16 strangers from all walks of life

are living in this
iconic London tower.

This programme contains strong
language

Some seized power
and are the Rulers at the top...

..the rest were sent
to the basement.

LIFT: Lift falling.

..living a life of hard labour
as Grafters...

Ah! Oh.

..and they're all battling
to win up to £100,000.

Previously,

two new Rulers
stormed the penthouse.



The Grafter that will rise
to power is Rossi.

They've chosen Moses
to become a Ruler.

The Ruler who I've chosen
to become a Grafter is Matt.

And Moses' power grew stronger.

I'm going to vote for James today.

James will go and Connor
will be next.

He's going to try
and run the roost.

He'd happily chuck anyone under
the bus to save himself.

Please don't let anyone down.

ANNOUNCER: Moses and Rossi must
now decide who will be eliminated.

Tonight, requests denied.

A video call.

Sea salt.

To have one-on-one time with Rossi.



We have to decline the request.

The next Grafter will rise.

Raise your hand,
if you want to rise tonight.

OK, guys, I've decided,
I want to go up.

And there's a bloodbath
in the Red Room.

We haven't come to a decision.

I'm not going to change my mind.

If I make a decision, I stand by it.

ANNOUNCER: For every further minute
without a majority decision,

£1,000 will be deducted
from the prize fund.

What!

Everything's gone,
every fucking pound.

The gap between the top
and bottom has never been closer.

This is Rise and Fall.

The Red Room is in deadlock.

All votes have been cast

and James and Jeff
are tied with three votes each.

It's down to Rossi and Moses
to decide who will be eliminated.

ANNOUNCER: If you cannot make your
decision,

both James and Jeff
will be eliminated.

EXHALES

It's a difficult decision,
but James, I think,

has brought more to the table
since he's been up here

and he's here for a reason,
for this amount of time.

Jeff, the last comment he made,
it just shows that,

he's not the person
I thought he was.

It's upsetting.

I've never heard my dad,

as a boss, call anyone thick.

You don't do that.

Jeff, and I'll tell you this in
front of everybody,

having arguments on this table
about personal things

is absolutely, absolutely
the wrong thing to do,

but for me, that's a whole different
conversation.

He can get spoken to at another
time.

The main thing about this table is

who we believe is the weakest Leader

and I can't allow myself
to keep changing my mind.

That's James.

I had a feeling it was
going to be a tie-break.

I don't intend on changing my
mind because if I mess up

and I let Jeff go
and I keep James,

I'm in big trouble next time,
I'm definitely out next.

ANNOUNCER: Rossi and Moses,

it's time to make
your final decision.

I stick with my
decision as Jeff going.

And I also stick
with my decision as James going.

ANNOUNCER: New Rulers, Moses and
Rossi,

have not been able
to make a decision,

therefore James and Jeff
have been eliminated.

Oh, shoot.

Oh, my God!

You've made a fucking mistake.
I'm sorry,

if you think this is going to,

you've made an awful mistake.

I've kept true to the Grafters,

I've kept true to everybody

and everything I've done,
I'm so proud of.

See you later, bruv.

I don't quite know how,
how to feel about it,

to be quite honest.

It's just gut-wrenching
and soul destroying.

Up to this point, I did everything
as right as I thought I could.

Me going right now is
an absolutely huge mistake.

That's Jamesie-boy,
over and out I guess.

I've enjoyed every day
of this experience.

I think that you're all going
to go on to do greater things.

God bless.

Talk about going out with a bang.

I actually didn't
see that one coming.

I'm proud of what I've done.
I did it purposely.

I have no regrets in the least.

James should be in that
competition, without a doubt. Yeah.

It's bullshit,
the whole thing is bullshit.

He can leave here knowing
he done all he could do.

He can leave with
his head held high.

Because Moses has went up there,
trying to play the game

and trying to get the
strongest leader out,

that's why James has went.

Home sweet home.

EXHALES

That took a turn.

Jeff decided that he's
going to blow himself up in there.

He absolutely hit
the self-destruct button.

You're very lucky
because I had to go for Jeff.

JACK: Well, I could not, bruv.

He made me so angry up there.

Not even once was he cross
my mind this week.

It would have been him. Fact.

Yes, yes,
Jeff would have still been here.

I'm feeling relieved.

I've made it through this Red Room
because of Moses.

Working alongside each other,
it paid off.

I suppose it's the good saying of

"don't hate the player,
hate the game."

What do you think?

No-one's focused on the leadership

and the direction of making
or increasing that prize fund.

Everyone is just focused on
fucking hurting each other.

I don't know why.

Moses and Rossi couldn't
even align on a decision.

It's shocking.

It clearly shows every man
to themselves in that Red Room.

I don't think you should just be
voting people out just

because you think they're
a competition to you.

The worst,
weakest person should go.

Yeah, yeah, yeah.

Cool. Did you enjoy your
first Red Room?

I hate... I hated it. Why?

I thought we was going to be

the ones to be peaceful
and just boom.

I've got rid of two people today.

Connor owes me one.
He owes me a big,

big favour for keeping him
in this game.

It's a new day in London

and with BFFs Jeff and James probably
already planning a lad's holiday,

the rest of the Rulers are waking to
a severely depleted penthouse.

