Oh, hello.

Don't worry, the others will be arriving soon,

♪ ...and then the games will begin.

And soon you'll feast.

Yes, you will.

Yes, you will soon.

24 people from across the country

have been invited to this castle

in the heart of ancient Ireland.

Any idea what castle you think we might be going to?

No.

To play the ultimate murder mystery game

in the hope of winning up to ?50,000.

They'll work together as a team... Go, go.

...and build up that prize fund by completing epic missions.

Get them, get them, we'll get them.

Concealed amongst them are The Traitors, who,

under the cover of darkness,

will secretly murder their fellow players,

eliminating them from the game.

You're the puppeteer behind the chaos.

Where's your evidence?

It's up to the Faithful to work out who the Traitors are.

I suspect you.

And banish them before they murder again.

That is a categorical lie.

No, I don't trust anyone.

Who will live, who will die?

This is The Traitors.

It's intense.

It's so scary and so different than my normal.

I've never done anything like this before.

Oh my God.

Oh my God, the masks.

My name is Andrew.

I'm 33 years of age and I'm from Limerick.

The banishment, the murders, the round tables.

I want to experience all of the game.

Oh my God.

Is it midlife crisis or what?

It's a challenge and I am very excited.

Do yous know what castle this is? Is it Slane? Oh is it?!

I'm starting to get mad butterflies now.

Harry Styles was playing here a few years ago.

Oh yeah. I was meant to go, but I never went.

I could tell you guys I nearly came here,

but they're a lot older than Harry Styles.

Being a Faithful would definitely be my preference,

but if I was a Traitor, I could do that job.

I think I could, anyway. I hope I could.

Give them a wave, will we?

I want to be cunning, witty, and win this game.

The other 23 people are equally trying to do that as well,

d'ya know? Is their name their real name?

Is their profession their real profession?

There's the castle there, look.

Oh, wow.

If I was a Traitor and I knew there was a Guard in the castle,

they'd be the first ones gone

because they're going to think I'm some Sherlock Holmes or something.

Release.

Very impressive.

I had to leave my wife behind me, Bernadette.

We've been married since 1978.

We've never been apart, so it's a big change.

Look, there's Siobhán McSweeney!

Oh, my God.

Blessed art thou among women.

Oh my God. I love her.

Oh my God!

I just graduated college.

I don't know what I'm doing with my life,

but I think 50 grand would set me up pretty nicely.

Oh my God!

I don't think anything can prepare you

for the amount of people that step out of the car.

How are ye? Here we go.

Let the games begin.

I just feel sick in my stomach, nervous, anxious, overwhelmed.

Oh my God, this is so intense. Isn't it?

Yeah.

Taking it all in.

Hello, lovelies.

Hello, Siobhán.

Welcome to Traitors Castle in Slane.

I'm sure some of you have committed some acts of debauchery here.

But don't worry if you have not,

for I see some debauchery in your immediate future.

Soon, I will pick my Traitors, and under the cover of darkness,

they will murder their fellow players.

Up for grabs is ?50,000,

and if there are any Traitors left at the end of the game, well,

they take the whole lot.

As for the rest of you,

well, you will be my Faithful,

and you will have an opportunity each night to banish a Traitor.

Simply put, get them before they get you.

For the Traitors will try every trick in the book

to escape detection and to slip under the radar.

Become your best friend or your arch-nemesis.

Are you ready to play?

Yes.

Let's... Actually, hold on a second.

Before we go in, would you mind doing something for me?

Yeah?

First impressions are everything in the castle.

Without you knowing,

you have already formed opinions that will shape the outcome of this game.

So with that in mind, I would like you, as a group,

to pick the person that you think is the most trustworthy.

Off you go.

Who do you think in this group is the most trustworthy?

Pick one person.

We don't have all day. Come on!

What does a trustworthy person look like?

I don't know. Do they have a beard?

I don't know.

Nobody was really stepping forward,

so I nominated Andrew.

Andrew looks quite trustworthy.

Andrew, you're very trustworthy-looking.

I shared a car with Andrew on the way up,

and I genuinely feel that Andrew is a really nice guy.

Right, Andrew, we all vote you?

I feel like I've been picked. No.

And just stand my ground,

and I was almost too obliging to just walk up.

We threw Andrew under the bus.

I want you to look directly back at them.

Why don't you choose three people who look the least trustworthy?

Come on.

I'm looking at Andrew and I'm smiling and I'm saying,

Hello, look at me. I'm so trustworthy.

Dave volunteered me.

Come on, Dave.

I should have just kept my mouth shut , and stayed quiet.

I just wanted to, like Homer Simpson,

drift into the brush behind me and just be invisible.

Eh, kind of light bluey green jumper.

Light bluey green jumper? Sorry.

I shouldn't have worn that green jumper.

That's what I was thinking.

I shouldn't have worn this green jumper.

I just stood out a little bit too much.

And...

the lady in the black dress with the nice white and black...

Me? Yes.

Gemma was, I think,

collateral damaged because she was just so close to me.

I feel he picked two males already,

and I feel that he didn't want it to be unfair, and he just,

I suppose, zoned in on me.

So it has been decided that you appear

the least trustworthy out of the group. Yeah?

Sorry, guys. Thank you, Andrew.

What will we do with them? Nothing.

Nothing? Nothing.

What's she going to ask him to do?

Why don't you pick two out of the three

that need to leave the castle immediately?

