Previously on The Traitors —

a mission meant to unify...

-Come on, guys. -What would Brodie be saying?

- Crossed the line, guys. We've done the most work. - Thank you.

...threatened to break the faithful apart.

-Everyone crossed the line. What the hell? -No, we had an agreement.

We all just worked our arse off.

What the (BLEEP), everyone?!

I felt like Brooke really shit the bed on that, eh?

...and landed their strongest player

in hot water...

-I'm a faithful. -(BLEEP).

- I'm sorry. - Goodbye, Fili. It's time to leave the game.

...leading the traitors to plot their wildest move yet.

Did we choose to seduce,

-and who? -Robbie.

I mean, no one is gonna see this coming.

(SIGHING)

(SIGHS)

I'm, obviously...

pretty tempted to become a traitor.

I feel like I'm kind of...

you know, being portrayed that way anyway.

It is taking way too long.

She has to say yes.

The only pleasure I would get out of staying as a faithful,

at this point, is being able to say, I am a faithful, you know,

despite everything you've thought.

Whereas I guess if I leave now...

um, I'd have to say I was a traitor,

which they've believed all along.

(TENSE MUSIC)

(FOOTSTEPS APPROACH)

(BOTH LAUGH)

My babies! (LAUGHS)

(GASPS) Oh, I'm so happy it's you guys!

-Who were you expecting? -I tell you, it's, like,

it was such an exciting move that I don't think anyone will expect.

It's very, very cool. And just welcome to the conclave.

This is our little hive.

Hey, um, my only concern is that,

like, I think I'm up for banishment. Am I brought in here to be...

banished?

(GENTLE MUSIC)

# Each night, I wake up feeling lost,

# swallowed by the dark till I'm gone,

# haunted by the words you once said.

# I know you won't even think twice.

# Why look behind?

# Cos what could I really do? #

-(LAUGHS) -Oh wow!

-Whoo! Wowee. -Is this like winning a mission,

getting first to breakfast?

I've never done this before. Look at this.

We can take all the good food for ourselves.

Take all the good food for ourselves.

- During the barrel challenge, Brooke kind of effed me over during that one.

I have forgiven him for that.

Can I just quickly say, I 100% know that you're a faithful.

I really appreciate that. Thank you so much.

We are at day six.

Not one person has asked me if I'm a traitor.

One, two, three, four, five, six,

seven, eight, nine, 10, 11.

That would immediately say that seduction...

or less likely, they tried to murder,

and they hit the shield.

-Which seems very unlikely. -Yeah, surely they didn't do that.

-That's insane. -That is a foolish,

foolish move.

(BOTH CHEER)

-Oh wow! How are you? -Hello! Hi there.

-Hi. Shit, I thought we were gonna be last or something. -Yeah.

-I just had that vibe. -We did as well.

-I love going into the breakfasts. -I love seeing...

everyone who survived, and I love, potentially,

looking at everyone and working out who's villainous.

What would you call this, as an item?

-It's a shawl. -OK. It's a shawl? -Yeah.

My strategy, as it has been for the last three days,

a clean slate — observe.

-There are 11 seats. -That would mean there's no...

-It means a seduction, rather than a... -Oh shit.

-Yeah. -So, OK.

We're pretty confident that a faithful was seduced last night.

Now we're wondering, uh,

who's the seduction?

I don't know who it could be. It could be...

any of them.

-(ALL GASP) -ALL: Oh!

-Welcome! -Welcome, Robbie. -She is here.

-How are you? -We're very happy to see you, Robbie.

-Yeah. -I feel like I'm, kind of, like, last.

-(CHUCKLES) -Oh, my God.

My personal strategy is, obviously,

to align with Brooke and Dan,

but the only other thought I have is

that Brooke and Dan have got me in as a traitor,

so that if I do get banished tonight...

it will make everyone think that they were right all along,

potentially could take the heat off them.

I'm not a hundred percent — 98% sure Anna is a faithful.

(TUTS) I'm a hundred percent sure Sam is a faithful.

-Yeah. -And then I... But Dan is —

— and, you know, I know Dan better than anyone here —

Dan is sitting at, like, 60% to 70% max for me,

-but I— -That's low.

You know, I pointed out to you that other people have pointed out to me

how tight you two are.

-I mean, that was worse. -No, and then we had a discussion.

You said, 'Yeah, that's wise. That's great. I'll distance myself.'

You haven't done that at all.

I'm worried about Colin.

This is someone that has grown up in the world of male modelling,

and I can't think of a more duplicitous vocation.

