Original subtitles

- [Woman] This game is so stressful.

- [Woman] I cannot trust anyone.

- [Man] My absolute worst nightmare.

- 22 complete strangers from all across the UK

are about to enter this beautiful castle

in the Scottish Highlands to play the game of a lifetime

and to hopefully win up to 120,000 pounds.

They'll work together as a team-

- Oh, my God!

(woman screams)

(he retches)

- [Claudia] To build up that prize pot

by completing epic missions.

- [Man] We're buried alive.

(woman screams)

(man screams)

- [Claudia] But hidden amongst them are the Traitors,

who will secretly murder their fellow players at night,

eliminating them from the game.

It's up to the others to work out who the Traitors are

and banish them before they become their next victim.

- Yeah, I knew she was a Faithful the whole along.

- But is that because you're a Traitor?

- I'm not a Traitor, I swear on everything!

- Will you let me speak?

- [John] You're a liar and you're a liar.

- Oh, my God!

- [Amanda] We are never going to find them

if we keep arguing.

- It's exhausting.

- This is the ultimate game of deception, skill, and trust.

This is "The Traitors".

(uplifting music)

- I'm Amanda, I'm an estate agent

from Swansea and a grandma.

Having five children and five grandchildren,

I can spot a liar a mile away.

Let's have a little cwtch.

- Yeah, I'm so nervous right now.

I'm Aaron, I'm 24 years old.

Have you ever been here before at all?

- No, never been to Scotland.

- [Aaron] No, same. Here she is.

- Hi! - Hello!

- I'm quite like an open book.

Like, I'm quite easy to read. Like, I'm a salesman's dream.

What do you study at uni?

- International human rights.

It's basically just a posh politics degree. Very boring.

- Oh, number four. Here we go.

- Morning. - Hello!

- Sunny in Scotland.

- I know. - Yeah, I know, it's crazy.

- [John] Makes a change.

- My name is Andrea, I'm 72 years old.

I can't tell you how much I'm looking forward to this.

At my age, to have this chance in life.

- Oh, my God. I just can't believe it.

- It's wonderful to be on a steam train again.

I haven't been on one for years and years.

- This is already like an Agatha Christie novel.

- Hello!

- Hi! - Hi!

- I'm Alex, I'm 26.

I'm a presenter, actress, and social media content creator.

Oh!

- Oh, careful. - Don't stack it.

- I got a first in psychology from UCL,

but no one here needs to know that.

- Hello, mate, you all right?

- Hey, how's it going?

- Got another one. - Absolutely.

- Hello!

- Oh, another one, yeah. Can I join you?

- He's got pink hair.

- Nice to meet you. Tom.

Tom. Nice to meet you.

- Hello. - Hi, Tom.

- [Aaron] So, what is it that you do?

- I'm a magician. It's a weird one.

- Magician?! - Oh, no!

- No way! That's gonna be so good!

- The art of magic, there is some manipulation, you know,

deception, which, of course

I'm going to bring into this game,

but I'm gonna be keeping my cards close to my chest.

- I'm gonna be honest, I don't like magic

because I don't like not knowing how things are done.

(dramatic music)

- Oh, my God! Look, there it is!

- Oh, wow. - Oh, my God!

- We're going to Hogwarts! - We are going to Hogwarts.

- [John] Yeah, it's the Hogwarts Express.

- Yeah. - Magic.

- Hiya. - Hello.

- [Aaron] This is so good.

- [Tom] Thank you.

- Oh, it's moving.

Do you believe in the Loch Ness Monster?

- Oh! (laughs)

- That's a very good question.

- It is, isn't it?

I'm a motor mouth. Like, I don't have a filter.

I tell everybody everything.

I know.

I think I'm a very Marmite person.

Like, you either love me or you hate me when you meet me.

- What's your name?

- Alex. What's your name?

- My name's Matt, it's nice to meet you.

- Nice to meet you.

- Alex is very pretty. Let's say that.

You've got really good teeth.

- Thanks. You've got nice teeth as well.

- [Matt] Thanks. (laughs)

- Hi, guys.

- Hey, you all right? - Hi!

- It's lovely to meet you.

- [Alyssa] How nice to meet you.

- Hey!

- This is amazing!

- Yeah, it's so nice, isn't it?

- Oh, my God.

- I keep thinking it's like really low cloud,

but it's not, it's the steam off the train.

(all laugh)

- It's got that murder mystery vibe, though, innit?

You think where we are now and the train we're on-

- I already don't know who to trust

and everyone should be trustworthy.

- No. Yeah.

I'm ready to get cracking.

I've obviously got to mingle with people,

start building my alliances.

Let the games begin.

- Everyone's sizing each other up,

and that's the scary part.

- Yeah.

- Are you good at sussing people out?

- I'm just really accepting, I just don't judge people.

- I'm Amos, I'm 30 years old, and I'm a doctor from London.

Amongst my friendship group,

I'm probably the one that people rely on the most.

I'm quite dependable and I give good advice.

- Everybody, come on, here's to-

- Cheers. Let's do this.

- Nice to meet you, boys.

(dramatic music)

- From a train to a Jeep.

Look how beautiful that is.

- Yes, yes.

- [John] Oh, my God, this looks beautiful.

- We look like the Mafia.

- Oh, I know. I'm loving it, I'm loving it.

- I feel hard.

- Eyes peeled for castles, right?

- This is gonna be a wild ride, whatever happens.

- I just don't wanna be out first!

- No, you won't. - You won't.

- Please!

My name's Wilfred, I'm 28.

I work for one of the biggest UK charities.

I'm amazing at positive persuasion.

I'm good at ethical manipulation.

I think what we need to do when we're in the castle,

we need to break off into other groups

and make friends with them

so they don't wanna vote us off, but we stick together.

Like a puppet master.

Is that a good plan or not?

- Okay. It is. - Yeah, that's a good plan.

- Andrea's Angels.

(all laugh)

- Andrea's Angels.

- Andrea's Angels!

- Oh, this looks like the entrance to a castle.

