Previously —

Welcome to The Traitors.

I'm just really happy to be here.

one Faithful was converted...

-Please. -Oh, thanks.

I was blackmailed. But you can't blackmail the willing. (LAUGHS)

...as another looked to shake up the game...

-I have a plan. -I wanna try something new.

Tonight, my friend, I'm gonna vote for you. (LAUGHS)

If he is a Traitor, though, I'm— I'm just screwed.

...but fell short.

The tricky thing now is that (SIGHS) I think Kings is a Traitor.

And when it came down to the vote...

- Vanda, if we're talking about out of character — today you were definitely

-not doing what you usually do. -Yup.

SAM: I really hope you're a Traitor.

...the Traitors remained

under the radar.

I'm a Faithful.

-(GROANS) -ANNA: Far out!

(SIGHS)

And despite cracks starting to form...

People, on your first day, jumped at you as hard— And me.

No. At me.

And your silence to me was deafening.

...they agreed to the most daring murder yet.

I'm gonna propose something that is insane.

We attempt to murder one of the shields.

-It's a very risky move, but— -No, I'm in.

Oh, I love it! It's so good!

Who...

of the two — Julia or Anna — Anna.

-are you picking? -It would have to be Anna.

I think she's the best Faithful in the game right now. I would like her to be gone.

She also didn't look all that happy when she left the armoury.

-Julia did. -My perspective...

-We've got Julia — ex-police person. -Yeah.

Analytical.

-Yeah. -Watching everyone like a hawk.

She's sharp.

I think that we have to pick wisely.

'Anna's a good friend of mine.'

But Brooke has a plan, and he's got a strategy.

What are you thinking?

So many things going through my mind.

You know, I'm trying to do the dance safely,

because I just don't trust him.

I think if we leave Kings and Julia,

they're gonna fight out whoever they wanna get rid of.

-Yeah. -We go for that, right?

Yeah. I think we'd be crazy not to take out Anna.

Hard to say.

-You want me to do the honours? -Oh, this is on you, my friend.

(CHUCKLES) It's not, but...

I will.

(INTENSE MUSIC)

-Voila. -Boy. It's not easy.

We are gonna try to murder Anna,

hope that Julia has a shield

and in the morning...

-they're gonna be breathless. -Mm.

-That's what we're gonna do. -So don't (BLEEP) it up.

(DARK TONE)

(ANTICIPATIVE MUSIC)

(BIRDSONG)

(MUSIC INTENSIFIES)

Oh.

(TUTS) Being first to breakfast... (DOORS CLOSE)

...is the worst.

This I thought would give me a good sleep, but absolutely it did not —

I woke up in the middle of the night again, and it's amazing how fast

your brain just goes to gameplay.

(SUSPENSEFUL MUSIC)

I really need to sort of see who's at breakfast this morning

for me to somewhat have an idea of where I should be going

or directing my thoughts.

Otherwise, the Traitors are winning this game.

Ah!

-SHRILLY: Oh! -(LAUGHS)

Oh my gosh.

-Hi. -Oh my God. How are we early?

But, my gosh...

-Hi. -Oh...

'The first person I see is Anna.'

Like, the first part of the plan is already starting to skew off.

-You're alive. -I've got the shield.

Oh my gosh.

Yes— Oh, yes, you—

-Of course you're alive. -Look.

Oh my God. Fancy.

-Mm. -Um...

I am really nervous about how I play this.

I need to be as confused as everybody else.

Where are we gonna sit? We sit down here?

-I'm sitting here, yeah. -You sit next to me.

-Holy hell in a handbasket. -I— That is...

That is so cool.

We knew that there was a big chance that Anna had the shield.

And now I've gotta sit at breakfast...

I know that we tried to murder her.

She's got the shield. She's kinda laughing. She has no idea that we tried to murder her.

-Well, it has to be— has to be Kings— -Yeah.

-Yes, 'course you can. -Good. OK, good.

Has to be Kings or Sam,

and I'm— I'll be sad to see them both go, but...

-What, you think Kings is gonna be murdered? -Or Sam.

-Why do you think it'll be Kings? -It can only be.

Well, if it's not me and it's not you guy— We've run out of people.

Colin.

Julia.

-I think— I think Colin's a Traitor, so I'd have to— -Do you?

Yeah, I think so. I mean, I think he's at the...

-nearing the top of the list. -Really?!

I have one person on my shortlist

for the Round Table tonight, and that's Colin.

I believe that he would double-cross me at the first opportunity.

Why would he not have been seduced

-or blackmailed by now? -I think Julia would've been

the perfect blackmail.

Julia — I hate saying this — would make an amazing person to blackmail

because she is a really 'good' Faithful.

(EXHALES, SPEAKS SOFTLY) Do you know what I mean? Like, we have...

-Hey! -(GASPS)

-I mean, we knew you were coming in, so it's not as... -Ahhhhh.

But it's nice to see you.

My eyes are on Anna.

I suspect that she's a Traitor because...

wanting to take out Kings and then not wanting to take out Kings...

- I found it weird that Kings said he was gonna vote for you then didn't vote for you,

and then there was that whole kerfuffle at the table between him and Colin.

