- The Traitors are in a tricky situation. - Holy shit!

Now the drama continues down in the crypt under the castle.

The battle between the Traitors and the Faithful has never been more even.

I am a Traitor.

A Traitor has been revealed, and they want to recruit.

Oh, Jesus Christ!

Down in the crypt, the dead are coming back to life again.

This is where the murdered and exiled get to speak out.

How does Amie feel after being betrayed by her own?

I am shaken to my core.

What analysis is Bosse doing of the game?

If you get shot at with a BB gun, then you pull out the bazooka.

How is Mikaela doing after being attacked by the whole group?

I suspect you.

That was tough. I am shocked at how it turned out.

And of course, we will reveal who the Traitors are.

A politician is as slippery as a fucking eel.

Welcome to "The Crypt."

"The Traitors" is in full swing, and we will hear from their first victim.

The police investigator Lena Ljungdahl.

- She is dangerous to us. - She must disappear.

I hope she sees it as a compliment that we are killing her.

I wanted to test how much of one's knowledge can be applied here.

But I can't do that.

Because they have killed me. They are too scared of me.

- Katia. - Lena.

- Welcome down to the crypt. - Thank you kindly.

- First, I want to ask how you are. - I am doing great.

- Did you have a feeling about this? - Yes, I did.

- I hadn't unpacked. - You hadn't?

Why did you have a feeling?

I said that no matter what I become, I will be hunted from two sides.

It felt quite a lot like that.

And if I had been a Traitor, I would have taken myself out.

I take that as a compliment.

It's really smart. They are smart. They are clearing me out quickly.

If you could turn back time, would you have acted differently?

- Would you have played differently? - It was such an incredibly short time.

I didn't even have time to play. I wanted to hide my background.

But others Googled me.

If you had been in a game and come up against me...

- ...I would have gotten really nervous. - Of course.

The classic cop paranoia can cause problems even in "The Traitors."

No, I don't know what I could have done differently.

I have worked for many years as a police officer, and conducted many interrogations.

Had many people in front of me who were guilty and innocent.

You can't tell by looking at people if they are lying.

If you know the person, then it's really easy.

There are many who say: "I can see that you are lying."

You get nervous if eight people are yelling at you. Everyone does.

We are Homo sapiens. We are social animals.

The second one to leave was the Traitor Amie.

I am a Traitor.

No other Traitor has been eliminated so quickly.

I love you, Maria.

- Maria Montazami's intuition was spot on. - I told you so.

I will be just as sure tomorrow.

No, Amie!

Hey! Here you are. In the grave!

- Katia! - Amie. Hi!

- Welcome. Please have a seat. - Thanks, Katia.

- How are you, Amie? - I am shaken to the core.

I just experienced a round table that was crazy.

- Oh my god. What have I missed? - You missed a witch hunt.

- And I was the witch. - What happened to the atmosphere?

It was like preschool when I was there.

That preschool has transformed, let me tell you.

We will get into all of that in just a moment.

But before that comes the important question.

Faithful or Traitor. What do we think about Amie?

She hasn't been under my microscope. I say Faithful.

But I am really curious about what has happened.

You could have messed up too.

- Are you Faithful or a Traitor? - Well, I am a Traitor.

- What happened today? - I'm so sorry. We killed you.

- I would probably say Lena. - Our first victim.

It's interesting why you are really sitting here.

It's because it turned into a bit of a witch hunt by Maria Montazami.

She considers herself to be psychic.

She really went hard on you at the round table?

When we took off the blindfold for the first time-

- she said this:

I have already seen one.

From that second, she apparently knew that I was a Traitor.

- Did you do anything? - I don't know.

- Are you psychic? - No. Maybe sometimes.

- Is she a crystal person? - She is psychic.

And she can also see ghosts. So she is on the spectrum!

But it's really hard to know what I did when I took it off.

- Maybe I looked really weird. - Super creepy.

I don't think so. You handled it very well.

- 100% sure it's you. - What?!

It's very interesting. I am Faithful.

It's possible that I have been a bit "low key."

But in my normal life, I am very calm.

I know you are trying to confuse and explain yourself away...

- ...that you are a calm person. - No.

You don't dare to stand your ground. You are afraid of messing up.

My defense speech was not good enough.

God, I might have been able to turn that around.

My experience is that whatever you do in that moment is suspicious.

- What would you have done? - I would have defended myself stronger.

Yeah?

Lena and I have talked a bit about what it's like to have a group against you.

You got to feel that tonight.

I was 100% stabbed in the back.

Amie.

By a person I would protect by any means.

This person killed me.