- [Aisha] Oh, my God!

(all cheering)

(women gasp)

- Oh, now, it ain't small. That ain't small.

Oh, my God.

- Oh, my God, wow! - No way!

- Oh, my God!

(lady gasps)

- [Nicky] That looks amazing

- That is insane.

- Oh, I just got really nervous.

- Andrea's Angels. Andrea's Angels!

Andrea's Angels! Andrea's Angels! Andrea's Angels!

(all cheer)

- Here we go. - Here we go.

- [Man] Thank you.

- I'm so excited! - Goodbye.

- Oh, it's lovely. It's lovely.

(bird caws)

- Hello, everyone. Hello.

- Oh, my God!

(all cheer)

- That's my crush! That's my celebrity crush!

- So a huge welcome to the Scottish Highlands.

Did you enjoy the train?

- [All] Yes.

- Oh, well, we're gonna have such a great time together.

If you win this game, you could win up to 120,000 pounds.

(all cheer and applaud)

This is a game, and I just want you to know

that the game started when you got on the train.

I would like to start with a little exercise.

Why not? Sun's shining, we're by "The Traitors" castle.

What I would like you to really think about

is how far you're gonna make it in this game.

You've sussed each other out.

Do you secretly think, I'm the smartest one here?

Maybe now you've met, you think, do you know what?

I'm in over my head.

Then I would like you to get in a line, please.

Show me how well you're going do,

with most likely to win there-

- [Alex] Oh, my God!

- Least likely to win there. - Oh, my God.

- I know, I'm gonna go down this bottom end.

- I'm just walking up there.

I'm gonna win. I know I'm gonna win.

I'm Imran, I'm 23 years of age, from West Sussex.

I know I'm gonna win.

I achieved my PhD at the age of 22,

which for the discipline is the youngest in the world.

Certainly here to win this competition.

I can pull this off.

- I'm fine, I'm happy.

- I just wanted to blend in.

I was like, I don't really wanna stand out here.

- I spent so much time with Andrea on the train,

and I knew she was just amazing energy

and she could do anything.

I walked her straight to the front.

- [Man] I'm not going at the end, something's gonna happen.

- Does anybody wanna change their mind?

- I think just one up. Just one.

- I thought, I don't wanna be the cocky,

confident one at the end, thinking you've got this,

you're gonna win hands down.

So I thought, I'm just gonna rock up at the end space.

Shall we go right to (indistinct) then?

- Are you going down? - Yeah, man.

- Well, you've gone from the top to bottom.

- I'm coming to the end.

- Are you all absolutely sure of this?

This is the most likely, and this is the least likely.

So, Andrea and Imran, did you suss everyone out?

Did you think, do you know what, we'll take them?

- 100%, definitely. We're just gonna win.

- I go with whatever Imran says.

- Yeah. - Yeah.

- Okay, so let's go to the other end,

and we have Kieran and Amos.

Why do you think you're gonna come last?

- No expectations.

I'm gonna take it day by day and we'll see how we go.

- Maybe you're also showing your fellow players,

don't worry about us, we're just gonna go under the radar.

- I feel like the people in the middle

are probably doing that.

- [Claudia] Okay.

- The extremes are where you stick out.

The people that wanna fade into the background

are in the middle.

- Every decision you make,

every single one, has a consequence.

So you two, you think you're going lose?

I am gonna take you at your word,

so I'm afraid it's goodbye.

I'd like you to leave the grounds immediately.

- No!

- No, what? - What?

- [Wilfred] No!

- [Matt] No, that's not... No, no, no, no, no.

It's called "The Traitors".

(group groan and gasp)

- Complete and utter devastation.

- [Woman] Oh, no!

- No. - No!

- [Contestant] Oh, my God!

- Honestly, Claudia is a savage!

I know she's an icon and all, but she is not playing.

- Darling!

I was furious.

My immediate wish was to go and get hold of Claudia

and throw her over the balustrade.

Oh, oh.

- No cuddling, guys. That's a different show.

(group applauds)

- [Woman] Thank you, guys.

- [Claudia] Say goodbye.

- That was difficult.

- I think Amos and Kieran were trying to be chivalrous,

but that's not what the game is about.

It's about being ruthless, and it's backfired.

- Backfired massively.

- Okay.

The rest of you.

So as you can see, every decision has a consequence.

Nothing is just for fun.

Let me explain what's gonna happen.

Soon, I am going to choose my Traitors.

You, under the cover of darkness,

can murder one of your fellow players every single night,

therefore removing them from the game.

The rest of you will be my Faithfuls.

Now, you have to work out who the Traitors are amongst you

and banish them from the game.

Get them before they get you.

Remember, there is 120,000 pounds to win.

There are 20 of you now, but at the end,

if there are any Traitors left in your midst,

they take all the money.

- Not gonna happen.

- Welcome, then, to "The Traitors".

Who's ready for a cup of tea and a magical scone?

(all cheer)

In you come. Come in, come in.

(all chatter excitedly)

- [Andrea] Nice. Nice, nice.

- [John] Wow.

- [Andrea] Nice. Home.

- [Man] I'm shaking! I was shaking.

- The castle is stunning.

- Oh, my God!

It was just absolutely beautiful.

I've never seen anything like it before.

- Oh, my God! Let's just go everywhere!

Let's go explore everywhere!

- It's really cool. I think I'm gonna get lost, though.

I'm following you! (screams)

- Oh, my God, there's a bar there, it's gonna be...

Whoa! It's a pool table!

- Come on, let's be nosy. Let's be nosy.

- [Aisha] Oh, this is very, like-

- [Tom] Banging! Got a bar!

- Oh, we've got a bar! - I'll take that.

- Very stately homey.

It was giving me, like, "Bridgerton" vibes.

I would have this sofa in my room.

- Could you fit this in your room?

- No. - That's the problem, you see.

But with 120 grand...

- I could fit it in my room.

- [Tom] You can fit it in your room.

- [Andrea] Oh, this is the library.

This is where I am. I love libraries.

