(menacing foreboding music)
(blocks cracking)
- Showtime.
(blocks cracking continues)
Now Shiloh, to what do I owe the pleasure?
- You know what we're here for.
Give him back!
(air rushing) (blocks cracking)
- Guys!
- Elijah! - You want him back?
I challenge you
to a game of chess.
The winner
keeps him.
- No, leave me, he's gonna!
(blocks cracking)
(apple crunching)
- You think you're intimidating
by pulling an apple out of thin air?
Well, that's not impressive.
(Judah gasping)
That's not the only thing he can pull from thin air.
- [Kia] Shiloh, what's the plan?
- I don't know how to play chess.
- What? - I just never got into it.
- Anyone?
Does anyone know how to play chess?
- I know how to play-
- No, not you.
- Oh, okay, fine.
- I know how to play.
- Yeah, he used to play with Elijah all the time!
- Great, Judah, you'll be the king.
- Great.
- Ooh, you might wanna change your face
so he doesn't know you're scared.
- Ooh, no, try smile.
That'll have to work!
You're on!
- Excellent.
Do you all agree?
- [All] Yeah.
(air whooshing) (electricity buzzing)
(air whistling)
(electricity sizzling)
(metal scraping and banging)
- Remember, take out the king to win.
Any questions?
- Yeah, how does the knight move?
(all groaning)
- You know we don't know how to explain it.
- Why would you ask that?
- It's like a circle!
- No, no- - Just move
where it's highlighted. - The match will begin
in three.
(dramatic menacing music)
Two.
One.
- Pawn advance.
- Yes, I long for the warm embrace of nothingness.
- Okay, Rook, you move in a straight line.
Bishop, diagonal, and Queen, you can do both.
- What's the plan?
- I'm just gonna wing it, ya know?
- What?
That's not how you win at chess!
- Really, it's what I learned from that Netflix show.
- No, you have to be smart and think multiple moves ahead.
- Got it.
Pawn, do exactly what their pawn did.
- Elijah, you're gonna be in there a while.
- Why am I pawn?
They're the most worthless piece, and I just feel like
there are much cooler pieces I could be.
- Well, I just thought to myself,
"Who's the most worthless person on my team?"
And it was you.
- Seriously, Judah?
(menacing dramatic music)
- Ah, I see you're doing
the Bulgarian Double Duck formation.
How interesting.
- You definitely just made that up.
- I'm gonna defend my pawn with Knight to C3.
- Excuse me, I'm sorry, sorry.
I'm just, you know knights can skip over places, so.
All right, Brittany, you're going down.
- Question, were you always this ugly,
or is today a special occasion?
- Ha, got him.
(lively dramatic music)
- Brittany, eliminate their pawn!
- [Brittany] Um, I can't attack that way.
- [Lily] I know, uh, here, maybe if we switch sides?
- Yeah, it, it's just not working.
- Knight to F6!
(lively dramatic music)
- That was a dumb move.
- Stop, you're making me self conscious.
- Bishop to C4.
(metal slamming) (Judah squealing)
- You blundered your pawn and you didn't even see it.
Robin, take her out.
- You mean like on a date?
- Yeah, get her some flowers too and maybe take her to, no!
Not on a date!
(lively dramatic music)
- Yes, the sweet release of!
(sand scattering)
- Lily, you're still a pawn.
- Oh, I was finally at peace.
- You see, Judah, is not I
who have blundered, but you.
Knight, take his piece.
(Robin whimpering) (sand scattering)
- No!
(mournful dramatic music)
(blocks cracking)
- Guys, you don't understand!
When you play against him, the winner gets every piece
that gets taken off the board.
(foreboding music)
- Your faces are exactly how I wanted them.
It's perfect.
(lively tense music)
- We can't lose any more pieces.
- Judah, get me out there.
- Do it.
- [Kia] Yes, queen, making moves.
- [Shiloh] Stop.
(lively tense music continues)
- Pawn to D3.
(stone scraping)
- [Judah] Pawn to D6.
(stone scraping)
- Knight to E2.
- Judah, are you gonna get me outta here or not?
- Not, called it, E6!
