17 pieces left. And the most important thing right now, just like in all games-

-is to have a plan on how to win.

If you ask me, it looks like most people are running around like headless chickens.

You can now remove your blindfolds.

In the first episode, I chose Matilda-

-Alexander and Ahmed as my Traitors.

- You're my third Traitor. - Really?

Let's cut some people.

And it didn't take long before they got blood on their hands.

Joel, one of the few who researches crime investigation in Sweden.

He's dangerous for us.

The Traitors went down the technical track.

The group's suspicions were directed towards Samuel and Johannes.

- Johannes is tough. - Yeah, damn tough.

And the voting at the round table was a real nail-biter.

Eight votes each for Johannes and Samuel.

But the last vote fell on Samuel.

- Who was forced to leave the castle. - I am Faithful.

- I knew, I knew. - Damn it!

2-0 to the Traitors-

-but it's not business as usual for this treacherous murder gang.

Alexander is a clear Traitor. There's no doubt about it.

- Who's mentioned me? - Jan and Isabella.

- Was there anyone else? - I withheld from Alex...

how many suspect him.

And if a lot of people have their eyes on

Alex, he might have to take one for the team.

Which game piece has fallen tonight-

-and what counter-move will the Faithful players have?

We'll find out now, in the next chapter of "The Traitors".

- We were first. - First again today!

I wasn't first yesterday. But I have a shield...

It felt good at breakfast with Johannes.

I think he's Faithful. I could absolutely be wrong.

But great that you're still here. Congrats.

Same to you.

It felt good that I was the first to meet him this morning-

-because I felt a bit sorry for him yesterday.

How are you feeling, Johannes? What a crazy situation, huh?

It is. But it's easy for you to say-

-who hasn't made a single reading-

-but just asks questions and says weird things out of cue.

I was angry, sad, and desperate.

Not that you've asked for advice, but I can imagine...

You do have a bit of a temper. It didn't come out yesterday-

-but you reacted, which is totally natural, but...

- I know. - Try to...

- I've reflected on this. - Come in!

- Whoa! - Hey!

Nice! Guys!

- Ahmed! - Hi!

Breakfast might be one of the scariest moments in the game.

What are your thoughts on who's Faithful and who's a Traitor?

- Do you have any feeling? - No, I'm just rebooting the system.

I was so damn sure about Samuel-

-even though it was just because it was the only certain feeling I had.

The longer you sit there, the higher the chance that a question will come-

-and it's almost easier to let something slip in these small talks-

-than in the big picture.

We probably need to look for other characteristics-

-now that we might be getting fewer.

We need to look for other characteristics besides people turning red in the face.

Otherwise, we might miss those who really are...

I get it, personality change is just one track you can follow-

-in the first days when you don't have anything else.

Damn, what a thump. Come on.

Good morning!

- Good morning. How are you? - Hey, Wilmer.

It feels good that I survived the night.

My shield has 100 percent saved me tonight.

I thought I would sleep better because I had a shield-

-but my thoughts just kept spinning.

How? Tell us.

Well... I'm constantly feeling anxious.

If I don't have a shield I'll be murdered.

And it's sad that a Faithful was voted out.

Are you sure about that?

Well, Samuel...

Oh, a Faithful. Sorry. I was thinking if someone had been murdered.

I'm very sure about it since he said so.

You die in two ways, after all.

No, but it's sad. Because we Faithfuls need to get better.

- Someone's here now. - Come in.

- Welcome! - Tompa!

- Welcome! - Hey, hey. What's up.

- Did you sleep at all? - I slept pretty okay.

But I was a bit nervous. But it's awesome.

- We can still drop someone. - So, tonight...

At the council, I know we're picking a Traitor.

- What did you say? - Tonight, at the round table.

We're going to pick a Traitor.

- Why are you saying that? - We'll talk about it later.

But I'm 100 percent sure. It's cool.

Tom was very sure and said we're going to catch a Traitor.

Whatever that might mean. But I guess we'll listen to Tom.

I just believe we're going to pick a Traitor.

- I have such damn confidence. - That's good.

- Here comes... - Come in, come in.

- Hi! - Hi!

- How are you? - I'm good.

I don't like breakfast. I find it a bit awkward.

You're supposed to have processed that you just, the night before, killed someone.

Who do you think won't show up today? What are your thoughts?

Well, it's Jan then. Maybe Jan.

Isabella's probably hanging loose too.

- Why do you think she's hanging loose? - It's just a feeling I have.

I don't say much around the breakfast table.

And I always have to maintain a somewhat realistic vibe-

-when people come in one by one. That's the only thing I'm focusing on.

Come in!

Hi!

We're gonna eat up the Traitors!

- Hey. - Wow, what a great mood!

- What have you done with Johannes? - Come on now!

Hi!

- Malou! - Good morning.

Come in.

Hi!

I just killed someone in there.

It doesn't feel like I'm part of the group.

You're sitting there trying to be part of it, but you're not.