- [Man] Yeah, it's stunning.

- [Andrea] I love libraries.

- [Wilfred] This is like Cluedo, guys.

- Colonel Mustard in the library with a dagger.

(they laugh)

- [Fay] Ooh! Look at this!

- Oh, this looks nice.

Feels like having dinner with the Queen.

Oh, my God! Guys.

- [Fay] Oh, my God!

- [Rayan] That's us!

Guys, get in here. Have a look at this, this is sick.

- [Fay] That's wicked. Them up there!

- That's us! - Look!

- Oh!

- Oh! Oh!

- [Amanda] Oh, look.

- Oh, amazing.

- Oh! You're really good.

- Not bad. Come on, come on.

- Kieran and Amos, yeah? - Yeah.

- Did you bond with them?

- Yes, and I feel sad.

- But I was on the train,

I was literally on the train seat with Amos,

and then the guy didn't even get to see the castle.

Like, before we even walk in.

All of a sudden, two people are gone.

I can't explain how much it's messed with everyone's mind.

- [Matt] I'm gonna go outside and get some air.

- They must have been gutted.

- I'm devastated.

I was nearly crying out there.

- I think that fundamentally changed the way

that I was thinking.

I thought, I need to be here and I need to play the game.

You just meet complete strangers

and you bond with them really quickly,

and then all of a sudden that's taken away in an instant.

- Just gone.

- I don't know if I'm gonna be able to cope with that.

- I don't think I will.

- [Alex] Oh, my God! I love peacocks.

If it splays its tail, does that mean it's threatening us?

- [Matt] No, I think that means it's showing off, no?

I'm gonna call him Gary.

- Gary the peacock? Oh!

- Go on, Gary.

- So pretty.

Having Kieran and Amos ripped away so quickly today,

I'm like, oh, my gosh, it's gonna be so painful having,

like, people who you make friends with

just ripped away just like that.

To be honest, I've just come in here

and I want to be myself.

I think I'm a fun, nice person, I love to get involved.

Someone who you got really close with

suddenly is not gonna be there any more,

or you might even, like, I might even,

just be sent home for whatever reason.

- I'd be gutted.

- I kind of wanna be everyone's friend

and I don't wanna get too close to anyone in particular

because not only am I keeping the acting a secret,

the psychology a secret, another big secret I'm keeping

is that my boyfriend is also in this game.

Tom.

Yeah, we're keeping that to ourselves.

- Who do you think's one to watch?

Matt and Aaron, they're very close and I'm kind of jealous.

Maybe I'm just jealous.

- Matt's got a massive crush on Alex,

but he can't let her see that photo.

- Really?! - That's awful!

- They're gonna be running off together.

Oh, God, that's my girlfriend, it's fine.

Alex is playing the game, though.

She's good, trust me.

- We need to keep that top secret,

because if anyone sees us having an alliance,

that would be awful.

So I flirted a bit with Matt,

so it's kind of throwing the bait somewhere else.

It's hard, though, 'cause I wanna, like,

make sure he's okay, tell him I love him,

but I'm just kind of distancing myself

and acting like I've just met him for the first-ever time.

- The view is insane.

- So far, I think, so good.

- I haven't properly met you yet.

- Yeah, I'm Theo, nice to meet you.

- I'm Maddy, nice to meet you.

- [Theo] What do you do for work?

- So, I work in a care home.

I used to do Scrabble and stuff like that,

but now I'm just on reception, like doing receptionist.

- [Theo] Yeah.

- But my grandad is coming to the care home in a few weeks.

- [Theo] Aw!

- My name's Maddy, and I'm 29, and I'm an actress, right,

but I've not said anything downstairs.

I haven't lied about it, I just haven't mentioned it.

- At least you can be, like, close contact with him now.

- I know. - That'll be quite good.

- I feel like I'll see him every day, yeah.

- [Meryl] That's quite good.

- I do work in a care home.

Just didn't want them to think I was dodgy.

No way! Oh, that's amazing.

Being an actor, I think it will help me

because I did play Lady Macbeth and we're in a castle.

I don't know.

Maybe I should've just said from the beginning

'cause honesty's the best policy probably.

- It'll be like we're having a constant surprise party.

Like, "Surprise!"

- [Theo] "Surprise, you're going home!"

- [Meryl] "Surprise! You're going home."

- "Surprise! Every two minutes, another two people go home."

That's it.

- People think I'm quite, like, silly sometimes

or, like, say stupid things,

but, I did get a B at AS Maths,

so, hello!

No, I'm joking!

- They might all be friendly now,

but shortly there will be two sides,

the Traitors and the Faithful.

But who are the Traitors?

We're about to find out.

120,000 pounds.

What would it mean to you?

- I see there my hand.

I see my bionic hand that costs an awful lot of money,

and that will help me achieve that.

- It'll change my life,

but I think it'll change, like, my mum's life as well

'cause I try and help her out as much as possible.

- We're all in it for the money.

(they gasp)

- Oh, wow! - Oh, wow!

- Aah! - Oh, my God!

- Wow! - Look at that.

- I have my house, I have a lot of animals,

so, yeah, it'd be bloody useful.

- It's really nice being an author and I chose that path,

but I don't earn very much money.

- Whoa! - Oh, my gosh.

- [Man] Look at the gold!

- [Fay] Fabulous!

- We're all here to play a game.

As much as people are nice,

there is a lot of money on the table,

so if a backstabbing needs to happen, it needs to happen.

- It'd make a huge difference to me,

but it's what you've got to do to get it, isn't it?

- Especially when there's a prize on the line,

it's dog-eat-dog, and, Claudia, I'm starving.

- Welcome to the Round Table,

the beating heart of this show.

Take a look into the eyes of those around you,

because right now, you are equals.

You're on the same footing.

Maybe you've become friends.

Have a good look at each other.

This is the last time you can take each other at face value.

In just a few minutes, that will no longer be the case.

Which suits your personality the most?

- A Traitor. - Why?

- The mundane scares me, I want to feel that adrenaline.

