[tense music]

[theme music]

It's way easier.

I did this for a bachelorette thing once,

I mean, I clearly didn't do my research.

[Harvey] Yeah. Honey, I told you about this.

That was close.

No doubt 'cause she refused to marry anyone.

Honey, take your time.

And he would seizure the castle for like three years,

-[scoffs] -[sighs]

watch and learn.

to undo the wrongs of the past.

I nearly killed someone.

-No, no, no. -Uh-uh. Uh-uh.

The woman.

The guy wouldn't take no for an answer.

The faceless lady.

Romance, am I right?

-Lord Rockenby something, right? -Yup.

but she won't budge no matter what.

-Aah. -Oh.

[grunts]

Babe.

Next time try using both hands.

What was created in hatred and vitriol

the lovers.

by you,

[Tawni] Just relax. Remember to breathe.

-And to the victor... -[horn blares]

It's not bad.

Babe, stop talking.

You got this.

Ooh.

will be released by love,

But not close enough.

They seek to unbind blood and stone

[Harvey] [sighs] Well...

Damn it, close.

Also rumored to be a witch.

-Poor bitch. -Right?

Are we meant to be coaching?

What is this siege story?

Apparently the lady who lived here

[tense music]

was the most beautiful woman in the whole country.

[chuckles]

Shh.

[screams]

[panting]

Is that Kieran?

[Dion] Does anybody know first aid?

Anybody, guys, come on,

-first aid. -[Imogen] Yes, I do. I do.

Uh, push down on the-- on the cup.

Wait, wait. He's saying something.

It's not possible.

It's not possible. It's not possible.

[Angelique] No, wait. Where's Quinn?

[speaks Irish]

with love...

Tawni, what's he saying?

[Tawni] Yeah.

Uh, I'll go find Quinn.

[gawking]

[tense music]

Um...

[Dion] The hell does that even mean?

No, lovers blood.

Lovers blood to break the bind.

We need to stop the bleeding.

[Ella] Quinn?

-Wait, does that mean we win? -What?

We have to topple the thing. Go Ella. Since you're the pro.

-fun stuff. -Huh,

So he storms it and kills them all.

I can't be the only one that noticed.

-My God, that happened here? -[Harvey] Yeah.

It is still standing. All right?

Cameras behind mirrors, guys, oldest trick in the book.

Wait, Ella, don't.

[Tawni] Where did he go? He was just right here.

[crows cawing]

What? [chuckles]

[Harvey] Who cares, guys? You heard the man.

So, uh, what happened to her?

moving through mirrors, driving people insane,

Oh, yeah.

Feminist icon if you ask me.

She cut her own face off to avoid marrying him.

-[Dion] Ah. -[Ella] Yes.

Now, they say she haunts the castle,

[tense music]

I mean that's why they cover the mirrors, right?

Come on, Ella.

These games are no trifle.

...well, the spoils.

Easy.

[Quinn] A word of warning before we commence.

The first to knock the sentry off his perch, wins.

I'll just take those for you.

Uh-hmm.

-Harvey? -Yup. Yeah. I'm just...

Quite.

Well, it is a competition after all.

gather your wits as we say, before we commence?

which we will. Come visit.

Well, perhaps you'd care to, uh, freshen up,

Hi.

-[Harvey] Hey. -This is Tawni.

[Kieran] Isn't it?

[Tawni] Apparently you already know us.

Kieran.

[in English] This tongue is full of surprises.

[in Irish] That I do.

I have some matters I need to tend to.

She also studied linguistics.

[Kieran] If you'll all follow me.

Love and commitment.

and, your love for one another.

Just through the garden there.

So...

You'll find directions to your rooms on the cards there.

[Harvey] Well, we are turning it into a hotel when we win,

Guess we are getting medieval, aren't we?

So is this like a tradition?

[Kieran] Indeed.

You see, 350 years ago, a massacre occurred

Mr. Quinn wanted to keep the competition personally.

into a needless tragedy.

And a name. Margaret?

[Kieran] Coming, sir.

So, how much of the story was actually true?

[Imogen] This place is amazing.

No, the story is true,

Over the next 36 hours, we will recreate the events

So, there's only six of us competing?

[Ella] You think this is a TV show?

And now the first game awaits.

Good luck. Good luck to you all.

Is that disqualification?

Who goes first?

One in three chance of winning.

[speaks Irish]

The American can count. Wow.

That changes everything.

and they'd make us fight each other.

But there's only three envelopes?

You better be prepared to fight for this place

[Harvey] We'll see.

as we came down the drive.

[Harvey] So all of this would be ours, right?

[Quinn] Landscape as far as the eye could see.

[Dion] Wow. I mean, Ella has been really stoked.

Everything all right?

The stables?

She is [indistinct]

[gasps]

[Quinn] Oh, dear.

Uh, no problem. Of course.

-You good? -Yeah. Yeah.

Hey, she does not spook easily.

Sorry, I thought I saw a spider.

