Most likely both knowing the identity of the mole in their midst, the remaining two contestants try to thwart that mole so they may succeed in their last chances to earn money for the pot. The pressure is amped to the max in a challenge that requires the contestants to defuse a bomb in order to add $50,000 to the pot. The contestants are offered a chance to look at the mole's dossier. The nerve-wracking final quiz determines who wins the money, who is the runner-up and who is the mole.