- All right, A, B, C, D, E, E, okay, uh.
One, two, three,
four, five, six.
Wait, what comes after six?
- Right there!
Go right there.
The one I'm pointing at.
No, not that square, over one!
Yes, move there.
Thank you. - I didn't realize
they allowed pawns to play kings.
- He just called me a pawn!
That's offensive.
- Really?
- You're a monster.
Taking Elijah outta the blue like that.
- Well, I didn't take him.
He came to me all on his own.
I won him fair and square.
- Elijah?
- Yeah, I kinda came here,
and played against him, and lost.
But I didn't know this would happen.
- None of us did.
- We all lost our own games.
- See, I'm not guilty.
- Have you seen the pawn that hides from ugly people?
- No.
- I've seen him, have you seen him?
- I've seen him. - He's hiding from you.
- You know what, Rook, trade places with me.
- Bro thinks he's Hikaru! - Got him!
(lively tense music)
- Wait, he can do that?
- [All] Yes.
- It's called castling.
- Okay, just checking.
- Pawn to B4. - Before what?
- Got him!
- Pawn, take out their pawn!
- Yay!
(sand scattering)
- [Villain] Get back here.
(Lily grunting)
- Judah, when you would normally play against Elijah,
how would you beat him?
- I never actually won against him.
- What? - But you guys
used to play together all the time!
- And I always lost.
- If he beat Elijah, then how are we gonna beat him?
(lively foreboding music)
- Kia to C6.
- Knight to D5.
- [Judah] Pull, pull back to C8.
- You're playing it too safe, Judah.
- Boo, who asked! - Burn!
- Knight to B6.
(metal scraping)
- Oh no, bro.
- What is it?
- Our knight's threatening their bishop and their rook.
They gotta choose who they're gonna lose.
- Ha, get forked.
Shiloh, I can't keep all the pieces on the board.
It's too hard!
- Then don't.
Do what you need to do to win the game.
We'll be okay.
(lively tense music)
- Judah, you're gonna save me, right?
- Cole, you're my friend.
I choose you, Josiah.
- I'm standing right here, I can hear you.
- Oh, don't worry about it.
It's you, he's dead.
Rook to B8!
(lively tense music)
- Oh, seriously?
(knight grunting) (sand scattering)
Man, getting forked is the worst.
(lively tense music)
- Josiah, take out their knight!
(sand scattering)
- Queen to F3.
- Zakiyah to D8!
- Bishop to B2.
- Zakiyah I need you to E6.
- Bishop to C3.
- Zakiyah advance to G5!
- You really think you've control of the center?
I'll just sacrifice my knight.
He means nothing to me.
- Whoa, whoa, whoa, whoa, whoa.
Whoa, whoa, whoa, whoa.
You're, ah, you're gonna sacrifice me?
- You're too scared to do it.
- I'll do it. - No, or maybe don't do it.
- Is that a chicken I hear, huh?
B-gawk b-gawk.
- Knight, take out his knight.
(sand scattering)
- Shiloh, end him.
- Be gentle.
(sand scattering)
- Yeah! - Yes!
(lively tense music)
- Why did I get the little one?
- Rook to B1. - Pawn, F6.
- Bishop to D2.
(air whipping)
- Shiloh, retreat to H4!
- Pawn to C3.
- Shiloh, let's get you back into this fight!
(dramatic foreboding music)
- I can't.
I'm trapped!
(metal scraping)
Anywhere I move, I'll be taken out!
- Lucky.
(villain laughing)
- I've got your most valuable piece trapped.
- I feel like that's demeaning to every other piece here.
- I told ya, not just anyone can play chess.
- Wah, wah, Big L.
What are we gonna do?
We get Shiloh out of there.
- Bishop to B7.
(air whipping) (stone breaking)
- I'm getting threatened over here!
- Protect Josiah!
- Rook to C7!
- Bishop to A8.
- Judah, you've gotta get me in this fight.
- Fine, you can move one square over.
- This is why everybody hates you.
- Knight to E7.
- Bishop to C3. - I'm almost free!
- Shiloh, fall back.
- Queen E2.
