For your fourth challenge, you need to get a makeover because YOU'RE CHOCKED.

WHAT? ANYWAY, I got a pro here. She's going to help you out. Come on in. Hello, Nova. She's not a pro. She's just a girl. She is a professional. Get in there and try it on now. Man, I don't need a freaking makeover. You guys are haters. 5 minutes later. All right, Nick. Come out. You look stupid. Oh, come on. Let me see you. Here it is. Oh my god, you look so handsome.

Well, looks like I'm off ON MY DATE. BYE, NOVA. THANKS. BYE. All right, guys. We are back at the restaurant. It is finally time for my date with Roomie. I'm really excited.

Let's go. Oh my god, I'm so excited. Here we go. Mike, what happened to you? Wait, does this mean Roomie was kidnapped? Now that I am a prime suspect in the kidnapping of Roomie, I need to prove my innocence. But remember to keep watching to the end to see who killed Hundreds. Hey, Bobby. No, we can't do that, Dave, for the concert. We have that other Maybe we could come up with another plan. Maybe the next day or two. Roomie was kidnapped and the suspect is somebody in this room. Wait, but we literally just saw bounty hunter Mike was the one WHO KIDNAPPED HER. YEAH, bounty hunter Mike was poisoned with demon potion and the identity of whoever

tried to frame him is in this room. Well, it can't be me. I was working at the time of the kidnapping. Yeah, why isn't us? Everyone knows that you want a girlfriend. Maybe you kidnapped Ruby to keep her all for yourself. Dude, I would never do that. I got rid. Hey, ladies. You know what they say, keep your friends close and your enemies closer. You two are her closest friends, which makes you prime suspects.

We would never hurt her. Yeah, mom. You're just a sus guy. I don't trust you. What? Doesn't make any sense. Nova, you probably want to take Ry's spot in the Huntress. What? Coach, everybody knows you hate the K-pop demon hunters. What? We're waiting on a cure for the bounty hunter, but in the meantime, let's review this evidence. The kidnapper is sneaking up on Mike. Oh, look. He jumps on him. Mike is so strong. He knocked him off no problem. Let's go. Mike got away. The suspect was only able to hold on for a few seconds.

Follow me for the first challenge. For this FIRST CHALLENGE, WHOEVER CAN RIDE THIS BULL FOR 10 SECONDS is free to go. All right. Jamal's up first. I'M GREAT AT WRITING THINGS. WATCH THIS. OKAY. OH, Jamal is down. 4 seconds. The girls are up. Let's see how Zoe does. This thing is really scary. I'm kind of nervous. Oh, not very long. This is so lame, but I'm going to win. I have high hopes for Meera. Let's see how she does. Wa! Oh, I guess I was wrong. That was stupid. Anyway, I can't believe I failed.

Nova's taking this very seriously. She actually might win. You know what? Everyone always thinks that I'm so weak, BUT TODAY I'M GOING TO PROVE THEM WRONG. I'm back. I quit. No, she definitely won't win. Nick's turn. I GOT THIS. I'M GOING TO PROVE MY INNOCENCE. Here we go. Oh, yo. Oh, man. Oh. All right. Damn. He's done this before. ONLY A FEW MORE SECONDS. OH, here we go. WOO! ALMOST DONE. A FEW MORE SECONDS.

WOO! I DID IT. OH, he actually completed it. And finally, coach. Let's see how he does. Man, this is light work. Watch this. I got this. Coach is actually doing this. Oh. Calm down. Yeah. He's really athletic. Light word, baby. Oh, come on. Woo. Yeah. He actually finished it as well. ALL RIGHT, LET'S GO. WOO! COACH, YOU'RE INNOCENT and free TO GO. NO, WAIT. I COMPLETED A TIMER. CAN I GO, TOO? NO, I'm only letting one person go this round so I can get a better idea of the suspects.

I'M NO BEAR. Coach is no longer a suspect, which means only five of us remain. We still have more challenges ahead of us, but we need your help. Like the video and hit the subscribe button right now if you want to help us save room. Let's review the next piece of footage. Oh no, the bounty hunter's trapped. As you can see, the suspect is terrible at slicing things. So, let's move on to the next challenge. For your next challenge, whoever can slice the watermelon perfectly in half will be free to go. Let's do this. Okay, we got this. Light work. Was that good? I epically failed the bowl challenge, so I'm going to make up for it.

