Original subtitles

No.

Yeah. I need more upbeat.

Oh, there it is.

Are they on their way?

Good. Keep an eye on them.

22 people from across the UK

have been invited to this Scottish castle...

Let's go, team!

To play the ultimate psychological game of deception...

I'm scared!

All in the hope of winning up to £120,000.

They'll work together as a team to build up the prize pot

by completing epic missions.

Oh, no!

But hidden amongst them are the Traitors,

who, under the cover of darkness,

will secretly murder their fellow players.

It's up to the Faithful to work out who the Traitors are and banish them

before they become their next victim.

Let's go!

Who will live?

Who will die?

This is The Traitors.

Good evening.

You stand before the Traitors Turret.

Before you take the Traitors Oath, I imagine you're wondering

why this cloak is a different color.

I can now reveal you have a special role.

You... are my Secret Traitor.

My name's Harriet. I used to be a criminal barrister.

Now I'm an author of psychological thrillers.

The beginning of chapter one.

So I'm hiding the fact that I'm a crime writer and an ex-barrister,

because I think it will make me a huge target.

Ah!

Oh, sh...

I'm Stephen.

I'm from the Isle of Lewis in the Outer Hebrides of Scotland.

Growing up queer on a small, isolated community

is very difficult.

-I love your shoes. -Thank you very much.

I've spent my formative years having to be different people

depending on the environment that I'm in...

I'm from the Isle of Lewis.

Oh, how lovely! -Yeah.

But I live in London now.

And so I'm hoping that comes in handy here.

I'm Judy, I'm just 60.

-I'm a hugger. -Oh, so am I! I'm Stephen.

I work in fostering and adoption.

I think the job I'm in, you have to make decisions on the spot.

Hey!

So I like to think I'm a tough cookie.

I will speak my mind.

Take it or leave it, that's just me.

-I love a cow! -I mean, this is my happy place.

-Are you an outdoorsy person? -Yeah, I do a lot of hiking.

Yeah. What do you do?

I'm a teacher! -Oh, nice.

Being a teacher, I feel like I've got a lot of strings to my bow

that I can pull on and hopefully help me win this game.

-I'm an artist. -Oh, really?

I draw my pension every month.

-Ross. -Ellie.

I live and work in London. What about yourself?

-Yeah, I also live in London. -Is it?!

So what made you apply?

I consider myself a very competitive person.

When I am gunning or working very hard at something,

I tend to perspirate,

and so "Sweaty Ross" will do anything he can to win.

It's not pretty, but I've won a lot of things.

Oh, you're going to be good at the challenges, then.

That's my plan!

We've got a new recruit.

The skills that I'm going to be relying on

are going to be that I've got a really good sense

of what makes people tick and, ultimately,

how I can get them to do what I want.

How you doing?

How are you? -I'm Sam.

I'm a fantastic liar to people that don't know me...

Hello!

Hi. -How crazy is this?

And I will throw whoever under the bus to make sure that I win.

-Hi! -Hello!

-Hi!

-Looking forward to meeting you all! -What a lovely welcome.

I'm Fiona and I live in Swansea.

Come here, Fiona! You all right? Faraaz. Nice to meet you.

It's nice to have a cwtch.

I'm 28 years of age.

It was my best age, so I'm sticking to it!

-Hello! -Hello, hi!

You've got to see the fun in things.

Oh! I can feel the ground rumbling.

-Can you? -No.

-There it is! -Oh, it's so cute!

That's incredible!

Wow, this is so exciting!

Oh!

He's quite dashing, isn't he?

-There I am, there I am! -Hello, hello!

I couldn't find my name!

-It's actually crazy... -I know.

Moving on the train.

What was your name?

My name's...

You're going to have to bear with me because I have a stammer.

OK.

It's a bit like you have to, like, run and build up to it.

Right.

My name's...

Jessie.

Having to tell people my name is one of the biggest tests ever.

-So... -You just did it.

-I'm really pleased. -You just did it!

-Well done. -Thank you!

Hello, guys. You all right?

-Whereabouts are you from? -Swansea.

Oh, brilliant. So I'm from Cardiff.

-Lovely! -Originally, but I've been

in London for so long now.

-So what do you do in London? -So I'm a barrister.

I'm choosing to be upfront with people about being a barrister,

so I'm hopeful that people will see me as fun and approachable

and not some sort of lawyer in a suit that's going to be icy cold.

-Where are you from, sorry? -I'm...

I'm trying to persuade the Welsh person that I'm from Cardiff.

The jury's out!

I'm an excellent judge of character, and I'll use that in this game.

What's your most passionate hobby?

Ghost hunting.

-Ghost hunting, yeah? -Stop! Talk to us.

After my dad passed, I wanted to make sure he was there, so I just...

Me and my mates dived into that, and that was it.

Any spirits in the castle?

I don't know. Ain't been there yet!

Just when they think they know how to play!

-Here we go! -I can't wait to see the castle.

Oh, my stomach's in knots, but it's, like, excitement knots.

Like, butterflies.

I'm Rachel, I'm 42.

There's nothing that I won't do to win a game.

I work in communications. I have three kids.

I know how to negotiate.

I just have a tendency of knowing the right thing to say

and how to get what I want.

First one to see the castle gets 10p.

More like 120 grand!

It is all about to start.

My hands are getting sweaty. -Yeah!

-That's it. Yay! We're here! -Hugo, it's 10p for you.

There it is!

-Oh, my God! -I can't believe we're here in real life.

What is going on?!

-Oh, wow! -This is happening.