It actually feels a bit lonely.

How many are left? Four?

- It's Isabella, Britta, Jan... - Yeah, that's right.

- Malick. - Britta's probably in a bad spot.

Why couldn't she, for example, be a Traitor?

- Yeah, there's no guarantee. - Come in!

And there came Britta, yes.

- It's Britta! - What if she's a Traitor...

- I don't think Jan is coming now. - You think he's been murdered?

I think he's a threat.

- Malick has to come. - Malick is coming.

But Malick is someone no one thinks is a Traitor.

- The Traitors don't want that. - Malick has to come.

He's the only one with cigarettes here.

- Oh. - There he is. There's Malick.

It's Malick.

It's obviously Isabella who's coming.

Because she hasn't speculated or plotted, as far as I've seen or heard.

She hasn't had a ton of theories. She's just been going with the flow.

Now I'm starting to change. Now I think Isabella's the one who's going.

That's Isabella!

Hi, hi!

I'm putting my card on Jan. I think Jan is very dangerous.

He hasn't mentioned... Well, actually.

- Has he mentioned me? - He's mentioned both.

- Take out Jan. - Take out Jan.

- Come on. You're heavy. - Yeah, let's do it.

"You have been murdered by the Traitors."

And not entirely unexpectedly, it feels.

I probably played a bit too aggressively yesterday.

I should have been a bit more tactical and laid low-

-instead of confronting anyone.

- Safe! - I'm so glad it's you.

This was so tough! This was terrible.

I'm completely shaking.

Isabella came dancing in last, overly theatrical.

- That's just acting. - That?

- Acting, yes. - This: "I'm shaking..."

We just talked about how she didn't need to be worried.

And then she comes in like she just barely saved her life.

No, that's Calle Flygare (acting school).

Yes, she's crystal clear.

Oh, she was so happy to be alive. Oh, she was shaking. Bullshit!

If she was Faithful, she wouldn't have so much to be afraid of.

It's a big loss that he's been voted out.

Because he and Joel are incredibly sharp people.

Yes.

I'm going to play a bit more aggressively now.

Because I think the people who sit quietly in the boat-

-they're going to become very suspicious.

People who don't say much, because that's how most Traitors act.

So now that we've voted out a really strong general-

-I'm stepping in a bit as the succeeding general.

I have something I want to bring up.

Yesterday, we all made a super big mistake.

We voted out a Faithful.

And I think it's super important that we moving forward-

-focus on sharing theories that we have.

Because I hear different... Cleo has a lot of theories-

-and you knew Joel well... All sorts of things, but many have theories.

And I think if we're going to succeed with this-

-it's not enough that we're a small group of three, five people-

-who sit separately and have different theories.

Alexander is trying to give some kind of speech. I don't know why.

He's probably desperate.

And yesterday, I was in a small group talking about-

-why Joel was voted out and how this is connected to Jan.

Alexander wants everyone to discuss in a large group at the round table.

And of course you'd want that if you're a Traitor-

-to know how everyone thinks.

We need to collaborate as a large group to solve this.

Good morning, my angels and liars.

During the night, another piece has fallen.

Rest in peace, general.

One of the most important things in "The Traitors", as in chess...

is to keep track of your opponents' moves.

You must think two, three, maybe five steps ahead.

And then... checkmate.

So now think about your next move.

And I can say this...

During the mission, there'll be a damn lot of moves you'll have to make.

- Arrivederci! - Arrivederci.

No, I think we'll definitely vote out a Traitor tonight.

- I'm a hundred percent sure. - Great, Tom.

I just wanted to say that.

At the round table next time, Alexander's going down.

I'll work my ass off to make it happen.

I've got a few people I know I can count on.

Then I'll convince a few more.

He's a little snake. Smart. Sneaky. Cunning.

Traitor dragon. Jesus Christ.

We were just talking about you. We said you're so damn tall.

We'll just say that...

I've stepped into my new role today, as a leader among the Faithful-

-who's gonna gain authority and respect.

And for that, the leader needs to challenge and hold people accountable.

So the first thing I did after breakfast was to call Isabella-

-and say: "Hey, I've got something I need to discuss with you."

I'd like to have a word with Isabella.

You... I actually feel a bit disappointed and sad, I gotta say.

- But why's that? - Well, because I heard yesterday...

that you said you're gonna keep an eye on me-

-because you think I might be a Traitor.

When people have come to me and said Isabella is a Traitor-

-which I've heard people say, I've always had your back.

- How nice. - And then I heard yesterday...

that you said: "I'm gonna keep an eye on him."

"He might be a Traitor." Something like that.

And I was like: "Isabella? She's my damn..."

- And I got upset. - I understand.

I got sad when I heard that and felt betrayed, sad and...

- I mean, I felt kind of fooled. - I get it.

Isabella reacted really well to it.

I'll say this too. This was tough.

A really difficult conversation.

"Damn, this is my sister."

Standing there with someone I'm like...

Now you've got to show me we're teaming up.

