Original subtitles

- [Claudia] Previously on The Traitors,

the players arrived here at this Scottish castle

to play the game of a lifetime

and to hopefully win up to £120,000.

But hidden amongst them are the traitors

whose job is to secretly murder the others

without getting caught.

And if they make it to the end,

they will take all the money.

After successfully avoiding four banishments.

- You're wrong, I'm a faithful.

- I'm a faithful.

- I'm a faithful.

- I'm faithful.

(dramatic music)

- [Claudia] And committing four murders.

- By the order of the traitors, you have been murdered.

- Murdered.

- Murdered.

- Murdered.

- Traitors Alyssa and Will

found themselves in the firing line.

- I can't get Alyssa out of my head.

- Me neither.

- Wilfred, you look very nervous tonight.

- [Claudia] And after the ultimate betrayal...

- We always keep saying, let's do something different.

So I'm gonna go for Alyssa.

- [Claudia] Fellow traitor Amanda sealed Alyssa's fate.

- I went for Alyssa.

- [Claudia] Resulting in the faithfuls,

finally banishing their first traitor.

- I am a traitor.

(dramatic music)

I'm so sorry.

- With their numbers depleted,

the traitors were given a chance to strengthen.

You could murder or you could seduce one of the faithful

and let them join you as a traitor.

- Alex.

(dramatic music)

Could you trust her?

- 100%.

- [Claudia] But the question is, will Alex join them?

(dramatic music)

(mysterious music)

* Let down your arms *

* Don't make a sound *

(Alex groans)

- Alex will play a very good traitor.

Because she wants to win the game.

* So come this way *

- We need somebody who, no one's looking at the moment,

somebody who's strong enough to do this role

and somebody that'll get involved and do it.

* Get out of my head *

- "We wish to recruit you as a traitor

because you are strong, assertive, and charismatic.

Join us."

* Save me from myself *

* I can't let it take control *

- Do I want to be a traitor?

I'd have to create this layer on top of me

that was happy to lie.

- I can't wait.

If she joins us, it's gonna be so good.

* Time fades away *

* The candlelight helps me escape *

* Reality *

- Traitors,

Alex...

Rejected - Oh no.

- [Claudia] Your offer of seduction.

- I've seen how heavy the crown of being a traitor weighs

on the heads of those sat around that table.

And after experiencing how intense it is

just to be a faithful,

I don't think I'll be able to do it.

And I may end up regretting this decision,

but I still feel like as a faithful

I could potentially stay all the way.

So for that reason,

I will politely decline the offer to become a traitor.

* Over *

- You will continue as twosome.

You will not murder tonight.

So everyone will be at the breakfast table,

which, quite frankly, could be awkward.

- I thought she would've been inquisitive,

she would've said yes.

- Goodnight.

- [Will & Amanda] Goodnight.

- We should have murdered.

We should have murdered.

- We should have.

- She could have been an extra strength.

She could have really got our fires lit again.

Three of us as a pack would've been good.

We are just gonna have to act stupid.

- Just act surprised.

- Yeah.

You know...

- A positive thing that no-one's dead.

Gutted.

- [Amanda] Gutted.

* Don't wanna fall down *

* Or walk on my own *

* Don't wanna fall down *

(pensive music)

- [Claudia] After the traitors failed to seduce

at last night's conclave, the faithfuls are unaware

that they will all be arriving for breakfast this morning.

- [Aaron] Ladies first.

- [Fay] Thank you.

Ooh, lovely.

- There we go. - Ooh, my God.

- [Aaron] There we go.

Oh, it's finally happened.

So happy.

- That's a good feeling that we've banished a traitor.

It really is.

I need to be more open-minded, that's what that tells me.

And, you know, everything that you see shiny isn't gold.

You know what I mean?

Maddy, I'm worried now

'cause I had Alyssa as 100% and I'm worried now.

And I want Maddy to be a faithful.

'Cause I...

It's just so hard.

(door knocking)

Oh my God, who's coming through the door?

Who's coming through?

(Fay gasps)

- [Theo] Morning!

- [Aaron] Here she is.

- Good to see you.

- [Aaron] That's a nice jumper.

- Thank you.

Getting Alyssa out last night has, like,

spurred us on to find another traitor.

But it's made me realize that the traitors

could be the people that I really adore.

Alyssa could have probably shot me in the face

and I still wouldn't have thought it was her.

(all cheering)

- [Aaron] Good morning!

(all cheering)

- Oh my God, I am thrilled.

Normally we get rid of a faithful the night before.

It feels like we're winning a little bit

and we've got a leg up

and we've got a bit of an advantage now.

- [Fay] Amanda, did you get the shield?

- [Aaron] Yeah, yeah, literally, that's what I was thinking.

- Guys, I can't lie to you.

(all cheering)

Last night we could have used the opportunity

to get the numbers down and we didn't.

We chose another way and that decision didn't work out.

I was gutted.

I've gotta go back into my little play role

that I'm a faithful.

- Do you know who I think is gonna get murdered?

I reckon it's the person

that instigated Alyssa the most yesterday.

Like, either Alex or Andrea or someone.

- I don't think it will be because

I don't think the traitors really care

about the other traitors when they're gone.

(suspenseful music)

(door knocking)

- [Fay] Who is it?

(all cheering)

- [Aaron] Yeah Will! Yeah Andrea! Let's go!

A bit of color.

- [Andrea] Morning all.

- The shield, I like that, it looks so cool.

Oh my God, the level of lying and pretending,

it's like a trifle, it's just layers on layers.

I've been through the worst now,

I've literally had my arse on the table.

This is a different level, man.

- So who are we expecting not to walk through the door?

- I have no idea.

I literally have no idea

because everybody I thought was a threat is in here now.

(dramatic music)

(all cheering)

- Look at you, suited and booted.

Suited to the nines.

(all cheering)

- Amos and Alex.

- [Aaron] There's only two chairs left.

- [Kieran] Amos and Alex.