BROOKE: Yesterday was weird across the board.

Now that I've had a bit of an emotional meltdown...

(SIGHS) I don't know. I just don't— I don't want it to be anyone.

We're yarning here, Julia, about what on earth to do.

-I think it's almost a guarantee. -Yeah.

Oh!

-Sam?! -Oh! -Oh, thank God.

-Oh! Oh! -What the...?!

We've just been writing your obituary. We were...

-I was as well. All day. -...100% sure that you were gone.

-So... good morning. -Good morning! (SQUEALS)

-A very good morning. -(MUFFLED) How are you feeling?

-Scratch the last 15 minutes of conversation. -Both...

Both of us are here.

It blows my mind that Brooke is there as well!

The fact that the two of us are here is crazy.

-It's— It has to be Colin. -It has to be Colin.

-Has to be. -Really?

Either Kings or Colin has been murdered, which...

completely changes the way I think about the game.

- Kings was the most likely to get banished tonight. Why would you murder him last night?

-He's most likely... -That's true.

-...to go, right? -That's true.

I don't know (CHUCKLES) whether there's been a mistake

or what's going on.

Kings or Colin. Kings or Colin.

My brain has hurt constantly (CHUCKLES)

throughout this entire thing.

- BROOKE: We just have to think ahead, if— especially if they're thinking ahead of us.

There's only one more person to come in this room.

That still blows my mind.

-SIGHS: Here. -Hey! -Oh!

-Oh, (BLEEP). -Oh no.

-It's Colin. -Another d— Colin? -JULIA: Oh, Colin!

-Sorry. (SNIFFLES) -It's Colin. Lost to fabulousness.

KINGS: Man.

It's Colin.

-Wow. -Oh, man.

'Suddenly, we think Colin's gone.'

-Bro, I'm... -You OK?

I'm (BLEEP)ing relieved,

-to be honest. -Yeah. Oh, man.

That's crazy to think, that he has been a Faithful all this time.

Cos he's a bit weird.

-(EXHALES) -KINGS: Yeah. Far out. -JULIA: Can't even...

-Oh, well. Then there were five. -SAM: And two of us Traitors.

-ANNA: Yup. -KINGS: Oh my gosh.

-(SIGHS) -KINGS: Nauseating.

And I know I just said two of us are Traitors;

-I mean two of you are Traitors. -KINGS: Yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah. -(LAUGHS)

-SAM: Don't pick up on that. There's nothing there. -KINGS: Language is everything.

My strategy has always been to ride the Traitors' trust,

and so by being kind to people and listening to them

and having their backs,

I'm just hoping it can take me that one extra one, till... to tomorrow,

and hopefully to the win.

-Guys, we're the final five. -I mean, that's the— -JULIA: Shall we cheers?

-Hey, we should actually cheers to that. -Cheers.

Cheers. Cheers, mate.

-Cheers. -Cheers, bro.

-Well played, everybody. -BROOKE: So— Yeah.

- I feel like we're almost at the finish line. There's been so much fun.

I've been really proud of myself. We've had such an incredible group of people here,

and I think that's why I find it so heartbreaking.

-(INDISTINCT CHATTER) -I think— I thought we should've...

What the hell?!

-What the hell?! Oh my... -Whaaat?!

-Ohhhh! -ANNA: I don't get it!

KINGS: Dun-dun-dun-dun.

-Colin comes in. -So literally everyone is here.

Which is confusing.

And then now I think about it, it's cos I've had the shield,

so it must mean that a traitor took a shot.

Yeah. It's, um— I'm a little bit confused about it.

-'Sup, bro? -Colin, we thought you were gone!

-Oh, really? -SAM: Holy twist.

-We thought you were gone. -We're all here!

-We're all here. -We're all here?

-No one— -Oh!

-Yeah. (CHUCKLES) Yeah, yeah. -No one's murdered?

I don't know why Brooke kept saying,

'Julia's got the shield. She's happier.'

Oh, you've not seen it?

-Brooke has a plan. -So maybe it's knock out Anna tonight

and it would be me on the chopping block tomorrow.

The f...? I don't know.

What the hell?!

Because Brooke is just for Brooke.

As a sidekick or a partner in crime,

there's just nothing. You know? You— You feel it.

There's just nothing.

-What... -What is going on?

-...in the actual is going on? -The hell are you rascals up to, eh?

-I'm less of a fan (CHUCKLES) -of Colin taking home all the cash,

and I think that when it comes to the crunch,

he'll probably betray me.

-I need a lie-down already. -Brooke's here...

(INTENSE MUSIC)

(TENSE, OMINOUS MUSIC)

The six remaining players in the game

are now on their way to compete in my most exquisite mission to date.

JULIA: I could not believe you walked in the doors.

- I thought I was gone. I legitimately thought, 'That's it. I'm done. I'm out.'

And I thought, 'Yeah, I'm... just murdered.

'Just gone into the night.'

BROOKE:

I'm afraid of Colin as well.

I'm afraid of suddenly him turning,

-cos he's just so unpredictable, right? -He did last night.

