?

Yeah, man.
Good to see you. Top man.

Lovely seeing you. I've come
this far, I've grafted so much.

I really, really now badly want
to be in the penthouse.

Rossi was my boy down there,
he's one of my closest here,

so I'm going to be fighting
to keep him up here, 100%.

Rossi I've always seen
as the class clown.

Moses, I need him up here
to keep me sane.

The time has come.

The Rulers must now decide who
will join them in the penthouse.

I'll start with Rossi.
I see the way he worked

and I see the way he was
with the Grafters.

I mean, when I was down there,

he is like the backbone down there,
on the jokey sort of side,

the same sort of side
that I brought down there.

I feel like he does lead with
his heart a lot.

Moses, on the other hand,

he is very headstrong
and he knows what he wants.

He's not going to come up here
and sort of sit in the background.

He's going to come up here
and give it.

He's got a presence about him,
hasn't he?

He says he knows what
the Grafters definitely need.

Er, I'm sort of struggling
with some other positive things

to say, to be completely honest.

I think at the moment, myself,
James and Jack

are an alliance
and the other two

are kind of lone rangers,
Matt and Jeff.

There's a lot of trust there
in Rossi. He says it how it is,

good and bad, and he does everything
with compassion,

and I think that's what we need -
someone who's compassionate.

And he listens. Like, he will
take on advice, he will take on...

And he is a good laugh,
at the end of the day.

Like, he's really good to lift
the morale when decisions are hard,

and you need that.
I want Rossi to stay.

Jack is the most powerful
in the penthouse.

He's a natural leader,
you know, Jack.

You know, James and Connor
are sheep,

they follow what Jack
says the others will do.

Who do you want to stay?

Er, Rossi to stay.

This is fucking crazy, innit?
It just feels weird. Yeah.

What I was saying downstairs,

my main thing was seeing
what this was about.

It's just like two
different worlds, isn't it? It is.

Moses, he's intelligent,

he's got an amazingly old head
on young shoulders.

Moses brings an element of strength

and clarity of thinking.

Jack is going to put Rossi
firmly under his wing,

and he'll do anything
that Jack wants him to do.

And that's all there is to it
with Rossi.

He can't be a leader.

When I was speaking to Moses,

it felt like there was
some sort of barrier there.

It felt a little bit disconnected

and it just didn't feel
sort of natural.

It sounds so manipulative,

but you identify who has
the most power, get them on board.

It's a strategy.
It'll hopefully keep me

in the penthouse
for another three days.

With Rossi, it felt quite natural,
it just felt nicer.

My decision has been made.

Attention, Rulers. Please submit
your collective decision.

Jack.

Rossi and Moses,
we have thought long and hard,

but the Grafter
that will rise to power

and join us in the penthouse
as a Ruler is...

..Rossi.

Makes sense. Shit, man. Yeah.

Like, my heart was racing so much.

Even just a taste of the penthouse,
I just wanted to stay.

Ohhh!

HE GROANS

Like I say, I did tell you
I didn't want to go against you.

It was just worth the fight,
for me it was just...

It is what it is.

Attention, please.

Rossi is now a Ruler.

Rulers wield absolute power
and must make tough decisions.

Rossi now has the power
to make Moses a Ruler, too...

..but to do so...

..Rossi will have to make space
in the penthouse...

Fuck's sake!

..by choosing
one of the existing Rulers

to fall to the basement
and become a Grafter.

No way!

Please don't fucking do that.
So he has a choice.

If Rossi chooses
not to make Moses a Ruler,

Moses will return to the basement.

Rossi, use your fucking brain.
Yeah. Please use your fucking brain.

Fuck...

Do you know what you're going to do?

Shit.

But no-one wants to go from here.
Putting me down there, honestly,

I'd do it just because
I love everyone down there.

But I don't want to feel like I'm
just being sent down there to work,

because I have worked.
You have worked.

I want to stay. I want to stay.
You can get rid of whoever you want.

Rossi has to save me.

He just has to save me.

Like, I was part of the reason
why he's here.

If he comes up, they're both immune.

But that makes one of our chances
huge tomorrow to go.

I really hope Rossi goes with
his head.

He needs to focus on the fact that
Moses would be more beneficial

with the Grafters.

We can't have both of them up here.
No. The basement's fucked.

Oh, God!

Rossi must make his decision now.

OK, erm...

It's a very tough decision to make.

Yeah, very, very mixed emotions
at the moment.

Oh, Rossi!

I literally feel sick.

Attention, please.

Rulers, return to the penthouse.

Yes! Good man.
Get in there. Love that, Rossi!

We'll still remove him, anyway.

What's good, guys?

Open the lift, Moses sitting down.

Pshew! Didn't, like... Massive,
massive spanner in the works.

So, I've had to make a decision,
and I've chosen...

..Moses to become a Ruler.

That means I've had to
choose a Ruler to fall.

So who is it, then, bruv?
What the fuck!

Moses is the wrong person
to be up here.

I wish Rossi thought with his head.

He's rocked the boat.
The alliance was going strong,

we had the idea who was going to go,

and right now,
he's fucked our plans up.