- [Claudia] Could you be a Traitor?

- Yes.

- Could you be a Faithful?

- Yes.

- That makes my job very difficult.

- I think I'd make a good Traitor.

- Go on.

- So I'd be the mum role, and then murder them at night.

- I'm a Faithful.

Do you know, like, in your morals?

- Yeah.

- But I don't wanna get killed at night, that's the thing.

I watch a lot of crime drama,

and I feel like, so at least if you're a Traitor,

you're in control of that.

- Everybody I spoke to wants to be a Faithful.

Yeah, okay, then!

Everyone I've spoke to, "Oh, I'm here for the experience."

- Yeah, all right, then. So am I!

- I would love to be a Traitor.

I think a lot of people underestimate me,

and people see me as being, you know,

the five-foot, little Asian girl,

and that's their first mistake.

- How good are you at lying?

- Pretty okay. - Yeah?

- Yes. I've worked for the British Government,

you have to be quite good!

(both laugh)

- [Claudia] You used to be in the police.

- I did, yeah.

- So you know when people are lying.

- Absolutely. I'm very good at sniffing out liars.

- The moment has come for the Traitors to be selected.

Everyone, please put on your blindfolds.

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

(intense music)

- Bloody hell.

- You know, when Claudia's circling,

it's like a shark circling her prey.

But the whole time,

I was trying to manifest that touch on my shoulder.

And then she did it.

Oh! To be honest, it was relief.

- Not gonna lie, it's very intense in there.

Suddenly your friends can become your enemies.

- I could feel people around me panting.

Honestly, I could hear them breathing heavily.

- I'm smiling and I'm thinking,

I can't believe it, I can't believe it.

- Oh, when she tapped me on the shoulder,

I thought, oh, God, I'm so excited, it's in arm's reach.

I've got to hold my hands out like that and grab it.

- I have selected my Traitors.

The rest of you will be known as the Faithfuls.

The course of the game has now been set.

You may now remove your blindfolds.

Traitors, you will discover each other's identities

later tonight.

Your job, to murder the Faithful.

Faithfuls, your job is to work out who the Traitors are

and then banish them from the game.

If a Traitor is banished,

those remaining might get the chance

to convert a Faithful and recruit them into their clan.

Clear?

Shortly, you'll all go on your first mission

to start building the prize fund.

Definitely wear warm clothes, I'll see you out the front.

Oh, tiny thing, forgot to mention,

tonight one of you will be murdered by the Traitors.

Good luck, all.

(tense music)

- It was quite intense.

Yes, my adrenaline started going, I was so excited.

I thought, I'm in the game to play, and play it well.

- I was blind.

Like, I literally was blind in that moment

because I was so busy trying to not attract any attention

that I really didn't read anybody else.

- Immediately, what's going on in my head is like,

okay, what's not suspicious, what can I do?

Like, I need to think like a Faithful.

Gosh, I'm literally like.

It's the amount of laps she did.

- Yeah, same.

- Every time, every time, I could literally

feel the hairs at the back of my neck being like...

- [John] I know.

- I was just thinking, WWFD, what would a Faithful do?

- You were exactly like me.

I could hear your breathing, like.

- I'm looking at the people that are looking a bit-

- Yeah, like I'm trying to find out who's, like, sheepish.

- Well, I can tell who's sheepish.

- [Matt] Yeah?

- Could I ask everyone a favor?

Can we all drink water so we don't...

- Yeah. - I know!

- Can we all drink some water?

- [Claire] Cheers.

- [All] Cheers!

- To the Faithful.

- [All] To the Faithfuls!

- Nicky didn't raise her glass.

All I saw was just, that's an opportunity for me.

I don't know, is she, isn't she?

But it doesn't matter because she's not me.

You know, all I see is that's me lasting another night.

That's me at the Round Table clear,

so I think I had to plant the seed about Nicky.

Nicky didn't drink when we cheersed.

Cheers to you.

- Cheers.

- And just to know that you're actively manipulating

and lying to these people and they have no idea,

and there is adrenaline.

There is a thrill about that, for sure.

- And I'm just so excited.

I just wanna get out there and start doing things now

and getting these murders done.

- [Wilfred] Oh, look!

- [Fay] Lovely!

- I was trying really hard to look for anything,

something, but-

- [Rayan] I know, like, there was-

- [Maddy] Yeah, I couldn't see anything.

- I think everyone looked the same.

- I know, everyone was just cheery!

I was looking around and I'm trying to think, you know,

who's on my team now?

But I wasn't sure what I was even looking for.

I cannot wait to find out who the other Traitors are.

- I'm still just as clueless as I was 20 minutes ago,

to be honest!

Nothing's changed.

- You have to keep undercover.

I just take myself out of that zone.

I'm a Faithful when I'm with everybody.

- I don't really know how to investigate properly, though.

- Well, I think we'll have to all be very careful.

- You have to be careful what you share at all times.

- To others. To others.

- 'Cause you never know who you're talking to.

- We know that someone's gonna be murdered,

and obviously we don't know how many Traitors there are.

There's six of us here, so the chances, I'm not being rude,

but one of us could be a Traitor.

- Yeah, yeah, yeah. Exactly.

- And it ain't me!

It's true.

- But they could be sat together in there, couldn't they?

(Matt sighs)

- This is confusing me already, I'm not gonna lie.

- [Amanda] I'm a bit like that.

- Matt, I feel like he's not as slack as he lets on.

It's an easy card, innit?

Just play completely dumb and nobody will suspect.

- How are you feeling after that?

- [Amanda] We're just saying that-

- I was disappointed. I actually wanted to be a Traitor.

- No!

- So I was sort of going, go on, Claudia!

- [Wilfred] At least you're honest!

- Yeah, I'm very honest about this.

- It's game time.

- It's game time. - It is game time.

- Get strapped in.

I feel shook, I'm vulnerable.

I'm panicking, my heart's going,

pitter-patter, pitter-patter, pitter-patter!

- Now I'm panicking! Now I'm panicking!