- Wait, with the rook defending her, that means.
(lively tense music continues)
- Finally.
(sand scattering)
- With the rook defending her, you can't take her!
It's checkmate!
Wait, why isn't it over?
Why isn't it checkmate?
- Well, I can't take you.
But he can.
(foreboding music)
- No!
(sand scattering) (mournful music)
- No!
(villain laughing)
- I just got your most valuable piece.
In what world could you ever beat me?
- Ooh. - Ballistic bishops
are the worst. - It's the Botez gambit.
- Judah, I see a series of moves that could lead to a tie.
- But that would leave Shiloh, Elijah,
and the others behind.
- We have to leave behind everybody we've lost.
Come back another day.
(minimal foreboding music)
- Elijah, why'd you even come here in the first place?
- I came here to find someone else to play with.
Because I felt bad that you always lost.
- Are you kidding me?
I loved those games.
- But I always won.
- It didn't matter!
I just wanted to play with you.
- Judah, you can't win versus this guy
by playing like Elijah.
He beat Elijah, play like you.
- I would make some weird moves.
- Exactly.
- I'm here for it.
- What's the plan?
He doesn't value our pieces.
We'll make him.
We get Brittany to the end row.
It may cost us everything.
Josiah, are you prepared to do what's necessary?
- Always.
- Brittany, it's hard to say this
but this all rides on you.
(Judah retching)
That was hard to say.
Micah, move outta the way
from (indistinct) to protect Brittany!
Move to G8!
- Clean up time!
Pawn to B5.
- Judah, get me in the fight.
- You got it, Michelle to G7!
- Thought you'd never ask.
- Bishop to A5. - Rook to D7!
- Rook to A1. - Pawn, take B5.
- Yay.
(sand scattering)
Dang.
- Take a pawn again.
- Yay.
(sand scattering)
Oh.
- Obliterate them.
- I'm jealous.
(sand scattering)
- Michelle, protect Brittany!
- Pawn to C5.
- You know what, just keep taking pawns as long as you can.
- Maybe this will be the one.
(sand scattering)
Nope.
- Queen B2. - Back!
(Judah squealing)
- Not today!
- [Villain] Rook to A4.
- The runway is open, I'm moving forward!
- Brittany, move forward!
- That could work, that could work.
- Queen to B6.
- Brittany, keep going.
(sand scattering)
- Stop taking all our pieces!
(villain laughing)
- Brittany, one step closer!
- Almost wish you were better.
Rook, E1.
- Are you ready for this? - I'm with you
till the end of the line.
Any sacrifices?
(Josiah yelling)
- [Knight] Finally some action, I'm gonna enjoy this.
(sand scattering)
(Josiah squealing)
- [Josiah] It's so dark, I can't see anything!
- Turn around.
- Oh, nevermind.
(exciting ominous music)
- What could your measly, worthless pawn do?
- Checkmate you.
(sand scattering)
(exciting music)
- What's happening? - If a pawn makes it
to the other end of the board, it can become a queen.
(all gasping)
- My queen. - Kachow.
- No!
How can this be?
Bishop, protect me.
(exciting tense music)
(sand scattering)
(villain grunting)
(sand scattering)
- Check!
(sand scattering)
- Rook, go after their king!
- Ha, got him!
- Move!
- Today's the day!
- [Knight] Check!
- Check!
- Checkmate.
- You win.
I guess pawns can be kings.
(everyone screaming)
(cheerful pensive music)
(blocks cracking)
(blocks bouncing)
(Elijah gasping)
- Oh, thank goodness.
I farted in there and the ventilation is really bad
so it's just not going away.
- So do we like keep you now?
- Yes, I guess it does.
This has never happened before.
What is my fate?
- Death! - Whoa, whoa.
- Whoa, was that the wrong answer?
- I think we'll just wave that clause just this once.
(dramatic music)
(stone falling)
- Congratulations, you beat the bad guy.
(lively exciting music)
- They gave me stats after the match!
You had 14 mistakes, eight blunders,
three misdemeanors, and a felony.
And one brilliant move.
(all screaming)
(lively music continues)
(pensive minimal music)