- [Andrea] Amos can't go home already.

- No way.

No way.

- Of course, I know that everybody's gonna be there.

But then it was a bit of a scary moment.

This was going to be the moment

Alex revealed that we had tried to seduce her.

How would I react?

How would Wilf react?

People would be watching.

She would be watching.

- There's always the other possibility

that Amos and Alex both come

and they tried to go for Amanda

and Amanda had the shield.

- Oh my God, yeah.

(suspenseful music)

(door knocking)

(all cheering)

- Oh my God, oh my God, oh my God!

Guys!

Guys!

They tried killing Amanda.

They tried to kill Amanda.

- Or they recruited.

- [Hannah] Or they've recruited.

- [Andrea] Oh, yes!

- [Aaron] Yes!

- [Hannah] Everyone's back.

- [Andrea] Hi everybody, hi everybody, hi everybody.

- [Aaron] Come on!

- So obviously last night I knew that I got recruited

but I declined it.

I don't wanna tell everyone that

because I feel like people might not believe it.

They could think, "Is she lying?

And I don't believe her."

I dunno, it's very difficult.

- It does feel though...

Doesn't it feel like the faithfuls are getting stronger?

- [Aaron] Yeah.

- [Hannah] Because we got rid of one.

We've got rid of a traitor

and now we've not lost a faithful.

- We get a big victory.

- Yeah, 100%.

I really thought Alex was gonna come in

and tell everyone and she hasn't.

So I'm like, oh my God, what is going on?

(bouncy music)

- Good morning everyone.

- [Theo] Morning!

(all clapping)

- Isn't this a lovely surprise, everybody is at breakfast.

It's fantastic to see you all.

I will let you work out why.

- Oh, come on.

- Amanda of course, you got the shield.

Let's find out who's going to get it today.

The mission starts soon.

Please wear something you don't mind getting muddy

and fingers crossed you all like whiskey.

I'll see you soon.

Enjoy your breakfast. (all clapping)

Thank you.

- No idea, I'm very confused today.

I am.

I just have no idea today.

- [Rayan] If they've recruited, we need to know.

- I've gotta think very tactically

about how I play this

in the sense that I feel like

I definitely need to tell at least one person

to get another perspective.

I still don't know who the traitor is.

I was looking at everyone in breakfast

trying to suss it out like, who wanted me?

- So imagine you got recruited and you said no,

you'd say, "So they tried to recruit me."

But the thing is, no one's saying anything.

So they've either been recruited

or Amanda's been killed, well,

someone tried to kill Amanda and she got a shield.

We just need to get through this bombshell

and keep the heat away from me.

(mysterious music)

- Is it cold outside?

I'm gonna nip upstairs for my coat

'cause I'm not going out in that weather.

- [Aaron] You want it?

- Yeah.

- [Aaron] Hannah, what was that man?

(pensive music)

- I thought it was Will yesterday.

- [Amanda] Yeah.

- And I was wrong but I thought it was Will

because I'm still on day two mode,

which is like you're behaving kind of weird.

- Amos, you weren't wrong, 'cause we didn't find out.

And I hate that 'cause now I'm like, my theory,

I needed to know that answer.

Maddy Marple has come up with still the same theory.

So it's still Aaron, Will, of course, and Meryl.

And I need to just find out one of them

before I move on to my next case.

- I'm thinking opposite ends of the spectrum now,

I'm thinking Alyssa, maybe Andrea is one.

'Cause she's got nothing to lose on the outside world.

- That's true.

So it's her argument against her.

- Yeah.

- You know, the argument that she was like,

"You gotta be young."

She was saying, "You gotta be young to be a traitor."

- I think it possibly could be.

- I do work in a care home, but my main passion is acting.

I played Rita in Eastenders, the homeless woman.

And also I played someone without a womb in Casualty.

And I feel like it means that I can spot

if someone's putting on a performance.

- [Amos] What were you thinking?

- No, I was just saying then, obviously,

I don't want this to upset you,

'cause you're close to Andrea,

but what about if it is Andrea?

- My view of Andrea is I love her.

- [Amanda] Yeah.

- You can speculate on who you want,

but my red lines are that I just won't put Andrea down.

I just won't do it.

(pensive music)

- Who are you...?

- Guess.

- Maddy.

- [Amanda] I am looking like that as well now.

And I love her to death

but it's the innocent, intelligent thing again.

- Yes, yes.

- [Amanda] Do you know what I mean?

- I know.

And also I came down to breakfast today.

She just seems different, I don't know why.

- With Maddy, obviously I know she's a faithful.

I don't investigate too much,

but I'll throw a little theory out now and again.

As long as I keep doing that,

it just keeps the limelight off me.

- Today I'm doing two things.

I'm trying to just put the words

right in my mouth to defend myself.

'Cause I know my name's gonna come up again tonight.

- Mate, the worst thing that people can do

is throw it on you at the table.

I'm not gonna go for you at the moment

'cause I don't have enough to go on.

That's not right.

But I know that people will.

- People still don't have much to go on.

Are they gonna try to go for someone

who was slightly similar in personality to Alyssa,

who was shy?

Someone like me.

That's a very real concern.

If I don't wanna be voted off,

I'm gonna have to start being more vocal.

- [Amos] Hey.

(tense music)

- Okay, so last night I received a letter from the traitors

asking to recruit me and I declined it.

'Cause I genuinely believe that the faithfuls can win.

I was scared to announce it in breakfast.

So what I thought is the best thing to do

is talk to people I believe that I can fully trust,

which includes yourself.

- Okay.

- I need your opinion.

'Cause I trust, I think you have a good brain.

- I'm super proud of you.

- [Alex] Thank you.

- Generally so proud.

I generally... I can't... I'm so proud of you.

- I always think two good brains are better than one.

And I feel like me and Amos are on the same wavelength.

I could be completely wrong

but I really do feel like I can trust him.

What would you do?

It's hard isn't it?