My main objective was to try and figure out

who I can make friends with that are outgoing

that everybody's gonna see me making friends with,

'cause then when I murder them,

people would never think it was me.

- It's just so early to guess that I think I might just,

I'm just gonna keep trusting people-

- [Nicky] You're gonna drive yourself fucking mad.

- [Rayan] Until they give me a reason not to.

- I'm the opposite.

I'm gonna trust no one until they give me a reason

to trust them.

- You obviously wanna figure out who it is,

but you don't wanna be too strategic

that they get threatened by you and then you're done here.

- Yeah, for sure.

- Alyssa seems like a really honest person,

which could be really helpful to help us find the Traitors.

I think we've just got to accept that we have,

unless one of you's a Traitor,

we have no power over what happens when they meet.

- We just have to- - We just have to take it in.

- [Woman] That's the scary part.

- I'm in my role now. It's method acting.

- I was just sat in mothers meeting

with all the rest of them

and they're talking really serious stuff-

- I know, it's too much.

- Is she, the black lady, called Fay?

- Yeah. - Who was sat next to you?

I saw her, like, proper scanning the room

and looking at everyone, and then I saw her talking.

- Oh!

- And I thought, oh, my God,

just have a day off, love, like...

(all laugh)

- Amanda was there.

- I know it's not Amanda. - Yeah.

- It's not Amanda.

- I was looking at her and-

- I looked at her dead in the eyes and it was not her.

I was like, it's not her.

- I don't think it's her.

- There is no way.

I mean, if it is, I'll be gutted.

- Yeah, I'll be very surprised.

(eerie music)

- All right, everyone, gather round.

Very, very good outfits.

It is time for your first mission.

Your prize fund currently is at zero.

But remember, it's up to you all collectively

to build that prize pot and win up to 120,000 pounds, yes?

Sounds good.

(group cheers)

And all the drama, quietly weeping inside, that is gone,

because it doesn't matter whether you're a Traitor

or a Faithful.

On the missions, you work as a team

and you build up that prize fund.

Are you ready?

- [All] Yes!

- Okay, go and get in the cars and I'll meet you there.

(group cheers)

- [Woman] I'm terrified.

- [Man] The drama, the drama.

- [Aisha] Woo-hoo!

- And we're off. Okay, let's go!

I'm so excited to see what Claudia's got in store for us.

- Big question, who do we think's gonna go out first?

- I mean, I think people are gonna target the people

who do the worst on challenges.

- [Nicky] Who do you think's gonna-

- [Imran] Yeah, if we keep the price money of zero,

anybody could be Traitors or Faithfuls,

it really doesn't matter.

- [Nicky] You need to bring the money home.

- [Theo] I see a boat, guys.

We're not going out in that, are we?

- [Woman] Oh, I don't know.

- [Amanda] It's not canoeing or something?

- What are these two things?

Look! Look, look, look, look, they look like giant deers.

What are they?

Shit's just got real.

Oh, my God.

- [Matt] Oh, I'm so scared!

I'm looking at water and fire.

- [Woman] Oh, my God!

- Are you ready for your first mission?

- [All] Yes!

- Now, the aim of the game

is ignite these magnificent beasts, you've got 30 minutes,

and put 15,000 pounds into your prize fund.

(group cheers)

But you are racing against the clock.

In order to get your beasts lit on time,

you're gonna have to split into two teams of 10.

Six of you from each team will remain here.

You have to find and collect all the pieces of rope,

dip them into flammable liquid,

and tie them together to make a long fuse.

The minute you've done that, sound your foghorn,

and your fellow teammates, who are further down the loch,

will row back with a flaming torch,

and you will light the beast.

But if you don't do it in time, you get nothing.

As you can see, it is windy, it is choppy.

Really think about your four

that you're gonna put in the boat.

- [Fay] Oh, my God!

- Please, players, get into two teams.

- Okay, so I'll be on this team, right?

- Right, who's rowing? - Is there four rowers here?

- Yeah, you go that side, we'll go this side.

You row on that side.

- It's a big group of people

and you have to pool your resources together

to get the biggest amount of money,

and I noticed the young alpha male boys

all congregating together.

- Have we got 10?

- You try not to take it personally, but you kind of go,

maybe they think you can't do the things that they can do.

- [Ivan] One, two, three, four, five. Yeah, 10, right.

- Good, I like it, you're decisive.

You are blue and you are green.

The first team that lights the beast

gets 10,000 pounds in the prize fund.

The team that comes second gets 5,000 pounds.

But the Traitors are watching,

and they need any excuse to murder somebody tonight,

so pull your weight.

I'm with you in spirit.

Obviously, I'll be having a massage and eating shortbread,

but I'm with you.

Good luck.

(tense music)

Your time starts now!

- [Man] Okay, guys, we need one dipper.

- [Matt] Right, get the rope, set it on fire,

bring it over there.

- [Aaron] Right, let's just go, let's just go.

- So six people had to be on land, find rope,

dip them in this fluid to make it ignite

and connect to this massive wicker statue.

And once the land team did that,

then we had the flame on the other side

to be able to row across

and light the fuse to light the wicker man.

- Go! - Let's go. Go on, greens!

- Come on! - Come on, guys!

- Go on!

- [Matt] Right, there's one here. There's one here already.

- [Hannah] Let's go! Here you are, here you are, come on.

- It was crazy. I mean, it was all go, go, go.

It was a lot of pressure to untie everything,

and using your fingers, so it was all really intense.

- Hey, guys? Guys?

- There's one there, one there.

- Come on, guys, we've fucking got this!

- Remember, the fuse won't be ready until it's primed

with that flammable liquid.

- [Hannah] What the fuck is going on?

We can't open it.

- Why can't we open it?

- [Woman] We need to be looking for a key

for the flammable liquid.

- What?!

We didn't realize that in order to open the barrels,

we had to find a key.

- Guys! They key! Key! - Have you got the key?

- [Rayan] Okay, how many are left?

- So we found the chain,

which weighed probably three times as much as me,

and then we had to go through the keys to get the lid off.