No way! This isn't real. Get out of town!

Oh, my gosh! Oh, my gosh! Oh, my gosh!

Woohoo!

Oh, this is sick.

-Oh, it's so weird, isn't it? -Let's go, let's go, let's go!

I don't even know where to take myself.

Hello!

I get out of the car and I recognize the face of someone called Ross

I've met, like, ten or 15 years ago.

I know him!

-What?! -That's crazy.

-We actually... -We do actually...

Oh, my God!

I had no idea that Ross was going to be here.

But, actually, it feels really nice to see a familiar face.

-This is insane! -So do you know each other from London?

-It was, like, years ago. -Years ago, years ago.

Yeah. Like, we've not seen each other in a long time.

-Oh, my God, it's Claudia! -Hello!

Oh, my God!

-Hello, players. -Hello!

Welcome to the Traitors castle.

Congratulations. You made it off the train.

That doesn't... always happen.

You should know, though, things are about to get quite sinister.

This castle is full of secrets and lies.

I have a question for you -

are you ready to play the game of your lives?

Please go into the castle.

Come on in!

Oh, my God!

Oh, mama!

-Oh, my God, what is happening? -This is wild!

Honey, I'm home! Oh, my...

It was mad. Like, am I...? Am I here? Is this me?

Isn't this unreal? Isn't this crazy?

This is so real now.

I'm a big, avid video gamer,

and I play a lot of social deception games,

so it doesn't really get better than this.

It's like a giant murder mystery.

Oh, my God! Look at all these goodies!

-Dates. -Your Jelly Babies.

Digestives. Chocolate buttons!

I'm a family man. We're a very close-knit family.

How many kids have you got?

-I've got five. -Five?

-Five children? -Yeah.

-Oh, good grief!

I want to play this game

because this is something for them to be proud of.

I'm just overjoyed that I'm here.

Family tree? Can you speak Latin at all?

Totally. It says, "Rachel is going to win this game."

Yeah, go on, Rachel! I love it, I love it.

Is it too early for a very dry sherry?

Never too early, surely!

Where are you, Fiona? There you are, right in the middle.

-Yeah! -Looking incredibly sly!

-Amanda's... -Oh, yeah?

I'm one of the short ones here, so they put me at the bottom.

-Easier to pick off. -Yeah, easier to pick off!

My name's Amanda. I'm from Brighton, and I volunteer for a charity.

-What's in there? -I don't know!

I'm also a retired detective chief inspector,

but I'm not going to tell anyone.

Oh, it's the bar!

My game plan is to use the skill set that I've got,

whether I'm a Traitor or a Faithful.

But I know that there's a job to do.

What do you want, love?

Sorry. I need to come and sit next to you.

In a weird twist of fate, we know each other.

-No?! -We do indeed.

Yes!

We have a mutual friend from a few years ago.

Aha!

To be fair, we've not met for years, though.

-Literally! -For, like...

-Well, I've been in Glasgow for ten years

-and I've not seen you in that time. -Ten years plus. Ten years plus.

Did you work together? Or how did you know each other?

No, we just had a mutual friend in London.

Oh, cool.

Is it scary that you know each other or...?

-I love... I think I love it. -I think it's good.

-I'm not sure how it looks. -Yeah.

Seeing Netty for the first time, I was initially like,

"Ooh, can we try...?"

But she's a very honest person, so she's gone, "Ross!"

And so, you know, I didn't want to betray her

because, yeah, it was actually genuinely really nice to see her.

But in the back of my mind,

I was thinking, "Uh-oh, this looks a bit suss."

The players are about to sit at the Round Table

for the very first time.

As always, I will pick my Traitors.

But I'm going to do something else.

I'm also going to pick a Secret Traitor.

Nobody will know who that is -

not the Traitors and not even you.

It's naughty, isn't it?

What would you do with the money?

Me and my partner actually did get engaged...

Aw! -During Covid.

And if I win, then I might have to follow through.

Yeah!

Who can deny a gay wedding? You know what I mean?

The best!

I want to take my little girl off around the world,

see different places, experience different things.

My mum has dementia, and I want to use that money

to make memories with her and with my kids.

I'd love to win money to take my wife

on a honeymoon that she's never had,

cuz I was in the forces, so she's never had a honeymoon.

Growing up, we didn't really have much financially

and my parents gave everything,

so I would just love to repay the favor.

I'd love to be able to pay for me and my family to go to Hajj

and complete that religious pilgrimage.

And then with the leftover, you know,

I wouldn't mind a new motor, you know what I mean?

Welcome to the Round Table.

I'm going to be honest with you -

things are about to get very, very real,

as your fates are about to be decided.

How strategic are you?

I'm quite smart.

I can't remember names, I can't spell names,

but strategy-wise, I'm really three steps ahead of everyone.

I'm able to make meaningful relationships,

but I will drop those in an instant if I have to.

I want people to see me as that Essex PT stereotype.

I don't want them to really know what I'm truly like.

From playing chess every single day competitively,

I've got that strategic mind.

I'm very, very good at reading people.

I am completely made for this game.

I've lied my way into a presidential bath suite

by pretending I was the President of Ireland's daughter.

My game started the second I got out of the car.

Yeah.

I am able to draw people in, get them to let their guards down,

but I wouldn't have any qualms in cutting people down

-to get to where I need to be.

How does lying make you feel?

When you get away with it, then it's wonderful, isn't it?

Telling the traffic warden, "I've only been here two minutes!"

Yeah.

And you've been parked up for about three hours.

I want you to do something for me.