But then if I get a shield today in the missions...

- I think keep it to yourself.

I think watch who targets you.

- Yeah.

- I honestly believe her.

Like, I know it's a weird thing to say

because I could look an absolute idiot.

She could be, like, triple bluffing me.

But there was something about, like, the way she said it

that made me think you're a genuine human being

and I don't think you're gonna be making that up.

(suspenseful music)

- [Claudia] Suspicions may be dividing the group

but the players must come together for yet another mission

and the chance to win money

for that overall prize pot.

- We'll be there in a minute.

- I look so unfit.

- [Maddy] Oh, my knees.

- Alright, I love this mission.

This mission is all about teamwork.

Scotland is famous for many things:

extraordinary scenery, beautiful castles, haggis,

and of course whiskey.

And in fact in the Scottish highlands

there are distilleries dotted everywhere.

There's one just on the top of that hill.

(dramatic music)

I need you to get that barrel to the distillery for me.

- [Will] We can do that guys.

- There are obstacles on the way.

You must go down to the river, cross it,

make your way up through Finders Forest,

then climb the grueling barrel hill

before finally arriving at the old distillery.

Also there will be other barrels you might want to pick up.

There are 15 barrels along the course

worth £10,000 in total

that you could add to your prize pot today.

There are also five armory barrels.

What you gotta think really is, what's more important,

your money or your life?

(dramatic music)

You have 90 minutes

and only the barrels that cross the finishing line count.

So players, good luck.

Let's get rolling, off you go.

(all cheering)

- Keep rollin', rollin', rollin'.

- [Claudia] Your time starts... now!

- Let it go!

- [Kieran] Let's go!

- I love the missions.

It's really nice to give my brain a break from pretending.

- [Rayan] Yeah, look around for any other barrels.

- I've been recruited and I said no.

So I think I'm definitely on their hit list.

Hopefully I can win another shield.

The shield changes everything 'cause then if I win a shield,

I may not have to say anything to anyone.

(exciting music)

- [Aaron] There's another barrel down there.

- [Fay] Where?

- [Alex] So we have a rope, so I can lean into here...

- [Will] That's not that, but that's...

- [Alex] I know.

- [Will] So this is where we're going across.

- Yeah.

- That's one way of crossing.

- Everyone else had to go through a river

apart from me and Andrea.

'Cause the river was literally like neck height for me,

so it was too high.

(exciting music)

- Okay, okay I've done it!

- [Aaron] That's it guys, well done!

- [Rayan] It's a good day to be tall.

- Listen to me, right?

Someone has to be on this side

'cause the current's gonna push it, right?

You let go and it's gone.

So you make sure you're on the left side the whole time.

- Seeing that river, I was like Lord have mercy on my soul.

- [Aaron] Oh my god.

- [Will] Be careful Amos, hold the rope if you need to mate.

- [Aaron] Just careful.

- The current hitting my legs, I was like Bambi.

It was like sweeping me away.

- [Kieran] Nice slow pacing.

- Woo!

(Theo laughing)

Kieran in front of me was pretty much having to swim.

I was like, "What you doing mate?"

(Theo laughing)

Oh my God.

- I'm not joking you.

I literally had half the river in both of my shoes.

- [Kieran] That's it, yes!

- [Aaron] Don't let go. Don't let go. Don't let go.

There is one hour left, bring those barrels to me.

(exciting music)

- Go on, Andrea, come on!

- [Meryl] Guys, stop!

There's a barrel up there!

Alex, there's a barrel up there!

- This is a massive barrel!

- [Andrea] Push, push.

- [Meryl] I found another barrel!

- Armory.

- Push, push.

- [Meryl] There's one!

- [Andrea] Where?

Oh, a little one.

- [Alex] Guys, there's another one!

- [Will] There's a huge barrel!

- [Alex] Oh my God!

Ah!

- [Theo] We're not gonna be able to do all these barrels.

- [Hannah] We're not.

Oh shit, they're well big.

- Yeah, we're gonna have to start to think logical.

- [Hannah] Look at the size of that barrel.

- We found a 2,500 barrel and it was...

I can't even describe the size of it.

It's either lose the armory or lose the money.

It's a massive amount of money.

My fight game is on.

- [Rayan] Strategically, take the big one.

- [Hannah] Scrap the armory.

- [Aaron] Scrap the armory, let's go for the big one.

- Oh, it smells of poo.

That's actually poo.

- [Fay] Drop!

- [Alex] Just dump it. Nice.

- So we pushed this barrel over this thing

and there was, like, sludgy mud

and I was like, "What is that smell?"

- [Amanda] It's pig shit.

- [Maddy] Is it pig shit?

- I think so.

- Oh no!

Amanda is like, "That's pig's poo."

And because she's from Wales,

I genuinely believe that she knows

the difference between the different smells.

- Hold the side. Hold the side. It helps.

- You okay, Andrea?

- Yeah.

- [Alex] You want a break? Just take a break.

- No, I'll just roll it up to the corner.

We are actually, I think, a great team

and it's lovely to do teamwork.

Particularly for me.

I mean, I live alone and coming back's like being at school

and you're sort of,

in your favorite teams with your friends.

My partner died.

We spent 26 years together.

She was a wonderful woman.

I came out of that saying, "Yeah, I'm a fighter."

One of the revelations for me being here

is to say I really love these people.

It's lovely to be able to feel that at my age.

- Andrea was absolutely superb.

She's such an ambassador for people her age.

- [Meryl] What about using that?

- Wheelbarrow!

(exciting music)

- [Meryl] Right, let's go.

Amanda, let me help.

- Oh shit.

(dramatic music)

- So there was hay, bales of hay.

So not just little lumps of straw.

- You only have 30 minutes.

30 minutes to make it to this beautiful distillery.

- Come on!

- [Fay] Come on Maddy, keep going.

- We had to roll barrels up a hill.

- Ah!

One of the hardest things I've done.

It was so difficult.

- We're almost at the top of the hill guys.