Yes, but I want that. You have strong connections here that I don't.

It's tough to be tough and hard sometimes.

It's tough to... Even though it's a game-

-it's still hard to lie to someone right to their face.

Like I just killed Jan and then walk in and say:

- "A theory on why he was killed." - No...

- I would never do that. - No, I know.

You try to shut off emotions, try to be tough-

-but deep down... I'm just a boy-

-with emotions, with performance... All that comes with it.

I'm 110 percent Faithful.

It's damn difficult.

But... Yeah... It's a part of the game.

See you soon.

- It's Alex. - Yeah, I know.

It's so damn obvious.

I'm afraid he's coming down. Should we go there?

I know that Alexander is a Traitor.

And I base that on how he grabbed me and wanted to talk privately.

It was over the top how he tried to get me on his side.

Right then and there, I realize he's a Traitor.

He thinks he can exploit our previous friendship.

I play totally dumb and he just goes: "Please, Isabella. You have to believe..."

This is so typical Alexander. When he tries to explain to me-

-that he's sorry I think he's a Traitor-

-even though he's not. Because he thinks this is a genius move.

How he tries to find validation from me.

How he talks about the others.

It's hard to act like this towards Alex.

Because we like each other privately. But he's doing the same thing to me.

He's going to talk to me separately to totally fool me.

So I'm telling you, Alex, I really like you-

-but this is a game.

Alexander's going out tonight because he's a Traitor. One hundred percent.

- How's it a hundred? - Alexandra, don't overthink it right now.

Just go with the flow now. You with me?

Right now, many people have their eyes on Alex.

And I need to decide if it's time to wash him out.

Fuck!

Oh my God.

Should I take it? Okay, I'll read it then.

I'm gonna read it as dramatically as I can.

Go for it.

"Players, it's time to row home some more prize money."

"Ship ahoy. Gago."

- Wow. How sick! - Damn.

Players, welcome to today's mission.

I was actually going to make it pretty easy for you.

All you need to do is row that boat to the other side.

Oh my God. I can't row.

Along your journey, you'll encounter three floating docks.

On two of them, there are boxes worth 40,000.

And on the third, a large load of gunpowder-

-which you must take with you to the other side-

-in order to complete the mission.

Once you've crossed over, there's a marked gathering point.

You should stand inside with the money you've brought.

Then you'll pour out the gunpowder and set it on fire.

If the fire burns within 60 minutes, you'll get all the money you've brought over.

- Simple. Did you understand? - Yes!

Good. And before we kick off the mission-

-you'll choose two harbor captains. They'll wait on the other side-

-and navigate you across the sea, and make some other important decisions.

So go ahead and choose these landlubbers.

- I'll gladly be one. - Mona, if you don't like water.

- Are you finding this tough too? - I'd rather be on the other side.

But if someone's afraid of water...

You've got to figure things out up ahead too.

I'm good with the physical stuff and I've learned right from left.

- That's good. - Wilmer and Mona.

- Have you made up your minds? - Yes.

Those who don't really like water, the ones who are more like landlubbers...

It was Wilmer and it was Mona who were our harbor captains-

-and they both feel safe.

Gago always has a little carrot in his back pocket. That's just how it is.

All the players standing inside the burning circle-

-together with the money within 60 minutes-

-I'll reward with a shield, so you can sleep safely tonight.

Gaggare, you can take the landlubbers to the other side.

- See you on the other side. - Good luck, landlubbers.

- Go for it! - I need a shield.

Because I definitely know that if I don't get a shield-

-I'll definitely be killed. One hundred percent.

Okay, players. Have you understood everything? Good. Get in the boat-

-and we'll start the mission.

I can share some of my rowing experience.

I've rowed in Norway twice.

Okay, let's do this! - I like being in the water.

I haven't rowed in a long time, but I rowed a lot when I was younger-

-especially when I was on clearance diving in the military.

- Damn, this is going well! - Let's start!

Right side goes first.

I haven't rowed in a very long time, but I know at least-

-that the most important thing when rowing is to have a synchronized group.

Is anyone sitting on the edge?

- Take it easy. - Just left!

We need to slow down on this side.

Right! Okay, we need to back up. Everyone back up!

- It's very strong current. - Someone needs to steer us!

The teamwork was a disaster. A disaster!

No, just left!

Alex was supposed to take on a role where he would be the leader of the boat-

-but he's terrible!

- Both! - We were 17 people.

And most have never rowed.

Muscles aren't the most important thing, it's the synchronization.

- Now both! - Just right!

Both!

It was an incredibly tough task. No easy conditions.

- Okay, we need to slow down. - Keep going left side!

We went in circles. Maybe four, five times.

In the water, pull! In the water, pull!

"Harbor captains, in order to get boxes of money and gunpowder"-

-"there must be an exchange at the floating docks."

"You harbor captains decide which two will be sacrificed"-

-"at each floating dock."

- That's three and two on each. - Six people will be sacrificed.

We've been given quite a lot of power.