I want you to look at each other -

really, really look at each other -

because this is the last time you will sit here as equals.

In just a moment, I will select my Traitors.

Big question now -

would you like to be a Traitor or a Faithful?

-100% Traitor. -Would you?!

I've found baddies all my life.

Now it's time to be one.

Traitor. People could not possibly believe that I have it in me.

They think I'm just like the class clown.

Traitor, definitely.

I do think I could be a Traitor.

I think I just have more to give as a Faithful

and rooting out who the Traitors are.

-I would love to be a Traitor. -Why, Netty?

I just think you have more fun with it.

I really, really want to be a Traitor.

A Traitor, 100%.

I want to be a Traitor.

100% Traitor.

I would love to be a Traitor.

-Why? -I would just love a free pass

to be a wee bit naughty.

Because I'm so bubbly and jolly in the work I do,

I think, let me go to the dark side as a Traitor.

-I would love to be a Traitor. -Why?

I see myself as a kind of psychopathic teddy bear.

There's a "Hug" in my name.

But get too close, there'll be a dagger in your back.

Players...

it's time.

Please put on your blindfolds.

If you feel me touch your shoulder, that means you are a Traitor.

My heart is absolutely coming out of my chest.

And everyone around me is listening for the slightest

shortness of breath or gasp. There's absolutely nowhere to hide.

I'm a Traitor!

Oh, my goodness, I can't believe I'm saying that!

I am buzzing.

I don't know myself any more.

Give me the cloak, who am I going to become? Jesus Christ!

My poor mother's going to be beside herself.

I really wanted this, and I was manifesting

and just visualising Claudia tapping the shoulder.

And then when she did, I was like, "Oh, my God!"

I can't wait to murder people,

which sounds so bad, but I can't wait.

I'm really looking forward to it.

My goodness me!

My heart has never beated as fast or as hard

as when Queen Claudia tapped me on the shoulder.

Players, I have selected my Traitors.

The rest of you are the Faithful.

The game has officially begun. Please remove your blindfolds.

Traitors...

you will meet and discover each other's identities tonight.

Your job is to remain undetected and murder the Faithful.

Faithful, your job is to stay alive,

hunt the Traitors and banish them before you become their next victim.

Remember, if there are any Traitors left at the end,

they take all the money.

But that is a long way off.

-That was quite tense, wasn't it? -Oh, Jesus!

-How many laps was that? -Like a shark!

So I have some good news.

There is no murder tonight.

Instead, players, I've laid on some drinks for you.

Go and enjoy.

But don't relax too much -

because tomorrow, the killing begins in earnest.

Goodnight.

Oh, my God!

And breathe!

Now it starts!

So, Hugo, Rachel and Stephen are now my Traitors.

But what you didn't see is who I picked for my Secret Traitor.

Do you know who it is? Could you guess?

-It's weird trying to look at, like, everybody's faces, isn't it?

-Yeah.

It could be anyone!

Wow!

God, so exciting.

Did you notice anyone was any different afterwards?

-It's so difficult to tell, isn't it? -I know.

None of us know each other that well...

-No, I know. -To even read, like, body language

-or facial expressions. -There's some...

There are some little telltale signs.

Like, I've already noticed one person,

-but I'm not going to say who it is. -Really?

Oh, but, guys, no murder! We're all going to be at breakfast!

-No murder, my goodness me! -That's really good news.

That's really good news.

-We can get a good sleep tonight. -Yeah.

I am so excited for this game of cat and mouse.

My game plan is keep doing what I've been doing all day today -

making friends with the people I think are the most Faithful.

We're going to find those Traitors together.

That's our plan. That's our job.

Let the games begin.

-Look at all that gold, ladies! -Look at that!

Well, that was the most nerve-racking thing

-I've ever experienced. -I think...

Yeah, it was definitely more intense than what I expected.

You're not a Traitor, are you?

Oh, a big fat dirty one!

OK. I'm taking it, I'm putting that in my pocket!

Oh? I've not got it in me, yeah! I've not got it in me.

I don't think I've got it... I'm so glad you're not.

I'm so glad you're not.

I'm very good at deceiving people,

especially people that don't know me.

I sound so cruel.

I'm a nice person in real life!

But this is a game, and I'm just... Yeah, I'm here to win.

I did think I wanted to be. I was very, very clear.

-But I actually feel... -Great, and relieved.

-quite relieved...

-Yeah, it's a nice feeling... -I think that now

it is sort of proper detective work.

We've all got to sort of try and sort of suss it out.

With a bit of luck, we will do, but...

No, absolutely. -Hey-ho.

The Round Table, it was daunting.

You just thought, "Oh, my God!" Very scary, but I loved it.

I loved every bit of that.

What a relief. Sleep easy tonight.

-Well... -Glad there's no murder.

-no murder tonight.

-Yeah, which that's... -So we can just chill out.

Work it out a bit better tomorrow, maybe.

I am a Traitor. I'm absolutely delighted.

It's what I came here to do.

But I don't really have a good take on who the other Traitors are

right now, which is interesting.

And it puts us in a vulnerable position, I suppose.

Blimey!

Do you feel like you saw anything, or...?

Cuz obviously we have nothing to go on...

You know what?

I found it really hard. I didn't necessarily notice anyone

had gone really quiet or, like... Do you know what I mean?

I think I saw Judy.

-It is just weird you said that name... -Uh-huh.

Because I feel like the vibe was definitely different to me

before and after.

The shift that I saw was with Judy.

I was quite open with putting that out there.

As much as it is really lovely to get to know people,

this is a game.

