This is the ultimate game-

-about trust and deception.

New handpicked players.

All with different starting points to succeed or fail.

Hopefully...

...do they know what they have agreed to.

Hey.

Hey.

It wasn't so pleasant here, Mads.

-Did you expect a nice game? -Yes.

-You wanted to play Traitor? -Yes, it thought.

It's a complex game. You know that better than anyone.

That is right. I know that best of all.

-Do you hope you will become a traitor? -Yes.

Are you good at holding the mask?

No, but something in me wants to try me as a traitor-

- to wake up a devil I think is deep inside.

They think they know the game, but do they really?

The challenges are more, the surprises bigger.

But the goal is the same: to find the traitors among them.

If they don't succeed, they will drop like flies.

Until the traitors are left with the entire prize pool themselves.

But it should not be about competence.

Because among this year's players we find crime writers, -

-forensic technicians, nuclear physicists...

...and a clown.

I fear we are becoming completely paranoid.

I think people are already starting to look around a bit,-

-so I think the game is already underway.

I come across as a very kind and sweet person-

- who talks a lot, but I feel I lie quite a lot in everyday life.

As a broker, I am good with people, but personally extremely sensitive.

If someone accuses me of something I didn't do, just wait…

Most people lie dozens of times every single day.

If everyone had told the truth, I think there would have been chaos.

Another day, another slay.

It's so unimportant now! Satan, now I'm fed up!

Anyways, it's just a game... Ha-ha-ha...

En ny type psycho.

Bam, it's early vacation.

Then you can believe what the hell you want. You are so damn wrong.

Then the terrier from Østerdalen comes out.

Vote for me, but then I'll cut you off and give you the finger.

I have seven senses and hear everything that is said within a 30 meter radius.

It is quite possible to go crazy in here.

Does being inside this house drive you crazy ?

Yes, you will.

There's a reason clowns are killers in horror movies.

Can really only polish the rifle...

It's quite a hospital.

Fuck.

Damn!

SCREEN MEDIA Tone Hauge

We have returned to venerable Midtåsen,-

-where we will enjoy ourselves for the next 12 weeks. This will be fun.

The madness is on. Mads is crazy.

All you have to do is steel yourself and hang on to the strap.

I'm a big fan of Traitor. Damn fat to be here.

There is something about the setting. One comes to this house. Amazingly nervous.

Welcome to Midtåsen.

It's a good bunch.

You have all agreed to participate in a game.

A game of trust and deception.

Most of you will be loyal in the game.

Are you hoping to be cast as a traitor?

In the.

I can't lie.

I will speak the truth all the time and go very far with it.

But among you there will also be traitors.

I think traitor makes sense. I will play innocent.

I am an innocent, sweet, little boy.

-Do you hope you will become a traitor? -Yes.

Soon we shall draw traitors.

But until then, you will be allowed to climb on-

-and enjoy the most delicious canapés and triangular slices of bread-

-while you can still trust each other.

- Get on. -Triangle bread slices!

Wow.

It's so nice here. Insane.

It reminds me of those old games.

Or a killer movie. Kind of like a killer movie vibe.

It fits well with what we need.

The cuts...

I take a cut...

-Look here. - What a snarky bunch.

We look a little half-traitorous, all of us.

Some look suspicious already.

I want to be on your team as a police officer.

- Is she a police officer? - You shouldn't have said that out loud.

So then we have a crime writer, a policeman and a clown?

I deal in professional idiocy.

So I don't think that will help me at all.

-What? - Head in a pinch like that?

- Nothing scary now. -Relax. I will hug you.

I've done a lot of sick things on the wrestling mat-

-to win a wrestling match within and outside the rules.

I will go to great lengths to go to the top.

-Are you sure? -Yes.

They were very small and cute to have caused so much damage.

I want to seem scary.

Oh, yeah, you don't.

I may be best at the physical part, but here it's the mental part.

So I can't wait to test that out.

It's Håheim, at least...

Fridtjov. Fridtjov Håheim.