Like the chance to get shields, and also choose who we're gonna sacrifice.

This is gonna create some seriously bad vibes.

Wilmer and I thought it'd be easiest to sacrifice-

-those we actually think are Traitors in some way.

I can straight up say I'm unsure about Cleo. Gry.

- Are you sure about her? - Not about Gry.

- We're both unsure about her. - Then Gry's gonna be the first to go.

Together with Ahmed, we have him, but I think he's Faithful.

- I think Janina is Faithful. - Janina Faithful, Malick Faithful.

- Pascalidou Faithful. - Definitely.

- Left! - Only left!

- Both, both! - Both, both!

- Left! - Only right!

- So yeah, it's cool. - Watch your fingers!

"To get you on board, you'll have to sacrifice two players."

"The harbor captains will decide which two."

What do we have left, Marcus? We just have Marcus.

They could've chosen me, I think. Still, I feel pretty safe.

- Do you? - Yes.

Yes, that's good.

When we saw that two had to be left behind, Bella says:

"I can stay because I feel safe."

They don't get any shields.

She probably means: "I don't feel like I'm being watched."

"I can take one for the team." But since she's being watched-

-now some are interpreting it as her being a Traitor.

- Marcus and Gry. - Yeah, they'll be the first ones.

Hey, this is the harbor captains. WE have decided-

-that at the first floating bridge, Marcus and Gry will jump off the boat-

-in exchange for the gunpowder.

- Gry and Marcus. - Alright, Gry and Marcus out.

- Bye. - We just threw Marcus in there.

There was no direct suspicion. We just had to choose someone-

-and Birro probably won't get voted out anyway-

-so we figured he was safe.

- Are you a Traitor? - No.

You guys are brutal!

- Only right! - Only right.

Mona, they're approaching the second floating bridge.

We need to decide this now. Come on.

- Both! - Both!

- I suspect Isabella. - I don't.

I'm thinking about Britta.

Those were two we didn't agree on. Isabella and Britta.

I think Britta is Faithful, he thinks she's a Traitor.

And he thinks Isabella is Faithful, I think she's a Traitor.

This is really tough.

Mona, they're approaching the second floating bridge.

We need to decide this now. Come on.

- I suspect Isabella. - I don't.

I'm thinking about Britta.

Those were two we didn't agree on. Isabella and Britta.

I believe Britta is Faithful, he thinks she's a Traitor.

And he thinks Isabella is Faithful, I think she's a Traitor.

Okay, I'll give you Britta if we can take Isabella-

-because I strongly believe in it.

Hey, it's the harbor captains again. The ones we want to sacrifice for money-

-are Britta and Isabella.

- Isabella and Britta. - Are you getting off?

I'm really worried that I won't have a shield tonight.

I'm worried that I've played so ambiguously-

-that people don't know where they stand with me.

- Someone thinks I'm a Traitor. - And I'm not a Traitor.

The raft is there.

- Just left! - Both!

Isabella came to me this morning and told me a theory about Alexander.

She was absolutely certain it was him.

I might have been too trusting of him.

- Both! - Okay, so we have Alexander.

I'm a bit unsure about Tom.

Tom also has a strong commitment against Alexander.

Yeah, hello? The one we want to jump off the last floating dock is Tom.

And Alexander is exchanged for money.

- What the hell! - Damn it all.

It feels really bad to be sacrificed. That wasn't cool.

- Next, team! Last bit! - Is it in?

- Oh, my God... - We've done all we can.

Both! Both!

- Left back! - I've got the bottom here.

Yeah!

Time is tight. Stress is maxed out.

I want to stop time. Can you press pause?

- Time is running! - Do we have the gunpowder?

Yes, come on!

Okay, they're here now. We'll go out and meet them.

- Come on, last one! - Well fought!

Where's Malou?

It's pretty stressful. We don't know how much time we have left.

So the panic is at a hundred.

Even Malou ran like Usain Bolt.

Come on now, last bit.

Okay, good job. But you're not quite done yet.

All you need now to complete the mission is the fire.

You'll need to sacrifice two more players.

The harbor captains are up at the finish line and waiting.

- Who are you sacrificing? Time is running. - Shit...

We need two who won't be murdered tonight.

Now it's getting extra stressful. Are we going to have a big debate-

-about who won't get a shield tonight?

- Who's the most good? Matilda... - Probably won't get murdered.

Not getting murdered. Who's gonna get murdered? Maybe Alexandra and I.

- I can sacrifice myself. - You're staying.

One more. Come on, time's running out.

What about Matilda and you?

They think I'm Faithful!

You're not gonna get murdered.

It's almost like she got an unregistered shield from the participants-

-rather than from the game.

The rest of you, go ahead and take the fire.

- Take the boxes! - It's heavy!

Such a fucking awesome job.

Come on!

- Damn, you guys are awesome! - Come on!

- Come on, Malou! - Damn, you're so good!

- Damn, you guys are awesome. - Careful, gotta pour the gunpowder.