If I need to, you know, stir the pot a little bit,

then I will do it if I feel it will help me with the game.

-Can I ask you something? -Yeah, go on. Please do.

Because we should be looking at a change in behavior,

because I haven't spent time with some people,

how am I going to notice if their behavior...?

-If they're different? -If it's different?

-Yeah, I understand that.

Look out for the people who aren't offering opinions -

"I'll let everyone else do the work."

Look out for them.

My game plan going forward is to listen

and to build up those relationships with people,

trusting relationships.

Did you notice anyone...

Yeah. -Act weirdly?

Me and you clocked the same person. Matt, there was something about him.

-Like, a glazed look on him. -Matt?

-Yeah, it was a glazed look.

Most people that I saw were looking round the room.

Jade was, like, looking straight down.

-And she looked terrified. -Ah!

-Like, really scared.

It could be nerves, I don't know, but that's the only thing I've got.

Now that the Traitors selection has happened, the game's started.

You cannot trust anyone.

I've always seen myself as a leader, not a follower,

so my game plan has to be in line with that.

I just know you're a Faithful!

-I've got a feeling - I just know. -Because I'm so relaxed?

And I know that will probably put me in a bit of danger.

But I'm here to win.

James, did you see anything?

Um... Hang on, let me just check.

-I saw a few things. -Right, go on.

-I'm not saying anything yet.

-No, you need to! -Yeah, but they'll just murder me!

One of them's in here.

-Oh! -Yeah.

We've got a massive advantage, the Faithfuls,

we're the massive majority -

cuz they don't know who their team-mates are.

I think they'd be scared to upset...

-To point fingers tonight. -Their team-mate inadvertently.

I don't want to throw any, like, spanner in the works,

but somebody here could be a Traitor.

-It's very likely. Yeah. -I know.

We're sat here having nice, cosy conversations

cuz we're all Faithfuls.

As the time's going on, their heart rate's going down,

they're getting away with it, they're comfortable.

So we've got to, like... I don't know.

Tonight is the night, but it's slowly coming to an end.

Yeah.

They don't know out there the training that I've had -

covert policing, intelligence.

My secret weapon is I have both the Jekyll and Hyde personalities...

to do what I have to do.

-Oh, right! -That's it.

-That's me, then. OK, right!

The castle clock has chimed,

which means all the players must return to their individual lodgings,

where they can't see or speak to anyone.

But for the Traitors, the night is still young.

They must prepare for their first conclave,

when they will reveal their true identities.

And, as they're about to find out,

this castle is full of secrets - even for them.

You stand before the Traitors Turret.

Before I give you this cloak,

I'm going to need you to take the Traitors Oath.

Do you commit to lie and deceive

-throughout this game? -I do.

Are you willing to murder one of your fellow players

every single night?

I am.

And do you vow to keep your identity

and the identity of your fellow Traitors a secret?

I do.

It gives me great pleasure to say you are officially a Traitor.

Thank you so much!

Green does look good on you.

Looks quite good, doesn't it?

In you go.

Going into the conclave, I'm thinking,

"My entire game rests on the people that I'm going to meet in here."

I can't kick my strategy off

until I see who I'm sharing the cloaks with.

I'm really excited to meet the other Traitors.

I don't have a great idea of who they are,

but I can't wait. I can't wait to find out.

Oh, my God!

Rachel!

We're going to smash this.

What are the chances?!

I feel Rachel and I are going to work together very well,

because we're very different.

-Oh, that is so funny. -Wow! I'm delighted.

Oh, you're going to be fun to play with.

I think Hugo's a devil.

From the minute I met Hugo, I thought, "I'll get along with you,

"but I definitely don't trust you."

And I think he would feed me to the wolves like that.

-You are so sub-radar. -Oh, that's good.

Also, I think you might have tried to banish me

-if we hadn't been Traitors. -Without a doubt.

I am so excited to see who else is in that Turret with me.

This is single-handedly the most exciting moment of my life.

There he is! The best-dressed Traitor!

I never knew!

I can't believe it!

This is crazy.

When I saw Rachel, I could not believe it.

I was convinced that she was a Faithful.

I'm a little bit unsure about Hugo.

I think out of the three of us,

he is possibly going to be the one that attracts suspicion the soonest.

-So we can't murder tonight. -I know! I'm gutted.

I was really looking forward to just getting straight in.

-Yeah! -You savage!

Hello!

-Oh, hello, my dear! -Did I scare you?

-He's very jumpy! -I'm quite jittery tonight!

-Well, it's a big deal. -It's a big deal!

You're a Traitor!

I just had to pop in because I have a small confession.

-Oh! -Oh, no.

-Mm.

You are not the only Traitors in this castle.

At the Round Table, I picked one other Traitor -

the Secret Traitor.

-No?! -Oh, my God.

You still have power, but not quite as much.

You are my Secret Traitor.

You will not be joining your fellow Traitors tonight.

Instead, you will be controlling them.

That Secret Traitor will work alone.

Each night, they will provide you with a murder shortlist.

Ah!

You can only murder one of the people

that is on the murder shortlist.

Because they're a Traitor, they won't put themselves on it.

And, of course, they won't put you on it.

Let me add this - you do not know who they are,

but they know exactly who you are.

I can now reveal who your fellow Traitors are:

Rachel, Stephen and Hugo.

You are the only player in the game who knows everyone's identities.

Tomorrow is the first murder,

and the Secret Traitor will covertly provide the murder shortlist.

-Understood? -Understood.

-OK.

Not appreciated, Queen of Darkness!

You are the Secret Traitor. Use your powers wisely.

