The Traitors are fighting to keep their power.

Then we have a death list.

Many have had to taste the bitter aftertaste of betrayal.

And yet another Faithful one has fallen victim.

But in the tomb, the fallen get to make their voices heard one last time.

She was almost out! If I had voted, she would have...

How does Jonas feel after being voted out at the round table?

I've never been this nervous.

Nadim Ghazale from last season-

-talks about how to think when you get recruited.

It's fucking fun to play both roles.

And of course, we reveal the big secret.

-Who the Traitors are. -I told you so!

Welcome to 'The Tomb.'

Jonas Fagerström, the third member of the YouTube trio JLC-

-was expelled at tonight's round table.

He lasted longer than his colleagues-

-but the fall was still hard.

It's stressful to be here, but I really didn't think it would be.

Calle and Lucas have said that it's stressful.

The mental game of always having to play, and defend yourself.

You say that I said you should vote for Maria.

-You didn't say I should. -Well, that's wrong.

It can't go on forever.

Welcome to the tomb, Jonas Fagerström. Here you go.

But hey, I have to start by saying one thing. Congratulations!

Yes, that's milestone one.

But I saw on the wall. It's not long after that I came.

But longer. That's the most important thing.

Lucas, unfortunately, you have to leave the game.

-Carl, you got the most votes. -This isn't true.

It's like a copy of Lucas. Oh, what a fiasco.

So now you can go home and tell Lucas and Carl: 'I won.'

We've talked about this, of course. They've given me tips and everything.

What tips? Don't be nervous?

Yeah, I took that with a grain of salt. They're not the best at this game.

-Well, we can... -Everyone agrees on that.

Or maybe they were just 'cursed.' They sat in that chair.

I kept as far away from it as possible, on the other side of the table.

I saw how you looked at it. 'No, I'm not sitting there.'

Anders ended up on it. I thought: 'He's out.'

You never know what you'll become before you go to the castle.

They thought I became a Traitor.

Before the show, it felt cool. I'm so glad I didn't become one.

I can look people in the eye and say something truthfully.

But if I have to lie about it? It shows, you know.

I would have been like: 'I promise.' Without being able to maintain eye contact.

So I'm glad I went out as Faithful anyway.

How does it feel? What thoughts do you have in your head?

I think you could see it. I couldn't find the words.

-No, I noticed that. -It didn't come.

The tears were there. Maybe because I had to go home.

But there were so many emotions. I saw that Kaeli was a bit touched.

Farao was touched too. There were a lot of feelings.

I didn't recognize myself, to be honest.

I regret not taking a breath before I spoke.

Just to calm myself down. I could hear myself.

-'I am Faithful!' -I know. I actually thought about that.

You were very touched and affected.

I probably had a higher pulse there than when I'm out running.

You know, it was doing my head in. My whole body was pulsing.

I've never been so nervous in my entire life.

And it's a game. Then, you realize how deep into this bubble you get.

You know what? Those who come... You know, the ones who end up in the final.

I'm worried about their health. They need to talk to someone at home.

-They have to! -I know.

They won't survive.

I remember when you made your reaction video. You were just like,

'She's exaggerating. She's not really crying.'

You do the same at the roundtable every time.

But no, it was real. It was real. Honestly.

Those feelings. I wasn't prepared. I usually steel myself quite a lot.

But there, I wasn't ready for that.

I've discovered new sides of myself.

I'm bursting with emotions inside.

When I left, I wanted to cry, and then I got angry and confused.

Yeah, it's so strange, honestly.

What do you think made it so that you ended up in the crosshairs?

For several of the arguments, there was no basis for them.

It's just a feeling.

But it was probably because Martin said that I told him to vote for Maria.

I obviously argued against that.

-You did that very well. -I have to win people's trust.

But that's where it all started.

How do you feel? Whose vote hurt the most?

The one that hurt the most was that I was thinking of voting for Isa.

I saw people discussing. 'Damn, maybe there's a...'

And if I had voted for Isa, it would have been 6-6.

-Voting. -Yeah.

I might have gone out anyway, but I would have had another chance.

But the one that hurt the most was probably Kaeli.

-Why? -I really like her.

I absolutely couldn't trust her, but I like her as a person.

I'm definitely not disappointed. You can't trust anyone in there.

I'm probably sad. I wanted to go further.

I didn't expect to win, but we had so much damn fun.

I just want to be in there and be around everyone.

We joked a lot. I had a blast. I'm just sad it's over.

I think this fun part...

I've also thought about how it makes you take it so hard.

It's a rollercoaster of emotions.

One second you're a team, then you're enemies.

Then you sit there blaming each other.

And we're not talking about days, but it's minutes in between.

That's what I'm most surprised about. I mean, Maria is going hard.

She said: "Yeah. Martin is going to be out."

Then she came to me: "Unfortunately, it's you, Jonas."

But you said... We talked a minute ago.

After I talked with her yesterday. Like: "I'm Faithful, Maria."

"That's how a Faithful person should talk."

And seriously, 30 minutes later she was talking to Samir. No way!

She's really good at getting people on her side.

When I have her against me, I have everyone against me.

Jonas, I have pictures here of your former teammates.

I'm going to give this to you. Who do you think will go the farthest, and why?

Where do we have you? Here.

-You think Kaeli will go the farthest? -She's good at arguing.

But she's also part of the group, and she says what she thinks.

That's important. You have to be part of the group.

-So Kaeli? -I think Kaeli.

I hope she stands with Farao.

But there's a risk that he talks too much sometimes.

People think it's a cover.

But we've come to a point in the game where even Farao starts...

I don't know. I don't buy it though.

No, but he cried for real today. He thought it was tough.