Malou, do you have the gunpowder?

In.

- You guys are so good! - In, Malou!

Light it up, light it up!

This is so amazing. It really feels like a reward.

An incredible relief!

- Did you manage it in 60 minutes, I bet? - Yes!

- You made it. - Yes!

I'm going to add 40,000 to your collective pot.

You anxious souls with shields, go ahead and enjoy yourselves now.

Next time we meet is in the council room.

And then it's time to banish a player.

- Ahoy to you! - Ahoy!

I've gotten three shields out of three possible.

My strategy is to put myself in situations-

-where I have a higher probability of getting a shield.

I'm so crazy happy.

What a fucking mess!

The feeling of being sacrificed was: "Okay, what the hell is this about?"

To me, it feels like they want to get me out of the game.

So in that way, it feels like-

-the risk of me getting voted out tonight has increased.

The mood right now is very tense.

The Faithfuls really want a win to boost morale.

And I've now made the decision-

-to actively work to get Alexander out.

Get Alex out and swap in a stronger Traitor.

Tom has been absolutely certain since last night-

-that Alex is a Traitor.

And this morning, when he said today a Traitor would be out-

-he was referring to Alex.

The talk before the council room was interesting.

Ahmed told me that Tom was pushing one name hard, namely Alexander.

I'll probably go along with Tom. I'm gonna vote for Alex.

Then, there was another group that went by a different name.

Namely, Isabella.

What do you feel?

The crazy thing is that I've been leaning towards Isabella. She's incredibly smart.

I've had some suspicions about Isabella. I can't let it go.

And I want to try to let it go, because I like her.

But you can't play this game just because you like someone.

When we were on the boat, before she understood that you were going to vote-

-she said: 'I'll sacrifice myself, because I know I'll sleep soundly tonight.'

'So I can sacrifice myself, ' she said.

Then I thought: 'Wait a minute.'

'That's a Traitor who sleeps peacefully when it comes to shields.'

But what's your impression of Isabella?

I've barely talked to her except for the first time...

I thought she was Faithful at first. But now I've started to hear-

-that maybe she isn't.

- Why? - Because she and Tom...

were really pushing to vote for Alex.

Tonight, I think it's between Alexander and Isabella.

She's been running around with Tom saying: 'You must vote for Alexander!'

-Tom said: 'You vote for Alexander.' -He really wants to control things.

He was really tough on me yesterday.

Yes, let's see what happens.

Good attitude.

The Traitors' plan now is to find the strong players who are left-

-and take them out, and Tom is one of them, I am one of them.

That's why they put me on the raft so I couldn't take a shield.

- What are your thoughts then? - Tonight?

We have the chance to talk now, so we don't have to talk later.

I believe Alexander is a Traitor, absolutely.

He's at the top of my list. Alexander can't suspect anything.

That balancing act is extremely difficult. - I'm still suspicious of Johannes.

Tom raised suspicions about Johannes.

And what I do in this game is confirm everyone's suspicions-

-and try to stir things up a bit.

I'm also suspicious of Johannes. I find him so damn annoying.

The ones I know are on board are Alexandra, Wilmer, Puma Heart-

-and of course Johannes. But I could be completely fooled, no doubt about it.

Tom was talking really weirdly at breakfast.

- He was just babbling about nothing. - That's why I voted for him yesterday.

He doesn't say... He says the same thing all the time.

I suspect Tom and Isabella-

-because they came up to me and Alexandra after breakfast-

-and were really eager for us to vote out Alexander-

-and when I asked why, I didn't get a real answer.

We can only vote out one, and we must be unanimous.

The big risk today is that no one wants the votes-

-to go in different directions.

I can't vote for someone just because everyone else is doing it.

I have my own agenda. I need Alexander to be voted out.

Isabella and I are actually the closest of everyone here.

I'll just keep my fingers crossed-

-that Tom and Isabella have managed to gather enough votes.

Fuck, I'll have to eat my words if this goes to hell.

17 pieces left on the board.

Some play offensively, some lay low.

But what happens when these strong wills, with completely different agendas-

-have to unite? We'll find out now-

-when the doors to the council chamber open up again.

The goal, and what I hope will happen around the round table tonight-

-is that we get Alex out.

I know a bit of what I'm going to say and do tonight.

I just want to give my speech, a little trial.

Alexander can defend himself a bit, then I just want to vote.

I can't handle everyone else talking too.

There's no reason in this case.

I'm prepared. This morning I sat for about an hour-

-and practiced in case someone asks me: 'Are you a Traitor?'

It's so ingrained in my spine now that I feel secure about it.

- Good evening, players. - Good evening.

The Faithfuls are falling off one by one.

So what are you going to do to stop the bleeding?

Simple. Find a Traitor-

-get the group on board and through a democratic vote-

-banish from the game.

I'll go out, take a seat in the front row-

-and follow this drama.

The floor is open.

You could cut the tension inside the council chamber.

The atmosphere is so tense.