-And it could've got worse... -Yeah.

-...if I'd kept prodding it. -Yeah.

-Where are we at with Brooke? -Brooke is chaos.

Like, he just throws chaos everywhere.

I've kind of had it with the noise.

'I said consistently he's traitorous,

'he's messy.'

Without drawing too much attention

by saying, 'That guy's a Traitor, '

I just say, 'Oh, look at the pattern.'

(TENSE MUSIC)

(TENTATIVE FOOTSTEPS)

-Ohh. -Oh, wow.

-Ooh. -Wow.

-Fancy. -Hm.

ANNA: Today's mission — we walk in the door

and Paul is standing there

surrounded by lots of plinths

and some interesting collections

(CHUCKLES) of art.

You may or may not know,

but I'm a well-travelled man.

During my many trips abroad,

I have amassed a superb collection of curios and antiquities.

The fact of the matter is I need to make some room in my gallery

for some new acquisitions.

So today I want you to help yourselves to this —

my back catalogue.

Every artefact successfully uplifted

adds that item's value to the prize pot.

-There is a total of $7500 to be had. -(WHISTLES)

Every mission, I just keep thinking about the final prize pool

and getting as much money in there as possible.

It's starting to add up now.

You have 13 minutes to gather as many treasures as you can

and deliver them to me here.

It could not be easier, could it?

(SUSPENSEFUL MUSIC)

But for one thing.

-(ELECTRICITY BUZZES) -Ohhh.

-(GASPS) They move! -Oh, they're moving!

-Oh, we're in the movies. -OK.

For my own amusement, and for no other reason,

I've added a complex web of laser beams to thwart your mission.

There's, like, lasers pointing everywhere.

This is like a full-on Mission Impossible type thing.

I can hear, like, Tom Cruise...

This is every adult's dream —

to carry out missions as a pretend spy. It's so fun.

Ph-Phew.

As soon as you successfully deliver to me one of my objets d'art,

it means security's been breached;

I will instruct my goons to increase surveillance measures immediately.

Ahhhhh! This is so cool and so crazy!

This is an awesome mission.

Lasers, art theft...

I mean, sign me up!

If you trip a laser, one minute will be deducted from your time.

Happy looting, my lovelies.

Your time starts now.

-We don't have a lot of time, guys. -Speed is gonna be

-of the essence here. -Yeah, all right.

Try and get the highest value

-at the start. -I'm just trying to see...

My depth perception isn't great,

-so let's... -You're OK.

-Good work, Sam. -Yay! -Hey!

Nice work, bro. Nice work.

-This one's really high. -ANNA: Wait for it to go down

to the lowest point.

'For me, with my low vision, it was very hard to see

'how far away the laser beams are.'

Cos they were moving,

I had to take it sort of nice and slow.

Can you tell me when it's going down?

-Going down. -Wait, wait, wait!

-Now. Yeah. -Jump.

'Luckily for me, I've got big stork legs...'

-Nice work, bro. Hey! -Nailed it. Nailed it.

Nailed it!

'...so I managed to hop around them.'

-Uh... Yeah. Nice! -Yeah, yeah, yeah. OK.

-(CHEERING, APPLAUSE) -And there you have it.

I felt really good that I managed to contribute to the team.

An item has made it through.

I will need to increase lasers. (ELECTRICITY BUZZES, ANNA GASPS) - Oh, man.

-Which is the next-highest value? -Cos I can't reach.

-That one. -That one over there.

2000! That one's the most expensive one — that one over there.

I think I'm gonna be good at this mission. It feels...

like how we played elastics when we were younger, at primary school.

-Yeah, good. -Do I just take this thing?

Yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah.

-So far so good. -Great work.

-Come on, Anna! -Anna! -Argh!

- Whoo! - And yes. (CHEERING)

-Turns out I'm a great thief. -Didn't trip the alarm once.

Right, that is another security breach. More lasers, please.

-JULIA: OK. What's that one? -That's, uh— That's 400,

and over there you've got 1100.

-I'd go for that one. -The swan.

Who the heck gave me the memo

to wear this ridiculous dress?

People are probably gonna get dinner and a show

with me having to jack my dress up.

-(ELECTRICITY BUZZES, ALL EXCLAIM) -Oh dear, oh dear.

My first time through, it blew out.

So embarrassing. (LAUGHS)

I will reset my security system,

and a minute is deducted from your time.

-Oh, this is not easy, is it? -JULIA: There's a lot of lasers

-on that side. -Lasers. -(GRUNTS)

-Hey! -Oh, wow. That was sick.

So, in this mission, you need to be dextrous —

something that I am not.

Whoa! Sh-Shiiit. (ANNA GASPS, BROOKE LAUGHS)

I love it.

This is something I've always,

always wanted to do.

That's a free vasectomy

waiting to happen. (ANNA WHOOPS)

-Boom, boom. -Yeah. -Nice.

-Boom, boom, boom, boom. -Nailing it. Nailing it.

Amazing!

Getting through the lasers I thought was exciting.

It was a breeze. Like, I was going 'bang, bang, bang'.

And then...