Em...

Pick two to dump right now.

I really should get these filed down.

They're getting very sharp.

You just have to try and prejudge someone

without actually talking to them.

Who are the two people

you would like to leave the castle immediately?

but I wasn't able to give them a chance.

I'm sorry.

John and Gemma. Sorry, guys.

That was a relief.

David Collins isn't going home today.

I'm staying here.

John and Gemma, your fate has been sealed.

I'm so sorry. It's okay.

It was lovely to have I'll be here, albeit briefly,

and it'll be very sad to see you go, but go, you must.

Off you go.

The game just starts,

and before they even get to set foot inside the castle,

they're gone.

It was a hard decision for him,

I'd say he didn't feel too good about it, to be honest.

I feel so bad.

I suppose that's just the way the chips fall.

It's the way the cookie crumples, you know?

But it really drove home for me,

and I think for everyone else,

a flip of a coin, and you're gone.

Why are you still standing here?

Come on. Into the castle, tea and scones.

Welcome, welcome, welcome.

Oh, wow.

Look at this, guys.

Drinks are on me.

It's like nothing I've ever seen before in my life.

Now, this is nice.

I could see myself living here.

Believe it or not, I'm very at home here,

and I wasn't reared in the castle, to be honest.

I hope it'll last.

Oh, it's so bougie.

Oh my God.

My name is Faye Louise Brennan.

I'm 27 years old, and I work as an event manager.

Oh, we got a mirror.

Strengths may be that I talk a lot,

so I get a lot of information out of people.

But my weakness in that as well is I talk a lot.

The sisterhood!

Come join us.

How are we?

My name is Mark, and I'm 38, and I'm from Laois.

After being born deaf, they were challenges with that.

On time in Galway, I was at a wedding,

so I was just watching the telly in the towel or whatever.

Next thing, the door just opened.

And I'm just lying there. What the fuck?

An a women walked in with a hoover. Like that.

And I was like, Um...

I have to get a cochlear implant.

If I was sitting here 18 months ago,

I wouldn't be able to hear what you were saying, basically.

She was like, Oh my God, Mark, I'm so sorry.

I love that.

This is nice. Does it suit me?

Yeah, it actually does.

We're judging each other.

We're sizing each other up.

I'm definitely sure that they're doing the same thing to me.

I'm feeling so deflated and feeling like

I've just been thrust out of my whole strategy

of just keeping quiet, laying low.

Did you come in the car with him? With David.

Obviously, that's the only connection you have, isn't it?

That's your... Like I don't know anyone else.

Were you thinking you were gone? I was.

People already...

not necessarily have their minds a bit up about you,

but they have an idea of you almost

before you even got a chance to have an idea about them.

Sorry, there's so many names. What's your own name?

Paudie. Paudie.

I remember you because you were singled out.

I got you right.

He's easy to remember now.

That's the problem, I'm easy to remember now.

I know, that's the thing.

It puts the target on your back straight away.

Be rude not to, wouldn't it? Cheers, thank you.

As Andrew has got devoted at the very beginning

as someone who's trustworthy.

Sorry, Andrew, listen.

Niall. Nice to meet you.

I suppose all eyes are on him in the sense of,

is that something we need a question?

Mark, Joe, Michele, Nicky, Katelyn, Diane, Will, Ben.

David. He pointed out every name.

We're here in our hour and he pointed all the names.

Amy, Linda, and Kelley.

That's me game plan, making the effort in and on their name.

He could either be dangerous as a Faithful to a Traitor

or very dangerous as a Traitor.

22 players have met each other as equals,

but that's all about to change.

It's time to select The Traitors.

Are you here to win the money?

Fifty grand, yeah.

Yes, I could do a lot with that.

Everyone's here to win.

Whoever said they're not here to win is lying.

Who doesn't want the money? Everyone needs money.

I'm not money motivated.

I share with another Traitor if I had to,

but I'll just like to win the game.

I would love to take my mother on a cruise.

She's had a bit of health issues lately,

so it would be nice to do that.

Most of it will go towards I need a deposit for a house.

My wife and I are looking to buy a house.

Put a deposit down for a house.

Potentially put towards a house.

Because I need a house. Everyone needs a house.

Would you like to be a Traitor or a Faithful?

I didn't come here to be a Faithful.

I came here to be a Traitor.

I came here to play the game.

If when do I'm doing the killing,

there's less a chance of me being killed, isn't there?

The odds are in me favour.

Would you consider yourself loyal?

Yeah, I'm definitely loyal.

But you'd have no problem stabbing somebody in the back?

Yeah.

I couldn't see myself playing the game any other way.

What's the impression you wanted to give people?

That I won't stab them in the back.

That's the impression I like to give.

So you lied to them?

100 percent.

Welcome to the round table.

It is here in this sacred space that the Faithful

will face off against The Traitors.

We're a trusting people, aren't we?

How often have you described somebody as being harmless?

Such a favourable Irish trait, isn't it?

Well, soon I will choose my Traitors,

and they will have the ability to do you an awful lot of harm.

It's time. Players, put on your blindfold.

If I touch you on the shoulder, that means that you are a Traitor.

Let's begin.

I could hear Siobhán walking around the room.

Please pick me, please pick me, please pick me.

If I touch you on the shoulder,

that means that you are a Traitor.

Let's begin.

It's very intense.

Everything is in darkness.

All you could hear is as she passes, a breeze.