These guys are going at each other all the time.

So while you may think it shouldn't be too hard to outsmart a male model, you'd be wrong.

You know what? Justine.

-Nobody's looked at Justine. -I know Justine better than anyone here,

and she has been so consistent.

-(CHEERING) -Yes!

Oh yes!

We just said Justine three times, and then bam, you appeared.

-Really? -Boogieman. Yeah.

I'm so happy you're here.

-Who have we got left? -Oh, we're waiting.

We're waiting for Dylan...

Dan and, uh...

-and Vanda. -12 people. -BOTH: No one's gone.

-OK. -So someone's been seduced.

(CHEERING)

BOTH: Yay!

(LAUGHS)

Yeah, walking into breakfast, I try to keep it low-key,

like I always do.

So good to see you, buddy.

One thing I notice is that Robbie has a new confidence about her.

Hands up if you're a traitor.

-(LAUGHS) Oh! -Oh, sorry. I was getting a coffee.

(LAUGHTER)

She doesn't seem to show any remnants of, you know,

the personal attack that happened to her earlier in the game.

I noticed this, but I'm not sure if anyone else has.

Do you know, I honestly think you two are gonna end up being

-two great mates, Robbie and Colin. -Who? Oh, no, we are. -We already are.

-We are. -We are. -Yeah.

So, guys, who's left?

-BOTH: Anna and Dylan. -Anna and Dylan.

-Oh shit. -And there's two settings. -OK.

(CHEERING)

-Who's not here? -Good to see you. -Just Dylan so far.

I am so pumped to still be here.

I feel like they've seduced someone

and someone's become a traitor. Damn you.

-Hey, did you have a shield? -No. Did you? -(GASPS) No, none of us did.

-Enjoy having the shield? -Guess who had the shield?

-Oh, it must have been Fili. -Fili. -Fili must have had the shield.

So, if you didn't have a shield,

that means that it wasn't...

even an attempted murder last night; means it was definitely a seduction.

Is this too shady a question?

If you had a seduction,

would you take it? Who would take it?

-I would have to decide. -Now?

That's why I was wondering when you get it, you know?

You know, before I came to the game, I would have been going,

'Yes, I'll jump on that to switch to being a traitor.'

But I think now invariably your behaviour would change.

It's a really confusing, baffling,

intense roller coaster.

It's a pretty awesome — if you are keen on winning the game —

it's a pretty awesome move, because half of the game,

-you've been the best actor of all, cos you've been telling the truth. -Yeah, that's right.

-Look! -Hey! -BOTH: Oh!

-Whoo! -(APPLAUSE, CHEERING) -No murder! No murder!

-Yay! -(CHEERING, APPLAUSE) -Not again!

-No murder! No murder! -No murder! Oh, seduction. Damn it.

-Everyone at the table. -Oh, we're all here? -We're all here.

I feel like I keep coming in each day,

just completely baffled.

I wanna go back to my room at night and figure out

who are the definite suspects.

And I try, and I just confuse myself.

-Did anyone get seduced last night? -BOTH: And say no?

-And look him in the eyes when you answer. -Or and say yes.

-Or say yes. Yeah. Oh, yeah, that's better. That's better. -I mean, that would make it easier.

-Yeah. -Yeah, hey, let's just save some time,

yeah.

CHUCKLES: Yeah.

(TINKLY MUSIC)

(MUSIC CONTINUES)

-(LAUGHTER) -(LAUGHS)

-Ooh! Ooh. -Ooh. -Morning, all.

Well, almost all.

Dear, sweet Fili.

A faithful...

arguably the nicest player among you...

tossed aside like an old rag...

banished. Based on what?

Beware a herd mentality, people.

It can lead to poor outcomes.

Anyhoo, time marches on —

another day, another mission.

I'll need you in three teams.

Sort yourselves out, and I'll see you anon.

What do you know about sheep?

(DRAMATIC MUSIC)

(TINKLY MUSIC)

- There must have been a seduction, and a seduction happens when there is,

-what, two traitors? -Yeah. -So there are now three again.

So we're now back at three traitors, which is amazing,

-cos that means a quarter, no, less than, how many are left? 11? -There are 11 of us.

-Oh great (!) More than a quarter of us are traitors. -So more than a quarter.

Which means, you know, numerically

-at least one of us around this table is. -Yeah.

I think Dylan is a risk.

He is playing such a good and intelligent game that I think he

could deduce eventually that I am a traitor.

90% of the time, everyone in this game is playing as faithful.