It was someone you trusted. That can really complicate things.

And when you get something like that, many walls come crashing down.

- You become incredibly vulnerable. - Yeah, exactly.

You're like in two places at once, because you're looking at this from the outside.

I understand you, but at the same time, I was really surprised.

Isa was in the jail cell.

She had to choose whether she wanted to be a Traitor or Faithful.

She voted for Amie. Already at the first round table.

- How did that feel? - Hard.

When she started to justify, I didn't think she would vote for me.

- You looked shocked. - I think you're a Traitor.

Isa and I debated who we would vote for together during the day.

How do we do this in the best way, and so on.

So we had a little plan.

I didn't think Isa would throw me under the bus right away.

We could sit here all night, but thank you for your time.

- Bosse became their second victim. - I was actually really happy.

- Mikaela is trying to understand. - It was tough.

- And then we reveal the Traitors. - So messed up.

Bosse became the second cop in a row to be murdered by the Traitors.

Down in my crypt, we will solve his own murder.

It's smartest to remove Bosse.

No one suspects that he is a Traitor.

- Bosse has to go. - "You are murdered by the Traitors."

Two cops in a row have been taken out. There must be some ulterior motive.

- Welcome, Bosse. - Thank you, Katia.

Welcome down to the crypt where I hang out with the dead.

- Are you disappointed? - No, absolutely not.

I had no expectations whatsoever.

It was a game, and a fun break in retirement life.

The whole game is about someone being the winner in the end.

- You know that. - Yeah.

Do you know what I have? I have a secret.

I have the reason why you are murdered.

You received a letter from the Traitors that I want you to read aloud.

"Bosse, the group's murder investigator."

"We were worried that you were onto us."

"We wanted to divert all focus away from us. The Traitors."

That was sweetly written. It makes me happy.

So there was no idiot in the head. Really sweet. I was really happy.

Did you think your background would put you in that position so early?

When Lena got cut, I realized that they would pick me off.

And I didn't mind. Game on. Come on. Where are you?

- The ones who murdered you are women. - Yeah? Okay.

Here are pictures of all the women who are still in the game so far.

At least two of these have been involved in your murder.

- I can eliminate her right away. - Kaeli is not a murderer?

Maria is not in either. She is definitely not in.

I hope Sara is not in. I hope Emma is not in.

I drove with Mikaela.

Is that Isa? Highly unreliable as hell.

No, Isa is not in. There you have the two.

Eleonore and Mikaela have been involved in murdering you? Tell me a bit why.

These are the people I had a relationship with during this short time.

- I have one more thing to tell you. - Am I right or wrong?

I also killed people I liked in this game.

- Your theory might not be correct. - Oh really?

- It's smartest to kick Bosse. - Bosse has to go.

What was your strategy in the game?

To be myself, not a herd animal.

The first 24 hours in this game are just wild guesses.

It's really a probability game.

You have four Traitors there and 20 participants. So that's 20%-

-of the total population. If there are only three? Then it's 15%.

Instead of: "What happens now?" "Who talks to whom?" And so on.

You are a Traitor.

As a police officer, you made observations that are important for the game?

Amie, who was a Traitor. We had this mingling.

She says: "Have you made up your mind?" No, not quite yet. I'm thinking.

But you, have you made up your mind? Then she immediately changes the subject.

Hello there, then.

But speaking of that. It was Maria who was pushing that train.

She was right. Would you have hired Maria as a police officer?

No, she has the wrong qualities. She is psychic and believes in ghosts.

- And I don't. - Okay!

For some damn reason, I see it right away.

- Where is the group headed now? - Now, they have stripped down the layers.

They have removed what is most irritating.

Now there will be a lot of internal conflicts-

- where people will team up, and we will see camps.

Farao has a damn black belt in doing that.

Cheers to the Traitors!

You've been a naughty girl. You've been on it all along!

- Are you crying? - The others must not see.

It has been a round table tonight, and someone has been exiled.

Who do you think will come?

I have no idea, but I know some people I don't want to see here.

- And that would be? - Björn, Momo, Victor, Samir...

But if there was one person you had to name?

Mikaela.

What the fuck, Mikaela.

- Hey, Bosse. - Hey, girl.

- Great to see you. - Really.

- And that you’re actually alive. - But what the fuck are you doing here?

Hi. Welcome down to the crypt.

- Please, have a seat. - Thanks.

- Absolutely incredible. - A lot has happened at the castle today.

- I know it's you. - She is completely sure.

Mikaela is definitely a Traitor.

- Are you thinking that I’m Faithful? - No, you’re a Traitor.

I feel shaky, but I’m fine.