-This is twisted. -Just the way I like it.

Tomorrow the real work begins.

Well, that's a twisty-turny thing, isn't it?

No, that's just made it so much more complex.

It has.

We don't know how long we've got to survive for.

No, but we need to regain our power.

And then chuck this person under the bus!

-How dare they usurp us?! -Oh, my goodness.

-Is that what you'd do to us? -No, but you're not... We're all equals.

Come on!

I am so annoyed about this.

I do not require middle management.

I'm going to be looking tomorrow at who is acting differently around me

because they know I'm a Traitor.

Who the hell is the Secret Traitor?

I just want to have free rein of who we murder.

-So if we just watch. -Watch. And then...

-We've got to observe.

I'll watch who's watching you lads.

Right.

That's a bombshell. I don't know how that's going to play out,

but I have eyes like a hawk.

I'm going to be watching everybody tomorrow,

and I'm hopefully going to suss out that Secret Traitor.

Because there was no murder last night,

the players are heading straight to their first mission.

This is their opportunity to come together

and start building that all-important prize pot.

Mission today.

-Woohoo! -Whey, let's go, guys!

First mission, it's going to be a big one, right?

Yeah, 100%.

We've got to try and bag as much as we can, ain't we?

There's genuinely no-one in this car that I suspect at all.

I'm going to bet a lot of money that Matt is a Traitor.

Matt and I get on really well, but I felt a shift in his energy

when I was talking to him after the Round Table.

Who do you think is a Traitor?

-Judy's name was brought up. -Yeah, a lot.

I haven't brought her up yet, but I did have her...

Her name.

-Oh! Look how gorgeous this is. -OK...

No! Stop it!

What is all that in the water?

Oh, my God.

-They're coffins! -No, they're not! Are they? Are they?!

-No, stop it!

Oh, we're going to get wet, aren't we?

Open water! Not my best mate.

And coffins - I don't think they're

anyone's best mate, to be honest.

Let's go, girls!

-Oh, my God, they ARE coffins. -Oh, my God!

Coffins on a lake. It's a little bit ominous, isn't it?

I'm so excited for the first mission.

Running around like a madman with Claudia Winkleman watching me do it.

So buzzing.

Players, welcome to your first mission.

Are you ready to add money to the prize fund?

Yes!

OK.

Floating out there on this beautiful loch are 100 coffins.

12 of them contain gold.

All you have to do is tow the coffin containing the gold

to that graveyard over there,

and place the coffin in an open grave.

For every coffin in an open grave,

I will add £1,000 to the prize fund.

-Let's do it. -Come on.

So, if you are entirely successful,

£12,000 could be added to your prize pot.

Yeah. Nice start.

You have 45 minutes to do this.

-Nice. -That's not long.

There are three rowing boats there that will help you,

and your time will start when you hear me ring my bell.

Enormous luck.

Please - go and get ready.

Guys, guys, should we, like, organize ourselves?

So there's three boats.

-Seven, seven, eight. -Seven, seven, eight.

The more I think about the Secret Traitor,

the more I think the Secret Traitor

has more pressure on them than we do.

-I think we need some strength. -Yeah, we do, definitely.

-We need some strength. -Definitely.

So I'm going to be looking for signs of pressure.

I'm going to be looking for how they interact with me

and the other Traitors.

-We need to have a balance of... -Yeah.

-Men and women. -Yeah.

I will be watching and listening very carefully.

-Come on, team. -Come on, team.

-We're all in this together.

All in this together.

It's a beautiful day.

Lovely day for towing coffins.

Three, two, one.

-Go, go, go, go! -Go!

-You all right? -Yes, thank you, my darling.

-Yes, yes! -Yes, let's go!

We had to split into three teams

and row over to those 100 coffins

and find 12 which had money signs on the top.

Right, check these coffins along the edge.

OK.

-Can you see that? -That's an X. That's an X.

-Keep going! -We need to go left!

Stop, Mum! Stop, stop, stop, guys!

What is that? What is that? I can't see?

-Netty, keep your eyes out. -Money! It's money!

OK, OK, OK. Back pedal, back pedal.

I do think people do underestimate me.

And I do think that's one of the driving forces for me to kind of

push to be here.

You know, I'm 42 years old. I'm a single mother on my own.

I've got a limb difference. But do you know what? I can do this.

Yes, Netty!

-Nice, nice. -Go! Got it.

Well done! Bring it to me!

Sorry.

-Why are we...? -Just do it...

-We're not going anywhere.

We are, we are.

We're not. We're literally not moving.

-Surely we're not moving. -Normal row, not too powerful, though.

Just keep it...

Keep it light. -Keep it light.

Every time we moved forward,

we was being pulled back and I thought,

"The current can't be this strong."

Oh, my... We're on the... We're on the wrong clip.

-We're on the wrong clip. -Oh, my God!

-You are kidding us?!

It turned out that we had actually left the anchor

attached to the coffin and therefore we weren't moving anywhere.

What a disaster.

-There's one coming here. -Can you see it?

We got one. We got one.

-That's it. -Well done.

In, out...

We're getting there.

So the players think that this mission is straightforward.

All they have to do - find a gold coffin

and place it in an open grave.

But, of course, there's always a twist.

Oh, my God, it's got our names on it!

"To bank the gold, a coffin must be placed in a grave."

-Oh, my God. -"Players with a coffin in their grave

"will be up for murder tonight.

"Players with empty graves will be shielded from murder."

The graves with coffins in them will be up for murder tonight.

I thought, "Oh, my God, here we go."

