All right, guys, this one is bound to get under your skin.
For this prank encounter, we start at the home of the fictional Mr. Timms,
the CEO of a powerful chemical company called Tomanson Chem Tech.
In our story, Mr. Timms just got back from an expedition
in the jungles of South America,
and he accidentally brought back some insidious souvenirs.
Now, Mr. Timms is bedridden from a bug bite of unknown origin,
and the symptoms of the bite's venom have been less than kind to his body.
And tonight, we've got two targets whose paths will weave ever so perfectly
so that they both land right at Mr. Timms' doorstep.
Up first is Kierra, who's arriving at Mr. Timms' house right now.
She's meeting with Mr. Timms' assistant June,
who has needed any extra help she can get since Mr. Timms' illness
and will be assisting her for the evening.
Meanwhile, across town, our second unsuspecting target,
Bennett, is gearing up
for an exciting night with Scotty,
who's the owner of Bug's Worst Enemy Extermination.
He believes he's working with Scotty to inspect a property for unwanted pests.
And that property is, you've guessed it, Mr. Timms' house.
Now, everyone that Bennett and Kierra meet tonight are all actors,
and everything they're about to do will be caught on hidden camera.
Bennett and Kierra have never met before,
and if everything goes right, these two are about to be caught up
in a web of lies inside Spider Mansion.
[thunder rumbling]
-Hi, I'm June. -Hi.
Welcome to the Tomanson family.
-How's your night going? -It's going awesome!
-Good! It's going great! -How about you?
-Regardless of the rain and everything. -I know.
-Traffic. [laughs] -It's crazy. It's crazy.
So, thank you so much for being here.
This is my boss's home, Mr. Timms,
and we're gonna work from here today because he hasn't been feeling well.
He's been suffering from some exhaustion, because he's in the process
-of selling this house. -Oh, yeah.
-That's understandable. -Yeah.
-It's a lot of work. -Yeah.
Okay, so there's a couple things we gotta get done.
I didn't bring my reading glasses, so I'm gonna have you be my eyes and ears.
So if you could take notes?
And could you read that note for me over here?
Yeah, absolutely. Right here…
Um…
"The remainder of the moving truck arriving tomorrow."
"Exterminator coming today."
Okay. Kierra is engaged in the schedule. Show me Bennett.
Uh, first of all, I can't thank you enough for helping me tonight.
Of course.
Should be an easy, easy, uh… ride. First of all, tell me about yourself.
Uh, I'm 19.
-Are you a freshman, then? -I'm a sophomore.
Sophomore. All right. What do you study?
-Uh, business. -Okay.
So a little bit about me.
This is my business, Bug's Worst Enemy. You know what that means?
Yeah. Kill bugs.
-Kill bugs-- -And rodents. All that kinda stuff.
Yeah. Now, what's your experience with bugs, rodents, and all that stuff?
-I have no experience. -No experience.
-Great. We can go in. Let's do it. -Okay.
[June] Let's go say hi.
[Gaten] Okay. Time for Kierra to meet Mr. Timms.
Mr. Timms?
-Oh. Come on in. [chuckles] -Oh. Come in, June. Come in.
-Hi! -Hi.
-Good evening. -Um, I don't mean to be rude.
I'm sorry I'm not able to get up and greet you. I just have been tired.
No, you're absolutely fine. Thank you. Thank you.
Been working so hard on the new program.
You're doing a great job.
Have you been to the Natural History Museum?
-Lately? -Oh, it's been so long since I've been.
No.
The Tomanson family,
we provide a lot of the artifacts for the museum.
-Really? -[June chuckles] Yeah.
-[Mr. Timms] It's exciting. -That is so exciting.
-Now I've gotta check it out. -[Mr. Timms] You should, while you--
-It's pretty amazing. -Now that you're in the family…
-Yes. -…we can get you free passes.
-Oh, that's-- -Before the end of the night.
-We'll set that up, yes? -[June] Thank you. Yes, we will.