Good morning, Connor.

That's Connor the Cat down there,

Nine-life Connor at the bottom
of the bed there, boy.

CONNOR: Uh-huh.

Did you expect to be waking up here,
this morning, Connor?

It feels absolutely amazing
to still be here.

My secret alliance
with Moses is strong.

Jack and Rossi are none the wiser

and the fight is on.

I vote Ramona or Sydney snores.

I swear, can I tell you something?

When I'm proper tired,

or I'm proper drunk,
there'll be something.

Ramona, you are so loud.

ANNOUNCER: Attention, please.

Oh, don't do this to me.

Tonight, one Grafter will
rise to become a Ruler.

Only one?

I thought it would be two.

The Grafter who rises to become

a Ruler will be immune from
the next elimination.

Raise your hand
if you want to rise tonight.

I don't mind,
obviously I told you but,

if it's one seat,
you need to be there.

I want to go up.

Yeah, it's the rise vote today
and I need to put myself forward,

I think it's now or never
at this point.

Obviously Jack and Rossi
will want me,

but I'm not too sure what
Connor is thinking at this point.

I think it's going to be absolutely
chaotic down there

to get up there, here today.

I reckon Sophie's
going to put herself up.

Same.

What if Syd and Ed come up?

Sydney's definitely going to put her
name in the hat, no doubt.

While the penthouse is working out
which way the rise vote might go,

in the gym, Sophie and Eddy
are just working out.

Why is it now that you
want to go up tonight?

Oh, no they're not, they're
talking about the rise vote.

I feel like we need
a sharp mind up there.

Yeah, you're right.

I'm quite abrasive
but I'm extremely logical...

Yeah.
..and I have a clear mind.

To be a good Ruler, I mean, I've
worked in politics for two years.

I got into politics when I was 15,

I joined the Conservative Party
when I was 15.

I can hold my own against anybody.
Nobody intimidates me.

I think that's why
I'd be a good Ruler.

OK, guys, I've decided,
I want to go up.

I'm going to, I want to go up.

I want to increase that prize fund.
I'm born for that.

I know you are. Yeah.
But listen to me.

Don't you think they,
maybe they too, should be like...

Because I would love you
to be there... Yeah.

..but they never had a chance to.

Yeah, I know,
Sydney 100% and Sophie,

of course, but I'm,
I'm talking about the overall,

who's going to win that prize fund,
we need to increase it.

If anyone really thinks about who's

the strongest leader right now
to go up, definitely it's Ramona.

In real life, you know, I create
jobs, I'm trying to build an empire.

Around here, I'm Ramona Coaster,

up there I'm Lady Boss.
Bring me back.

Right now, there's no fucking
around. Give me another fucking day.

Mic drop.

RAPS: Let's, give me another day
to get the money up.

Let me drop the mic,
and get the fuck out.

ALL CHEER
Oh.

Let's do that.

Ramona is a very strong
and opinionated, like, woman.

Maybe, like, putting her up there,

would be a way
of getting rid of her,

because, you know like,

she's a lovely girl,
but she's very loud.

SYDNEY: It's the hottest room in
here, so.

RAMONA: Let's go sunbathe.
Yeah.

RAMONA:

Yeah, yeah. Good.
I'm not sure where Matt's head's at.

I don't know if he'll vote for me
or Sophie.

Matt did say he wanted me up
there though.

You have to be careful though,

you have to go and remove
Moses from the team up there.

Yeah, I know. He needs to go. That's
what I'm doing, that's my goal.

Like, I literally would keep Connor
for another day.

LAUGHS

Girl. He might make it
till the end, to be honest.

This is hard, because morally,
I want to vote for Ramona,

but I think if I go up with Ramona,

Connor and Moses might pick her,

but if I went up with erm, Sophie,

Connor 100% wouldn't pick Sophie,
so right now I'm,

I'm not too sure what to do.

Another day, another sweeping vista
of our lovely capital and why not?

In the penthouse,

the four Rulers have
finally started to relax a bit,

following the shocking double
elimination

and you know what that means.

ANNOUNCER: Attention, please.

Would Jack and Moses head
to the Red Room

for a test of their
leadership skills?

What the fuck?

It's going to be last time you
see either of us. Safe.

I love you.

I love you too.

Moses is strong.
Moses is very strong,

very opinionated.
He's always going to be good.

He's a good leader in that aspect.

And he's not stupid,

he's a smart lad. I feel like he's
my biggest competition up here.

Let's get it, baby.

I'm happy I got to do the shift
with Jack today.

I need to solidify my power up here

because I still intend on
somehow getting him out.

ANNOUNCER: Rulers, the prize fund
currently stands at £50,000.

Would one Ruler
read from the tablet?

"As a Ruler,
you must make tough decisions.

"Today, Grafters will
have the chance

"to individually submit
a personal request for you

"to approve or decline.

"The request must be for

"a single item or experience that
can be provided for today."

I know what they need

and I'll provide as much as I can,
within reason.

"Each approved request will take
£250 off the prize fund."

Phew, yeah, we've got to be
smart about this one.

100%.
I feel like we should set a limit...

Yeah. ..to hit.

Four things is, it's a thousand.
That's not a big deal.