-Right. Who? -Who?

Rachel's nearest. Rachel's nearest.

-Right. Ready? -Three, two, one.

Pop it in, we can go back down then, can't we?

All right, let's go back.

Let's go again.

Our reasoning wasn't at all to do with Rachel.

It's to do with how close we were to Rachel's grave.

It's horrible, but it wasn't, like, a major consideration for us.

That is a bit of a twist, isn't it?

So £1,000 is banked for the prize fund,

but Rachel is also up for murder tonight.

Except she isn't, of course.

Right, let's go.

Let's go. -Go, go, go.

-Oh, the graves have got our names on it. -Oh, no!

"To bank the gold a coffin must be placed in a grave. Players with

"a coffin in their grave will be up for murder tonight."

-Oh, Rachel! Oh! -Oh, Rachel, no!

I'm shocked, but secretly delighted,

because I was never going to be murdered.

So I just thought, use it as a good opportunity

to cement yourself as a Faithful.

Let's be realistic. They're probably going to think for themselves.

-Yeah. -We should think for ourselves.

Right, come on, then,

-what are we doing? -Just choose any in any other boat.

-James.

-OK, James. -Sorry, James!

-Well done, guys. Well done, guys.

-Slowly does it. -Well done, well done, well done.

-Right, let's go.

We just done it random. We just thought, "Get it in there,

"get back out there, get more gold."

Cuz every coffin that we brung in was worth £1,000.

Right, let's go. Let's get a jog on, shall we?

Stop, stop, stop. "Players with a coffin in their grave

"will be up for murder tonight."

-James, there's one in yours. -James, you've got a...

-Bastard!

Has anyone got any names, or are we happy just to go anywhere?

Any!

Just go... Fiona, Fiona, Fiona. That'll do.

I was very keen as a Traitor to make sure

that not too much thought was given

to which graves we put the coffins in.

We filled up the nearest graves to where we arrived,

and we figured we could just say, "Well, we just did the nearest ones,

"we didn't think about it."

-Right, let's go. Quick, quick, quick. -Come on, guys, let's go.

So, currently up for murder -

Fiona, Rachel and James. £3,000 banked.

But there's still time.

Now, controversially, are we just picking any other graves

-that are not ours? -Yeah, yeah, yeah.

Money! Money, money, money!

Get it, get it, get it.

Red have got their next coffin!

So first name that we see that's not ours, yeah?

-There's no malice, isn't it? -Right, who's not in our team?

Ross isn't in our team, he's closest to us,

-shall we just go for that? -Yeah, OK.

-Just as long as they're not... -I feel like I can't do Ross.

-RIP. -I can't!

-It's done. I'm sorry, Netty.

He'll probably do you! Go!

I can't quite get a read on Netty.

It's really frustrating

that we don't know who the Secret Traitor is.

I think, for me, I'm finding it quite difficult

because I normally am able to break into people quite easily.

And Netty I've not managed to crack yet.

If there's someone that we've got a strong suspicion is a Traitor,

it's one less Faithful they can kill.

Has anyone got any suspicions?

Adam. He went bright bloody red at the Round Table yesterday.

James throws out names quite a lot.

He's creating noise and chaos.

In terms of the game strategy, James is brilliant

cuz he's making noise that helps me.

He's there, he's there on the left.

The only evidence I've got is he was bright red.

Watch your hands.

-Well done, guys. -Over half your time is gone,

but you're doing brilliantly.

Does anyone have any suspicions of any Traitors yet?

Cuz there's no point putting in any of those you're suspicious of.

If you're putting in a suspected Traitor...

I've got a suspicion of Judy and Reece.

-OK. -Let's not do them, then.

-There's a few here empty.

-Let's just go down the left. -Quick, quick, we're wasting time.

-Who are we doing? -Judy.

We're going Judy. All right. Gotcha.

Only because her name came up yesterday.

Our strategy was, let's not put coffins in the graves

of suspected Traitors.

Why has Fiona pushed us to do that when I thought we'd all agreed?

If you put the coffin in, you're saving them, are you?

No, they're up for being murdered.

-Oh! -You see?

-I got you, got you, got you.

So half the coffins have been found. Still six more to find.

-OK, keep going. -What's this one on the right?

-What's that one?

-X. -OK, keep going.

Ladies, what ones are on the left?

-Oh, there's... -Yes! I told you!

-You're brilliant.

Money, money! There's money!

Oh, I think two coffins are coming. I think two coffins are coming.

This would be majestic.

If we're there at the same time as them, they won't probably put it

in one of ours. So get there, so, like, put them off their decision.

-OK, Reece, Reece, Reece. -Reece is here, go.

-We're doing Reece.

It was a lot of pressure to be in because

obviously we don't want to put anyone up for murder

because we just met each other.

This game is already trying to drive a wedge between people.

First one we see that's not us on the back, right?

Come on.

-Oh, no, they put one in mine! -No!

When I saw my coffin,

it absolutely freaked me out a bit.

But I just thought, "Just carry on. Brace through it."

It's out of my hands.

Right, guys, we need to just choose a random one that's not ours.

-RIP, Faraaz. -Sorry, Faraaz. We love you.

-Love you, mate.

Let's go!

Come on!

You only have five minutes left!

-Steady on this bit. -Steady on the rocks.

-Let them do it first.

-OK. -Tactically, let them go first.

-Yeah, yeah, yeah.

Otherwise they'll watch what we do

and they'll start second-guessing us

and we might not be doing the right thing. Trust me, trust me.

I think about things.