Come on!

- It's longer than you realize.

It's harder than you realize.

These barrels are heavy to push.

You know, your back is aching.

A good athlete would've struggled with it.

It was really, really tough going.

- Let's go.

- I thought I'd reached my limit.

Suffering and wheezing and puffing

and wanted to throw up.

- I'm just not enjoying this.

- [Meryl] Shit, look.

(dramatic music)

- That's massive.

- [Meryl] Guys, it's a 4,000 one!

- What?! I'm not getting that one.

- I need a break, I need a break.

When the bigger one came up I was like, "Oh my God."

Like that's...

It was massive.

- I'm not being funny, I'd leave the armory and take that.

- I really couldn't give a shit about armories.

- No, because not everybody's getting one.

So I'd leave the armory and go for the 4,000.

That's what I would do.

- Yep.

- [Fay] Yeah. - With you on that.

- I'm on, like, high alert to identify who the traitors are.

What I really need to look out for is

who is potentially gonna try to inhibit the group

from winning a shield.

Because they know if I have a shield, I'm safe again.

- That's six and a half grand just for two barrels.

- [Alex] Armory is more important than 750, guys.

- Don't even care about the armory.

- You sure?

- I don't know.

- But I'd rather have a faithful stay in

rather than us earn more money

and then a traitor just takes it all, you know.

But it's a group decision.

- I don't care.

- All right, okay, let's take the money then.

(dramatic music)

- [Claudia] The hardest bit is the end.

It's incredibly steep.

They'll be exhausted, they'll be wet.

They will be spent.

But I'll be here doing star jumps.

- [Fay] Yep. Your side. Your side.

Three pushes on yours and three on mine.

- That hill was awful.

- Up and up and up and up and up.

It is totally and utterly exhausting.

- [Theo] Keep pushing.

- It was very, very challenging.

Sort of SAS commander challenging.

- This is the last push guys.

We're running out of time.

Dig deep!

(dramatic music)

- Yeah, I can see the finish!

I can see the finish!

Come on!

- [Will] Push it guys!

- [Aaron] Come on!

- Once everyone started seeing the finish line,

everyone just got this massive bit of collective energy

that helped us push.

And we pushed faster than we've ever pushed

because we wanted to get to the finish line.

- Guys, let's go! Not long left!

- Everybody worked, everybody put 100% in.

It was just brilliant.

- [Alex] So close.

- [Rayan] I can see the finish.

- [Alex] We're so close.

(exciting music)

- [Claudia] Darling, well done.

- Thank you.

Me and my wheelbarrow cross the line first.

Woo!

- [Claudia] You need to get them over the line.

Over the line.

Let's go, let's go, let's go.

You did it.

You absolutely did it.

Well done.

- That was amazing, weren't it?

- Well done mate.

- We smashed that.

- Yeah, where are all these endorphins

everyone keeps banging on about?

- The best bit was the finish line.

- [Andrea] Just so tired.

- [Alex] Honestly you were amazing.

- It was a lot for me.

But nobody wants to give up.

And we did it.

- Okay everybody do you wanna gather in?

I have good news for you.

Come on, listen.

Huge congratulations to you all.

I cannot even imagine how hard that was.

You have now added

to this extraordinary prize fund, £8,400.

(all cheering)

You also got three armory barrels over the line,

which means three of you will get a pass to the armory

and one of you will win a shield.

I am going to give you only two minutes

to decide who gets those passes.

Off you go.

- I vote Andrea.

- Andrea, deffo.

- Meryl must have one.

Meryl, Meryl, Meryl.

- Fay?

- And then Fay, I'd say Fay.

- [Will] Meryl, Fay, Andrea, is everyone happy with that?

- [Hannah] Yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah.

- [Will] Do you disagree?

- [Andrea] Thanks everybody.

- [Amanda] I think Theo, I know...

- [Will] I think Theo deserves one as well.

- [Amanda] Yeah, I do think Theo deserves one.

- [Meryl] Yeah, Theo, you have mine.

- [Amanda] Meryl, you were brilliant.

- Andrea, Fay, Theo?

Everyone happy?

- [Will] Yeah, I'm happy with that.

- [Meryl] Yeah. - Anyone disagree?

- I'm happy with that. - We've got it.

- [Claudia] Guys, you've made your decision.

- Thanks so much.

- Please, can somebody clarify for me,

who has the armory passes?

- Andrea, Fay and Theo.

- The three people that got the armory passes,

I don't think they're on our radar at the moment.

There's other people that I'd like to pick off first.

So for now, that doesn't affect my plans.

- So go back to the castle.

Put your feet up, have a cup of tea, eat 19 biscuits

and I will see you at the round table.

Well done.

- [Hannah] We're not walking back to the castle, are we?

- [Kieran] We gotta walk home?

- [Aaron] I'll be honest, I wanna get in that river.

(exciting music)

- That was one of the best things in the world.

I really enjoyed it but it made me think one thing.

I reckon the challenges are gonna get more physical

and they're gonna have to think about

who they're murdering now.

- I know.

I hope they don't murder me. - That's true though, innit?

- I'm so happy that you guys got the armory.

I think you also deserve the protection as well.

Like generally.

- And what are your thoughts, guys, on tonight?

Has anyone got any ideas?

- Oh, I can't.

My brain is fried, Meryl love.

Absolutely fried. - Okay.

- Fay started pointing her finger at me,

the moment I started pointing a finger at Alyssa.

- I noticed that yesterday, yeah.

- And it's making me think,

were you covering for Alyssa?

- I just feel like I can trust Fay.

- Yeah and that's what everyone told me.

- But I feel like I can trust most people

at the round table now.

- Yeah, that's why I'm so confused.

I came into breakfast so confused.

- For everybody to return this morning, something happened.

- Yeah. Something's happened and we don't know.

- Something happened.

(dramatic music)

- Ready?

There's a goldfish in this one.

(bird cawing)

Thank you.