-Absolutely. -Um… So, did you see my list?
I remember that the exterminator should be coming, um…
today.
-Yes. -Yes.
[June] Great.
It's a pretty big house that we're going to tonight.
Like, 2.7 million…
-Sweet. -…house, all right?
-Let me explain. -[June] Yeah.
-[Kierra] Okay. -I'm selling my home,
and the only way that I can sell it is to get a clean bill of health
from all inspectors, including the exterminator.
In order to sell it, they need a certificate from an exterminator
that clears them and shows any potential buyers
they don't have an infestation in the house.
-Okay. -We're gonna make sure
that there's nothing obvious, give him his certificate,
and then go on to the next house.
Okay.
When the exterminators come, could you ask them a question?
-Sure. -Um…
I got a bite not long ago.
Can I show it-- Do you mind taking a look?
-It's hard for me to see it. -Sure.
What do you see?
[June] Oh…
[Kierra] Ohh…
Oh, my goodness.
I'm not exactly sure, but it looks like something had to, like, inject…
-Like, um… like a stinger on the end? -[Mr. Timms] Mm-hmm.
So it has to be… I believe so.
-It has to be one of those. -Does it look good? Does it look bad?
Hmm…
You may…
[June] Uh… um…
[laughing]
She's totally freaked.
I mean, it doesn't look like something life-threatening
-or anything like that. -Right.
-No, absolutely not. -That's good.
I was just gonna say, maybe a cream?
-Oh. -Yeah.
-Yeah, of sorts, I believe… -Like an ointment.
Yeah, like an ointment. Exactly.
-Yeah. -Okay.
-Yeah. -But if you can describe it
to the exterminator, I'd like their professional opinion.
We'll go brainstorm. Get some rest. We'll talk soon.
-It was a pleasure meeting you. Thank you. -Thank you.
[June] All right.
What's your level of comfort with insects?
Uh… like, uh…
I'm pretty good with 'em.
Not so much, like, spiders. Spiders kind of creep me out, but…
Yes!
[laughs]
We're gonna work with one other employee, Kunal.
He's my cousin-in-law.
Now, Kunal's over there. He went there last week.
Went in, and for some reason he does not wanna go back in.
-He's jittery. -He's scared of the house?
I don't know. He said, "There's something in the wall. It's creeping me out."
He's on my last nerve.
But, you know. We'll see what's inside this wall.
If it's anything big or whatever,
I'm not gonna put you in a situation where it gets crazy.
Have you seen anything like that before?
Um, no, I haven't. I can't say that I have.
Haven't seen it the way it's spread out on his chest like that.
To deal with that on top of everything else?
I know. He really liked you. He took a shine to you.
-Oh, you think so? -He did.
[Kierra] Oh!
[Gaten] Okay. Time for Kierra and Bennett to connect.
Here's what I'd love you to do.
Call, let 'em know that we're with, uh, Bug's Worst Enemy.
We're the exterminator company.
And that we just need access to the house.
-All right, back to this flyer. -Yeah.
-We should-- Oh. -[phone ringing]
-Oh… Oh. -[Kierra] Hmm?
-Good evening, Mr. Timms' home. -This is Bennett with Bug's Worst Enemy?
-Oh, okay. -Gotcha. The exterminator.
Great. Mr. Timms had one thing he wanted us to ask.
-What did he want? -Yeah.
So, um, yeah, Mr. Timms,
he does have a concern about a insect bite that he obtained
on his chest.
Um…
To see if it's anything he should be worried about.
I couldn't tell you what type of bug he might have gotten the bite from,
but it did seem as though, um…
like a stinger, maybe inserted him.
Uh, do you know where it occurred?
Like, in the house?
Oh, where did it… No. We don't know, off the top of our head.
-We can ask him. -We can ask.
Uh, has he traveled anywhere recently?
Uh, has he traveled anywhere lately?