It's only that 10% of the time, or whatever it is,

that they spend in the conclave, choosing who to murder,

that they're actually being traitors.

Dan is a quiet player.

I wonder sometimes if that, sort of, 'quiet,

'stand at the sidelines and just throw in a little comment here and there'

approach is a good way to play as a traitor.

I think maybe it's the way I would play.

I think if you were a traitor, after all we've been through with Robbie,

it wouldn't be a bad idea to seduce Robbie to join you.

-And I think she'd enjoy it, the power. -I don't know;

I think it could break her, at this point.

(WHOOSH!)

Yeah, you did.

I think there's more than one traitor at the table at any time,

so we need to be dropping other names in there.

Kings has a question mark over his name,

because my gut tells me that

he's not cleared and a faithful.

But what you're saying now, Kings, you guys are getting a read on him,

that moves him over to you think we can actually banish him?

- I think I'm gonna find it hard to vote for Kings, cos he's so nice, and I just get on with him.

But with that little time we've got left, and at the round table,

I'm just gonna have to have my eyes and my ears open.

(CICADAS CHIRR)

-Yeah. -OK.

-WHISPERS: Shh. -(CHUCKLES)

(BIRDSONG)

(SNEAKY MUSIC)

- I've looked at everyone, and I go, 'I don't think any of you are traitors.'

Do you reckon — is there a possibility that there's

some sort of administrative error and there are no traitors?

(LAUGHTER)

So, if you guys were going into that roundtable right now,

is it an easy name or is it—?

-No. -I don't have an easy name. -No, I don't have an easy name.

We just need to pick off one person tonight.

And I think that person will be someone...

more under the radar.

I'm in this car with Robbie. You know,

she definitely has a new lease on life.

I thought there would be a strong personality,

a softer personality, with, like, Loryn. We got that — do you know what I mean?

-BOTH: Yeah. -Totally.

-She's a lot more chatty. -She has a lot to say —

possibly too much to say.

But I still think there's that middle one,

that's more of an under-the-radar person.

I try to focus the chat in the car on,

you know, who do we factually wanna look at?

You guys who are in the chat that's kind of brought

Kings to the, you know, top —

what's the reasoning?

(SIGHS) That he'd be...

-It would be amazing. -Yeah.

That everyone — he's probably one of the most popular dudes here.

-Totally. -Yeah. -If he is a traitor,

I don't think he would like the lying and that.

-Yeah. -Would you go Julia over Robbie?

-I'm really stuck on Robbie. -That is where I'm stuck.

I'm so stuck on Robbie, man.

Every time you watch a game when you're at home, you think, like, 'Oh,

'that's easy.' Like, 'Oh, you just do that. You just do that.'

But being in it, it's so different.

Like almost everyone in here,

if Robbie got up there and said she was a traitor, though,

I would be very surprised.

(SUSPENSEFUL MUSIC)

-Oh my gosh. -Hey!

So, we pull up to Sheep World.

It's this massive farm full of sheep.

-There's a sheep with your name on it, Brooke. -Oh wow.

Oh, there I am.

People think I'm a city boy, but the British side of my family,

they're from Taumarunui,

so we used to spend our winters chasing the sheep.

Oh, they're so cute!

Greetings, and welcome to my back paddock.

Your prize fund currently stands at $21,600.

Let's see what you can add to that today.

I need each team to nominate someone to enter the sheep pen.

Said person should have an eye and an ear for detail,

because today's mission is about two things —

observation and communication.

And after the debacle at the last mission,

I have some serious concerns.

I'm sure you all do too.

Today, you are taking part in an identity parade...

for sheep. I know —

genius.

You in the pen will need to identify

one of the sheep

-from a description provided by your teammates. -(LAUGHS)

The teammates will get all the information they need from the

sheep's mugshot.

Each team is searching for the same sheep.

The fastest to correctly identify the sheep's name

and pin the right rosette to the mugshot wins.

For every correctly identified sheep,

$2500 will be added to the prize fund.

And we're completing three rounds.

The most successful team gets into my armoury,

and I'm picking that could be very beneficial today.

Feeling really highly charged, lots of emotion.

I'm finding it really hard being away from my family.

I love them very much. I'm missing my husband.

I've never not spoken to him or them for this amount of time.

So I need a win, and I need in that armoury,

and then I need to choose the shield.

-This is delicious. -Juicier than a Sunday roast.

(LAUGHTER)

- Now I know what the shield is capable of and what the armoury is capable of doing,

in terms of protection, that's definitely what I want.