There are a lot of my fellow players that I have no idea who they are, -

-but as I understand it, super celebrities are in their circles.

-You're a pop star, aren't you? - No, I drive...

I mostly do TikTok.

-So you know each other? - Yes, we have worked a lot.

I notice, when I meet my fellow players, -

- that this is an environment and a culture that I am not a part of.

- This is a bit of a holiday. - That's it.

Stay in a hotel and be served food.

And the bullet.

The atmosphere seems good among the others.

When we hear the discussions, hear the arguments-

- and not least the atmosphere looks...

There are many who push 60. They are just there.

I'm trying to find the young ones. It's me and Oskar.

Or Oskar is pushing 30, but...

No, I can't relate to them. I'm a little alone.

I have to try to get involved a bit. Talk about...

-What do you do with so much space? -You must have parties and a gardener.

Do you know what I dreamed about when I was little, that is, a year ago?

Imagine a football pitch, only it's all trampolines.

Do you want that?

I know what the hell I can talk about with them.

Since the players seem to have found the tone,-

-I think this is an excellent time to start the game.

And the council chamber shows itself from its best side.

Ready to welcome new players.

Let's draw the traitors of the game.

I'm so damn scared. It's going to be so damn good.

Damn, it's going to be brutal.

There's a tension in the air that's just a little nasty.

You get a solemnity in you. An awe, in a way.

I feel like being a traitor. And then we actors live by lying.

Maybe I have some advantage there.

It seems like familiar ground for now, at least.

If I'm offered to become a traitor, I'll accept without a doubt.

This is what you've been waiting for, so I'm as ready as I can be.

It was a very majestic room.

You go in with a sense of awe.

It's a bit like entering St. Peter's Basilica in Rome.

You almost become religious from taking the step inside.

It is absolutely absurd to enter that council chamber.

I got a cult feeling right away.

As if someone is to be sacrificed on that table.

She next to me said, "Do your hands sweat too?"

And then I said, "Yeah, a little."

And then she showed me her hands.

She looks like she's just gotten out of the shower. Completely soaking wet.

"I will not be a traitor."

So it affected the people in there.

Hallo.

-Welcome to the council chamber. -Thanks.

The heart of the game.

Here the majority decides.

And that's a big advantage for the loyal.

So if you manage to find together and stay together,-

-will you be able to share all the silver you collect.

And the silver...

We have that here.

One hundred silver bars-

- to a value of NOK 200,000.

But I know there is someone sitting around this table,-

-who longs for the opportunity to confuse,-

-manipulate and kill the others.

Now you will find someone else around the table, -

- and look the person in the eye.

Focus on de-

-warm, friendly,-

-loyal eyes.

Soon these very eyes can-

- be the last thing you see at night.

For now, my friends, we shall draw traitors.

You have a piece of paper in front of you. Write their name on it.

I've thought a lot about this moment.

In a way, this is what will define us in the coming weeks.

The collective nerves that were in that room, I think you could feel.

Don't think that answer will help you.

The atmosphere was very different and more pressured.

People followed and looked around. It was a slightly different group then.

-Anyone excited? - It's a bit of pressure.

We will now do this in a slightly different way.

In front of you is a ribbon.

You must put on the blindfold so that you cannot see anything.

Talking.

I will now look at the top names in the pile.

If you feel a friendly pat on the back,-

- have you been given the role of traitor.

Don't put your lukewarm hand on my shoulder.

So, the ears...vibrated about.

Anyone next to me breathing differently? Sounds in the clothes?

I felt Mads went round after round.

If it was 2-3 minutes, it felt like half an hour.

It just got worse and worse.

I have been tall and dark at the front and announced freely and nicely-

- that I will become a traitor.

And then I feel, as those feet move slowly, slowly:

"Oh, no, you, this is not for me."

"I can't be a traitor. Don't touch my shoulder!"

This is one of the most intense things I have been involved in in my life.

It felt like he was standing right behind me.

My heart is beating very fast. It has never thumped so fast before.