Like… I'm sorry, like, outside of the U.S., or just…
Anything outside of the state.
Okay. We can ask.
And then, was he shaking?
Was he shaking at all?
He wasn't shaking too much,
but I can verify that as well.
[Bennett] We're gonna be there in about three minutes,
but we'll need full access to the house.
-Okay. Three. -Great.
All righty. Thank you.
[June] Thank you.
I guess we should go get these answers…
-before they get here. -Yeah. Seems they're anxious about it, so…
[June] All right, let's do this.
Oh.
Mr. Timms?
-Oh. Oh, I'm sorry. -[June] Hi.
The exterminators called, and they had a few questions in regards to your bite.
Oh, good, good. Okay.
They wanted to know, where in the house did the bite occur?
Family room, the sitting area.
I was going to light the fireplace,
and I just felt a stinging.
Mmm.
Would it be like a spider? Or I don't know.
-A what? -A spider?
Might be. They're pretty rare,
-you know, this time of year. -Yeah.
So it's nothing local.
Have you traveled outside the state recently?
I've brought in artifacts and shipments from abroad.
I recently received an amazing set of artifacts from Chile.
-Ah. -Oh.
-In South America. -Oh, okay.
Um… Like, have you been shaking any at all?
Last night, I… I was.
Just didn't feel myself.
Oh.
It's like a surge.
Like in your body?
-Yes. -Yeah.
Oh.
Okay, stand by to activate spider sounds.
[rapid clicking]
Sh! Do you hear that? Do you hear that?
[clicking continues]
[whispers] I did. I did! I did!
-It's not just me. You hear it? -No, I heard it. Hold on.
-It's not there anymore, but definitely-- -It was there.
-You heard it too? -I'm not crazy.
No, you're not. I heard it.
-Yeah. -Tat-tat-tat-tat-tat-tat-tat.
I don't… Did it come from here?
[June] We'll let you rest.
-Yeah, continue, please. -Thanks, Mr. Timms.
-Good job, both of you. -[June] Thank you.
[Kierra] Thank you.
[Gaten] All right, Bennett and Scotty are arriving.
The other exterminator, Kunal, should be waiting outside.
-Sweet. -Yeah, right?
-Hey, man. How's it going? -Hey. What's up?
Kunal, this is Bennett.
-Hey. What's up? Kunal. -Hey.
[faint clicking]
-[Scotty] Have you been inside yet? -No. I'm not going in there by myself.
[Scotty] All right. Well, listen, let's go in the house.
All right.
All right, they're about to collide. Let's get ready.
[knocking]
Hello.
-Hi. -Bennett.
-I'm June. -Nice to meet you.
-How you doing?
[Gaten] Kierra and Bennett are going to meet for the first time.
-Hi. Nice to meet you. My name's Kierra. -Nice to meet you. Bennett.
-It's nice to see you. Doing good. -[Scotty] Good.
So, um, got a few answers for you.
You asked, where did the bite occur in the house?
And it actually happened in the family room.
-This room, basically. -Okay, so I guess I'll be in the basement.
[Scotty] I apologize. He's my cousin-in-law, and kind of a baby.
[chuckling] I got you. Sorry. Um…
So right here in the sitting area.
He said he was attending to the fireplace right here.
And that-- that's when he felt, like, a large sting on his chest.
This one here? Whoa, jeez.
-This one here? -Kind of bright. Okay. Uh, wow.
-This one. -[Scotty] Here?
-[Kierra] Yep. -[Scotty] Okay.
-Yeah. -I'll check it out.
There's a little bit of, uh…
-Little bit of webbing here. -[Kierra] Yeah, yeah.
I do see some evidence of infestation here.
-You do? -There's something. It's like…
I don't know if it's a--
[grunts] Uh…
-Oh! Yeah. -[June gasps]
-Oh, my God. -Oh, my goodness.
[Scotty] That's not good. Yeah.
-The webbing. -[June gasps]
[Kierra chuckles] Eww. I'm sorry.