(ELECTRICITY BUZZES, ALL EXCLAIM)

...I got caught. Dammit.

-(GASPS) Oh... -(ELECTRICITY BUZZES, ALL EXCLAIM)

-So near and yet so far. -Hey, careful. Careful! It moved.

(BUZZER BLARES, ALL EXCLAIM)

What?! Where?!

Bullshit! I call bullshit!

I didn't realise that the lasers not only go up and down;

some of them move in, and — boom — I trip one with my ankle.

Another minute dropped from the time.

SAM: Nice.

I managed to get around and go at it a second time.

Nice work, man.

- Nice, Brooke. - Nicely done. Nice.

I pick up the golden goose for $1100 —

add that to the silver, buddy.

We gotta—? Oh.

'I'm agile and fast, but I'm in the wrong clothes.'

I wish I'd worn a catsuit.

-Well done. -Nice. Careful— That—

-Careful! -(BUZZER BLARES, ALL EXCLAIM)

Another minute deducted from the time.

-I particularly like that kiwi. -Come on, Anna!

-Yes. Very good! -Almost there. Whoa.

This way. You've got— Oh.

-Yeah, I wanted to— -Oh, shit.

-Ooohhh! -Oh, amazing!

-You did it! -Yeah, Anna! -Yeah!

-You'll need to be quick, Kings. -Let's go.

-Oh! -Whoa.

-(BUZZER BLARES) -(LAUGHS) -Ohhh no!

Well, you were quick.

Today was probably the most fun I had in terms of a mission.

And I wasn't that good at it.

-Two minutes to go. -Sam, you're going.

When it comes for the second time around,

I've already made it once, so I'm pretty confident.

-(BUZZER BLARES) -No. -Oh!

And I make it about this far into the course (CHUCKLES) before...

before I set it off.

-One player left. -OK.

-One minute left to go. -Take it slowly.

It's gonna be you all the way.

-Yeah. Good girl. -Great. Great, great.

-Good girl. -Good work. Amazing.

-Good girl. Well done. Well done. -Nice.

-I think this way is easier than this way. -Yeah, I think—

There's lots more diamonds here.

This is a lot of triangles.

-Yeah, yeah, yeah. -A bit more height. Yeah.

-That's it. And then... -Oh...

30 seconds to go.

-Just let her do it. -Oh yes!

-Ohhhh! -Well done! Yes! OK.

-Oh my God! -Well done. Well done.

Keep— Keep on that big beam!

- And yes! (CHEERING) - Yeah! Well done!

-Yes! -Amazing!

-Man, everyone's nailing this game. -The girls smashed it.

Sam did awesome as well, for someone who could not see, like, this far past his face.

- Well done, you sneaky little thieves. (LAUGHTER)

You've managed to plunder five items from my glorious collection —

a grand total of $6000.

-Yeah! -Whoo!

$6000 — it's tomorrow that we decide who wins that.

-Now pick them up... -Yep, OK.

...and get gone before the henchmen release the hounds.

-Quickly! Out the door. -Ahh! (LAUGHS)

'That was a really enjoyable mission.'

Stink that the armoury wasn't open, though, because I would've loved to have a shield for tonight.

- Those beautiful objects— Julia, put it down! (LAUGHTER)

Colin!

They're just not trustworthy.

(FOREBODING MUSIC)

-SAM: Were you guys saying... -BROOKE: I say we vote in a bloc.

-...Julia or Colin? -I say we put the same— -This same conversation

-is happening in that car, for sure. -Yeah.

Uh, and I guarantee it's probably going more my way

than anywhere else.

I'm just thinking about Kings.

Because for Kings — he's been a question mark for me for so long.

And I put— Like, I put him down once, and... You know? I just...

It nags at me.

He's an incredible, incredible, talented man,

but I just have to... it's like the itch I have to scratch.

The only way that you survive tonight...

-The Traitor. Yeah. -...is the three of us convincing one person out there that someone

in that car is a Traitor.

If I can get all of us voting in one direction,

ideally, that would be Colin.

-Which is hard, right? -It is hard.

(FOREBODING MUSIC)

SAM: 'Today I've really got to check in with everyone

'and see what everyone's thinking.'

-I feel like we haven't played enough tennis. Like, we have a tennis court. -Right.

'From conversations I've had with Brooke and Kings,

'it looks like that's heading towards Julia

'and, potentially, Colin.

'But then I've got to see what Anna...'

and Julia and Colin say, and what they're thinking about.

- ANNA: The most loud and most wild and most-changed behaviour, and most distracting, yesterday

was King's.

I'm more than happy to go Brooke tomorrow, but I just— like, that was always the— sort of the plan.

- I've thrown Brooke's name out there and pointed out his chaos, and Anna's onside,

but she just can't let go of Kings.

So, one thing they always say is— are the patterns. Right?

-So how did that come out? -I— We— I... We all have said so many times,

'We'll do Vanda, then we'll do Kings,

'and we'll da-da-la-da, then Kings—' And that was the plan

we were all saying yesterday.

And if it's on chaoticness — he was chaotic yesterday.