Like it's just going to pop out.

And then he moves on.

Oh, no, this is not for me.

There was an icy hand on my shoulder.

And I feel that: "No..."

My body starts to move. My arms and feet are shaking.

It feels as if the heart is outside the body.

It was absolutely terrible to sit there.

It clapped there... Damn it, then the heart rate increased.

Traitor.

Then I had to pull myself together and breathe properly with my stomach.

Freezes completely. I'm sitting like that.

How should I behave? I have no idea.

Before we continue,-

-I want to ask the traitors some questions.

Do you want to betray the group you are currently in?

I know I can't fix this.

Okay, kill me, send me home whenever you want,-

- but I can't fix killing the others.

Do you want to kill the others one by one while they sleep?

I say no, but I feel that I stand very well in that choice.

Then I'd rather be the one who is a bit of an aspen leaf. It is okay.

It is okay. Then we have to draw again.

Then there is a bastard who refuses to be a traitor. The pulse goes up again.

Can't you just say yes, you who are chosen? Damn.

If a player declines to become a traitor,-

-continues the selection until you have three players-

-who has accepted the role.

You may be wondering who the third traitor was.

You can wonder about that for a little while longer.

Then I remind you that this is their own choice.

And a role you have thus accepted yourself.

As you have noticed, everyone is blindfolded.

All you know is your own role in the game.

And the same goes for the traitors.

It will remain this way until the decision is made-

-about who will be killed first.

Now you can take off the blindfold. You're welcome.

When I take off the bandage, I think:

"Push it away. Forget it for a second."

I have to turn around and look at everyone, and see who seems suspicious.

I simply have to play the role of a loyal one.

When we took off the bandage, there was an incredibly strange atmosphere.

Everyone just looks at each other.

I don't know if I should smile too much. Is it okay to joke a little?

I don't want to cause too much or too little attention.

So I thought I could just be myself, because I'm actually loyal.

When I realize that we are a team, that there is someone who feels the same way as me, -

-I'll be a little happy. I'm looking for my friends, the allies.

Something that has changed in people's faces.

The first face I see is Desta.

I'm pretty sure Desta is on my team in this game.

You become very self-aware, also as loyal.

One thinks: "I'm not going to say anything suspicious."

But it's suspicious enough to sit and shut up, too.

Did Mads take and kiss you too?

He dealt with it, but I didn't know what role I had been given.

I want there to be none. Then we can continue to be Kardemomme By.

People didn't know who to look at.

So everyone tried to be a bit ordinary.

It makes it difficult to see who else are traitors,-

-and if people think I'm a traitor.

I try to keep the natural Tamanna going.

I feel everyone looks exactly the same as before.

I thought at least one was going to look different, but I can't...

I do not understand what you mean.

Soon you will have the opportunity to get to know each other a little better, -

-collaborate a bit and hopefully-

-win silver for the prize pool-

-in the game's first mission. See you later.

I sense that there is going to be too much thinking.

The loyal have little to go on for the time being.

But the speculations have already got legs to go on.

What makes the game fun is that there will be 19 detectives-

-which roams the plain.

Something comes up with a lead and then everyone has to go towards it?

We must not walk in a herd of sheep. Everyone votes the same,-

- is the least likely that we will meet.

And the traitors seem to be on safe ground. Very safe ground.

I have no suspicion of traitors,-

-but I don't think Morten is a traitor.

Traitor.

He's probably a good actor too.

You must always have a little side view.

"Are they just talking to each other now or is there something?"

Now we're guessing, everyone.

It goes well. I feel everyone has a loyal button on me.

I think I'm not smart enough to be a traitor.

Which is actually true. I'm not really smart enough.

I just have to play as hard as I can and surprise the traitor role.

F...f....

I have nothing to say "f" about.

F... Traitor.

I can't say "traitor".

No, I'm psyching myself out. I have to stop that.

- It's a more pressured atmosphere. -Now?

There will be quite a few groupings as soon as we leave the council chamber.