- Twist it. - Right, twist it.

- [Nicky] No, it's not the right one, then,

'cause there's other keys.

- [Alyssa] Yes, got the first one!

- The green team got the first key

that they tried, opened it,

and we were there still 10 minutes later trying keys.

- [Hannah] Right, let's make a note

of what ones we've tried, right?

- So we lost a little bit of time there.

- Yes! - Yes, we've got it.

- [Woman] We've got it, we've got it, we've got it.

- [Andrea] Okay, right.

- [Rayan] Okay, start dipping.

- Teams, a third of your time has gone.

- [Nicky] Come on! Just everyone get tying.

- The green team are so far ahead.

Come on, blues!

Come on, Andrea! Come on, Nicky!

- Someone with two hands needs to tie it!

- I know a lot of people were quite impressed with Nicky

and how she was pulling the team together.

- Get out there and get tying them, right?

- But a mission isn't just all about the screaming

and the leading.

- We need people up there with two hands tying.

- Right, I'll go.

- You can do more than one at one time.

Go, go, get tying!

- I was just sort of directing people,

just shouting, basically, at everyone, loudly.

Come on, just everyone get tying!

I'll probably get murdered now.

- [Woman] Oh, shit, we're so close!

- [Woman] Come on, guys, we're doing so well.

- The green team are nearly finished with their fuse.

- [Alyssa] I've got one more!

- [Amanda] Come on, you lot, we only need a couple more!

- Shit! We're nearly there, we're there.

Smashed it.

I'm really proud of us, 'cause it happened really fast.

I don't know how we managed to do it so quickly.

- [] Yes, yes, yes, yes, yes.

- Sound it! Sound it!

- There's one here. - Matt.

(foghorn blares)

- Green team, go! - Yes, come on!

- [Tom] Right, okay.

- [Imran] Seriously? Blues are taking a while.

- Come on!

- So the green team have blown the foghorn,

so their team-mates can start rowing, holding the torch.

- Ready? You guys good?

Get in, get in, get in, get in.

- And pull! Right hand in, pull them both in.

There we go, yeah. And pull.

And pull! Now you're good, get in a rhythm.

- [Alyssa] Bring it home!

Bring it home, baby!

- [Ivan] In!

- [Theo] Yeah.

- Hold it, that's it, there we go.

Just calm, and in.

I didn't want to stand out as much as I did.

In. Both of you at the same time, please.

I really want to be middle of the pack.

That was part of my strategy from the beginning.

Never be the loudest guy in the room.

And the first chance I'm given, I take the lead.

- Oh, come on, blues! What are they doing?

- Be honest, Will, everyone who's old is on our team.

- Yeah, but that's the brain side, man.

- But clearly brain side

doesn't equate to results, though, does it?

It's always a little annoying being on the losing team,

but it's important to remember,

the teams weren't fair to begin with.

The green team were younger, they're more vibrant,

so we were disadvantaged in many ways.

But, yeah, annoying.

Use your eyes!

Seriously, man!

I'm trying to stretch the cords we have.

- [Andrea] Yeah? Okay.

- We put all these knots together and then we realized

we're still short to light the fuse, what are we gonna do?

And we started just stretching the knots a little.

- [Nicky] Right, I think, you know what?

- [Aisha] What?

- Just keep going.

- Guys, half your time has gone.

- That's it, and both. In, that's it, brilliant!

And in.

- I can see the boat, I can see the flame.

The green boat is here.

- [Amanda] Keep rowing, guys, you're doing amazing!

- Come on, guys. - Yes! Yes, yes, yes, yes!

(all shouting over each other)

(women scream)

(green team cheer)

- [] Watch out!

- [Matt] Let's go!

- [Claudia] So the green team have burnt their beast.

The clock is still ticking, they don't have long.

- We're nearly there, come on. - Keep going, keep going.

- [Andrea] Here we are, we're there.

- [Nicky] Keep going!

No, we're not, we're not.

- Yes, we are. - Wait a minute.

- We've reached it! - Tie the knot! Tie your knot!

(foghorn blares)

- We can go! Go on, John!

- Come on, John!

- [Wilfred] Come on, Johnny boy!

- The mission itself, the green team definitely did better.

We were just waiting on the blue team.

I wasn't sure what the error was there,

but they took a bloody long time, that's for sure.

Push.

- [Meryl] Forward!

- Come on!

- They don't have long. Come on!

(all cheer encouragement)

Why are they going that way?

- [Imran] Wait, wait, we're going the wrong way.

We're going the wrong way. - Shit, shit. Shit!

- Wait, wait, wait, wait. - This way, this way.

Make sure you're pushing the paddle away from you.

- You've got three minutes. Move!

- Come on.

- Come on, keep going, you're doing well, guys.

You're doing really well, keep going.

- [All] Heave-ho! Heave-ho! Heave-ho! Heave-ho!

- [John] Keep it steady. Keep it straight.

- [Woman] Come on, guys! Come on!

- I don't know if it was the intensity of the mission,

but it made me gag, and as soon as I gagged, I was gone.

It wasn't my brightest hour.

I'm hoping the other players won't hold it against me.

- Right, John, run! John, run!

- You've got seconds remaining. Move, John!

(all shouting and cheering)

(woman screams)

(blue group cheers)

So both beasts are lit within the timeframe.

They've banked 15,000 pounds.

(all cheering)

- Absolutely buzzing. I want the money, money, money.

- Well done. Green, you came first.

Blue team, well done, you did it just in the nick of time.

(all cheer)

Very well done.

What you want now is a pina colada-

- Pina colada! I love a pina colada.

- And a ready salted crisp.

I can provide everything we need for a party.

I will see you at the castle.

Off you go, off you go.

- [Meryl] It was a once in a lifetime experience.

- It was, yeah. - Well, yeah.

It's not every day you burn a wicker man, is it?

(all laugh)

- I think that everyone worked together really...

I mean, it shows because we got 15 grand.

- Well, I see a little bit of a different side to Imran.

- [Hannah] Did you?