No, a grand, no.

INDISTINCT
..man.

Sweet, bruv.

Rulers, can you hear me?

Almost certainly.

Grafters, today it's your chance

to request something from
your Rulers.

Anyone who wants to make
a request

can make their way to the Red Room,

where you can privately
pitch your request to us.

The request must be for
a single item or experience,

e.g., a bag of rice

or maybe you want a date with me
in the penthouse.

LAUGHS

Each request we do approve,

will deduct £250 from
the prize fund.

So think carefully about
the request you make.

Oh, my God, guys. I love Jack,
he's like, "This is my opportunity

"to take, a date,
a date in the penthouse."

Ah, sorry, Jack, but I'm asking for
a FaceTime with my daughter.

I'm looking forward to,
hopefully, seeing Sydney,

that's why I wanted
to make sure I done the reading

so she knows it's me.

I'm not too... I don't want
to get my hopes up too much.

I'm going to request salt.

I think it will make our bread rolls
a hell of a lot better.

Like something you know,

Mozzarella cheese we
could just sprinkle

and we could make a
little line for everyone

and everybody could eat
that for a week.

Just that little bit of butter on
the bread. Butter is key.

Yeah, and butter's so key.

What I may request isn't
going to benefit

the group as such,

but I would love to speak
to my wife and daughter.

Yeah.

If it benefits you, we're all going
to feel more inclined to muck in

and help out on the next work shift
so it benefits everybody.

Are you OK with that,
if I get a FaceTime?

Abso-fucking-lutely.

First up to the Penthouse is Eddy,

who only stops talking
about bread long enough

to make bread.

Eddy. Come on, son.

Hey, look at him,
I've missed your face.

Talk to us.

I need sea salt.
We need to flavour the bread.

MOSES: Yeah. Second of all,

that soup as well is just feral,

and probably most importantly,

you might get a request
for cheese today,

erm, that will make pizzas

and you need sea salt
for pizza dough. OK.

We know the choices you make
are not just for you.

It's choices that's going to benefit
every single person down in

the basement, so absolutely, your
request has been accepted.

See you later mate, bye-bye.

Eddy, sea salt,

knows what he wants
to make with it.

He was always thinking
with his heart.

No worries, mate, you can have that.

Former Ruler, Matt,
is back on his old stomping ground.

MATT: Easy chaps. Hello, mate.
What's going on?

Welcome back to the Red Room.
How are we?

So I'm all right, mate,
I'm all right, I'm doing all right.

You look good. Talk to us, mate.
What would you like to request?

So, for me, I would like
to request a video call

with my wife and daughter.
It would just mean a lot to me.

I don't want to take away from
the prize fund but...

EXHALES

..you know, speaking to
my kids would mean a lot.

You know, I miss them,
I do miss them.

He deserves it, don't he?
And it will mean so much to him,

cos it would mean so much
to me... Yeah.

..if I got given it. Yeah.
100%, I agree. We've got this.

Say no more.

It was good to be a
Ruler with Moses.

He listens to me, he does,

after and I genuinely do
think he listens to me.

Matt, come in when you're
ready, mate.

I don't think Jack
sees me as a threat

and I don't want him to see me
as a threat for now anyways.

I already know our
relationship is not 100% real.

This is a dangerous
game I'm playing,

but I think
I'm playing it correctly.

All right, mate, we've
discussed, obviously together.

Unfortunately,
we don't think it's right

to give you and others...
No, only joking.

LAUGHTER

I was about to jump over this table,
mate, I was going to throttle you.

No, you totally deserve it,
honestly,

honestly, you deserve it.
Good to see you.

See you in court, mate.
It's good seeing you.

Take care, mate. See you later.
I respect that. Thank you.

I used to work at Chester Zoo...
Right.

..when I was, like, 17-18.
We had penguins... OK.

..and I got assigned
it as a job role.

Do you know when they fall down,
they can't get back up?

Oh, can they not? They really can't?
So my main job

was just to pick them up and make
sure they were all right.

Penguin picker-upper.
How big were the penguins?

They were 40kg but big,
big, Royal Penguins.

Did you wear, like,
a penguin costume?

I didn't wear a penguin costume.

Just wore some Hi-Viz
and stuff like that

and a helmet just in case they
attacked me with their fins.

They actually attack
with their fins?

Yeah.
So, yeah, penguin picker-upper.

Next, hoping to p-p-p-p-p-pick up
a Penthouse favour is Sophie.

So my request, please,

is for some butter
because, as you know...

Yeah. Yeah. Say no more.
..we love our buttered rolls.

We have all been down there,
we understand how it is,

the request has been accepted so you
have nothing to worry about it.

Can I get a hug before you go?
Oh, really, can I hug you, please?

Yeah, 100%. It's been so long.
Other OGs up, Soph.

Make sure you come up, yeah?
You may see me very soon.

Make sure you come up.

So I gave Sophie a hug
and I told her

to make sure
she gets herself up here.

She will absolutely smash the game
with me up here.

New Grafter Joas has thought
long and hard about his request.

So I would love to have, like...

..a one-on-one time with Rossi

because, yesterday
on the rep meeting,

I kind of related to him a lot.

You fancy Rossi like that
or do you just want to speak to him?