Many people talk together. More people take the eye test-

-and see if they feel they have trust in each other.

But really nothing is worth. It's too early-

- to direct strong, good suspicions against anyone.

So I think it will be nice for people to get out in the fresh air-

- and solve some tasks, and see if you can interpret something from there.

The players are on their way to their first mission,-

-but first it must be divided into five layers-

-based on personal characteristics.

Sly, smart, careful, strong, lazy...

Where's the "fun", then?

Aren't we incredibly smart?

I really wanted to be in the lat group.

But it was already taken by four people.

-Who are you? -Lazy.

-Why are you here? -Why don't you ask me about it?

But he is sporty...

Petter and I looked at each other: "We're lazy."

But no one is arguing against you.

- I want to be sneaky. -Then there are four of us.

I should be careful. What does slippery mean?

Sly... I'm already sly. Maybe just as well to be there?

- Are you sneaky? - We are smart.

No, just forget it.

-Are we strong? -Yes.

Do you see someone smarter than you here?

- You can't ask about that. -Many ways to be smart.

Street smart.

I chose the group called "smart".

I thought it was something I could use logical thinking for.

So I thought I 'd just try that group.

- You can drive the car. -Would like to very much.

- We are careful. - I don't want to drive.

I ended up where I ended up because when I came out of the house,-

-people had already started to group themselves.

But I thought it was quite fitting to end up among the cautious.

This is just supposed to be fun, right? We're going to win silver and all that.

I think we should do the opposite of cautious. Parachute jump.

-It is not going to happen. - I'm afraid of one thing: snakes.

Hoses and parachutes are a "no go" for the cautious group?

-Yes I think so. - I won't join in the ski jumping.

- Damn fun. I'll take that. -Great.

Parachute or bungee cord, then I'll take it.

-Welcome to your first mission. -Thanks.

The prize is currently nothing.

And this is the first opportunity to win silver for the pot.

The prize pool will go to either the loyal or the traitors-

-at the end of the game.

In the time to come, you will need to dig-

- for information.

Put the information into a system and interpret it.

Tread carefully so as not to trip.

From time to time, there will also be a need for useful idiots.

If not, you will quickly end up there.

There are coffins, if you're wondering.

-Are you ready? -Yes.

Eight silver bars worth NOK 16,000

-is in the pot on today's mission.

To win silver, players must complete the entire mission in under 16 minutes.

When half the time has passed, one silver bar will be drawn from the prize pool.

If the participants should use more than 16 minutes, -

-the game is over and the entire prize pool is lost.

The teams will therefore go through a kind of relay.

Here each team must obtain something that the next team needs-

-to complete his stage.

The sneaky team must duck under an obstacle,-

-where they have to find four IQ tasks.

These tasks should be solved by the smart team

-to secure four keys which the next team needs.

On the third leg, the cautious team must be as careful as possible,-

-and transport the keys barefoot over 10 meters with broken glass.

On the other side they will unlock 4 sticks the strong team needs-

-to carry four chests in to the finish line.

Og de late...

Tja.

I felt that a quiet start suited me well.

I've always liked the phrase "work smarter, not harder".

Those who are lazy, should lie dead in the coffins?

We must tread carefully.

The cautious had to go for glass.

Have you notified your next of kin, all of you? Good.

It's scary.

It's windy down here.

In the.

We are sitting in a lee.

This is so much fun.

Ready, done...

(honks)

The sneaky team must get through the creep barrier.

On the way, they have to unearth four IQ tasks which they take with them further.

It's been 10 seconds!

-Do you start there? -Yes.

Run! I have note!

-Have you found two already? -Yes.

Hi Hi Hi.

How many do we have?

-Looks like we have three! -I have one!

I was supposed to be the guy checking that everything was picked up.

Get your ass in gear! You are a system man! Get your ass in gear!

I didn't hear that we had three and I had one.

So I search and spend time, while we all have.

-We have them all! Come on! - I didn't know we had all of them.

Wind, wind... Der!

The smart team will go through four records of IQ tasks.