- Yeah, and even when we were waiting for the other people,

he was getting really, really frustrated.

- There's something about him that is just off.

- I think everyone played to their strengths, though.

Like, you shouting at everyone worked,

do you know what I mean?

- Sometimes you just need direction.

Ivan's probably more calm and collected.

I'm like, "Do this!" Drill Sergeant.

- But who do we think's going to be murdered?

There's Traitors in a couple of these cars.

- I did see something suspicious.

- Oh! - Go on.

- Go on.

- So, you know, when we raised our glasses?

One person didn't raise their glass.

- You said that, who was that?

- It was Nicky.

- Nicky didn't do this?

- She didn't raise her glass, and she looked at others.

- [Rayan] That could be an unconscious thing, yeah.

- I don't like the idea of thinking,

like, I have a few people who I think

are more likely to be Traitor than Faithful,

and, like, Nicky, really isn't one of them.

- It's a natural instinct when everybody says,

"Cheese!" even with a camera, you smile.

- Yeah, it means her brain was somewhere else.

- I don't wanna think about it, is my thing.

- [Amanda] We just have to find out

who the Traitors are add get them out.

- We've all just won that money together,

and now they've got to kill somebody.

They've now got to take that guilt on,

so that's gonna eat away at them slowly.

Tonight's gonna be hard for them.

Oh well, guys, let's just get glammed up

and enjoy this cocktail party!

Get your bosoms out, ladies, we're gonna get down tonight!

Ha-ha!

- [Woman] Whee!

(ominous music)

- Ooh-hoo-hoo! Yes.

- Oh, it is fantastic, it's nice.

- It's nice. Oh-ho-ho!

- [John] Faithful Fancy, Traitors Tipple.

- [Aisha] Oh, no, because I want that one,

but I'm not a Traitor.

- Do you know what? There's an easy way of fixing this.

- [Aaron] No, I don't think you're allowed to do that.

- Oh! - Are we allowed to do that?

- [Wilfred] Oh!

- [Aaron] Lovely! Syke!

- Well done.

- [John] Well, cheers, guys.

Well done to winning 15,000 pounds.

- To 15K! - 15K, well done.

- Whey-hey!

- Oh, I could murder a cocktail.

A party's gonna be great.

It's so nice to get dressed up as well.

- Cheers. - Did you just try my drink?

- Yeah, I tried to see how strong it was.

- Ah, Alex is great, she's lovely.

- You've got your beanie on.

- I know, I'm happy, I'm over the moon.

- [Rayan] I just wanna tell the lovely people,

do you like my socks?

- She's got good teeth, good eyes, good face,

she's easy to talk to, it's just all good.

- I think you look better without the hat.

- No, it's a rumor.

- I already know what Matt's weakness is gonna be.

He really fancies Alex.

- No comment, officer!

- [Man] Here she is!

- Yay! - The party can finally start.

- Now it can go, girls.

And boys!

- This is going down really well.

- Cheers.

- Thank you, cheers.

- Hello?

Players?

- [Rayan] Claudia's coming.

I swear to God, Claudia's about to drop a ball.

- Here they come. Gather in.

Are you enjoying your cocktails?

- [All] Yes.

- You did brilliantly today, you deserve a great night,

so drink, bond, have fun.

I don't wanna get all Cinderella about it,

but when that grandfather clock chimes

at the end of the evening,

you have to leave immediately

because it means the murdering hour has begun.

Tonight, the Traitors will commit their first murder.

If you are murdered tonight, you will never be seen again,

and you'll be out of the game forever.

So, on that delightful note,

enjoy your drinks, enjoy each other,

and I will see most of you at breakfast tomorrow.

Night-night.

- Shit.

- Well, that killed the mood.

- Murder on the dance floor?

Once your clock strikes,

someone's gonna lose their slipper for good.

(clock ticks)

- Like, if you were a Traitor right now,

from their perspective, what are they looking at?

Like, probably who's gonna be most valuable.

Like, even for the Traitors,

it's gonna be really, like,

just reverse psychology, isn't it?

- I think we're all really apprehensive

about the first murder.

Nobody wants to be the first.

And, yeah, I would be very disappointed.

- [Meryl] I'll see you guys soon.

- See you in a bit. - Bye!

- She's adorable.

Really genuine people.

- I don't think that about everybody,

but I do think that about them.

- Who do you feel is being disingenuous, then?

- Fay's not genuine, she does my fucking head in.

Fay, she's, like, a bit too, like, aware of what's going on.

Like, her eyes were darting, like, left and right,

constantly watching everyone.

And I'm just like, "Love, give you eyeballs a rest,

"you're gonna give them whiplash."

- We all want to be tactical, I mean,

we wanna get them out at the same time,

but you have to think how tactical can you go

that you don't wanna seem like a threat?

- The only way we can, I'm saying "we" like we're all...

(group laughs)

- What?! Whoa, whoa, whoa, whoa, whoa!

That's below the belt.

- Theo called out Imran,

and I don't think Imran's a Traitor,

but I have nothing wrong with Theo

calling out other players at this time,

so I'll support him with that

because it makes me a bit safer.

- [Theo] Well, I've just been calling people out

left, right and center, me.

- Have you? - Yeah, good.

- I've literally just been in the billiards room

and called out Imran.

- [Maddy] No!

- Yeah, fully. Fully called him out.

- [Maddy] No!

- He literally crumbled in himself.

- I think the quote was,

"Well, that was just below the belt."

- They're all nervous.

It's gone from a quick drink to business.

There's names being mentioned and thrown around,

so it's starting to get a bit tense down there.

- I'm a gay man, I'm used to calling people out!

- You need to be careful.

You don't wanna call them out with,

like, you don't wanna die, I don't want you dying tonight.

- I don't want you to die, Theo.

- [Fay] If I'm not here for breakfast tomorrow,

I had a nice time.

- Same. - Yeah, me too.

- I really enjoyed it.

- [John] Me too.

* Morning after dark *

- [Rayan] Everyone's, like, done something-

- [Meryl] I know.