He didn't just try one thing. He changed it up.

He continually did things.

I just can't go forward into the final

without having got that out.

I had thought about the prospect of working with Brooke,

but he has in no way worked with me.

-But think about it— -But I feel like it— now,

-and then later Kings. -Nah, I just— I don't like that.

-Just because the... -So you're— Sorry. You're saying...

It's just a messy situation where then, you know,

intellectually, I just don't trust them.

-Brooke. He thinks Brooke. -Just because of the...

structure of the...

you know, the go left, go right, I'm winning...

I'm more than happy to back you on Brooke tomorrow,

but I'd love to do Kings tonight.

He's chaos. He's treacherous.

And I feel that he might just try to out me.

He's been trying to win the mission so hard and get that shield.

In my mind, that's because he is a Faithful, trying to go for it.

- BROOKE: We have to get this right tonight, but we're really up against the wall.

I feel like you guys are Faithful, and I feel like...

guys, we're heading to a stage where you two could (BLEEP) this up.

'I'm really worried about the vote tonight being deadlocked at three for Kings and three for Colin.

'I've got to get Julia onside to vote for Colin

'and to put aside her differences with Kings.'

But I'm terrified of taking on Colin

without everybody else behind me.

You know how I feel — like, your particular relationship

-has been up and down. -Oh, us two? Yeah, yeah.

Unless you guys pull it together in the next couple of hours,

I think one of you guys is gonna be gone, and I think it's gonna be a mistake.

Would you guys go Colin?

-I had Colin yesterday. -Would you go Colin?

He got Colin— I think Colin did change yesterday.

-I can only go off Sam's vibe. -You're suggesting—

-You're suggesting Anna. -And she changed, kinda, tactic.

You know how yesterday we were kind of like... you know...

Every day of the week, I put my money on Colin.

'No one wants to join that. Now it's up to plan B.'

Any time Anna is in the game, I could be knocked out,

because she's just so smart.

She's really perceptive.

-Would you move that direction? -Well, I just feel like

-I want him to feel the heat. -To Anna?

Mm-hm. Would you move that direction?

-To Anna? -Yeah.

- It's really hard to get a read on Anna. She said something about her kid —

she said, 'On my kid's life, I'm a Faithful.'

And I was like, 'Hoo-whoa.' (CHUCKLES)

'That's a big one.'

- That decision gets you... it gets you to the final day

-no matter what. -The final. Right.

And— And, Kings, if you don't do that,

-there is a chance that... -That I could be gone. Yeah. -...that you could be gone.

So it's survival, man.

-One more time — are you a Faithful? -Yes.

-Are you a Faithful? -Yeah.

- If that's the case, then this is a good way to get two good Faithfuls into the last day —

and you know that you've got two good Faithfuls in there.

The conversations that have been going around today

is just a mishmash of people saying,

'Oh, it's this person.' 'Maybe it's that person.'

-Right. Let's do this. -OK.

Oh my God! It's Round Table time.

It's gonna be a shithouse in 20 minutes.

I can tell you that.

-ANNA: I don't like it. -No.

What's my favourite word in the last 24 hours?

'Grim'.

- That was why I pitched the idea to kinda just, like, talk to each other and see where we're all at.

-I can start, cos it was my dumb idea. (CLEARS THROAT) -OK.

I... really wanna take my kids to Japan.

So it's kinda, like, an extra bit of money —

we can go to Japan and have some fun.

This morning, I actually felt like, 'Holy shit — it's enough money now

'where it could actually... actually do that.'

This isn't a tactic to find out who a Traitor is.

For me, this was just, like, to get to know the people that I'm with.

As an adult, when do you get to do anything like this?

It is the wildest opportunity.

It'd just sort of be one of those things...

I would regret forever not trying to do.

We've had such an incredible group of people here,

and I think that's why I find it so heartbreaking.

I live— I'm married with two kids.

I don't live in a house with other people. I haven't done that

-since I was 20. -Yeah.

It's been so much fun, and some of these challenges have been wild.

And it's really cool — I've been really proud of myself.

-I've got MS, and I'm blind. -Yeah.

I wanted to show people that...

-Yeah. Oh, man, that's gonna be... -...if you're a disabled person,

you can carry a barrel down a road.

I've got two sons — Charlie and Harry —

and they're my absolute world.

They made me these to keep with me

during the show.

Um, so I've kept that in my pocket

for most of the challenges.

I really want to show my boys that...

you have a disabled dad, but that doesn't...

-that doesn't mean anything. -Yeah. -Yeah.

I really get strength from doing this for them.

I'm just hoping it can take me to tomorrow and hopefully to the win.

I really want to showcase to my children

and to other people that have had self-doubt growing up

that you can be successful in however you define success.

I feel incredibly proud to have made it to the end.

-Cheers to that. Cos I feel the same. You know, like... -Cheers, cheers, cheers.

-Yeah. -It's that— proving to yourself

-and being proud of yourself. -Yeah.

And we have all done amazing things here.

Everybody deserves, I think now more than ever,

to be there at the end.

And I wish that we could end the game now,

but we can't. (CHUCKLES)

I really have grown attached to you guys.