(Will laughing)

- [Will] That was funny.

- Wit-woo.

- [Will] I need to go near the fire.

- I need to take my socks off.

- Shall I bring the biscuits over?

- Yeah!

I prefer the ginger ones, you know?

To chocolate.

Here let me move this.

(mysterious music)

- [Claudia] With Andrea, Theo and Fay

voted for by the players to get an armory pass,

Andrea is the first to find out

if she will win the one shield

to protect her from murder tonight.

- Oh my God.

Oh, it's very small.

I think we probably all felt that

even if you didn't get the shield

that you were possibly safer

because why choose one of the three

when you don't know who's got the shield?

(dramatic music)

Okay.

(dramatic music)

(Fay gasps)

Yes!

Yes!

Yes, yes, yes!

The middle one, there it was.

Yeah.

It had the shield in it and I was very, very pleased.

Very pleased.

- Oh please, Lord Jesus.

I need a good night's sleep.

I'm over it. I'm over it.

I'm over it.

I'm over it.

- [Amos] How are you feeling?

- [Alex] Can't what?

- You can't let it go a day, you've gotta do it today.

(tense music)

- We made a good decision last night.

- We did.

- I don't wanna follow it up with a shit one

because they're obviously,

they've either recruited someone

or they went to kill you.

I'm not going in there with a vote tonight,

because I haven't got anything on anyone.

Just what people have said.

So I'm gonna go in there and let people,

if you wanna call out someone

because you think it might be them,

I'm gonna listen to everyone enough

to make a decision in there,

because I haven't got anything at the moment.

All eyes, fingers crossed.

I just, I don't even wanna get ahead of myself.

I just hope they're off me for a little bit.

I haven't planted any seeds today or anything.

I've just gotta go with most of the people

just to keep myself safe.

- I'm not gonna lie, Rayan, like,

you are, like, the most suspicious one for me

at the moment.

Just 'cause of how, like, you've taken the advice,

not advice, but, like, criticism last night

and you just didn't really, like, defend yourself.

You just sat there.

- I try to defend myself.

But first of all,

every time I try to defend myself in there,

everyone starts talking over me.

- At the end of the day, mate, you know yourself

if you're a faithful or if you're a traitor.

- That's why it's so annoying

because that feels so unfair.

Because I'm in there, I'm finding traitors,

and people just think,

"Oh well, maybe you're a bit different,

you've got to be a traitor."

No! That's what I don't get. - Chill for a minute.

- And I don't wanna be throwing somebody under the bus

if I'm not certain it's them.

- [Amanda] No, no. Exactly, no I understand that.

- Because essentially people are telling me

at the round table,

"Oh, you've gotta come up with another name

to save yourself."

But I don't wanna be throwing someone else under the bus

'cause I also don't wanna get it wrong.

Because I don't wanna be getting a faithful out.

- Have you got any suspicions of anyone?

- I'm a trainee lawyer, you know,

it also is hard sometimes

and sometimes that confidence is a lot of just

fake it til you make it.

I really struggled with confidence

when I was younger in school.

You know, it's this feeling of

being powerless and everything, yeah,

that reminds me of a younger Rayan.

- Amanda, I genuinely believe that you cannot get voted out.

So they will come to you at some point.

They will. - Yeah.

So, you never know.

It could have been last night.

- [Amanda] It could have been last night.

- [Will] When you had a shield.

- [Amanda] Yeah.

- Fay, same with you.

So I was saying about Amanda, right?

- [Fay] Yeah.

- Genuinely believe you and Amanda

will never, ever get banished.

That's why I think the traitors

will go for you at some point.

So they could have gone for Amanda last night.

- Mm. I don't think that.

Personally, if the traitors wanted to get me,

they could have murdered me a long time ago.

I don't think they want to murder me cause they...

- [Will] So what do you think then?

- Because they like me.

I'm not being rude, that's what you've gotta think.

- [Amanda] Yeah. Yeah.

- The reason I'm alive is because they like me.

- Yeah but then the theory...

- Or you're a traitor.

- Or I'm a traitor, but I'm not a traitor.

I'm 100%, darling.

And I can tell you that.

I can look you in the eye without looking away

and say I am 100%.

I would not...

Do you know what, Rayan?

I would not come into this place and be a traitor.

And I'd love to say you were, darling,

but you're not giving me the reasons why you are.

- Because I don't understand the point

that's made against me, like,

if you wanna tell me, like, tell me and I'll explain.

- But I told you- - I try defending myself

but clearly if it's not working...

- But it's not just me, it's other people.

Aaron asked you...

- And I've just addressed the reason, I've just explained.

Like, at the end of the day,

yeah, maybe I struggle to defend myself

but I'm so frustrated in there,

'cause at the end of the day,

if people are gonna put my name down,

I'm gonna stand up there and be like,

"Once again you've lost, - Think about it.

- you're going back to your old ways.

You're going back to the mistakes you made with everyone."

And I do not want us to go back to that.

- And you're probably right.

- I equally want the faithfuls to win.

- Good! - That's what's annoying me.

- That's what I want.

I want that fight.

- But I will give you that,

because that feels unfair to me,

because I've been sitting there taking it.

I just know my name's gonna be on a lot of slates tonight.

You can tell when the walls are closing in on you

in this castle.

You can tell because people just get a bit more distant,

people are a bit more awkward around you.

It's just shit.

(hypnotic music)

* Way under blue *

* Where I knew *

* Drowning in you *

* In you *

- [Claudia] After a day of theorizing and strategizing,

the players are feeling the heat.

But will they manage to get another traitor

banished from the round table tonight?

Or will it be yet another faithful?

- We found Alyssa last night.

We do need to keep up the momentum

but the problem is the finger's gonna be pointed

a lot at different people.

If we could get another one tonight

then I think it's game on.

(suspenseful music)

- I am physically shaking at the prospect of this.

If I come into the room

and say the traitors tried to recruit me last night,

people might second guess it.