[Scotty] It's okay. Are you…
-No, I'm not too… too bad with it. -[Scotty] Okay.
He got him. He got him good.
-[June] I know. -[Scotty] Yeah.
-He got him good. -[Scotty] Yeah. So… um…
[Gaten] Okay, stand by.
Let's have Scotty discover the crate.
What is this?
Oh, you know what? He has been pulling a lot of the exhibits out,
so that's probably where he was working.
He does, um, have artifacts that he obtains,
puts in the museum.
And I believe, like, the most recent ones came from, like, Chile?
-So that's from Chile? -I believe so.
Bennett, will you help me open this?
Is that a spider right there?
We might've found what bit the gentleman.
He's the culprit.
Yeah. Oh, God. Oh, be careful.
-You want something to poke it with? -[Scotty] You have something?
-Grab-- -[June] Good idea.
-[Scotty] Thanks. -Yeah.
It's… Okay. Yeah.
-[Kierra laughs] -[Scotty] Sorry.
-Yeah. -You've got this!
Yep. Well, he's dead.
It does appear to be from South America.
I believe it's a Chilean Homewrecker.
A Chilean Homewrecker?
Or it could be a Bolivian Goliath.
So we're gonna put a lid on it.
We'll leave this…
Are you sure that's secure?
-What? -So we're just gonna…
We're gonna leave the spider in the box?
Yeah, well, it's deceased.
-So we'll leave it there. -Okay.
I'm sure there's more. We need to find and eliminate the nest.
Everybody sit down.
-Let's get a game plan. -[Kierra] So.
So what I would love to do, if possible…
Could… could we eyeball the bite,
so I can see what we're dealing with?
It probably would be best for you to check it out.
[Scotty] Right.
[June] Okay. Okay…
Come on.
Let's all go in.
-[Scotty] We'll follow you. -Like we say, he's really exhausted,
so just try to, like, be…
-Like, just don't be a lot. -Right.
[June] Mr. Timms?
-Mr. Timms? -[Mr. Timms grunts]
[Kierra] Mr. Timms, we have the exterminators here with us.
-[Mr. Timms] Good. -Would you mind showing the exterminators,
so they can get a look?
Of course.
[suspenseful music playing]
Okay, all right. I think-- I think we got it.
I think we got it. Thank you. Thank-- Thank you, Mr.-- uh, sir.
Thank you, Mr. Timms.
-I think we-- I think-- -You got it?
Yeah. We're gonna discuss.
Okay, Mr. Timms, sorry for that last interruption.
-Kierra, you're wonderful. -Oh, it's fine.
You try to get some rest.
What the fuck was that?
-All right, let's just sit down. -What is it?
So, um, I think the next 15 minutes are extremely critical
-for his health. -Oh, wow.
-Oh, wow. Okay, yeah. -Okay?
I've-- I'm gonna go grab some stuff from the truck really quick.
I'll be right back, okay?
-Okay? -[June] Right. Okay.
[Scotty] All right, stay here, okay?
[June] Sounds good.
[door opens]
Wait. If the next 15 minutes are critical to his life, shouldn't we call… emergency?
-I'm so confused. -[June] Yeah.
Wait. Hold on. If the next 15 minutes
-are critical, we should probably… -[June] Yeah. But we should probably… He…
Uh… We should wait for him, though, right?
-He knows what to say. -[door closes]
All right.
Here we go.
So who can take notes? You wanna take notes?
Okay.
Okay. Here's what I need. You're gonna call 9-1-1.
You're gonna ask for Poison Control.
-Okay? -Yeah, I got it.
-Describe the bite. -Okay.
Because what I need you to find out for me is what antidote.
-Yeah. -I have several with me.
So once they tell you, come get me.
'Cause I gotta go in that room. I'm gonna take some air samples,
and I'm gonna sort of disinfect the area.
But as soon as you get that, come to me, okay?
Don't hesitate, okay?