What? I didn't even MAKE IT THROUGH. GUYS, MAKE SURE TO SLICE that subscribe button like I'm about to slice this melon. Here we GO. OH, LET'S GO. NOT TOO BAD, GUYS. We do this type of training in Hunt Tricks all the time. Watch this. See, that was easy. This is so annoying. Am I done now? Zoe's slice was nearly perfect, so she's free to go. But Meera displayed great skills, so she's free to go. We're out of here. All right. Bye, Zoe. See you later. Rest of you, back to the station. I knew it was one of you three. Let's keep going.

Mike and the kidnapper are about to fight. Oh, what's going down? Oh, wa. That was a strong punch. Yeah. Wait, Nick, aren't you a boxer? That is sus. No, no, no, BUT DUDE, THAT ANYONE CAN THROW A PUNCH. Almost anyone. Oh my god. WAIT, NO. THE KIDNAPPER GOT MIKE. That's all the evidence. On to the next challenge. For this next challenge, we're going to test your punching power against the world's strongest man. Let's see WHAT THEY GOT. ALL RIGHT, FIRST UP, we got Jamal. You ready? Oh, yeah. Let's go. The suspect punched really hard. Someone's going to punch him really soft. Watch this.

All right, here we go. Let's go. Oh, did you try TO FAKE YOUR PUNCH? NO, I TRIED. I THINK HE'S SUS. I am not sus. Next up, we got Nova. In the last two challenges, I look stupid, BUT NOT THIS TIME. OW. On my wrist. You need some ice? Yes, please. Last but not least, we got Nick. You're a pro boxer, so I got really high expectations. Okay, no holding back. All right, let's go. Here we Oh, you got some power there. Yeah. I think you might actually win your next fight.

Really? Psych. Hell no. Whatever, dude. So, what's your conclusion? All right. Jamal had the weakest punch, but I know he was faking it. Nick was strong, but I wouldn't really call him a professional. The person I think that is innocent is Nova. Yay. You're free to go, Nova. All right, GET OUT OF HERE, NOVA. ALL RIGHT, THAT'S all the CCTV footage. So, who is it, Officer Dan? Definitely one of you two. But the last piece of evidence is about to walk in. Boys, MIKE, YOU'RE AWAKE. YOU'RE FINE. TELL US WHO THE KIDNAPPER WAS.

YEAH, YOU MUST HAVE BEEN THE KIDNAPPER. YEAH, it was you, JAMAL. WHAT? Officer D, TAKE HIM AWAY. NO. WHAT? I WOULD NEVER MIND. TELL HIM. You're going to jail for a long time. I didn't do it. Now the gate's closed. Now we just need to find out where Roomie is. Wait. Something's not adding up. For some reason, I trust Jamal. Earlier, he said he was at work. I was working at the time we kidnapped. And how would the bounty hunter know it was Jamal? Whoever injected him with the potion had a mask on. Wait a minute. Why

can I still see the curse marks on Mike? Does this mean he pretended to be infected to clear him as a suspect while the whole time he was never even sick and that's how he made such a quick recovery at the doctors? WAIT, I KNOW WHO did it. IT WAS HIM. What do you mean? Listen, look, the curse marks, they're coming off. The doctor said he was healed. No, he was never sick to begin with. This is makeup. Search him. NOT TRUE. SEARCH HIM. CHECK IT OUT. NICK, you were right. DEMON TATTOOS.

NO WAY. I KNEW IT. IT WAS YOU. YEAH, I did it. Ruby was supposed to be mine. That's it. You're coming with me. Let's go. LET'S LET JAMAL OUT. COME HERE, BUDDY. I KNEW YOU were this and I knew you'd never DO IT. I WOULD NEVER. Come on, man. Yes. Officers found Roomie at Mike's house. She's on her way to thank you guys right now. Good work, Nick. Oh, wait. She's at the door. Let's go. Room. I'm so glad you're safe.

Oh my god. Roomie was murdered. Hey guys, WHAT? YOU GUYS ARE COMING WITH ME. OH NO. YEP. Roomie was murdered and the police think I did it. Is this the end for me or can I prove my innocence? All right, NICK. WHY'D YOU KILL ROOMIE? IT WASN'T ME. I SWEAR. WELL, we found Roomy's secret phone, and the last place it went offline was at your house. Well, she was supposed to come over yesterday, but she never ended up making it. I swear. Tell it to the judge. Wait, wait, no. If we had her phone, maybe there's some information that can lead us to the true killer.