At each post they secure a key-

-which is in one of three well-sealed boxes.

They can only draw one box at a time.

- Shit. -Up, down... Up...

-Den, den... -To, to...

Try it and we'll keep looking at this one.

Remember that time is running out! Hurry up!

Shall we get this one up here?

Hell.

Is it better on the other side?

Come on, boys!

They are academics, not practitioners.

This doesn't work for me.

The breaking iron was oversized in relation to the boxes.

It was difficult to get into the cracks. We cooked quite a bit.

Now Egeland's hands are shaking.

Come on. Hell.

That one, yes!

Four. That's it. So and so is that.

The... Take this!

And that we run the same man on the task.

Maybe someone else will open the box?

Totally hair-raising that the smart people didn't understand-

- that they had to change men to open those boxes.

We lost a lot of time because I messed around a lot with the crowbar.

So maybe we should have had a better strategy there.

Then, folks, it's eight minutes. This disappears.

One less silver bar in the pot. It goes to me.

The players have spent 8 minutes, and lose one silver bar from the pot.

Should they use another 8 minutes, they lose everything.

-How many tasks left? -Two.

Come on, smart-gang! Good!

After, tears!

No, no, not Fridtjov again!

Damn. Come on, you're stronger than me.

-Good! - He opened it so fast!

Bra!

Give it all you've got!

Come on guys! What a few steps!

The cautious team gets the keys they need,-

-and now have to climb 10 metres with broken glass barefoot.

On the other side they must unlock four logs-

-that they have to take me back over the shards of glass.

Be careful, but you're running out of time!

Viggo, who is walking in front of me, gets a reaction-

-on the first step, and I manage to think that it hurts.

Breathe with your belly!

I think everyone agrees that if you dare to go for glass, -

- you are one of the roughest people in Forræder, without a doubt.

I am completely zen.

Are you kidding?

Great job, guys!

Damn, that's strong.

Good! Lovely!

It is good! You look like Jesus!

If you are quick, you can make it. You have only lost 1 silver bar.

-Come on! -Satan!

Look, Morten is running!

Lie down now.

The strong team must use the sticks to carry the lazy team to the finish line.

I am the one who booked this flight.

Totally calm!

-Oh, damn! - It works.

- More uncomfortable than I thought! -Go go!

-Yes! - Nice to contribute, guys.

Who's gonna carry the boats?

You don't know me, son!

Good the job.

Damn it, the coffin cracked.

One plank cracked.

Then I was afraid that the coffin would hit the ground.

He weighs a hundred kilos.

I should perhaps contribute a little, for example with carrying, but...

It's a good job, guys.

Ta her, ta her!

-Yes! -The!

- Did you hear the plank crack? - I'm going to lose weight now.

Damn, what a machine you are.

You looked like a mad warrior coming running.

There was good will, a good atmosphere and a good move.

I felt that there was a team spirit, so we will take a good day with us,-

- a good experience and lots of silver. It is also important.

Congratulations. Seven silver bars in the prize pool.

The real heroes are of course you on the lazy team, -

-but everyone must get. We also have individual premiums.

You can come forward one by one and get a small medallion.

David, we can start with you.

It was incredibly nice to get that medal in the end.

As the crowning glory for all of us.

Fin.

We have earned it. At least the ones that went on glass. Good, good!

But I suspect...

If I know Mads Hansen correctly, I guess this is-

-something to be used in the game.

Now we'll see what the deal with those medallions actually is.

It probably comes with something with the medallions, which is not an advantage.

But it will be interesting to see.

I don't know what they are for, but I understand that there is something about them.

I can't figure out what this is supposed to mean, and it annoys me.

Now the game is on.

Now we are here to enjoy ourselves and have a good time.

What is happening now?

I know how to play a game, but things come from here and there,-

-and then you get killed.

Enjoy it.

Fuck it. I will never have dinner at your place again.

Jon Martin did not tell the others that he turned down the traitor role.

See why at tv2.no/verræder.