- [Nicky] I just knew that we've got...

(clock chimes)

* You're gonna break my heart *

- Oh!

- Shit!

(clock chimes)

- There we go. - Shit. Oh, shit.

- [Ivan] All right, guys.

- Let's not sit here.

Cheers, girls, it was a really lovely experience.

What will be, will be.

(clock chimes)

- If this is the last time getting to see you, guys,

much love, you guys have all been amazing.

- Love you. - I hope to see you tomorrow.

- Much love, much love. - I love you, Tom.

- [Tom] Much love.

- For everyone else, it's just a normal gong, let's go home,

but for us, it's time to murder.

* I've lived this lie for too long *

- I'm quite excited to meet the other Traitors

and get the murder done and get one out.

- Just feel like it's my game now.

I have that power to kind of kill off who I want.

To be honest, it's thrilling.

(clock chimes)

- As the clocks have chimed, it can only mean one thing.

The Traitors are ready to murder.

Now, to keep the Traitors' identity a secret,

all the players are taken to their individual lodgings

where they're not allowed to see or talk to anyone.

But for the Traitors, the night has only just begun.

(ominous music)

You are about to enter the Traitors' Turret.

Before I hand you your cloak

and the identity of your fellow Traitors are revealed,

I'm gonna ask you to take the Traitor's oath.

Do you promise to lie and deceive throughout the game?

- Totally, I do.

- Are you willing to murder a fellow player every night?

- I do.

- And do you vow to keep your identity

and the identity of your fellow Traitors a secret?

- I promise.

- Okay, this is yours.

You are now officially a Traitor.

Happy murdering.

- Thank you.

- Off you go.

I hope you're happy.

- I was standing there,

I was obviously the first person there,

so I'm like, who's coming through this door?

- It was just knowing that the person stood across from me

is a fellow Traitor and they have been lying to me all day,

and I to them.

- Oh, my God! No!

No!

Alyssa, the, like, the fake vulnerable person.

She's, like, been acting.

She's playing the game massively well.

You are, like, off the radar.

I think we're in a really sick position.

Like, nobody knows.

I haven't heard your name once.

- I haven't heard your name.

- Once, I swear on my life.

I think we could win, man, I'm not even being-

- We have to.

He's playing the happy chappy that we all know and love.

He doesn't really care about the game

and he's in it for a laugh.

Wow, I was surprised.

- We sat in there and blamed Imran!

(Alyssa laughs)

We played them!

- I'm so glad I can talk to someone about this,

because the amount of shit I've said...

(ominous music)

Amanda!

- [Wilfred] Amanda!

(Alyssa squeals)

Oh, my God!

- When we all looked at each other, I thought,

great, we've got a good team here.

In terms of intel, we're covering a lot of bases

between the three of us.

- Definitely.

You've got your little group, you've got your group,

and I've got my little group.

- It's like we're invisible.

- The Traitors' job is to murder.

I know tonight is just gonna be so tricky,

but at the same time, we have to do what we have to do.

Listen, these are the suspects at the moment, right?

Fay.

- [Amanda] Nicky.

- [Wilfred] Nicky and...

- [All] Imran.

- They're the three that everyone's going for,

so we can't kill any of them today

'cause they're gonna get banished tomorrow anyway.

- Yeah, all I'm saying is

that's three nights we're safe from the Round Table.

- Yes, yes. - Yeah, yeah.

- Yeah. - Yep, yep, yep, yep.

We need to figure out who they hate for them to think,

oh, they've definitely killed them.

- Yeah, we need to be a step ahead each time, though.

- Yeah.

We need to make a statement tonight.

- I know.

- A big one, like, rah.

- I love Theo, but he would be a really great ploy

in this, I'm sorry.

Theo is the popular kid around here.

- Yes. - That's the truth.

- He actually confronted Imran today.

- Yeah.

- If we took out Theo, people are gonna go to Imran.

- Yeah.

- This is what you've got to think, right?

We're gonna kill Theo, they're gonna banish Imran.

Imran is gonna stand up and say, "Faithful."

They're gonna be like, well, who killed Theo?

- Mm-hm. They have no ties to us, though.

- Imran was like, "Yeah, we was at a disadvantage

"'cause we had all the older people."

- You're right.

- So I was gonna delete an older person

thinking that they'll be like, oh, my God,

it's definitely him 'cause he only cares

about the strong to make the money.

- Yeah.

A lot of people had said that Andrea

wasn't the strongest competitor.

- [Wilfred] She'd be a good one to take out because-

- Everyone loves-

- Everyone loves her. - Yeah.

- [Alyssa] I also find her a threat.

- Yeah.

And also I was thinking cliques, the young lot.

- Matt and Aaron.

- [Wilfred] Are they a threat, do you think?

- I don't think Aaron is.

- But I think cliques are a threat.

I don't think they're a threat individually,

a clique is a threat.

- Yes.

- We've got Aisha and we've got Alex,

who's very close to them as well.

Herd mentality, that's four votes.

- Yes.

- Yeah.

- Cliques are so dangerous at this point in time.

- Yeah, you need to break them up.

- And Aisha, right,

I promise you, I can tell she wanted to be a Traitor.

- [Amanda] Yeah, she did.

- She'll do anything to just to find out who that is.

- Yeah.

- Do we take Aisha out, or do we take Theo out?

Or Andrea?

(ominous music)

It's got to be, I think.

- Yeah.

- God, I thought it'd be easier saying that, than it is.

- So how are you gonna feel about it,

committing that first murder?

- Do you know what?

- Absolutely fine.

It's them or us. It's them.

It's them.

Who's gonna sign the death warrant?

- You can make the first one.

- [Amanda] Okay.

- I was actually shaking.

My heart is just like... (claps rapidly)

How do you feel?

- And it feels so great.

- It does feel great.

(all laugh)

- I think we need to channel this upset.

- [Claudia] There are Traitors in your midst.

- We all think everyone's Traitors, mate.

- [Ivan] It's war.

- 100%.