[Harvey] What time do we kickoff by the way?

Sorry. What were you saying?

I need to send some emails first.

[Kieran] Actually, no phones from this point on.

What, you...no phones at all?

Fine by me.

It is only two nights.

We, can't have anyone cheating now, can we?

Okay.

[Harvey] [sighs] Competition got you spooked?

My bad. I think this is us.

Nope.

I could actually get used to this.

So, um,

[scoffs]

but did you ever hear from your fosters?

Yeah.

If we--if we win...

what do they think about you maybe living back here?

when, when we win.

What do you mean? I just came to get everyone.

They don't really say much about anything.

Am I the only one who read the rules?

I saw a car arrive.

-[Ella] Same. -[Dion] Right.

a lot of time in castles, Angelique.

I'm sorry. [chuckles] I hope he wasn't getting competitive.

Oh.

No, no. I think he was just lost.

[scoffs]

You have fun friends, right, Tawns?

This is pretty fancy.

[Dion] I'm sorry. Did you say this castle was small?

-Oh, here they are. -Hey.

Should we go down together?

I'm sure they're excited.

No.

God, I love confident people.

You heard the summons, too.

It's a good time for a shower.

It's so much fun watching them lose.

You want me to go have a look?

[laughs] I'm not saying it's small,

[laughing]

Yeah. Harvey was saying earlier how much he likes your names.

Well.

Angelique.

Wait, so this is really everyone.

Love you.

[in Irish] Welcome my friends!

You speak the mother tongue?

I wonder where the bathroom is.

[speaks Irish]

[Quinn] No, no, no.

Here goes nothing, I guess.

Hmm?

[heartbeat pounding]

You are not doing this again.

[exhales]

Thanks.

Yeah.

[in Irish] With this I bind you.

You, too.

Dion?

[exhales]

[tense music]

[sighs]

[sniffs]

[tense music]

[in Irish] With this I bind you.

[Imogen] Harvey?

Okay.

[in Irish] With this I bind you.

Do you need something?

Come on, come and play.

[Quinn] Kieran. A word, please.

[horn blares]

Can I help you?

Tawni and Angelique.

[door creaks]

[Ella] Wow.

Hi.

All right.

[Harvey] Yeah. Lucky for you guys, they didn't.

It means the games have started.

but Mr. Quinn is waiting inside if you...

Harvey?

Oh, do they?

Wow.

What are you doing here?

[Dion] What?

Imogen, it was a joke.

Do you hear that?

[Ella] Oh, my God.

Hear what?

[Imogen] I thought there were gonna be like 20 people

[Kieran] Quinn will run you through the rules

What on earth is that?

for any reason.

[castle door closes]

-You can count too. -[chuckles]

under no circumstances should you attempt

Uh, speaking of the competition,

Finally, these games are a war of attrition.

-Nice names. -They sound like prostitutes.

You hear that, Elle? We are four hours away from Italy.

Irish, fun.

He's very particular about that.

[in Irish] Nice place, my friend.

I guess never really thought I would be.

I'm sorry. Come on.

Each round will eliminate one player.

True.

[Kieran] Oh, my job is to find you guys and get you here.

The last man or woman standing wins.

[Ella] Have you worked for him long?

When do we start?

-What is she doing... -I don't know. I don't know.

[speaks Irish]

Mr. Quinn doesn't really leave the house.

There are only two requirements for these contests.

But no, I'm about four hours away

Wait. Is this part of the game? Are we supposed to speak Irish?

from being on an Italian beach with my fiancée.

though it remains incomplete,

-[Ella] Oh. -[Dion] Oh, wow.

which is why you are all here.

-is this-- -No, it isn't a scam.

[tense music]

Who are these other two anyway?

[Quinn] I can assure you, it's all very real, Ella.

castles, the prize.

time is precious.

If you leave your bags here,

I'll get them up to the rooms before the competition starts.

Rule number two,

please don't find this rude, but...

[Quinn] You shall each take turns to throw the ax.

I'm sorry. Was that--was that excitement?

-Okay. -Don't worry, everyone's asked.

The siege began with the death of a sentry.

when everyone arrives, but...

it's just smaller than I expected.

Hmm. I thought you said you loved this place.

But when we--when we beat him,

-[Dion] Wow. -Okay. So you spend

Hmm.

What can I say?

Yeah. Ignore me.

You know what?

This is so dank.

It's just...it's big.

within these walls, one which turned a great romance

Ella, are you excited? Oh, my God.

I mean, I'm excited. I am so excited.

And very sensible she is, apparently.

It's just, um, being back here,

Commitment to playing the games

it is gonna feel so good.

Isn't that what you always said?

[scoffs] What can I say?

I'm a comfort girl.

I think I'm just nervous about the competition.

It really is.

We already have.

Should we call someone?

The games, I mean, sir.

Ella, Dion, hi.

In a sense, yes, or perhaps somewhat different.

-Hey. -I didn't hear the car come in.