Right. Players, follow me.

I think it's so great, the potential to get a shield,

because every night, when I'm soaking in the bath,

I'm thinking, 'This could be it. This could be the night.'

OK, we're all ready to start round one, and...

(BLOWS WHISTLE)

Oh! Little eyes and black face, black legs.

I reckon Brooke and Dylan are the most analytical in the whole game.

A little white line across the top of here. Yeah.

- I think we've got a good shot at this if they can communicate properly.

Oh my God. This is definitely full on, isn't it?

-Little black high-heel leg! -Would go well with rice and naan.

-(BAAING) -It looks like Colin,

but it's got a little white streak across its forehead.

They seemed to have missed the memo on how describing things work.

First thing I get is,

'Your sheep looks like Colin,

'but has a white thing on its head.'

It's got black legs, black legs!

-Black legs? -White body, black legs,

little white stripe on the forehead!

-Hustle! -(BAAING)

We had made a game plan.

My voice apparently carries the loudest — no surprises there,

and everyone could hear it very clearly in the field.

Anna! Anna! Anna!

Anna! (PANTS)

Go! It's than one! It's that one!

-Go. Ring it. Ring it. -(LAUGHS)

(LAUGHS)

Wow. We screwed that up.

It turns out analytics doesn't mean shit in this competition.

Right, teams, that's the end of round one.

Red team, you rang the bell first.

Who do you think is the sheep we're looking for?

We've got Anna.

Congratulations to the red team.

-It was, in fact, Anna. -(CHEERING)

You now have one point and have added

$2500 to the prize fund.

Round two will begin when I blow my whistle.

But, first of all,

I'm gonna make it slightly harder by increasing my flock

by two traitor sheep.

-Oh my God. It's the traitor sheep. -Hello!

I think it's so cute.

Good luck, teams. (BLOWS WHISTLE)

OK. Oh shit. OK. OK.

Um, white down his face, with a little bit of edge around it.

OK! Black all down the side,

white mohawk. Brown all down the side.

-Brown. -Brown. -White and white on the chest.

So, part of the challenge of this mission is not shouting out a name

so loud that one of the other teams is gonna hear it and just steal your thunder.

I think it's me! It's me!

So I'm standing on the field pointing myself, 'Me, me, it's me!'

And my team is just not getting it.

-What? -Brown body, two white stripes.

Round two, I'm one of the callers.

-Big white stripe down the middle of the face! -Yellow tag on leg!

-Justine is out there. -She's incredible.

She picks off the sheep from what we've told her.

- Dylan. - It's white! It's only the only white one!

Boom, we get Dylan's name up on the board.

Ring the bell, ring the bell, ring the bell.

-(BELL RINGS) -What?!

- I can't get too upset about it, but I really wish they'd got what I was trying to convey.

Didn't seem complicated.

Right. So the blue team have rung their little wee bell,

which would be incredible if this was right, Justine.

Who do you think the second sheep is?

-My boy, Dylan. -Your boy Dylan?

-Yeah. -Is correct. -Oh no.

-(CHEERING) -Well done. That's great! -That's one point

and another $2500 added to the prize fund.

I need to find better teams for my missions.

-We got our arse handed to us. -Yeah, yeah, yeah.

-Oh man. We need to get this... -Very quickly.

...in order to get in the running for the armoury or...

you or me tonight, probably.

(DRAMATIC MUSIC)

(CONTEMPLATIVE MUSIC)

All right, teams. So, there's been some victory for the red team,

some victory for the blue team.

The orange team will be hoping for some victory in round three.

And I'm gonna make it slightly harder again,

by increasing my flock by another two traitor sheep.

-The armoury really motivates me. -As long as I've got the shield,

there's a reason why I'm not being murdered.

Me not getting murdered is kind of suspicious.

-(BLOWS WHISTLE) -Let's go.

White! White sheep! White!

-White with a black spot on his ear! -White! -White,

with a black spot on his ear! Yellow tag in right ear!

It is down to the wire. We are one for one with the blue team.

Right ear! Yellow tag, white face! White everything!

- Robbie is our herder — it would be great for her to perform really well in this mission.

Someone get ready to grab the thing.

-Black spot, left ear! -Black spot. Ooh.

- Once they just started to scatter, I just was lucky enough that the right sheep,

sort of, presented itself.

Sam! Sam!

-Quickly, quickly, quickly. -Go!

(BELL RINGS)

-(BELL RINGS) -So,

the blue team have rung their bell for the first time again, everybody.