But I also wanna be trusted, this is great ammo for me.

- I think Alex is gonna drop the bombshell

that she got an invite,

'cause she hasn't mentioned it today.

So I think she'll mention it at the round table

so she feels safe from murder.

I need to go in there with just an empty mind

and just go with the majority and play the faithful game.

- Welcome back to the round table and what a team you are.

Congratulations you made £8,400 today.

So your prize fund currently stands at £65,100.

Last night you caught a traitor.

So the question is: are you on a roll?

Can you do it again?

The floor is yours.

- Before anyone speaks, we all know that there are

at least two traitors around this table

and I think now more than ever

it is so hard to pinpoint.

But I have some information

that I think will provide a bit more evidence.

I was gonna say it this morning, however,

a part of me hoped that I might get a shield today

and I didn't.

So I wanted to announce it in front of everyone

so we could all see each other,

see everyone's reactions and discuss it.

Last night I received a letter

asking if I wanted to be a traitor.

(dramatic music)

I am just taking everyone's reactions right now

'cause it's very interesting.

I politely declined because

after everything I've been through

and looking at you all in the eyes

and telling you I am a faithful,

I could not come into breakfast today and be a traitor.

- I also wanna add that she did mention it to me

at the start of the day, but I kept it to myself.

- I needed some advice.

It was playing on my mind all night.

- Just in case you were like, "Why isn't Amos shocked?"

- I think it's a bloody cheek, I do.

Sorry, whoever you are, I've gotta say it.

I think it's a bloody cheek to ask you,

everything you've been through.

- Obviously I'm thinking, "Well, who's recruiting me?"

I'll tell you what was on the letter.

It said, "We would like to recruit you

because you are strong, charismatic and assertive."

And I'm thinking, "Who would say that about me?"

And I don't know.

(dramatic music)

- I'd like to say

I've actually described you as assertive

and strong woman, because I believe you are.

I don't believe you're a traitor, but I believe you are.

You have characteristics that I can understand

that they might offer you and look at that.

So I'm not sure that that's the guide,

because I actually, I think you are that.

- It must be so difficult for you to sit there

and say what you've said and put your head on the line.

- Let's just say it confirms that she's a faithful, right?

- [Amanda] Absolutely, yeah.

(dramatic music)

- I think everyone in here

has been challenged at one point or another.

There are some people, one person,

I love this person to the bottom of my heart,

who has never been challenged.

And that's Andrea.

(dramatic music)

The reason why I'm saying this

is that I think so much of you,

so when I hear you say stuff like,

"I think my age is a barrier",

I just don't see-

There's a disconnect there

because I've seen you run up a hill

and tell me you're okay.

- Okay.

I actually, you know, I'm giving my best.

I do absolutely what I can.

It's, excuse me, it's limit for me.

I'm absolutely doing what I can.

I wouldn't be, I couldn't be a traitor, I just couldn't.

I'm sorry everybody, I just couldn't.

And I thought I could and I would've been wrong.

I can tell you absolutely, I am a faithful.

That's all I can say and I'm so happy to be one.

So I think for me it's easy.

I have no problems with that.

I'm really easy about that.

You can judge whatever you like.

I'm trying my best.

That's all I can do.

(dramatic music)

- I'm not accusing anyone but I've heard names thrown around

and I don't know why no one's bringing it up yet.

Maddy and Rayan,

you two have both been suggested as traitors.

It's not because I'm accusing you,

I'm just curious to hear your side.

- I'm 100% a faithful, guys.

Like, I'm 100% a faithful.

- I feel that I've been a bit blindsided.

I just don't know.

I just feel that I've been blindsided.

And Maddy, I love you to bits.

I love everything about you.

But today you've avoided me.

(dramatic music)

And that's the first time since I've been in there

and I've noticed it.

- I haven't avoided you, Fay.

- But I'm just saying, that's how it seemed to me.

- That would be a wasted vote though,

'cause I'm 100% a faithful.

- I'm just saying, I'm putting it there,

because I've gotta put it somewhere.

- I've been wanting to say this all day today

'cause I know people have been saying my name.

I wanted to talk about it 'cause, like,

today I felt powerless.

I felt shit because all the people have said,

"Yeah you're not getting involved

in looking for the traitors."

And honestly I think that's not fair to say.

I've tried so hard.

Alyssa, somebody had been pointing out for the past few days

and I told so many people around this table

and I've tried to make cases

when everyone was voting for Ivan,

I wasn't voting for Ivan.

When everyone's voting for Imran, I wasn't voting for Imran.

I've tried to explain things,

and yeah sometimes I'm undecided,

'cause I don't want to throw somebody's name under the bus.

But at the end of the day, I'm team faithful.

And you know, I talked about it to Fay,

but I thought about you and I know it's not you.

- I know. - And at the end of the day,

I'm not gonna put a name down of another faithful

just to defend myself.

Like, I'm just, like, begging you

'cause I don't wanna stand there

and tell you, "I'm a faithful"

because we all lose at that point.

- Yeah, yep.

- I lose because I'm gone

and I lose, like, the opportunity.

- If it helps I think you're a faithful.

- A wasted vote.

- At the same time

we all lose because I'm team faithful

and I just want, like,

I want to get, like, there with the faithfuls at the end.

I want to find more traitors.

I was so happy we found Alyssa last night

and I want to find more of them.

- [Fay] Good.

- And, like, that's all I can say to defend myself.

- Until you have the finger pointed at you

and you actually argue your case,

and I'm not gonna lie to you,

this is why I did it to you earlier,

'cause I wanted to give you the chance

to almost fight your case.

And I genuinely do believe you're a faithful now.

- And I think... - [Fay] I do.

- You can't figure out-

- I do. - Who the traitors are

but you can figure out who you think the faithful are.

And until you have the finger pointed directly at you

and you're almost at breaking point,

you're either gonna completely break and break down.

Or the other option is what Alyssa did

and she just kind of crumbled

and didn't really say anything.