Er, I would love to have a moment,
like experience,

maybe a Jacuzzi
and some champagne and ice cream.

Ice cream with Rossi?

What the fuck?

Obviously, Rossi's not here so I
can't chuck Rossi in that situation,

if he wouldn't want
to be in that situation.

So you're basically denying the
Jacuzzi, is that what you're saying?

Yeah, we're going to deny...deny
the request, obviously. OK, OK.

He's come in, he's got to try
and get us on his side.

He's an idiot, mate.
I couldn't believe it when...

I honestly couldn't believe it.
I was laughing.

Next for an audience
with the Rulers is Sydney.

Oh, no, calm down,
calm down, calm down, calm down.

I know you said,
a date in the Penthouse but...

SHE EXHALES

..I'm sorry,
I need a FaceTime home.

That's fine. We knew you was
gonna ask for that. Yeah.

It's tough, man.

I feel like I've lost everybody now
in the Basement.

Like obviously, Jack,
you went up - that was hard.

Are you OK? Yeah, I'm OK.

It's a simple yes for me. Yeah.

It was an easy yes, we decided...
we-we knew it was coming.

Do you want a hug before you go?

I'm actually so happy I got...
I got a cuddle

because, honestly...
SHE SIGHS

..it's been so fucking tough
in here.

All right, guys, get a room.

I said yes because
I need something against Jack

so if Sydney does get picked today
to come up and rise,

I can say, "Listen, you've already
given her a phone call,

"you've already
done something for her,

"you don't need to have her
up here."

Moses is working hard,
and these lads are hardly working.

Shall we make some cocktails?

What else shall we put in there?

Like this one?

A dash of that.

That's it.

Fucking hell. OK.

Ah, Mr Barman.

Yeah, you have to hold the top.

COCKTAIL SHAKER THUDS
Oh!

Well, that's not gone well, has it?

Anyway, here's Ramona
with her final request.

So I want to tell you guys my
request today. Go on. OK.

It's private time
and meeting with all of you -

that is my request. OK. Yeah? Yeah.

Um, I was going to be cheese
but I thought, "Fuck that."

So you ain't coming for cheese, no?
Huh? You've not come for cheese?

No. The Grafters will not know
that I'm having time with you,

by the way, it will be complete
anonymous and private.

Obviously, we-we have to, you know,
decline the request.

It's almost as if you're kind of
snakes them by asking for this.

It was just a chat, guys.

I mean, even, even...

It was nothing snaky.

It looks like it's a bit snaky,
shut up.

Like, it's snaky
because you just don't want me

to have private time with the Rulers
cos I will over-fucking-rule you.

Actually, I'm shocked what you did.
You said you were going

to get Connor out and you bloody got
James out.

Do you know what it is?

Surprise, bruv - jaws dropped
down there, by the way.

This is my honest question to you.
Like, what the fuck? Like...

If everyone down there
wants to blame me, fair enough.

It's different when you're up here.

I'm just feeding you,
you know what I mean?

I'm feeding you the reality.
But really the reality is

everyone's like,
"Moses traitored us."

Yeah, yeah, of course,
I already knew that.

Listen, I don't need to do anything
else but project the information,

this is why I wanted a meeting,
right?

Because he rejected it,

I turned the Red Room meeting
into my private meeting.

I mean, you've got to understand,
the Grafters are not happy with you.

How, was it? So, I went up there

and I was sure I was going
to ask for cheese and I was like,

"They're going to reject it,
probably."

And I looked at just Moses, I looked
him in the face and I was like,

"Actually, I would like to talk,
that's my request." What?

I started my questions, I was like,

"By the way, you said to me that you
were going to vote Connor off

"but you came up, literally
in seconds, you voted James off.

"I want to know why."

I'm sorry I didn't, like, do
the cheese thing, but fuck it, man.

I'm doubting Ramona.

I don't fully trust her 100%.

I'm not really sure how she would be
if we went up to the Penthouse.

Be a right spanner in the works
if Sam and Joas come up.

Just shove them back down
and press the "down" button.

LIFT WHIRS

Hey!

Right. Mate,
got to the kitchen now.

Fucking what a fucking day.
We got tea.

Working with Jack
was very interesting.

He's really, really comfortable
at the top right now.

I think he believes
he's already won this game.

Anyway. Right, so... Joas.

He wanted two hours
in a hot tub with you.

With champagne. With champagne and
ice cream. That was what he wanted.

I won't be able to sleep tonight,

I don't think,
thinking about it all.

Yeah, me neither.
Room for a tall one?

Where's your head at tonight, then?
So you want to go up yourself?

Yep.

Very much so.

I don't agree
with, like, some of the, like,

the thought processes and things.

If I want something done,
I've got to do it myself. Yeah.

And I want Connor out,
so I'll go and do it myself. 100%.

You know, we've sent up four people
to go and do it

and none of them have done it, so...
Yeah.

..I can't keep waiting here
and shouting at the screen.

Me going to the Penthouse tonight
is a huge risk

because the second I walk in there,
I've got a target on my back.

The women are just getting culled
left, right and centre,

the game has become very reflective
as society as a whole,

but, at the end of the day,

I can't sit here and watch them
make any mistakes any more.