This is the part where I hope that I can make a difference.

'I'm planning on donating any money that I make on the show'

to Omahu Marae

and the surrounding areas down in the Hawke's Bay.

I obviously think that it would be very nice if some of the money went to some people

who maybe only just have the power on or only have just started to recover from the cyclone.

It's my iwi. Um, I've always wanted to connect with them more,

and now seeing what they've been through in 2023,

I'm just really keen to get them some money

to help those doing it tough.

For me— And I'm very private; I don't really like sharing,

you know, stories or anything. (BROOKE CHUCKLES, ANNA SCOFFS)

Um, no, like personal stories.

I'm very private about my family and that, so I'm...

-KINGS: Oh. I felt it, brother. -ANNA: Aw.

Love you, man.

It is so shocking to be so close to the end.

And I never, ever in my wildest dreams

would have thought I'd have gotten this far.

VOICE BREAKS: So, um, we lost our mum before COVID,

and then... And I just think...

(POIGNANT MUSIC)

You go through the motions of a, um...

You go through the motions of just, um, a funk that New Zealand

was all in. We were all in it.

And then...

And, um, the adventure,

and then seeing all of you, getting to know all of you — it's great.

-So all I wanna do if I win is make memories with my family. -Yeah.

That's it.

- SIGHS: Ah. - All righty. (COLIN EXHALES)

(ALL EXHALE HEAVILY)

(DRAMATIC, SUSPENSEFUL MUSIC)

It's very hard to separate your head from your heart in this game.

The Traitors didn't ask to be Traitors,

and so I've got to remember that whether someone's nice or not

doesn't mean that they're a Traitor or not.

I think there's so much wrapped up into this vote.

I really haven't sort of come to a conclusion in my head yet.

I think I'm going into this blind

but just with this kind of, like, inkling of, like,

'I hope I'm right.'

- BROOKE: In my best-case scenario, Colin goes tonight, but no one wants to join that.

And now he's done this beautiful, heartfelt plea, which was so sincere,

I don't even want that to happen.

We are definitely going into the Round Table tonight knowing far less

about what's gonna happen than we usually do.

(SUSPENSEFUL MUSIC)

There's no denying, players —

all of you have battled hard to get here.

Today's pillaging of my art collection

added $6000 to the prize fund,

meaning you're currently fighting for $47,100.

Who's taking it home?

And who do you want to take with you into the final phase of the game?

Who has earned your trust?

Who can you really believe?

Right here, right now,

you need to do two things.

First of all — listen.

Listen like you've never listened before

to what your fellow players have to say.

And secondly, you have to fight.

Fight for your place in the final.

Because, like opportunity,

the final is knock-knock-knocking.

(TENSE MUSIC)

You have to fight for your place in the final.

Because, like opportunity,

the final is knock-knock-knocking.

Who would like to begin?

BROOKE: I'm gonna do it for the first time. I'm gonna begin.

We've got six people who I think genuinely care about each other

who are having to throw each other's names at the wall,

(CHUCKLES) and it's just getting worse and worse.

Like, every day makes it harder.

Anna, I just can't imagine...

that you're not a Faithful. I just can't.

And I've said that to you, Colin, but after discussing it with everyone throughout the day,

I feel the same way about you. I just— That's where I've landed.

Mm.

-I don't know what I'm gonna do. -I hope we find some clarity here.

I started today with the name in mind and then have finished the day

-(CHUCKLES) with five names in mind. -(CHUCKLES WEAKLY)

-I think that's been every table. (LAUGHS) -I know!

-This has got harder and harder. -Yeah. Yeah.

And, man, that...

-the blackmail has just screwed... -ANNA: Yeah, it has.

...everything up. Like...

(SIGHS)

I...

Oh, man.

(TENSE MUSIC)

(EXHALES)

-KINGS: I wanna say— -I'll say something.

Julia, it was between you and Anna, personal— Oh, you three, actually.

Anna said something about her kids that made me feel like, 'Well, I trust her.'

So that ruled her out.

Uh, with the time I spent with Brooke,

he's convinced me that he's a Faithful.

And I haven't had enough time with you.

Um, that's what I've got.

And— And I'm sorry. That's it.

I promised myself that I would, in this game,

carry dignity and integrity the whole way through it.

And you'll see later that I'm on the outside with Vanda,

not engaging in the heat.

Um, you've seen how the whole entire board has played out,

in terms of trying to offload me earlier.

And the only reason that I'm here now

is because Kings knows that I've got him in a vise.

(TENSE MUSIC)

Wh-What did you mean by 'vise'?

-What did I mean by—? -You know exactly what I mean.

And when I get up there and I say I'm a Faithful,

you know that everyone's gonna come for you.

I dunno, man. Are you playing your cards too early?

- What is this? What's happening right now? - Yeah, I'm not even sure

-what's happening right now. -JULIA: Yeah.

- 'Vise'? - He's left in the car. He's the only person left

-in the car. -(SIGHS) Here we go back to this thing.

- Oh, back to the car! (CHUCKLES) Yeah, yeah. Right. - But— I'm going to the car.