We all know Tom is going to explode.

So we're just waiting for it.

Yes, I can start if no one else wants to.

- Malou, do you want to start? - You start.

- Alexander, do you want to start? - No, go ahead.

Absolutely, I'll go right ahead. No big deal.

I went hard at breakfast and said: 'We're going to pick out a Traitor.'

There's a Traitor I know, 110 percent.

It's like 'Traitor' is tattooed on the forehead.

A textbook example of how to play a Traitor.

And that's you, Alexander.

- Me? - Yes, it's you.

This is going to be really tough.

It's difficult to defend yourself, even when you know everything you say-

-is true. And it's much worse to sit in front of people you like-

-and know that everything you say is a lie.

It would be fucking fun to get a Traitor out.

And we might as well go for it, what do you say?

Alexander, he's out now.

There's a Traitor I know, 110 percent.

It's like 'Traitor' is tattooed on my forehead.

A textbook example of how to play a Traitor.

- And that's you, Alexander. - Me?

Yes, it's you.

- And that's just how it is. - Why, I want to know.

I didn't get any explanation this morning.

You can definitely explain it to me.

- Absolutely, I'll do that. - I'm 110 percent Faithful, so...

I'm telling you, if I'm wrong about this and get people involved-

-then my credibility goes to hell.

Then I might as well run to the local lake and drown myself.

This is pretty damn big anyway.

You can definitely explain.

Yes, I'll do that.

From the beginning, you've been very calm in your approach.

You've seemed very confident, on top of things.

You've helped people think a bit, which is kind of weird.

I think many might agree.

And... Yes, that's just how I feel.

No, no, no... This is not going at all how we planned.

He's blurting out things emotionally-

-and not saying anything concrete.

But what are the concrete things?

Yes, this is what I'm talking about.

It's your whole approach. You're so nice...

- Yes, but... - You're pulling in different directions.

Pointing out certain people. And you're super nice and just going with the flow...

I thought Tom would have better arguments-

-since he's prepped for this.

I'm not hearing anything concrete that suggests... Can I speak now?

- You've been talking for a long time. - Yes, absolutely. Of course.

I promise, I'm 110 percent Faithful.

And I'm trying to do everything to help us find a Traitor.

I didn't vote for Samuel.

I thought he was 110 percent Faithful-

-and it turned out he was. I came up with some theory this morning.

That I would sit and kill a person-

-and then come up with a theory about why this person died-

-in front of the whole group when you know there are some sharp-ass people here...

Sharp-ass! That would be totally crazy.

And that I'm nice... I mean, I run my podcast-

-which is a podcast where you're super nice.

I've been criticized for not being an investigative journalist.

Alexander's defense speech is very emotional and powerful.

He's always a person who wants the best for people-

-he's shown that in his podcast, and so on.

And being a Traitor for me, that's totally the opposite of my real life.

My thing is honesty.

One hell of a great speech.

If you vote for me, it'll be like yesterday.

You'll be voting for a Faithful then!

Now there's a risk people won't vote for Alexander-

-which is stressing me out.

I want to start by saying that the person who's most on my radar is Alex.

And that's because you grabbed me this morning.

- The conversation was about... - The conversation was that...

- But let her answer. - Sure, absolutely.

You come up to me and say:

'Isabella, I've heard that you think I'm a Traitor.'

'I'm absolutely not a Traitor.'

For a while, you believe them, that's just how people work.

You connect, we're hugging, we've known each other before.

But afterwards, I get a bad feeling.

That makes me suspect you as a Traitor.

After Tom had made his arguments against me-

-and Isabella made her move-

-I already felt it would be really hard to get out of this.

I notice people are going to vote for Alexander.

I need to save my own skin, because I know I've been going around-

-and standing up for Alexander.

But could we have been in the same situation?

Because when I talked to you and started suspecting you-

-you convinced me that you weren't.

Could he have used the same strategy on you as he did on me?

No, but I wasn't sitting and discussing with you.

What you're saying right now is a pure lie.

When she started rambling, I thought: 'No, no. Where is this going?'

'Don't shift the focus to yourself.'

I understand you're trying to stir things up...

- It's not a lie. - It's a pure lie.

- Sorry, what did you say? - What was the lie?

- It's not a lie. - What is the lie?

Maybe I'm the one who's confused. What's the lie?

I'm going to be 100 percent honest.

Matilda came to me yesterday and said that Isabella said-

-that she would keep an eye on me because I might be a Traitor.

- No, I didn't say that at all. - It's 110 percent.

Stop! I'm getting super stressed now.

I understand, because you said it yesterday.

She said it in the evening in the conclave.

- When? - In the evening.

I didn't talk to you in the evening. What are you talking about?

Then I felt: 'You'll just have to stand for this.'

- That was the thing. - That's not true.

- Nothing else but that. - That's not true.

It felt like Alex was this close to saying:

'But you're a Traitor too!'

Matilda says she didn't say that to me. That's the lie.