I'm so tired of it.
They're going round in circles.

LIFT WHIRS

Lift! Lift!

LIFT: Attention, please.

Rulers have approved
four Grafter requests.

THEY CHEER

Tell me it's a lot.

They only got a tiny bit of salt.
Oh, my God.

Are you shitting me?

No!

That's such a stingy amount
of salt.

Eddy's feeling salty,

but, for Matt, it's nothing
but sweetness at the moment.

Ah! Is that Daddy?

Hiya, bubba. Hiya.

Are you... Are you crying?
I'm crying, yes.

SHE LAUGHS

I'm on Cloud Nine. I'm so, so happy.

We love you and we're so
proud of you. Thank you so much.

Love you. Love you lots.
We're so proud of you.

That was the boost that I needed,

and I've realised why I'm here
and what I need to do to win.

Hello! Hey!

Hey, darling, how are you?
Oh...upset.

I think seeing my daughter
at this stage,

it's going to really upset me
and I'm finding it hard,

so I need some words of wisdom here
from my mum instead.

A wee card made by your daughter.

Yeah, so it's a wee hand,
looking like wee flowers,

so you've got blue flowers
and pink and red.

Don't cry, don't cry!
You'll have me crying.

Are you missing her? Yeah, and
I think, in here, it's just hard.

It will be hard.

Like, I don't know who to trust
and who not, to be honest, any more.

But that's the whole idea
of the game, darling.

Who to trust, who not to trust.

Probably better
not trusting anybody, right?

You're number one, remember that.

What are you there for?
You're there to win.

I was glad that Jack and Moses

gave me my request,
because I needed it.

Obviously she was just reminding me
why I'm in here -

it's for my daughter.

The ultimate goal is to have the
means there to support my daughter

and if she wants to do anything,
she can do it.

I just need up to that Penthouse.

MUSIC: Foreign Things
by Amber Mark

It's a completely normal night
in London,

and Jack is about to ask Connor
a completely normal question.

Just think, 24 hours ago,
you'd have had me out of this place!

And now I'm rubbing cream...!
Now you're rubbing cream on my arse.

This is what I usually do
for people that are immobile in bed.

From the bottom of Jack
to the bottom of the building...

..and Sophie isn't feeling quite
as peachy.

Out of all of the Grafters,
I'm a real Grafter.

I've been here since the beginning.
True, that's true.

I've been here for six work shifts.
Yeah.

I've seen them not push us,
push us too much,

make mistakes with the overtime.
Yeah, yeah.

They're not eliminating
the right people.

It needs someone to go up there
who's going to tell them that

and if I get eliminated doing that,

I get eliminated for doing that.
Yeah.

I'm ready to rise now.

I've watched them make mistake
after mistake after mistake,

shouting at the TV.

It's time for me
to put my money where my mouth is.

I think there needs to be
a female up there, definitely.

Yeah, I do.

I'm still really concerned
about you and Jack.

I knew you would be, yeah. Yeah.
I'm going to be honest with you,

I don't want to hide it behind
your back. Yeah, of course.

I'm really concerned
and I've been up there

and I've seen
wrong decisions made... Yeah.

..because of friendships.
Yeah, because... Yeah.

Having feelings for somebody
is even stronger than a friendship.

Stronger, yeah. Yeah, of course.
It's nothing personal against you.

I know. Yeah. I know it's not.
I know that, Matt.

It's just shite.

Everyone's just leeching on to,
like, me and Jack being a thing,

so I feel like people
aren't giving me the chance,

but then I felt the pressure
today, in a sense.

Like, I think this is
my last shot going up.

And that shot is imminent,

because the lift is on its way
to the Basement.

LIFT: Attention please.

Lift. Lift's going.

Ugh! It's every time I want to eat.
THEY LAUGH

Grafters, it is time to vote.

You cannot vote for yourself.

Tonight, I'm voting for Sydney.

She's shown unbelievable grit
and determination,

but more so I actually think
she would be a fantastic Ruler.

I think sending Sydney up there
to form an alliance with Jack

is just really quite careless,

so that is why I voted for Sophie.

This rise vote today is big,
it's massive.

I wasn't expecting the voting
process to be, like, so tense

and I realised that people are here,

are actually playing the game.

I voted for Sydney.

I trust her. She trusts me.

I voted for Sydney.

Still trusting her words.

We have a little game plan.

I don't like snaky behaviour.
I don't like back-stabbing people.

I felt like, whatever name
I was writing down there,

I wasn't coming out of that
good at all.

SHE PUFFS

LIFT: All votes are locked.

And, faster than a speeding lift,
the rise vote results are in.

Attention, please.

Oh, what the hell?

The results of the rise vote are...

..Isaak...

..Joas, and...

..Samantha received one vote each.

Ooh!

Sophie received two votes.

And Sydney received four votes.

THE OTHERS APPLAUD

I got zero votes.
I just got back-stabbed by Sydney.

Fuck everyone, man.
I don't care any more.

Forget me doing anything
for anyone.

Sydney and Sophie received
the most votes.

They will rise to
the Penthouse imminently.

SHE CHUCKLES

Good luck. Well done, girls.
Well done. Thanks, guys.