Robbie was Robbie, and she slipped up multiple times,

and what I have never been able to let go of is the 'we'.

She said 'we murdered'.

And it wasn't me; it wasn't Mike; it wasn't Chris.

There was somebody sitting in the car passenger seat

right next to Robbie when she said it.

And then you voted for me.

-Three times. (LAUGHS) -I'm going off day by day, yeah.

-I mean, the car thing— -You can't go off day by day, man.

-You can't. -You— I think you definitely can,

but that's... Whatever.

'She's holding on to something that she believes is true.'

Or maybe she's a Traitor and she's just playing the game well.

-That's just distracting them. -They're not looking at what's, like,

right in front of their face — i.e. me.

I'm gonna end up voting for Julia,

because I just don't wanna hear about the car ever again.

No one does!

Forget about it!

KINGS: I sometimes feel like I'm the only Faithful

-trying to do things. -BROOKE: Yeah.

I feel that way. Like...

-I would challenge that. -...I'm throwing out the gate things, like,

trying to get to the bottom of this.

I feel alone sometimes. Like, honestly.

- Kings, I find it interesting that you feel that way, cos a lot of people...

-have been on the hunt. I feel... -Mm.

-...like I'm doing the same thing. -Of course, I do—

-It is a group effort, for sure. -Yeah.

I-I mean I feel as of late I've been doing a lot of...

-You've been wild. -...putting my head out. -Yeah.

-I've been throwing— Just... -Yeah, you have. You've been different.

-And it's to get different conversations going. -Yeah.

-Yep. -Yeah.

COLIN: That was... scary.

-It's scary, yeah. -SIGHS: It is scary.

-There's no right or wrong. -Yeah.

Why doesn't someone else put another name out?

-Like, who are you... Colin? -Um...

-Like... -(EXHALES)

Basing it on, uh,

not you voting for me,

-you know, I just think... -(SCOFFS)

...you'd be a great blackmail. And, um...

-And then— -I was the only one who didn't get

Vanda, a Faithful, out. Just to put that in... - Yeah. No, exact— No, exactly.

Anyone else got any name?

(TENSE MUSIC)

-This morning when I— -when I came to breakfast,

I was thinking Julia.

Classic.

I thought last night, when...

everyone was looking quite sad,

I thought you looked quite guilty.

Yeah, you just— (SIGHS) You seemed a bit different.

I just can't understand how the heat's back on me now.

You've got it wrong. - Yeah. And this is what I thi— Cos I've talked to you today...

-(EXHALES) -...and I feel like it's...

-I feel like it's wrong. -It's wrong.

- BROOKE: Yeah. I think you guys are Faithful, and I think this is a distraction, but I don't know...

Right now, the way it's going,

it's like we're all gonna have to pick a side —

which makes this thing insane,

-because it's not based on anything... -Pick a name.

-Well... -...other than the fact... -Pick a name.

-...that you guys have some kind of weird beef. -Yeah, well, Brooke,

you've summed that up perfectly. Is this a distraction going on? - Maybe.

I urged you guys to sort that out and build a bridge there,

and to be honest, I'm exhausted from the conversation,

-so I'm almost there too. -COLIN: It confuses me. -Yeah.

-Like, that... that... -Yeah.

-...is the noise I'm talking about. -It confuses me.

And I'm exhausted from the conversation too.

It's time to vote.

Who do you want to banish from the game?

Who do you think is a Traitor?

Please write one name down on your slate.

(SIGHS)

(SUSPENSEFUL MUSIC)

(MUSIC INTENSIFIES)

It's time to reveal who you want to banish from the game.

Julia, we'll start with you.

Ugh.

(SUSPENSEFUL MUSIC)

Look... (SIGHS) I'm going out with a name that hasn't ever come up before.

And it— this is why I've been, like, totally in a distraught state today.

I don't want it to be you. I can't believe it's you.

I'm sorry, Anna.

Wow.

(SUSPENSEFUL MUSIC CONTINUES)

Anna, whose name have you written down and why?

We've been doing a really good job of finding Traitors.

I don't think we needed to change up anything that we're doing

to create havoc.

So, Kings, sorry, I've gone back with you, buddy,

cos I don't get the logic

on being that— We had found four.

So I understand what you're trying to say is that you're trying to change it up,

and I respect that opinion. That didn't quite make sense for me, but... Yeah.

So one vote for Anna.

One vote for Kings.

Brooke, who have you voted for and why?

Came in today wanting to test some kind of more out-there ideas,

and...

I just ended up back where I've been avoiding.

But the noise just needs to be answered.

And it wasn't far away from, like... either one of you.

I put you, Julia.

Might end up regretting that. I think you're right, though —

I think your kids should be so proud of the way that you've handled yourself.

I put your name down. I'm sorry.

Julia,

Anna

and Kings.

You have one vote each.

Sam.

This is hard for me, because...

I've said it so many times —

I want you to be my best friend.

I want to be your best friend.

I'm sorry, Kings.

-The random stuff is just... -EXHALES: Wow.

-...just a little bit too much. -I'm sorry.