- I thought it was you.

You know, the only thing we all know

is that there are traitors sitting at this table.

- It's not me.

- Amanda, can I ask you something?

Just 'cause I rightfully think that

you are quite a good judge of character.

Let's play devil's advocate.

If you were gonna pick someone that wasn't Rayan,

who would it be?

- Oh my God.

- [Amos] 'Cause I think everyone's got tunnel vision.

And I think... - Yeah.

- Let's see what else we can throw out.

- I dunno.

Meryl, I've gotta say I don't know.

I've got you.

Nobody's looked at you.

- Maddy.

- Yeah, Maddy has.

And you're not quite my 100%.

Andrea's not quite my 100%.

And Rayan, so...

- Why Meryl?

- The reason for Meryl is,

so it's not like one slip up

where you're like, hmm.

You've done it quite a lot of times.

- She talks at a million miles an hour.

She messes things up all the time.

- Can I also say something, right?

I can, like, assure everyone that I am 100% a faithful.

And until I stand up on that board, we'll see.

And I literally have nothing to hide.

When you stand up there and you see...

- It's not personal, Meryl.

- [Meryl] No I know

it's not personal. - I love you

as a person.

- Wait, I'm finishing, Maddy.

Imagine someone saying every single day,

"Oh my gosh, you said this.

Oh my gosh, she said this. Oh my gosh."

I am a faithful

and I have been a faithful from the very start

and I didn't think I had to start proving myself.

- I haven't said it every single day.

- Okay, that's fine.

- [Maddy] It's only because Amanda said...

- Well do you know what? - That you would be her option

- Half of me feels like I should go and stand up

so you can just see it and then go.

Like, genuinely, 'cause it's exhausting.

And I'm not crying because I'm not crying.

No, it's exhausting to have someone...

And now I actually know how you feel.

- [Fay] Meryl, don't, it's a game.

- It's exhausting.

- I'm not...

Do you know how stressful I am right now

because if you do get murdered, right,

people are either gonna come after me

or they're gonna come after Will.

- And I hope so. - Can I just

share that experience, right? - I hope so.

Because I've got this feeling. - Do you know how

grinding it is every single day

four or five days, right?

You're just going in and in

and the first day it upset me,

the next two days, to be fair,

I just started laughing it off.

- [Maddy] But I love you

all as people. - But today and yesterday...

Yeah but it's not

like that anymore. - It's not a personal attack.

- Yeah but it is genuinely grinding

and I almost don't want to talk to you anymore

because every time I do, right,

I just think you go in all the time.

- It's getting quite emotional and personal.

- It's true though, it's so annoying.

(dramatic music)

- The talk is over.

It's time to vote.

Please could everyone write a name on their slate?

Thank you.

(dramatic music)

Has everyone locked in their answers?

Thank you.

Alex, who do you believe is a traitor and why?

- I'm looking at everyone,

I'm hearing everyone's stories,

I'm seeing everyone's emotion

and I just don't know.

And as soon as I put this name down,

I second guessed myself and I think I'm wrong.

But Aaron, I'm really sorry, I just put you.

- [Claudia] Thank you.

- [Alex] Had to put somebody.

- Aaron, who do you believe is a traitor and why?

- I put Maddy down just 'cause I feel like

whether it be her or not,

she's not really contributing much at the moment anyway,

so she might as well just be a traitor.

- Amanda?

- Rayan, I'm so sorry, I put you.

I've seen all your emotions

but I don't know who it is, Rayan.

And I'm sorry.

- So, so far we have a vote for Rayan,

one for Maddy and one for Aaron.

- Meryl, who do you believe is a traitor and why?

- Rayan, it's the same, I've wrote your name.

- Thank you.

Will, who do you believe is a traitor and why?

- So I put Maddy.

Yeah, she's probably gonna add this to her theory

but the reason being is

I genuinely don't think it's Rayan

and I couldn't vote for someone

being in that position yesterday

who I just didn't feel comfortable,

I genuinely think he's faithful so,

that's why I put your name.

- Hannah?

- Rayan, I've put your name down.

I'm really sorry.

It's not that I don't believe you,

I just believe you the least right now.

- Thank you.

Rayan, who do you believe is a traitor and why?

- Aaron.

I don't really have much to go on but I trust Maddy

and I just, yeah...

I'm sorry, I don't really have much more to add.

- Fay, who have you voted for and why?

- I've gone for you, sorry Maddy.

Everything that I said earlier

and you've always said to me,

"I know that you're a faithful"

and I'm thinking, "Wow, for someone to tell me that,

how would they know that?"

- So a vote check.

It's three for Maddy, three for Rayan and two for Aaron.

Kieran, who do you believe is a traitor and why?

- I've gone Rayan,

he's the person that I'm not that sure of.

- Theo, who have you voted for and why?

- I voted for Rayan.

I'm sorry.

Same theory, just you're not my 100%.

I feel like we've not had that connection

to build the trust or the bond.

- Maddy?

- I actually went for Meryl 'cause, yeah,

I just thought I'd go for a different direction

to what I've been going for before and yeah...

- Thank you.

Amos, who do you believe is a traitor and why?

- I went for Rayan and I really generally do like you.

It's just I had to vote for someone

and you weren't my 100%.

- And finally, Andrea.

- Rayan, I also voted for you.

- Thank you.

Rayan, you have received the most amount of votes.

Please come up and join me.

(tense music)

Rayan, you can now reveal

if you are a faithful or a traitor.

- Thank you for this adventure.

I've met some really nice people.

Fought through fears and I've, like, challenged myself

and I've done so much.

It has been a really good time here

and I'm grateful for that

even if it's cut short today.

But...

I am a faithful.

(dramatic music)

Good night.

- Okay, so you have banished another faithful.

The traitors remain in your midst.

They will strike again tonight when they murder a faithful.

I will see most of you at breakfast.

Goodnight.

- [Fay] It's horrible.