But it was tough.

I’m shocked at how it turned out. I need to process this.

Here comes the most important question. Are you Faithful or a Traitor?

I’m Faithful. 100%.

A lot has happened, and I have my questions.

Bosse has questions too. I’ll let you talk for a while.

- We can do that. - See you soon.

Maria was already going after me yesterday.

Don’t say that when there’s a Traitor here.

I just have to think of a way to try to get out of this.

But I still thought that people were onto others.

They were a bit suspicious of Maria. But everyone was bullshitting me, seriously.

How do you explain Maria’s attitude towards you?

When we take off our blindfolds, we’ll be sitting across from each other.

I think she’s a Traitor, and I’ve seen her now.

I’m a threat.

I was scared of her already then. I felt it was a problem.

Then she started going after Amie. I hadn’t planned to vote for her.

I had some suspicions. Then she confronted me.

- Mikaela, tomorrow she’s out. - No.

I was just like: "What?" I lost it. I thought like this:

"She’s a Traitor with Amie. She’s throwing Amie under the bus."

- To gain everyone’s trust. - Yeah, exactly.

I’ve been sitting and listening a bit to your conversation.

You could say that you were very affected.

I understood that this was going to be really tough.

You’re strong, Mikaela.

But it got a lot harder than I thought.

You needed an ice-cold psyche.

It was like being back in middle school on the playground.

- Don’t forget that it’s a game, for fuck’s sake. - It’s a game.

I feel for you. You deserve better.

They go to bed with such a damn bad conscience.

"How the hell could I do that?" I hope they sleep like shit.

She’s probably really sad. Sorry.

What was very interesting about this round table was-

- that so many voted for you.

- It was probably a record. - I think so.

- Mikaela. - Mikaela.

- You are a Traitor. - Mikaela.

- I’ve always had you. - Sorry, Mikaela.

You lie poorly.

Mikaela has received 14 votes.

People go along with the crowd, instead of forming their own opinions.

Weak fucking rubber spines that just follow the crowd.

- I don’t like herd behavior. - It was easy for some.

But I was fascinated by how strongly many justified it.

- But what did they say, then? - Well, they were so sure.

Among other things, people thought you didn’t defend yourself.

- No one buys your defense. - Your answers are vague.

This thing about defending yourself when you’re falsely accused.

- Exactly. It’s completely awful. - Did you prepare a defense speech?

No, but I had a strategy for how I would take it back.

But yesterday, I felt like it was over.

I want to ask you something, Bosse. When you’re falsely accused.

- Why do you lose it a bit? - There are two strategies.

Counterattack with everything you have.

If you’re shot at with a BB gun, then you bring out the bazooka.

Or you say: "You’re just stupid in the head."

So you go on the verbal offensive.

You ramble a lot.

How will this affect you? Will you carry it with you?

Yes, unfortunately! I feel that now. But it’s just a game.

But I’m still fascinated by what boundaries people cross.

How coldly people lied and betrayed you.

I can’t handle it. I’m Faithful.

You know what? It’s time to reveal the Traitors.

Shall we start by looking at the first Traitor?

- Yes. - Mikaela, you were onto Sara.

I knew it.

She was on me right away. I was a threat.

I’m a bit surprised. She came to me to form an alliance.

- How does that feel? - Terrible. I’m not surprised.

She got kicked out of the European Parliament.

But did you want to ally with her? No, thanks? That’s why you’re dead.

Yeah, but I got a nice letter, so I’m over it now.

A politician is slippery as a fucking eel.

Then we can take a look at who the next Traitor is.

You. She was in the jail cell. But what happened there?

She got to choose whether she wanted to be a Traitor or Faithful.

She has behaved strangely and evasively.

But I thought she was like that. Funny that I attacked her.

- Why are you Faithful, then? - I am Faithful.

I just need to gain confidence. I need to build myself up now.

Come on. You’re only winning Pyrrhic victories right now.

Now you know who the Traitors are. There are only two left.

- So there are no guys? - It was a bit "Gago's Angels" this year.

That was a smart move.

- Who will go the farthest in the game? - Björn.

- Mikaela, who do you think? - Now, I hope it’s Emma.

But I think she’s done for too, and then I think Kaeli.

Thanks for coming down to the crypt.

I hope the shock wears off, and that the letter gets put up on the wall.

It has been an unpredictable game, and a lot of emotions.

In the next episode, we’ll see if the Traitors strengthen their position.

Or if the Faithfuls are breathing down their necks.

What do I have to gain from this?

If you could give advice to someone facing a recruitment?

Take it. It’s a lot of fun.

What should I do now?