We'd better get ready, Sydney.
Yeah, you'd better get glammed.

Can we quickly go to
the boiler room, girl? Yeah. Yeah.

It clearly shows
not to trust anybody.

I voted for Sophie.

Are you kidding?

Well, we agreed that
we'd vote for one another

and I don't give a fuck if I get one
or a half or even ten,

if you say to me, like, you look me
in the eye and you say,

"Ramona, I've got your back."
Promising to someone,

committing to someone
is a different thing, you know?

In my eyes, anyway.

I am really sorry, Ramona.
Like, I am. It's OK.

Just go up there, do good.

Ugh...

Attention, please.

Would Sophie and Sydney
enter the lift?

SHE SIGHS
Go on.

Good luck, Soph.

Maybe I'll see you soon,
maybe I won't, who knows?

Ramona, I'm really sorry.
It's OK, man.

Are you ready, babe? Yeah.

The intention was never
to back-stab Ramona

but it's time to go up.
I've been here... What, 12, 13 days,

at this point? I'm like,
"Fucking hell, I've done my due.

"I've had enough."

Right, good luck. Good luck.
Aw, good luck.

You should stay as a Ruler! Whoo!

Let's go! Go, go, go, go!

THEY SING

Bye!

Bring down food!
Bring down loads of food!

Lift rising.

Two Grafters rise, but only one
can stay and become a Ruler.

# Let's get to work

# Let's get to work... #

Of course I'm going to fight
for my place in the Penthouse.

It's really important for me
to go up there and stay up there.

I think it will be a close call
between me and Sophie.

I'm feeling pretty positive.

I think I would make
a better Ruler than Sydney,

but ultimately I think
we're both great.

I just want to go see
the people that I miss,

experience the penthouse
for the first time

and give the guys my feedback.

# Yeah!

# I'm gonna keep on
reaching for the next level... #

To our new Ruler.
Cheers, guys. Cheers, guys. Cheers.

I'm praying and hoping
Sydney doesn't rise today.

If that's the case...

..the alliance with Jack and Rossi
has just been solidified.

LIFT: Attention, please.

Guys, it is actually the lift.

Ideal situation, ideal pairing.
Go - you.

Ideal?

Sydney and Isaak.

Worst partnership coming up
that lift?

Ramona and Joas.

Correct.

Oh, my bum's going.

# I'm gonna keep on
searching for it for ever

# Next level. #

Oh, wow.

Ah-ha-ha!

Ah! Oh!

Hello, hello, hello.

So good to see you. Oh!

This is beautiful.

Ah! Can you show me around?
Let me show you around.

Sophie becoming a Ruler
benefits me in many ways.

She's someone
that I need by my side.

Her, including Connor,

you know, creates
a strong alliance for me.

You miss me? Uh-huh. Really?

Yeah, I didn't think I liked you
that much until I lost you,

and I've been crying like fuck
downstairs. You've been crying?

Yeah, I've been actually distraught

the last two days.
Yeah, but did you miss me as well?

Yeah, yeah, obviously. Slightly?

Syd and Soph walked out the lift.

My little Syds, innit?

Having Sydney in the Penthouse
means I can trust someone 100%.

I will have her back
until the very end.

I can't go back down. Yeah.

But you do have to pitch yourself
to me and, um...

No, we won't...
we won't let you go back down.

You make a wee pitch?

We all know why you're up here
so you're staying up.

I know Jack will fight for me
in the Red Room

but I'm not going to really get
another chance to go at this vote.

This is like my last chance.

So, yeah, it's like,
now or never, to be honest.

So this is...this is dressing place.
Dressing room.

One bedroom. Spare bedroom.
Whoa. Holy shit. Wow.

Mine and Jack's room. One bedroom.
Look at these beds! Oh, my God.

Have a seat. I'll talk to you
straight up, yeah? Mm-hm?

Sophie, believe me,
it is all a game up here.

Now, Sydney being up here
and you being up here,

it's going to be
a very, very strong fight.

Jack is going to try to overpower,
out-speak. I'm not hearing it.

He's literally turned on me
and was, like, trying to off...

Look how close we were
from day one. Yeah, yeah, yeah.

That's... It's not...

It's fucked up here, Soph,
it's not always me. Yeah.

You're literally trying
to save yourself every day.

If I get Sophie on board today,

me, Moses and Sophie have
the upper hand, and Rossi and Jack?

We'll just decide which way
they go out.

Yeah, no, I get you. So today,
I'm going to put all of my might

into fighting for you.

The plan is to get rid
of this stupid alliance

that they're trying to make. Yeah.

I think I've got
Connor and Moses' support

because they're worried about
that alliance

and they know, because
I'm not part of that alliance,

that they're going to back me.

Talk to me. So what do you want
to do, then, if you don't come up?

If I don't come up,
I'm going to go.

And then what happens?

Obviously, I wouldn't want you
to ruin your...

..chances here, obviously, so...
I can win this, easy. Yeah.

I'm sitting up here comfortable,
mate.

Things are very serious
in the Penthouse

and, downstairs, new Grafters Joas
and Sam are also laser-focused.

Ramona had to work really hard
for that. Yeah!

Sydney could...couldn't even
make eye contact to Romana.

OK!

My God!