Hugo says - I think, wisely -

"If we let them get up to the grave

"before us and then we get there,

"they'll not put the coffin in any of our graves."

-Go. Pick somebody's. -I don't think Maz is a Traitor.

OK, well, let's do Maz.

Row! Row!

I think Netty's name has been thrown out

-because her and Ross know each other. -OK, fine.

Right, come on, let's go. Let's cheer them in.

-Let's go, guys! -Come on!

Part of me hopes that they wouldn't make it

cuz I really didn't want to be murdered.

-Row! -Row!

-Row!

Three, two, one.

We were just seconds out of time. It was the most crushing feeling.

The mission's over. Well done.

Everyone, come in. Gather round, please.

I have to say, I am so impressed with you.

And congratulations,

because you have added a mammoth

-£10,000. -Come on, guys!

What an extraordinary team you are.

You have also learnt a very important lesson.

On The Traitors, there is always a sting in the tail.

By banking that money,

it means that ten people are up for murder.

Will the following people please stand by their graves?

Rachel.

James.

Fiona.

Ross.

There is a lot going on in my head.

The Netty scenario has been coming up.

I think it's put a target on my back.

Adam.

Judy.

It's brutal, isn't it?

Reece.

Faraaz.

Maz.

And Netty.

Take a long look at those coffins in front of you.

Because one of you will be in it tonight.

The rest of you are shielded from murder.

Congratulations.

It was quite nice to see the squad of people up for murder.

I was doing my best to look around,

and there's something about Judy that makes me suspicious.

She's very confident, very calm.

Could she be the Secret Traitor?

It is time to go back to the castle.

This is the last time you will all be together.

There is no Round Table tonight,

so go and enjoy your evening. And congratulations.

-£10,000 added to the pot. Off you go. -Well done, guys.

So, as horrible as it was

to see everyone standing behind their gravestones,

to be honest, for me, the overriding feeling was relief

because I don't want to be on people's radar.

For us to get ten, I think was pretty good.

-Yeah. -I'm really impressed we got ten.

Guys, I think I'm going to go tonight.

When we lay out the people that were a bit more forthcoming last night,

I put a name out.

If I put myself in the Traitors' shoes now,

I might just go,

"Who would I kill to completely throw them off the scent?"

-Yeah. -Yes.

-Who placed my coffin? -We did.

-It was first there.

-I'm so sorry. -It's OK, it's OK.

I'm really, really looking forward to the first murder tonight,

but I'm a little bit apprehensive

who the Secret Traitor is going to put forward.

But the thought of murdering is to die for.

Does anyone think anything of anyone?

-Like, if you're happy to say. -Fiona. Fiona.

Capable. She falls into that bracket of

doesn't think she could do it, but absolutely could do it, for me.

-Yeah. -I'm not going to lie to you, Judy,

you're in that category, for me.

-What, I could...? What? -Be a Traitor.

I'm not saying you are, but I do think you're capable.

-But I think we could all do it. -Yeah.

What a day!

Going in for a shower.

-What a day. -Oh, my God.

Are you up for murder tonight?

Mm. -Yeah, me too.

-Are you?! -Yeah.

-And how do you feel about it?

You know what, Maz? I'm like, what will be will be.

Do you mind if I join you?

Yeah. -Come on, sit down.

-We're just laughing. -Well, let's make the most of it.

-Yeah.

-Yes, of course I am. -Oh, my God.

I was quite curious as to who had selected a coffin for me.

I've only been here 24 hours.

I can't have made an enemy in 24 hours.

That's impossible.

-It is what it is. -It is what it is.

-It is. -It's out of our hands.

-What will be will be, won't it? -Yeah.

-But you start overthinking it.

People are saying, "I haven't slept." I thought,

-"I slept like a baby, me." -And me.

So just remind me of the four that you put in, please.

The first two we did were you and Adam.

We'll all agree on this, that we just kind of were rushing

to put a coffin in, and sorry that we put it in yours.

-Yeah. -This evening was obviously very difficult

for those ten people whose names are on the list,

and you've got to feel for them.

But we don't know if one of them is the Secret Traitor.

It's supremely annoying and frustrating.

The whole point of being a Traitor is having perfect information.

And now there's somebody above us in the chain.

-Let's go get a drink. -Oh, yes.

Oooh. It says "Traitors Tipple."

-So it's up to you... -Or "Faithful Fancy."

-Cheers. -Cheers. Sorry, yes, that was rude of me.

-No, it's all good. -Definitely.

I'm going to drink this to try and get in the Traitors' mind.

Let's get some food.

-Come on, let's get something to eat. -Wait.

-Oh, OK. -So...

You're joking. He's not even on my radar whatsoever.

Judy. Apparently, everyone thinks Judy's a Traitor, apparently.

What?!

-I... -I have heard a few things,

but I didn't know it was that widespread.

Oh, my gosh.

James is running wild saying Judy is a Traitor.

I don't know if she's a Traitor or not.

Judy seems lovely,

but I'm bound to say that,

considering she's my mum.

Bloody hell. Well, my mind's scrambled.

Keeping it secret, just because I think

if you come in as a pair, it's almost like an alliance.

I feel super protective over her. And hearing anyone, like,

cast doubt on her for her actions is just generally not quite nice.

-Cheers, everyone. -Cheers, everyone.

-Cheers, guys.

OK, yeah.

I'm glad I've got you. We'll talk outside.

Roxy was nearly five when we adopted her,

and that was the best thing I ever did.

-I want to grab you both. -Oh, OK.

-What's happening?

-I want to grab both of you. -Let's go.