I didn't say that. Why would I out what Jan and Isabella said?

Who told me then? Tell me.

How did I find out about it?

Someone's lying. Or I don't know if they're misunderstanding each other.

But it's to my advantage and not to Alexander's advantage.

So... It's to his disadvantage.

Yeah...

I had a front-row seat. And I've been enjoying every moment!

Drama is the best thing I know.

But now, players, it's time to vote.

Go ahead.

Your votes are now locked.

And this time, I'm going to start with you, Malou.

Go ahead. Why and who?

I wasn't sure at all when I came in here-

-but I'm convinced now.

And so I believe that you are a Traitor, Alexander.

Go ahead, Puma Heart.

I don't think Matilda would lie.

And if you're lying about this, then maybe you're lying about several things.

So unfortunately, Alexander. I believe you're a Traitor.

Go ahead, Matilda.

Love is patient, it is gentle, it does not rage-

-but a Traitor's voice always rages.

Alexander, I believe you're a Traitor.

Three votes for Alexander. Go ahead, Tom.

No explanation needed. Alexander, I believe you're a Traitor.

Understood.

Four votes for Alexander. Go ahead, Alexander.

Yeah... Who do I think is a Traitor?

And I'll say this. You're playing a very high-stakes game.

You've told an ice-cold lie in front of me and the group.

I believe that you, Matilda, are a Traitor.

Matilda came at me really hard. So the vote goes to her.

Go ahead, Britta.

Your vibe is so cozy, you're so nice-

-and I'm voting against my feelings now, but...

I want to know now. I need to know if you're a Traitor.

Five votes for Alexander, one for Matilda.

Go ahead, Malick.

I need to know if you're a Traitor. Alexander.

Go ahead, Marcus.

I had dreamed of being on your podcast. That's never gonna happen.

So, Alexander. I don't even know if I believe it-

-but I'm on Britta's line. I need to know-

-and then I'll sleep badly tonight anyway.

Go ahead, Wilmer.

I'm going to again cast my vote for Johannes.

You haven't convinced me yet. I believe you're a Traitor.

Seven votes for Alexander, one vote for Matilda-

-one vote for Johannes.

Go ahead, Mona.

Thanks.

I've voted for you, Alexander. I think you're a Traitor.

Here you go, Gry.

I'm not sure, but now that it's like this-

-I hope you're a Traitor so we don't embarrass ourselves.

But I think Alexander is a Traitor.

We have nine votes for Alexander, one for Matilda-

-and one for Johannes. Here you go, Alexandra.

Your name means "defender of the people"-

-but I'm afraid you might be a Traitor.

Here you go, Ahmed.

My vote is for Alexander.

I think you're a Traitor.

Can we just fast forward so I can go up and speak?

I just want to get out of this room.

Of course, I found it really uncomfortable.

Alexander.

I'm voting for you, Alexander. I think you're a Traitor.

And I sincerely hope you are.

- Alexander. - I'm voting for you too, Alexander.

We have a result.

15 votes for Alexander.

That means Alexander needs to come forward. Welcome up here.

It feels incredibly disappointing to have to leave the game.

I think it was my strategy that I changed for the day.

That I would play a bit more aggressively.

That was obviously my big downfall.

Is there anything you want to say to the group?

It was incredibly fun to be here.

And I'm so happy to do this challenge with you all.

And I think you're all magical.

So it's been incredibly fun, and something I'll remember for the rest of my life.

- And now... - Oh, God...

- What you're most curious about. - Oh my God...

Hang in there, Tom.

The moment of truth. Alexander, are you Faithful or a Traitor?

Congratulations. I am a Traitor.

Damn it, Tom!

- Tom! - Tom!

Calm down! Don't drag me into this, for God's sake.

Matilda!

I've never been so relieved in my life. Ever.

Like when Alexander said he was a Traitor.

I felt like I had risked everything. My credibility, my life.

My children's credibility. Do you understand what I mean? It's totally crazy.

The credibility of everyone I know I've put at risk.

That's how it feels to me. So I'm so damn happy.

Players... You have banished the first Traitor.

- Yes! - But this is how it is.

The Traitors are sitting right here among you. And enjoying it.

So what are they going to do tonight?

What they like best is to murder-

-but you never know what they've got in mind.

That being said, I wish you a pleasant rest of the evening.

- Likewise. - Thanks.

- Crackers and wine... - Hey, we nailed a Traitor!

- Where's Tom? - Tom!

I'm so proud of Tom right now.

He gathered his courage, he confronted Alexander.

- Legend. - I don't want credit for that.

- Yes! - Now we'll find the next one!

We'll start with some red wine, please.

Tom, here you go. Here's the table.

Now people might see me as some kind of hero.

- Excuse me? - Cut it out.

But I'm no oracle, I'm nothing.

It was almost everyone except one who voted for Alexander.

We did it together.

Cheers to us. Damn, how awesome.

For me, this was a gamble.

And if it hadn't gone my way-

-it could have blown up right in my face.