But are they right? Who do you think is the third sheep?

We think it is Sam S —

me!

If we won this, it's crazy.

And I believe you've added now $7500 to the prize fund.

(CHEERING)

-(CHEERING) -Who said I don't know things?

Congratulations to the blue team...

-Oh my God. -...who will all get into the armoury.

Ooh! We all get into the armoury.

-We've won the mission. -I've access to the armoury.

If I can win that shield, I can now play this angle,

that I can sleep well because I know I'm not gonna get murdered.

-Good work, guys. Good work. Congratulations. -Thank you.

At some point in time, soon,

if I'm losing these missions,

someone's gonna say, 'Why isn't Brock getting murdered?'

I need to find some people that can carry me into that armoury.

-Good work. -Thank you. -Thank you.

The mission today was amazing.

It literally has been my best day here ever.

Like, I've really enjoyed it.

Well done, all of you.

You did it. Now, however,

it's time to face the wolves in sheep's clothing at the round table,

where this evening, you will once again attempt to banish a traitor.

I'll see you at the lodge. I smell mint sauce.

-I wonder who's for dinner. -(LAUGHTER)

(DRAMATIC MUSIC)

Do you think there's cross hairs on Kings at the banishment table?

So, there's been a movement today towards you, Kings.

-Ooh. -Why is that? -Yeah. I don't even understand it.

-Were you not a part of any of those conversations? -I've not heard any of this.

- Anna's banging her drum. I think you've got a pretty big challenge tonight, man,

because she is (BLEEP) campaigning, right? And, you know,

I think Julia's probably also looking to get some heat off of her,

-cos I would have thought— -I think she knows she's got heat on her.

I've kind of voted for her twice.

It could be, like, just... not a revenge plot, but just, like,

getting, throwing my name out because I've thrown her name out kind of thing.

-Kings voted for me twice. -Yeah. Yeah.

I don't actually think Julia's a traitor,

but I do have to be wary of what's gonna happen tonight.

(DRAMATIC MUSIC)

-You're gonna go Kings? -Yeah, cos he's always been, like,

he's been on me from day one, so I have to get to do it.

And Robbie's up there, but she's not...

she hasn't been as high, so I would happily go for her tomorrow,

if it's not today.

On the car ride, I had a really challenging

argument going on in my head,

as to who is tactically better to keep in the game for longer.

-It has to go Kings or Robbie, right? -Yeah.

Thinking that it's a good idea to banish Robbie,

instead of Kings.

- Basically we're saying that we think that they both could potentially be traitors.

-That's what I'm saying. -If Kings is,

then he might be more of the head traitor,

and Robbie is like someone you could take out afterwards.

Whereas Kings, if we took out Robbie tonight,

-Kings could seduce and, you know, change his game a bit more. -Yeah.

I don't know.

So, here's the next thing — if the traitors are getting on,

then they actually... you only need five votes, basically, to get someone off.

I've ridden in a car with Kings and spent some time with him,

but with Brooke, it's new.

- So the traitors are communicating and they can get two other people on board,

-they can wrestle some control, right? -Yeah.

He's a strong personality, and he pushes hard.

Maybe that was good at the beginning of the game,

but now it does make me suspicious.

I wanna test Robbie, and I'm not gonna give a vote to someone random.

So let's say that I can convince Dan because he—

if he's neutral on Robbie and you, and I can go, 'Go, Robbie.'

-Right. I still think it's Robbie. -And if we in this car can convince you...

I just wanna throw this out there.

What you're saying about the traitors, you know,

being able to work together to recruit just a couple of other people,

and then they can control the round table —

-Yeah. -...you're, like... legitimately,

you're doing that for Robbie right now.

I think with the numbers the way they are, it's in the traitors' favour

to try and push for a single

candidate for elimination.

How do I tell that your...

your pushing for Robbie is not the same as the traitors

all together pushing for Robbie? How am I supposed to know? - Totally. Totally.

-And I absolutely agree. -Yeah.

Dylan is an incredibly strong player.

He's super-smart. I think he needs to be gone from the game,

cos he could spark some pretty dangerous ideas.

(DRAMATIC MUSIC)

Man, I'm so excited that we get to go to the armoury.

I know.

(GENTLE PIANO MUSIC)

-So do we choose an order? -Is that how it works?

You choose, Sam. We feel like you missed out on the choices yesterday.

BOTH: Yeah.

- Oh, thank you. That's really nice. Just do alphabetical, cos, like, I don't—

Mathematically, it doesn't matter.