-[June] Okay. I'll call. -I'll call 9-1-1.
-Check your notes. -Bennett, got the information?
-Yes. Okay. -Okay.
All right. Get ready for the call.
[phone ringing]
Hi, we need to, uh, speak to Poison Control, please.
-[man] Poison Control. How can I help you? -Okay, please listen closely.
We have a man,
and, basically, he's gotten bit by either a Chi-- Chilean Homewrecker,
or a Bolivian Goliath spider.
We don't know which one, but it's possibly one of those two.
-[vacuum whirring] -All right.
Would you describe the patient as feverish?
-[vacuum stops] -Yes…
So, sir, we actually do have, um, exterminators here,
so we have a multitude of antidotes,
but we just need to know which one to treat for the Chilean…
-Oh, you have antidotes? …Homewrecker.
Yes. We had, like, a 15-minute ETA
for when things were gonna go bad.
Give me a moment.
[Scotty gasping]
[crashing]
[Bennett] What the fuck was that?
[Kierra] Scotty!
[June] Okay, all right. Let's go tell…
[Gaten] Okay, everyone stand by. This is it. Get ready.
Oh, my gosh.
Where is he?
Okay, come on.
Let's go. Come on, guys.
-Wait, June. June, June, June, June. -Should we not?
-Let's go. -[Kierra] Okay.
-Why was there a spider web? -Will you come with me?
-I need you. I don't know the names. -How did web get here? Okay.
I'll go with you. We'll go together. We'll be fine.
Okay. [sighs]
Mr. Timms?
Mr. Timm--
-[wheezes] -[screams]
-[Scotty groaning] -[June gasping]
-[grunting] -[June] Oh, my God! Oh, my God!
[snarling and hissing]
[screaming]
[yelling]
[snarls]
[Kunal] Bennett!
Hey! Hey! Bennett!
Come back!
Bennett!
Ooh! He's making a run for it.
We have a runner. We have a runner!
[hisses]
-Oh! -[growling]
[roaring]
Oh, shit!
[shrieks]
[sobbing] Oh, shit! Oh, shit!
I need to get out of here!
-Help! -[June screams]
Help! Help! Come here!
-[screaming] -Come here! Please help!
We need to get Bennett back in the house.
Kunal, do whatever you can to get Bennett back in the house.
Bennett!
Wait, wait, wait, wait! Hey! Bennett!
It's an emergency!
Come back! Come back! We need you! I need your help.
Come on, come on! I need your help!
I need your help!
Okay. Okay. I'm going in. I'm going in.
I can't move.
[Kunal] Quick, quick, quick!
-[June] Come here, quick! -Bennett!
I'm here.
-Quick! -Bennett… help me. Please.
[roaring]
[Bennett screams]
Oh, shit! Oh, no!
[snarling]
[screaming]
[yelling]
[Bennett gasping]
-[Kierra sobbing] -What's goin' on?
-Have no clue. -You good?
-No. I got spiders on me. -Are you good?
[groaning] Uh-huh…
I can explain what's goin' on here.
You're on my show, Prank Encounters.
[laughing]
Yay! But Dave actually has spiders on him.
[Dave] Yeah. Careful.
-So, are you freaking out right now? -I'm good. I'm okay right now.
-What's up, dude? -Yo, what's up?
-I knew you were running! -It's crazy.
-I was at the gate. I was at the gate! -[laughter]
Well, you are officially the fastest person
that we've had on Prank Encounters so far! [laughing]
I-- I pushed her out the way,
went into that room and shut the doors on her.
I shut the doors right on her!
-Y'all are not in on this? -Like--
-I'm not in on it. -Oh, no, no, no, no, no.
You two were the only two that are not in on it.
-Both of you are being pranked today. -Sweet.
[giggles]
You're the stars of Prank Encounters! We got one fighter and we got one runner.
Give yourselves a round of applause. We got a fight and flight today.
Oh, my goodness, I can't believe it.