So when he was voted out, I was happy.

But where did we mess up?

I felt that both my and Matilda's reaction-

-might have been a bit too intense.

I'm a Traitor.

If someone's observant, they might have noticed:

"Damn, what strong reactions Ahmed and Matilda had."

It sounds pretty cynical-

-but given how much Matilda broke down after the round table...

We're playing with the idea that she's the Traitor.

To come in so fragile to the round table,

-and realize: "Fuck, I've got to throw him under the bus now."

"Because now he's attacking me in a way that's not cool."

If she thought: "We were a team. We were friends."

"What are you doing to me now?" Because he was trying to save his own ass-

-by throwing her under the bus.

That's why she broke down so much.

That makes sense. Of course.

There's something that gnaws at me about how incredibly sad she was.

But I don't know. You go crazy.

I think we need to open our eyes to one-

-who I don't think we'd suspect.

Far left. At the top.

Yesterday, I saw him come out with Alexander from that room.

Hello? After today, the suspicions I had before are only getting stronger.

I want to hear what Ahmed and Matilda think.

I have so much anxiety. Still.

You don't need to contribute anything right now if you don't want to.

- No, just breathe instead. - The question was also for Ahmed.

I haven't really bought into the whole police angle.

What Alex tried to pitch this morning.

But what other thoughts do you have about the game, beyond that?

That it's gonna get really intense and it's only tomorrow-

-that we'll know which direction we're heading.

When we see if someone's been murdered or not.

But right now? There's so much...

Ahmed has been partially off my radar.

I feel like today, I've gotten a sense-

-that he's a bit of a Traitor.

Ahmed, I think you need to come up with more stuff.

- Why do you think that? - Because 2.5 days have passed.

We can't wait until tomorrow. This is where we're sitting now.

This is where we solve the game.

Should I just blurt out everyone I think is suspicious?

Yes, or Faithful and why. Or suspicious.

If I were to say who I think is the scariest, it's Johannes.

This is what he does. He plays games.

I'm just gonna say this. If I get murdered, vote out Mona.

Mona's on my radar now. I think she's a Traitor.

I'm totally shocked when you mention Mona...

We've talked about this many times. You can't be shocked again.

Every time you mention Mona, I get shocked.

I think she seems so incredibly credible.

The idea was if we got Alexander out-

-then Mona would've been someone we'd want to recruit.

But she's being watched.

What if they don't murder, but recruit instead.

Johannes, you're doing really well.

The entire headhunting firm is going through your resume-

-and thinks you'd be a completely extraordinary...

But Johannes is probably... Fuck everyone else's jobs and credentials.

He's the sharpest one in the room.

- Interesting... - Exciting, you know.

What I did to Alexander was so wrong, bro!

Shit, what a Traitor I am. This wasn't cool.

I've done so wrong and I genuinely thought...

- Listen, I'm not done. - Can I just say one thing?

- You haven't done anything wrong. - Yes, to Alexander.

No, you know why? This is what you don't understand.

People had eyes on Alex and they've had them for a while.

- Did you know they've had them? - Hundred percent.

I had no idea that Alexander was in deep shit.

But why didn't you say anything to me, bro?

When? When we're sitting here with Alex, or what?

The only one who knew Alexander would die from us Traitors was Ahmed.

It's not like I was thinking: "I'm gonna get him out of here."

I wish I had much more trust in him.

That's how it goes.

And suddenly there were just two-

-in your little exclusive murder club.

You're now going to make a crucial decision.

Either you choose to continue murdering, just like you've been doing.

Or you choose to seduce a Faithful-

-so you become three again. But...

If you choose to seduce, then there'll be no murder tonight.

Think about it. I've got other things to do tonight.

Oh, shit...

My original plan was actually to cut someone tonight-

-and make the group believe we're more than two.

On one hand, we want to kill people.

We want one after another to disappear.

At the same time, we want to wage war in this game, and to do that-

-we need to be enough Traitors, more than two.

Either you want to recruit someone who no one suspects at all-

-or someone who's suspected and dies.

- You mean we burn another one? - We burn another one.

Or should we just invite Johannes right away?

- And what happens then? - We bring in a damn strong player.

- What does that mean for us? - That we three can go all the way.

Are many people suspicious of him?

He's been a bit stressed, but he's won people over.

Let's do it. We're doing this. How crazy.

So we're agreed? We're recruiting Johannes.

We'll make a long-term play and see what happens.

We need someone who can provide strategic input.

So we landed on Johannes, the game strategist-

-we'll obviously bring in.

- Let the game continue. - Let's do this.

This is scary, it's stressful.

If Johannes says no and makes the connection-

-that it could be Matilda and Ahmed, we have a max of one or two days left.

Okay...

A letter. For me?

It's time to dig up the deepest thoughts of the murdered and exiled-

-their traumas and secrets. And of course we'll reveal-

-who the Traitors are. See you down here in the "Tomb Chamber"-

-right after "The Traitors".