OK, but before, we all agree,

-we're not telling each other who gets it. -Yes.

-Are we not telling each other? -We're not telling each other. -No.

-Protect all of each other. -Absolutely. -BOTH: Yeah.

- Just in case. - Then share at breakfast. Share at breakfast.

-OK, great. -Let's go. -Go, my friend.

-Good luck, Dan. -OK. -Yeah.

-Luck, Dan. -Good luck, but leave it for me.

(SUSPENSEFUL MUSIC)

I mean, this is the third time I've got armoury,

and I'm a traitor. I mean,

it couldn't really get any better than that.

I really wanna get this shield.

I wanna see what it looks like. You know, I wanna hold it and go,

'You know, I've earned this.'

It is empty. I'm 0 at 3 on boxing.

Ooh.

Spooky.

I try and be calm and think and feel which box it is.

But, of course, being impulsive Jussi,

I just quickly open one.

I don't get the shield, but I get

the protection of knowing that

people know I've been in there.

OK, here we go.

WHISPERS: Oh God. Second time round.

I'm gonna go for the same box that I won that last time.

I was a little bit gutted. I just,

yeah, really wanted it for somebody else.

I wish I could put this in the box for Sam.

- I'm so excited to go to the armoury. I've never been there before.

(DRAMATIC MUSIC)

WHISPERS: Amazing.

(SIGHS)

WHISPERS: Right.

I don't have the shield, but that's OK, cos we've got safety in numbers.

None of us are telling, um, each other who's...

who's got the shield.

(TENSE MUSIC)

- Throughout the period of this game, we're all gonna look like idiots multiple times.

I believe we have three traitors right now, probably.

-And there are only 11 of us. -Yeah.

- Honestly, my mind is discombobulated. Is that a word? (CHUCKLES)

Oh (BLEEP). Do you see this predicament that I'm in?

They've all been saying the same thing over and over again.

-Like, I just need to test the waters and open it up. -Yeah.

-Cos we have — we've been so zoned in on this. -Yes.

Brooke said that he was speaking

to the group earlier this morning and that my name had come up.

We've only got a limited amount of time before the round table,

So I kind of just ran around each group as fast as I could,

just being, like, 'I'm a faithful — I don't have much time, but all I can say is I'm a faithful.'

I also am a faithful.

But, I mean, I'm faithful.

You gotta pick someone, at the end of the day, you know what I mean?

And it's getting to the point that it's not easy.

- I'd be gutted to go tonight. You're gonna waste your vote if you vote for me —

that's my message. I'm just going through every room and doing that.

I hope that the faithful believe that I'm a faithful,

because I am.

The round table, every time, gets harder and harder and harder.

You know, you're on a knife edge, basically.

Tonight it's gonna be a split vote, I feel.

It's gonna be 50/50 on who's gonna go,

whether or not it will be Kings or whether or not it will be Robbie.

(DRAMATIC MUSIC)

I feel good about getting Robbie's name on the slate.

I am still a little bit worried...

on her reactions, what she will do,

how she could potentially expose one of us.

(DRAMATIC MUSIC)

(MUSIC CRESCENDOES)

Welcome back to the round table.

What a pleasant day we had out in the country today!

$7500 —

your best day yet —

bringing the grand total to $29,100.

(TENSE MUSIC)

Perhaps now is a good time to remind you...

that if a traitor or traitors remain at the end of this game,

they take it all —

everything.

Look around you.

There are fewer places to hide.

If you remain quiet, it will be much,

much more obvious.

Don't let silence end your game.

Who would like to begin?

(TENSE MUSIC)

I'm gonna start by saying that Kings,

I know that you know that your name was tossed around.

No one really wants to vote for you.

So, like...

Yeah. The floor is mine, eh?

-Yeah, I guess so, buddy. -Yeah. Um...

what's the best way to do this?

I think the hardest thing, being a faithful and trying to defend yourself,

is, like, over-defending yourself.

I guess what...

what I'd like to know is where the rumour started,

perhaps, to help.

-I'm not sure. I think it was a just a general thing of... -General.

-...trying to work out who would make a really good traitor... -Yeah, true.

...who we wouldn't necessarily suspect.

Right.

I don't know if that's a good enough

reason to put me on the chopping block.

For the love of the faithful team

and not wanting you to waste your vote

is all I have to go on,

in terms of defence.

I believe I'm an asset to the team.

I should say that. That's how I feel.

I thought the I'm an asset to the team,

you don't wanna lose me? No one cares if you're an asset.

No one's an asset.