The faceless lady. She had a head.

Thanks.

One of the couples missed the flight,

Ah, you're talking about the headless woman.

-Thank you for having us. -[Kieran] Yeah.

the Siege of Killer Castle.

Yeah, um, everything was great.

Lady Margaret actually.

[castle door opens]

That's wild.

Are you excited? [laughs]

I'm sorry, we're being filmed for this, right?

Well, we are on a bit of a time crunch.

of that fateful night,

[Dion] Oh, wow.

the winner shall inherit everything.

Follow them to the letter.

Obviously. Games,

I can assure you

Before we begin, the rules are simple.

there are no cameras.

Hey, nice to meet you.

All right. Let's go check out the new pad.

Rule number one.

When you hear the carnyx,

[Dion] Yeah, we kind of got that vibe from the emails.

the round has begun.

How was the flight? Car obviously got you here.

I know you don't wanna talk about it,

And as on that historic night,

and I can't stress this strongly enough.

to leave the grounds

Great.

And as on that night,

We are so excited.

I mean, I'd love to meet them, finally.

-Sorry. Kieran. -Hi.

-Hi. -Hey.

-Harvey. -Hey.

Hey.

-Harvey. -Oh.

um, when does the competition get here?

Well, some already are.

Uh, yeah, I did, but, um, they're traveling.

for a brown guy to win, it being 2024, right?

Um, yeah. And where are you from in Ireland, Ella?

Seems I spoke too soon.

Didn't I tell you?

[Harvey] Imogen, honey, come say hello to the competition.

Is that the hedge maze?

Mr. Quinn, it is so great to finally meet you.

I was just telling my friend here that it might look better

-...with that guy? -I honestly don't know.

-Uh-hmm. -Um, well, all over really.

Well, a long time ago anyway.

Isn't that right, Ella?

-Yup. -Yup.

because we have got some big plans.

Wow. It's beautiful.

[Dion] Yeah. Okay. We can handle ourselves.

-Lovely to meet you both. -Hey.

[Quinn] The castle grounds are very private.

[Imogen] We didn't see any neighbors

I think I read about it online.

-I've got family in Cork. -Oh, no way.

Welcome to Killer Castle.

Thank you both for taking part.

The pleasure is all mine.

Thank you.

Yeah. Well, we were just saying before that we cannot believe

Yeah. I mean, in the States,

that you are willing to let go of this place.

we can't even afford an apartment.

for hundreds of years.

Yeah. I like to think the house chose.

And she's talking about rent, by the way.

we could hear from down the drive.

[Quinn] Well, a house like this

never really belongs to anyone, does it?

binds her to these walls.

to take it over when I'm gone?

where's the Lady Margaret?

But the castle has been in the family

Hmm. Good lass.

Mr. Quinn doesn't have any heirs.

No, no, no, no,

[woman screams]

[Harvey] It's too late, we've already won. Go home.

I won't hurt you.

You must be the Americans

-[young girl screams] -[gunshot]

Margaret...

So, why not find a nice couple

in Meta Horizon Worlds now.

Wow. And speaking of happy couples,

siege is over.

[Lady Margaret] Stay where you are.

Uh, not quite actually.

Why?

Ella is actually a local.

[tense music]

I've come for your hand...

Don't matter. It's in the blood.

When it's you I've come for.

Look at me.

Or come with me...

I mean, I still can't believe that you chose us.

and I'll forgive all.

and I intend to take it.

[tense music]

[people screaming]

[people screaming]

[tense music]

[Lord Clon Rockenby] Where's your sister, boy?

[tense music]

She's gone, fled.

We both know that can't be true.

In the chapel.

-I won't ask twice. -And I won't tell.

Oh, but she will.

She will never have you, Rockenby.

Tell me, child,

In time...

she will.

Have you seen her?

Where?

[tense music]

More than fear

-Is that a turret? -Ella, come on.

What have you done?

Like, who gives away a castle?

[car engine revs]

I mean, yeah, it's Ireland

and there's loads of castles here.

[in Irish] With this I bind you.

-Come on. -I don't mean to be a downer.

[Lord Clon Rockenby] You weep.

No, seriously, because this whole trip,

It's...does this not seem a bit crazy to you?

We're way past the point of getting cold feet

you've just been quiet.

Come on, talk to me.

[Dion] So what? Do we just go up and knock or...

Does it look this creepy online?

Then, what are you saying?

-and they did just fly us in. -No, I know.

-Come on. -I'm not saying that.

But I did this for you.

Needn't be like this.

You made an enemy of one who loves you.

I will not.

[Lady Margaret] Why?

Indeed.

So let me see your face.

As you wish, my Lord.

For my beauty?

-Are we doing this right now? -I...

Here I am, Clon Rockenby.

I bind you to these walls as you bound me.

-I curse you and yours. -No.

Margaret!

No!

[birds chirping]

[dramatic music]

[Ella] I guess.

Have I not waited long enough?