-I can't hear what you're saying,

-I'm deaf! -You've probably deafened yourself.

You're a very loud lady. If that's OK to say that.

-Excuse me?! -Sorry.

She's just an amazing person, inside and out.

Don't ever underestimate her because she's a very strong person as well.

-I've not heard your name. -Oh, yeah, but you all bloody heard mine.

-Yeah, Judy, I have heard... -I don't think it means anything.

I really don't think it means anything.

I'm not sure, because people are putting a lot of heat on you.

Well, I don't understand why, cuz I've not done anything.

I don't think for one second. I really don't.

I don't, I don't,

but I'm just saying...

I really don't. -Maybe, like...

Because I don't want you to go,

but you have to get around the group or do something.

Well, I'm telling you now,

people are just throwing people under the bus and I think,

"How can you tell over a couple of days?"

-I just wanted to let you guys know. -Yeah.

-Do with it what you will. -Thank you.

-Yeah. -Obviously, we'll keep this, you know...

-Yeah, yeah, yeah.

Keep it to ourselves, yeah.

-Just, if I do hear, I will let you know. -Yeah.

I've heard, obviously, that my name's been pushed around a lot.

I'm gutted, but I think at the moment

we've had a little talk and I think, me knowing Roxy,

she's trying to keep me in and give me a bit of advice.

She's going to protect me all the way.

-All right, let's go back and mingle. -Come on, then.

I'm loving this secret because nobody's got a clue.

I'm struggling so much.

Like, I'm really trying to just watch people.

-That is what you should do. -Yeah.

-That's what I'm doing.

-Yeah. -You know? And I don't have this,

you know, this weight of being a Traitor on my shoulders.

-Yeah. -So I'm, like... This is me.

I am super relaxed.

I am worried about Amanda.

She's very clever, very switched on.

I think she's suspicious.

I reckon I'm going to be murdered. If I'm a Traitor,

I'm going to murder people

that I think, "That's never going to get back to me."

It's been a pleasure. I'm going to say I WILL see you tomorrow.

-Bye. -Sleep well, darling. Cheerio.

-Take care. Bye.

The castle clock has chimed,

which means the Faithful must return to their individual lodgings.

But for our Traitors, they must meet under the cloak of darkness

and decide on their first kill.

But who will they have to choose from?

That is up to our Secret Traitor.

I've spoken to quite a lot of the other people in the castle,

and there's obvious people to keep in the game

that would benefit all of the Traitors.

So I'm just hoping the Secret Traitor is clued in

and is on the same kind of wavelength as us.

Hopefully they don't mess it up for us.

Well!

What a day.

So how did you get in a coffin?

They were an alphabetical order, so it was the easiest position.

-It's what I would have done. -Yeah.

-But I think it's good.

I think it's good for you as well.

Yeah. -How are you feeling in general

at the moment, with the vibe in the castle?

I haven't heard either of your names.

I haven't heard either of your names either.

-I think we're OK right now. -I think we're OK as well.

So who do we hope we can murder?

-Fiona? -She's very bright.

I think she's pretending to be a bit less...

Clued in.

-perceptive...

-Right. -Than she actually is.

-Right.

Well, why not Adam?

Adam's also quite a good choice as well.

-He's very straightforward. -Very straightforward.

And, with that, bright.

So he could be another threat to us in the long term.

Yeah.

It'll be very interesting to see who is on the list,

not just because it defines who we can take out,

but because it might give us a clue as to who is behind it.

-Come in. -Hello?

-Hi. -We have the pleasure.

-It is my pleasure. -Oh, thank you.

-So, Traitors, tonight is your first vote. -Oh!

-Very exciting. -I can't wait.

-After today's mission,

-there were ten names up for killing. -Mm-hm.

The Secret Traitor has whittled down that shortlist

and now you have only three names to choose from.

You will find those names

on the lectern, just behind you.

I feel like I've given you a gift because it wipes out three suspects

of who could be the Secret Traitor.

-That's true. -Mm.

-That's very true.

So, I always like to say this -

it makes me feel warm and fuzzy inside -

-happy murdering. -Oh!

-Thank you very much.

-Goodnight. -Goodnight.

-Goodnight.

-OK, who wants to do the honors? Rachel? -OK.

-Are you ready? -Drum roll.

"Dear Traitors,

"you must murder one of the following Faithful tonight.

"James...

"Netty...

"or Maz.

"Signed, the Secret Traitor."

Well, that's a bit of a curveball, isn't it?

-Oh, no. -That's diff... That's not helpful, is it?

We wouldn't have chosen that shortlist.

Where's their head at?

I personally wouldn't have put those three on the shortlist tonight.

It is slightly deflating to have someone else dictate

who we can and can't murder.

I've got a suspicion about the Secret Traitor,

and I think it could be Judy.

Oh.

I just have a feeling she could be the person behind all of this.

-I think she's one to watch. -She's definitely one to watch.

-Wouldn't Amanda be great? -I mean, she would be a great Traitor.

Mm-hm. A dangerous one.

If you're the Secret Traitor, you want to make our life difficult.

-Of course. -But do you?

Yes, because they want us to have the heat on us, not them.

I don't think they're working with us. I think they are thinking

solely about themselves right now.

Well, we've got to make the best of it.

Claudia inserted this middle management.

We cannot question Our Lady of Death.

I think the first killing tells a lot about the Traitors,

and that's probably the biggest fear,

is that I don't have control

over the narrative coming from the Secret Traitor.

I want that control back,

so I am going to do absolutely everything

in my power to hunt that Secret Traitor down.