I think perhaps the reason it's difficult for you

to defend yourself is that there isn't — or at least I haven't heard —

any clear...

reason to suspect you.

- Dan, what do you think? Sorry — you've being pretty— you're quite quiet, usually.

Personally, I don't have anything that I would consider

valuable enough to put Kings down.

I'm still fairly torn at the moment.

I still think, you know, that for my kind of integrity vote or whatever,

it has to be something that is out of the normal, for me.

The Fili, Robbie situation still bugs me...

because that's not resolved.

I came in here last night, and I wrote Fili's name down,

largely because of the...

conflict that happened at the table

and a conflict about whether something happened

or did not happen.

And Fili was a faithful.

Which, unfortunately,

leaves a question in my mind toward you, Robbie.

- No, and I totally understand that. And I understood it last night. - Yeah.

-That's why I was so deflated when he went. -Yeah. Sure.

I suppose the only thing I can say is that he apologised

and said publicly, like, at the breakfast table, he was sorry.

He blew it up.

He admitted it and acknowledged it.

So, does that mean that when he blew it up,

it was all lies and smoke and mirrors here?

-I don't know. -I can't answer for him.

I think he was trying to push buttons, personally,

kind of, get me to explode or, you know, like,

to, kind of, fold.

That doesn't, sort of, feel like his nature.

-No. -It doesn't.

It may not, but that's the only thing —

that's the only reasoning I've got.

Everything else, I've owned,

but I categorically 100% deny saying that to him.

I categorically deny it.

It's definitely not the one thing that you've owned.

You denied saying, 'We murdered, ' in the car,

with Mike, Chris, myself,

-and... -We've had this conversation.

-I don't know. -I'll just stop you right there.

I know everyone's, like, 'We need to look at this with fresh eyes.'

This game has been on since day one.

The traitors have been playing since day one.

I was really 50/50 whether or not my vote would go to Kings,

but I actually think going with Robbie,

the signs are out there, I've known it for days —

I think it's time for her to go now.

-Brooke, Sam? -Yeah, Brooke, please say something.

Yeah.

I'm as confused as everybody else, in that...

I still haven't had any real signal

that could separate anyone from the pack.

But I said I'd vote for you, Robbie,

unless something happened today that was compelling.

I don't know what to say. I don't know what to say.

I just want you guys to know that, regardless,

I really care about you all.

- So, are there any other names we wanna get on the table, while we still can?

Quickly.

-Enough chatter. -Oh! (SIGHS)

-It's time to vote. -(SCOFFS)

Oh, my freaking God.

Who would you like to banish from the game?

Please write a name on your slate.

(SIGHS)

(DRAMATIC MUSIC)

(MUSIC CONTINUES)

Vanda, we'll start with you.

Please show us who you voted for and tell us why.

So, Robbie, I voted for you this evening...

-because of that big unresolved... -Mm-hm.

...issue between yourself and Fili.

-Colin. -I looked,

and looked hard, at all of you.

I spent more time away from a mirror than I've ever done.

(LAUGHTER)

And this person I chose...

I've become, you know, really good friends with.

But the unresolved argument meant I'm so sorry.

And I really hope you are a traitor,

Robbie.

Julia.

Um...

Robbie, I've really, really enjoyed your company.

It's been awesome getting to know you,

but really sorry — I had to vote for you tonight.

Three votes for you so far, Robbie.

-Justine. -(SIGHS)

I mean, boring, but same for me.

And I know Kings' name was thrown around today,

but it's not enough...

just to think someone would make a good traitor.

That's not enough. For me, there was nothing else on Kings.

-Robbie. -I'm just going back to type as well.

Julia. Um, just because she just can't seem to, sort of,

get over past stuff, you know?

Dan,

who did you vote for and why?

(SUSPENSEFUL MUSIC)

Robbie, I've also voted for you.

It's just too many question marks.

So I hope you're a traitor.

I've put Robbie on the slate.

She decides to just death stare me the whole way.

And then...

she winks at me.

I mean, if that doesn't bring suspicion on to me, everyone's an idiot.

Robbie's just dropped me in the shit.

(DRAMATIC MUSIC)

Dan, who did you vote for and why?

Robbie, I've also voted for you.

So five votes for you, Robbie.

One vote for you, Julia.

Dylan.

I've come in here twice and been confidently wrong.

I was confident about my vote for Mike,

and I was confident about my vote for Fili.

I'm not confident about my vote for you, Robbie,

um, and I'm not looking forward to,

-potentially, being unconfidently wrong. -(CHUCKLES)

So I hope I'm not.