So sad.

JOAS BREATHES DEEPLY

It's so hot in here!

Well, as long as they're enjoying
themselves, that's the main thing.

Anyway, back to the whole "tactics
and battleplans" thing upstairs.

I know that you three
are very close.

My chances are slimmer
with Sydney up here. But...

At least I'm being
straight to the point.

But you're still going to get three
votes anyway, regardless, tomorrow,

so it's not going to
make a difference.

You just...
You really don't know that, though.

You're going to go.

It's still worth a shot.

I think, at this stage in the game,
it's about taking risks.

Yeah, yeah, fair play. Gotta do
what you gotta do, ain't you?

Jack has tried going for me twice,

considering we were
in a kind of alliance

and if you're trying to do me dirty,

then the trust is gone like that,
so...

And James tried doing that
and...where is he?

LIFT: Attention, please.

Would all Rulers
report to the red room?

Bye. Bye, babe. Mwah!

If you are given the option
to vote someone down...

Mm-hm. ..Jack. Yeah.

OK? Mm-hm, got you. Promise.
I'm going to fight for you.

Thanks, babe, love you loads.
You too. See you in a bit, guys.

See you later.

Bye, guys.

I do have equal love
for both Sydney and Sophie,

but I also have a very,
very strong love for winning.

I am winning this competition.

MUSIC: Boom Boom
by 2WEI

It's been a long night of
campaigning, canvassing and coercing

for Sydney and Sophie.

# Bang, bang, bang, bang... #

But now the time has come
for the Rulers to decide

which one will rise
and claim power in the Penthouse.

In the red room tonight,

I'm going to use all of my strength
to fight for Sophie.

Sydney being up here
with Jack and Rossi is...

It's a strong alliance

and anyone that comes their way
is just going to get eliminated.

Obviously, I'm always
going to have Sydney's back.

I will never,
ever change my decision.

It's as simple as that. Once I say
something, I'll stick by it.

So I think the main thing
to look at is,

who do we know can stand up
and make decisions?

Sophie is someone
that's, ever since I've met her,

from the first work shift
that we did,

she's always been so amazing
at getting her point across.

She can speak, she can
have the room listening to her

and I think where Soph
is mostly needed is here,

just because of her political
mind-set that she has.

Sophie has never
believed in herself,

and I know what that's like,

and now she's finally given herself
the push to rise.

So obviously I just think, you know,
she would make a really good Ruler.

I agree with you, Connor -

eventually, she would make a great
Ruler, but I don't think so now.

I have a feeling
I'm going back down. You think?

Mm-hm.

I think if you go back down,

I don't think you're
going to come back up.

I'm not. I'm not coming back up.

Sydney, for me,
she's in the same situation as me,

she's got a little girl.
She wants to make her proud.

She's put everything into every work
shift. She's got a kind heart.

Sydney said she was struggling,

and the pressure up here
is ten times harder.

That's my thinking as well, sorry.

It's ten times harder
than the Basement.

I've strug... I was fine down there,

but up here I've struggled a lot
more than what I did down there.

Sophie... She's struggling
with the people, she said. Huh?

She's struggling with the people.

She said she's got
no-one left down there.

It's not that
she's struggling down there.

You ain't seen her struggle once
in the trials,

every trial she's done. 100%.

She said she's got no-one down there
any more cos we've all left her.

In this game,
we all came as individuals.

100%, and we'll leave
as individuals.

Exactly,
and we leave as individuals.

We need to somehow have a team
where it's not just us trying to do,

"Oh, I like her, I love her,
she means the world to me,"

let's actually think about someone
who could possibly take more control

and make decisions,
most probably Sophie.

LIFT: Attention, Rulers.

Please submit
your collective decision.

I'm going with Syd.

I feel like she's the adult
of the pair of them.

She'll listen to us
and she'll go with the flow

and I feel like Sophie's
a bit of a live wire.

I also go with Sydney.

She's been emotional,
but emotional's good as well.

I have to go for Sophie.

We need the risk taker, we need
someone that will push the button,

not think about doing it,
but actually doing it.

I'm also going to vote for Sophie

and I think Sophie will be able to,
you know, handle the intensity.

Moses, he's playing safe.

He knows if he brings up
Sydney tonight, he's out.

Jack and Rossi
desperately want Sydney here.

They've claimed
it's for the good purposes,

but I do believe they know that
that's the only way

for them to be strong up here.

I do not want that to happen.

We haven't come to a decision.
Nope. Because it's 50/50. Yeah.

It's a tie.

HE GASPS

They look devastated.
What's happened?

Why do they look so pissed?
What the hell? No way.

Oh, here we go.

I'm gone.

Mate, they look... I'm gone.
..depressed as hell.

LIFT: Attention, please.

Rulers need to make tough decisions.

Rulers have not been able to make
a collective decision

on who should rise to become
a Ruler.

The prize fund will drop by £1,000

for every minute
without a majority decision.

Fuck!

Oh, for... Shush!

What the fuck?

Just pick you. Just pick you.

Oh, my God.

I made a decision and I stand by it.

I'm not gonna ever fucking change
my mind. We've come too far.

Prize fund currently stands
at £49,000.

Fuck! It's fucking Moses, man.
Let Sydney go in!