-But, shit, I hope you're a Traitor. -Um... Yep.

Kings. Who have you voted for and why?

Julia, I dunno if it's a feud that we have. Maybe we are getting...

tricked by the masses and, uh— I'm not sure.

Yeah. That's all I got right now.

Wow.

-Two votes for Julia. -(SIGHS)

Two votes for Kings.

One vote for Anna.

So, Colin,

you have the deciding vote.

(SUSPENSEFUL MUSIC BUILDS)

(INTENSE MUSIC)

-Two votes for Julia. -(SIGHS)

Two votes for Kings.

One vote for Anna.

So, Colin,

you have the deciding vote.

Um, it's hard.

This game's hard,

knowing all of you.

(COLIN SIGHS)

(SUSPENSEFUL MUSIC)

I really hope you are a Traitor.

I just...

think you'd be the ultimate blackmail,

and that's why I've...

(BROOKE GASPS) ...put Kings.

-EXHALES: Oh, wow. -You know, and I really do hope

you are a Traitor.

# Lookin' for a hand to hold,

# anything to stop me fallin'...

-Kings... -Yo.

...you have received the most votes.

-You are banished from the game. -SIGHS: I have.

Please come and join me.

# ...life to live,

# one heart to give

# is all we know.

Kings, before you leave the game forever,

please reveal if you're a Faithful or a Traitor.

Uh...

It's been an honour to get to know all of you.

Especially that last moment we had together.

Uh...

(MELANCHOLY MUSIC CONTINUES)

I do have a secret.

I'm a Faithful. (HORRIFIED GASPING)

-Goodbye. -(BLEEP), man.

# If it's our world

# and we are free,

# run to me...

Distractions,

-distractions, distractions. -Distractions, distractions.

(BLEEP).

And so...

you vote out another Faithful.

There is nothing to be done about that now.

Meet me outside shortly.

Oh, man.

Dude, I thought I was so...

Well, your Anna vote could've really stuffed you.

That's that sense of strategic voting, but I guess, again, you're wearing your heart on your sleeve,

and that's a good sign.

WHISPERS:

# Run to me.

# Run to me.

-# If it's our world... -# Darlin', come with me...

-# ...and we are free... -# ...and we can let go of fear.

-# ...run to me. -# We can get out of here.

# Run to me. #

# You gotta stew your pain or...

# you will never know. (You will never know.)

# Turn your face to the flames and...

# never let go. (Never let go.)

JULIA: I feel disappointment in myself for getting it so wrong.

# Tighten the brace.

- I really believed that Kings was a Traitor, and that throws the whole entire theory out the window for me.

And that's hard to accept when you are so certain on something.

-ANNA: I was furious. -I was really mad, really upset.

I think cos it was such a shock, and we're really on the back foot.

We need a 100% pass rate.

Otherwise, the Traitors are taking the silver.

They're winning this game.

(ANNA SIGHS HEAVILY)

It's been quite the ride, players.

So many good people have fallen by the wayside.

-But not you... -(ANNA SIGHS)

...Anna,

Brooke,

Sam,

Colin,

Julia.

You deserve a pat on the back.

You deserve a good night's sleep.

So tonight there will be no murder.

-Yes! -EXHALES: Thank God.

-There will be no more murders. -(GASPS)

Tomorrow, you will face the mission to end all missions...

and your last-ever Round Table banishment,

after which you will determine

when there are no Traitors remaining

and when we end the game.

You're all so close to winning.

I congratulate you from the bottom of my heart for getting this far.

Thanks, Paul.

Let me propose a toast.

Here's to you, my finalists.

-Good luck. -Thank you.

(UNEASY MUSIC)

-Salut. -And goodnight.

(CRICKETS CHIRP)

It's the final day tomorrow,

and we've got five people left.

We think two of them are Traitors.

The odds are not in our favour

at all.

-We have got a really (CHUCKLES) -big problem to solve,

and I think we've massively underestimated them,

and they're much smarter...

and they're playing a way better game than we are at the moment.

I don't like it.

Like, smile that we're even a part of something like this...

-Yeah. And all be friends. -...but right now, this is hard.

-SAM: It feels real shitty. -Really hard.

-Yeah. 100%. -ANNA: I think it's hard when you're...

COLIN: I'm emotionally and physically exhausted.

It's just... the minefield

of how this will play itself out.

(SUSPENSEFUL MUSIC BUILDS)

It's all on.

Let's see what happens.

Next time —

COLIN: I can't believe we're at the final already.

'the players face their last mission...'

Anna, get inked with a tattoo.

-That can't be right. -That can't be right.

Oh, bloody Henry! (SHRIEKS)

(CONTINUES SHRIEKING)

...as new alliances are formed...

Nobody's ever actually thrown Brook into it.

This late in the game, you don't wanna get it wrong.

Colin's just completely changed over the last 48 hours.

I think you're Faithful to the end.

...and old ones torn apart.

WHISPERS: Is Anna a Traitor?

Will the Faithful walk away with the prize fund,

or will the Traitors have the last laugh?

COLIN: All of these people deserve to win,

but I'm dressed for their funerals.