- [Maddy] No, but I'd rather them kill me

in the night tonight

because I just don't wanna play anymore.

- I just don't know anymore.

I just, I thought...

- [Meryl] I thought it was Rayan.

- I just don't want it to be anyone now.

I really don't want it to be anyone.

I mean, I didn't want it to be anyone

at the start. - No, I get that.

No, and I know...

- It's getting harder the closer we're getting.

We're all losing our minds a little bit.

As the game has progressed

and we've got progressively closer and we've all gelled,

it's made the game that much harder.

I wrote down Aaron's name and immediately I said,

"I don't even think it's you

but I have to put someone's name down."

- I'm really worried that I triggered that.

The way I talked to Andrea, was that horrible?

- [Aaron] No, no, honestly.

- 'Cause I don't wanna...

- None of us was gonna do that.

None of us were gonna do that.

- Honestly, and it's good that you did

because it's good to have put her in the situation

because, like, she was never gonna get that anyway.

And I think she was never gonna be in a position

where she was gonna be able to defend herself.

You can look at it two ways.

You're either gonna do that

or someone else was gonna turn around and accuse her

and that would've been harder.

So at least, it's easier to defend yourself

when someone's doing that to you

than 10 people pointing the finger at you

and then having to fight for your life.

- I think the round tables are the hardest part of this.

So yeah, I found that difficult

because if she isn't a traitor and she gets voted out,

I will genuinely not forgive myself.

- I was really, really hoping that

Rayan was the traitor because now

I don't know what

I'm going to do. - He changed-

He convinced me today 'cause I said yesterday.

- [Alex] He convinced me today.

- Yeah, he convinced me today.

He did.

- I wasn't convinced it was him

when everyone was talking about him.

I was like, I'm not sure.

- I looked in his eyes today

and he said, "Fay, I'm not."

He said, "You'd be making the biggest mistake."

And I thought, wow.

- I do wanna apologize, Maddy.

'Cause I think I do take it really, really personally.

And my problem is because I genuinely am 100% a faithful,

I just take it as like a stab in the heart.

Because I don't know what else to do.

- I just wanted to try

a different avenue. - [Meryl] Yeah, of course.

- Just because of how passionate you were about that.

- But I was like, "I don't know what to do",

because I feel like I'm going insane in a sense

because I'm like, I don't know what else to prove.

I think at the start like it was easier

because it was 22 people

and then you kind of had, like,

where you weren't really close with a couple of people,

it was easier.

Whereas now it's quite intimidating in the sense that,

like, one or two votes can get someone out

and that's quite scary.

(pendulum clicking)

- That was a really weird round table.

It's probably the weirdest round table so far.

A lot of people were emotional.

- [Andrea] Yeah.

- Just didn't feel very comfortable really.

- It's not comfortable.

It gets worse and worse.

(dramatic music)

(pendulum clicking)

(bell chiming)

- [Aaron] Okay, I'll see you later.

- I'll see you later.

- [Aaron] See you tomorrow.

- Yeah, I hope so.

- [Aaron] We will.

- Who knows?

- I am just a bit nervous about tonight.

I just think, like, the smaller this circle gets,

the higher chance you've got of getting murdered.

(bell chiming)

- On that note, night night.

Night night, see you soon.

I'm not too sure how long I may have left

so it's day by day.

(mysterious music)

* Oh, I feel you close *

- I could up for a murder tonight.

Which is hard.

But I'm hoping the shield might potentially protect me

from these little traitors.

They just seem to always get away with it.

(bell chiming)

- [Claudia] After an emotional round table,

the faithfuls head off to bed

while the traitors must decide

whether to risk a second recruitment

or play safe with murder.

(dramatic music)

(Will sighs)

- It ain't half getting hard, isn't it?

- It is getting really tough. - It's getting difficult.

Really difficult.

The longer we're in here,

the more bonds I'm creating with everyone.

- Yeah.

- And just seeing them just shouting at each other.

- Crumble. Crumbling.

In front of us.

- And we are responsible.

But it is a game.

They need to understand that.

The better for us. - It's a mastermind game.

It's, can they figure us out?

That's all it's about.

And they can't figure us out at the moment

'cause we're playing the game too good.

- [Will] Yeah. - It's not personal.

We need to play smart now.

- [Will] Yeah.

- What we need to do

to stay in til the end with a faithful

is we need to get those faithfuls

to start disliking each other.

- [Will] Yeah.

(dramatic music)

- So do we take another faithful out

and get our numbers down?

- Or do we seduce someone?

What should we do?

- I don't think at this moment in time

anyone would join us to be a traitor.

- No.

- The emotions are far too high.

- [Will] At the moment they are.

- With everybody at the moment.

- So I think murdering is the way to go.

- I think so, yeah.

Yeah, we stick with,

I think we're in control of the plan at the moment.

And it's working for now.

(tense music)

- So for me, murdering Alex

would just make them think,

"We knew they were gonna do that."

It's like, you declined it.

You tried to make a big show of it.

Now we're here to show we'll follow through

with what we want to do.

- Yeah.

- We'll kill you if we want to.

- Yeah.

(dramatic music)

Who's her ally?

- [Both] Amos.

- Yeah, which is really strange

because it's been a day

and she's created this really quick bond with Amos.

(dramatic music)

Amos is strong, he is a leader.

He can suss us out.

He's gonna be the one to

suss us out. - Oh, he will.

- [Will] Later on. - Yeah.

- They are, like, the leaders of the faithfuls at the moment

but without them actively own owning up to it.

- We've got to break it up. - [Will] It's like

what we did with everyone. - Yeah, yeah.

- We broke Theo and Claire's relationship up,

we broke John and everyone else's relationship up

and that's something that's been working for us.

- Yeah. - So together they're just as

strong as us. - They can't be.

One of them has go to go.

Yeah they have.

So, Alex or Amos.

(dramatic music)

- [Claudia] Next time on The Traitors.

- W-T-F.

- You trust somebody and then they just go, boom.
