showed a lot of ingenuity.

‐ I didn't come here to leave right away.

I know I'm smarter and better than 99%

of the people here. And I'm certainly more

emotionally evolved than Nika.

You're gonna tell me that if you're in a situation

where there's chaos, you're gonna want her over me?

I don't think so.

‐ Have you made your decision?

‐ I think we have.

‐ Agreed. ‐ Yeah.

‐ You both drew unnecessary attention to yourselves

in a covert mission.

In the end, we believe one of you

shows more promise than the other.

Mitch, you're dismissed.

‐ Mitch, hand over your dossier.

It will be passed on to a fellow competitor

of your choosing.

You must leave the Blacksite immediately and head out.

"Spy Games" is over for you.

‐ Thank you.

Nika, you're still in the game.

You've lived to fight another day.

Join the others back at your new home.

‐ Thank you guys. I will not be here next week.

‐ I hope not.

‐ Being a little bit older and more mature,

I thought that I maintained poise and that was

a characteristic that they would value.

But I also tripped up in ways that were non‐recoverable.

So I have to accept that.

‐ I'm really tired and wanna shower.

Like, really, just‐‐ ‐ I know...

‐ I know. ‐ We're all bad on that.

‐ Can I scooch in here? ‐ Yeah.

‐ Thank you.

Yeah, I find Chelsey attractive.

I think it'd be silly if somebody didn't

find Chelsey attractive.

Looks like, uh, Colin and Brock over here

about to play some pool.

I wanna hop in the swimming pool.

‐ [laughs] Or do.

‐ I'm prepared to break George's heart if I have to.

As soon as I don't really need George anymore,

I'm fine with being like,

"Okay, George, it's time to go,"

and doing whatever I can to get him out of the game.

How did they find you? ‐ Coworker referred me.

‐ [laughing]

Coworker. ‐ Shout out to Dovanie!

‐ This is gonna get aggressively difficult.

Not the pool.

‐ There's another bottle. Let's go to the hot tub.

Just an idea.

If I'm being honest, um...

if I have a weakness, that is it‐‐maybe, yeah.

So I'm hoping that...that doesn't become a distraction.

‐ Hello?

‐ Oh! ‐ Hey!

[all cheering]

‐ Oh, my God.

‐ I hug you. ‐ [muffled shouting]

Nobody showered while I was gone?

‐ I am absolutely ecstatic

when I see Nika walk through that door.

It means our original network‐‐myself, Brock,

Christina, Nika, and Saif is still intact.

‐ I'm surprised because I thought Mitch was

the stronger competitor. I don't know Nika well,

but, you know, someone that planks in a bar...

you gotta wonder.

‐ Mitch really threw a punch.

He commented that he was more emotionally stable

and that's why he deserved it more than me.

‐ Do you think that was the final nail in his coffin?

Like, did the judges react really poorly to what he said?

‐ I have no idea. It could've been anything.

‐ I don't know these girls at all but I do know that I've

been clocking Chelsey and I don't trust her.

She watches everybody all the time.

She moves a lot like a cop to me.

If anybody's gonna sniff me out, it's gonna be Chelsey.

She's gotta go.

‐ In the field a Dead Drop is a method of passing

secret information between individuals.

‐ Whoa.

There's me!

‐ For the purposes of this competition,

the competitors will need to check these boxes every day.

‐ Oh! I got it open without...

‐ How did you do that? ‐ No, this.

‐ Oh‐‐hey! ‐ Go team.

‐ Wow. ‐ Yeah, look at it.

‐ What is it? [gasps]

Can I come in?

‐ Ooh, this is super cool.

I think I have Mitch's dossier.

I didn't know that people could leave their dossiers.

‐ Oh. My. Gosh.

I see that Charnel's being a little careless

with her dossier.

And I want that intelligence.

‐ Charnel?

You want me to shut your box? ‐ Yes, can you?

‐ So I put my folder on hers

to see if she notices.

It's not about hurting her or anybody else.

It's about me just trying to survive.

I'm gonna do what it takes to win.

‐ Oh, my gosh.

‐ I put my folder down

and there's Charnel's dossier.

And I don't understand why.

Charnel's being a little careless, but these dossiers

are important and anything goes.

'Cause if I get into the bottom two again,

I'm definitely gone.

‐ [laughing] Read it, read it.

‐ Okay.

"You will figure out which secrets above belong

"to which competitor. This information will play

an important part in the final stages of this game."

‐ We gave them a list of secrets about each other.

And told them to figure out which secret

belongs to which competitor.

It'll be interesting to see how they all adapt to this.

Gathering intelligence as a spy‐‐it's the most

important thing you're ever going to do.

‐ Not a U. S. citizen. That's interesting.

‐ I live in Jacksonville, Florida,

but I was born in Baghdad, Iraq.

I decided to join the U. S. Army

as a translator and interpreter.

I had to get very sensitive information

from people I never met before.

I learned that the best way to do that was to build

an emotional connection with the person.

And then you can get the information you need.

‐ Someone has the nickname Dr. Death.

‐ I heard someone say Dr. Death at one point.

‐ Was accused of racketeering.

‐ I was accused of racketeering.

Now, I've done many things in my life that I shouldn't have

and I've definitely broken the law,

but I never had anything to do with racketeering.

I was innocent and I genuinely was.

I would tell you because‐‐

I got enough stuff that I've done.

‐ Was a competitive fighter.

"Who is it?" It's‐‐it's me.

I was a Taekwondo tournament

fighter up until I was in my 20s.

I keep my black belt sitting above my dresser.

It's still there.

‐ I got kicked off of Tin‐‐

I got...I got banned from Tinder.

But I promise, nothing creepy. Nothing creepy.

‐ Speaks fluent Mandarin.

‐ What if one person did all of this?

‐ Damn, what a life.

‐ All right, so...

‐ Exactly. ‐ The key might

have to be turned, too.

So turn the key... ‐ I tried both ways...

it's not‐‐see, it's not‐‐

‐ Nobody's really looking, so...

I just...I take it.

‐ My dossier was here.

I had it with me, but now it's gone.

Gone.

‐ Key up‐‐up and down... ‐ I know but I tried...

every ‐‐‐‐ing thing.

‐ I am livid.

‐ With every step I take, I just think I'm going

to get caught. Someone's going to get me,

someone's gonna run after me.

And nobody does.