Six votes for you, Robbie.

-Anna. -We've got it right, and we've got it wrong,

but there are more than one traitor at this table.

So I'm just throwing the net a little bit wider.

Kings.

Gosh, you're a great human, so it's nothing against you.

We're mates, mate.

(TENSE MUSIC)

Brooke.

Regardless if we're right or wrong...

it's just a shitty situation to be in.

Every day, we grow to care about each other more,

and every night, they ask us to throw someone under the bus,

and, um...

I'm so sorry. I really hope that...

we can spend time, after this crazy game,

together.

-Sam. -(SIGHS)

-I'm sorry, Robbie. -That's all right.

It's just all the little things that added up.

Kings, who have you voted for and why?

- Robbie, I feel for you — this is tough, like, to try to defend yourself.

You're like the itch I can't scratch.

Like you said, so many things that are, like, borderline traitor.

You've said some things that are, sort of, innocently faithful.

(SLATE CLATTERS)

And so it rests. Robbie, you have received the most votes.

You're banished from the game. Please come and join me.

(SIGHS)

Before you leave the game forever, Robbie,

please reveal whether you're a faithful...

or a traitor.

(SUSPENSEFUL MUSIC)

I have told you I am authentic,

100% —

but as a traitor. (CHEERING)

(CHEERING)

(CHEERING, APPLAUSE)

Oh my God.

Holy shit!

Oh!

Holy shit!

Oh my God!

-Oh, she's good! -She's good.

BOTH: She's so good!

Congratulations, faithfuls.

Another traitor banished.

This is an absolute roller coaster.

What you need, though, is to keep up this momentum.

The finish line is now in sight.

I'll spend the night watching my flock;

you'll spend the night watching your backs —

unless you had a successful trip to my armoury,

in which case, sleep tight.

I'll see you at breakfast.

As much as you love it when a plan comes together,

and the Robbie Plan really did come together,

it's still pretty painful. I mean, she's such an absolute legend of a lady.

But if you're gonna leave a game, do it in style.

And Robbie, we salute you.

May I just say that I was watching Robbie like a hawk,

and Robbie was staring Dan down when he put her name down,

and they were staring at each other. She kept looking at him the whole time.

- She put me out of my misery, though — you know, when I said her name, she looked at me,

and she winked at me, and it was, like, '(BLEEP), you're definitely a traitor, ' Like, you know, she...

she was just, like, 'Oh, you know, don't feel bad.' - (BOTH LAUGH)

I saw her — I thought she was looking at Paul Henry.

No. No. I'm sitting right opposite her eye line —

so she was staring him down.

Tomorrow's gonna be such a hard day for Dan,

and our job will be to

take out some of the ringleaders,

and then run some really strong distraction.

-Night, everyone. -Night-night! -See you in the morning.

Fingers crossed.

(CRICKETS CHIRR)

(SPOOKY MUSIC)

# Oh, dear friend,

# I know your secret,

# but I just can't keep it

# another night. #

WHISPERS: Wow.

Boy. Good and bad.

-Good and bad. -I agree. Good and bad.

- Did you see how much she was looking at you during the round table?

Not just that. Not just that.

Look, after I voted for her and said my piece,

she looked at me and winked at me.

Yeah, so, I mean...

not ideal.

She's just created a really, really difficult space

for me to now have to try to work my way out of.

That was the dynamite we were playing. But...

Obviously it's not ideal that she, like,

stared at me through the whole thing, and then winked at me.

Oh God.

Dan Sing is, like...

in everyone's sights.

I'm pretty sure Dylan saw that, but will Dylan see through it?

Cos he is smart enough to.

- Is he no shield? He's not in the shield group? - No shield.

Dylan, that dude is too smart.

And I feel like he is always,

like, eyes on me.

Anna sat me down to talk about you.

I think Justine is also unbelievably dangerous.

I think she needs to be in that list.

So either Dylan...

Anna...

or Justine.

One of them.

(DRAMATIC MUSIC)

Goodbye.

-(KNOCK AT DOOR) -Oh no.

Oh wow.

Next time —

Welcome to our conclave.

...an unexpected visitor...

-Are you serious? -...turns the game on its head.

-ALL: Whoa! -What?! Whoa, whoa, whoa, whoa, whoa, whoa, whoa.

-They've been murdered. -And a traitor fights for their life.

Did anyone see her wink at me yesterday?

I am not 100% confident that I'll

get through tonight's round table.

WHISPERS: Come on, Dan.