You have one chance. All right, let's see what we can find. Looks like she texted your friend Sumo that day she went missing. Look, it's a time they were supposed to meet up. And she has his location. WHY DON'T WE GO CONFRONT HIM? He could be the killer. Let's go. Time to head to the sumo's location. Look, it's Sumo. There he is. Let's go get him. Yeah, SUMO, THERE YOU ARE. We know all about you and Roomie. Spill the beans.

Wait, how'd you find out? That's it. YOU'RE UNDER ARREST. NO. WATCH OUT. OH. OFFICER, ARE YOU OKAY? I just hit an officer. I'm fine. Go get him. I'll catch up. I got to get out of here. SUMO, GET BACK HERE. Almost to safety. I got to keep going. Sumo was just here. HE PROBABLY WENT THAT WAY. Let's go this way. I think I lost him. I'm going to go in here. Quick, let's get inside. I hope they're not following me anymore.

Ooh, food. Wait, where did he go? A restaurant? Maybe he's in here. Let's check. I don't see Sumo anywhere. Finally, some tasty food. What was that noise? The kitchen. Let's go. Sumo. I found you. What? Nick, I can explain. That's it. You're under arrest. It's not illegal to cheat on your diet. Wait, cheat on your diet, dude. You're under the arrest for the murder of Roomie. Wait, Roomy's dead? And no wonder she didn't show up today. Wait, what are you talking about, dude? You need to come with us. Let's go.

No, my chicken. Let's see what Sumo has to say about this. What's going on? Explain. Well, me and Rooney like to have a food eating competitions and so we go to different restaurants uh to eat their whole menu together. Wait, bro. That's a big back activity. This is going nowhere. It's a dead end. YOU'RE COMING WITH ME. WAIT, SUMO, was there any information you can give us about the killer? Well, I do remember she sounded a little bit sus. What was going on? Tell us. Well, I got to go. World's strongest man won't leave me alone. I got to deal with him. So, it was THE WORLD'S STRONGEST MAN THAT did it. You have to be super strong to KILL ROOMIE. THINK ABOUT IT. Let's

set up a trap and go get him. Good idea. Thanks, Zumo. Got it. You've been working out a little bit. Are you sure about that? Snake just text me to come over the house. He said it was important. So, I got to hurry. There better be protein there. Let's go. Pebble is on his way. Let's get ready, guys. Pebble is arriving. Yo, where you at? got We got Oh, no. You don't.

WHAT'S WRONG WITH YOU GUYS? GET UP. GET OUT. GET UP. COME ON. You go. What's wrong with you guys? COME ON. WHAT WAS THAT all about? Guys, listen. We know it was you. YOU WERE THE ONE WHO MURDERED ROOMIE. THAT'S WHY YOU'VE BEEN HARASSING her and blowing up her phone. What? That's not WHAT HAPPENED AT ALL. After our first session, she stopped replying to me. I think I was a little bit too tough on her. Pebble's training is no joke. So, what now? The last time we trained, I overheard she was having problems with her bandmates. I don't know anything else, but that could be a lead.

Hey, it's worth checking out. Should we head over to Huntress right now? Let's go. All right. Sorry about that, Pebble. You better be sorry. You owe me some steak now. I got you. It's time to go confront Hundreds. That's it right there. That's got to be where Huntrix is staying. Oh man, we should have brought back up after what happened with Pebble. Don't worry. I'm one step ahead of you. I got backup on the way. Oh, look. They're here right now. Hey, what's the plan?

What can we do for you? Let's go. That's what you call backup. Listen, it was last minute. All right. You know what? That security guard at the front, let me go talk. Let us handle this. Just stay here. Come on. Let's go, guys. Um hello, Mr. Security Guard. Hi. Can I help you? Can you please um just give me some directions to Oh gosh. Uh, your vest is so cute. Mama says I'm special.

SO SCARED OF THE DARK. I don't like this. Jamal, stop touching me. I'm scared of the dark. Wa! Oh, the lights are back on. Zoe, they're dead. This doesn't look too good for us, huh? Officer, that's it. You guys are coming with me.

LET'S GO. I SWEAR. In a shocking development, Huntress were just found murdered. Authorities are now investigating. I knew it was one of you three. When the lights went out, somebody murdered Zoe and Mera. Let's take a look at this. Who is that? When the lights went out, one of you were able to kill Meera and Zoe. So, for our final challenge, come with me. I've set up an obstacle course. You will all compete blindfolded. Whoever finishes the obstacle course first will be free to go. We got this. Yeah. Easy. Three, two, one, begin. All right. Here we go. Yo.