I nearly lost my place
for being indecisive, so...

I honestly believe Sophie
will be a better Ruler.

I don't know what to do.

They've both done
exactly the same time.

You said why you think
she'd be a better Ruler.

What the fuck? What are they doing?
Just pick you. Sophie, calm.

Prize fund deduction begins now.

Guys, we're wasting money.

If you believe
you're going to go tomorrow,

what's it matter if you're
going to be indecisive or not?

Because I've still got a...
I've still got some form of chance.

With...? In what...in what aspect?

Because I've still got a whole day
to try and prove myself.

It's not going to change in a day

of you being the weakest leader
here, is it?

You guys really think these idiots
are really good Rulers?

The reason the people
are going to vote you

is because you were
the weakest leader,

making decisions that you've made -
one decision, two decisions.

You've made two decisions
that have fucking back-fired,

so therefore you got put down as
a weak leader.

Yes, you didn't fight...

Oh, my God.

But if you're going to
be indecisive anyway,

and you could possibly go tomorrow

and sit there and lose money
for a decision where you...

You won't even be here to get
the brunt of it anyway,

what's the point in it?

I'm not going to be known as
the one that always is indecisive.

I made a decision.
I gave my valid point.

Why is it always me that's got...?
Why have I...?

Wait a minute, it's not...

I'm not digging you out,
it's not indecisive.

We've just got to... Just... Right.

As Rulers,
they should protect the money.

Shall we just decide again now,
or are we just going to let it go?

Because that's just being silly.

Sophie.

Sophie. Oh, my God. Syd.

Are you shitting me?

You can't ruin the prize fund
like this, you know what I mean?

Guys, just let's... Decision.

If no-one's going to make
a decision, then we just...

We don't need to keep
going back and forth.

What an awful...
And it just comes down to us.

Up here, they'll think,
"Oh, what Rulers -

"they couldn't make a decision
and left everyone in the..."

Mad, it's crazy.
It's terrible. Course it is.

This is crazy.

We need someone here...

We need someone
that's good at decision-making

and if no-one is looking
to change their mind,

then let's just stop
talking about it.

Let's just stick
to our...our pride and just...

I'll run it to the ground, bruv.

This is why you don't let men
in charge.

THEY LAUGH

This is not what Rulers should do.
This is all over pride.

If you're already indecisive...

Yes, you've changed.
Everyone's seen you've changed

but the fact that you might
go tomorrow and cost someone...

But there's still...
That's where you say "might" -

there is still a possibility
that I can still stand my fight...

Bruv, we've already discussed it
and we've told you,

I've told you I'm going to
do my thing tomorrow

because you are the weakest leader
at the table - fact.

Cos I made two wrongs?
Cos you made two wrongs.

No-one else round this table
made two wrongs. I didn't...

Guys, the time is going.
Honestly, please.

Come on, Rulers!

People do make wrong decisions.
Are you going to change your mind?

No. I'm not going to change my mind.
Are you going to change your mind?

Absolutely not.
I've given you my reasons.

Are you going to change your mind?

Everything's gone,
every fucking pound.

We're going to run that to zero,
bruv,

and they're going to be like,
"What the fuck?" Mad. Pfft!

All that...
All that Basement for fuck all.

Fighting for two people.

He's fucking laughing.

I don't want to sound arrogant,
yeah?

But since I was voted down,
it's gone to absolute shit up there.

Yeah, they've fucked it.
Do you know what, guys?

Not watching this shit.

I'll tell you what we'll do -
paper, rock scissors.

That's-that's not how Rulers work.

Oh, for fuck's sake.
I haven't ate dog food,

shovelled shit
for them to do this now.

This is not a rocking situation.

Well, how are we
going to do it, then?

We've just got to stand
to our ground

and believe exactly who we think
deserves it. Rocking is...

They both deserve it.
This is the thing.

We're fucked either way now. Yeah.
Because we fucked it, so... Yeah.

We've lost ten bags,
cos we can't come to a decision.

LIFT: For every further minute,

£5,000 will be deducted
from the prize fund.

SAM SCREAMS

Ah!

Moses, change your mind.
Connor, change your fucking mind.

Fuck's sake! I'm going to be sick.
I'm going to be sick.

HE PUFFS
Boy.

If you want to go to the Grafters,
trust me, now's your time.

I'll never to get their trust cos
it's the same decision every time.

Well, what's the matter, then?

Why are you wasting money if you're
gonna... If it's the problem?

Like, you're doing it
to be stubborn.

I'm doing it because
I'm trying to be decisive.

Well, I am being decisive.

He's doing it to prove a point.
Connor knows he's gone.

He doesn't care
if this goes to zero.

I've always said that Sophie
would make a good leader,

just like Sydney would
but I've pushed for Sophie.

You fucking couldn't
stand her yesterday.

It doesn't matter... You didn't
fucking light her up on the thing.

Whether I like her or not doesn't
mean if I think she's a good leader,

that's personal.
I don't want it that much.

In six minutes,
it's going to be on zero.

Mm-hm.

We've lost £14,000.

I'll sit here until it goes down
to zero, 100%.

What?!

Fuck! Money doesn't matter?
Yeah, it fucking does!