-You don't buy it when people cry on TV. -Yeah, but not when they cry like you do.

No way!

But Jonas, you're sitting here because the Traitors have done a good job.

I thought I would tell you who they are.

Oh! I'm more nervous now than at the round table, seriously.

Oh! Ugh! I don't want to know this.

After the break, we'll reveal the Traitors.

And Nadim from season 2 will give us his best tips -

on how to switch to "backstabbing" murderers.

But Jonas, you're sitting here because the Traitors have done a good job.

The Faithfuls have done a less good job.

Who do you think the Traitors are?

Yes, it's just a gut feeling. Bam! I don't think Martin is a Traitor.

You thought so at the round table.

No, but I had to play that game.

I knew some would vote for him.

I wanted to get them on my side too. That was my best chance.

Anders, then.

Our dear, angry Anders.

-I think he's a Traitor. -Why?

He acted differently after we took off our masks for the first time.

-In what way? -He was a bit shifty with his eyes.

And he's been very withdrawn.

Do what everyone says. Hope he won't be noticed.

So Anders, and then I think it could be Isa too.

-It's those two? -Wait a minute. Could there be more, maybe?

Someone got recruited.

-Is that so? -Otherwise, someone would have been murdered.

-Is that so? -Of course.

If they hadn't gone after someone with a shield.

Well... What a jerk.

Anders and Isa.

Then those two recruited Maria.

I was thinking, Jonas, that I should tell you who they are.

You can't say Farao and Kaeli. Then I'm done with this.

No, you can't just do that. You can't.

Shall we look at the first Traitor?

Oh! I'm more nervous now than at the round table.

-Are you ready? -Yes. Oh! Yuck! I don't want to know.

-Yes, you do. -Okay, go ahead. Then it's Farao.

Oh, I said that.

I said that.

I knew it! She was close to getting kicked out.

If I had voted, she would have...

-How does it feel? -I knew it!

-It was so close! -Fuck!

Please, can I go up again? Let's forget this happened.

-I'm going to call Gago. -Yeah, do that.

Check with him. He's cool. Oh!

Isa!

Okay, Isa. Next is Anders, then.

-Do you want to see? Are you ready? -Mm. Is it...

Anders. I said that!

Man, he's so bad. Oh! I said that. How crazy.

-Do you understand how disappointed I am? -Yeah, I can imagine.

A moment ago you were sad, but now comes the disappointment.

Was there anyone today who attacked you a bit extra?

Yeah, it was Anders.

-Just him? -No, but it wasn't... No.

Have they recruited Kaeli, then?

Shall we find out who the last one is? Then let's check.

Because Maria is too obvious. She's too much in the line of fire.

Well, yeah. They recruited her last night.

-You're wrong. -I'm wrong?

-Who did they recruit? -Anders.

Was it so?

You know what? What's kind of doomed is that those guys aren’t going to win.

They won't. Anders? I mean, he's going to get kicked out.

If you say something to him: "Me? Did I do that?"

-What do you mean by that? -You're working against this.

Aboslutely not. Then you've completely misunderstood.

And then he immediately reacts... No, that will never work.

-And Isa... -Who voted for Amie on the first day.

Did Isa do that? Yeah.

Do you want to know another secret? She got to choose in the dungeon.

If she wanted to be a Traitor or Faithful.

-Is that so? -You sent her down indirectly.

Oh, damn!

New game plan. I'm going up now.

-What? -Yeah, if you can sneak up.

No! Oh my god. Katia!

Yeah. But you, Jonas? You can't sneak up to the castle.

These are the secrets you have to carry with you.

I start thinking right away: Carrier pigeon?

No, thanks. You can't do that.

-Thanks for coming. -Thanks.

I hope the disappointment, anger, and sorrow settle down.

Maybe in a year. This takes a while.

-I'm in the bubble now. -I've said that.

The Traitors have strengthened the team.

It's not easy to switch from Faithful to Traitor.

Nadim Ghazale, who was with us last season, knows how it is.

The nice and reliable cop who won many people's trust-

-but found it hard to lie.

Even though it's a game, it feels real.

Welcome to the tomb, Nadim Ghazale.

-Hi! How are you? -I'm doing great.

-How are you? -Just fine, thanks.

It's been about a year since you were with us.

How has it settled with you?

It's settled very well. It went as I wanted.

And it was as fun as I thought it would be.

What has happened since has just been a blast.

It's been a fun memory to have been a part of.

You're one of the few who got the chance to play both roles.

When you went in as Faithful, were you disappointed or relieved?

I went in with the mindset that I really wanted to be a Traitor.

I wanted to play the role well.

But once I met everyone and mingled beforehand-

-I felt at the round table that it's tough to be a Traitor.

Then I felt when I wasn't one that it was nice.

It was actually nice. You don't have to start by lying.

Then I wanted to try the Traitor role.

It was a jackpot for me.

You got a chance to go from Faithful to Traitor.

Was it obvious to say yes, and what were your thoughts?

No, it wasn't obvious.

Here's the thing: Personally, I really wanted to try both roles.

I wanted to try the role of a Traitor. In that sense, I wanted it.

But based on my chances of winning-

-I felt that we Faithfuls had a very good position.

We had a good group, a good team. But there were some unstable elements.

Which made it impossible to trust each other in that way.

All I'm telling you is that if I get eliminated, it's because of you.

Then I had to be selfish, and think about my own game.

Having information in advance is an advantage, and Traitors have more of it.

Plus, it gave me the chance to play both roles.

I hesitated for a second, but...

Yeah, I'll take it.

If you could give advice to someone facing a recruitment?

Well, go for it. It's a lot of fun.

If you think about it as a game and we're here to have a blast-

-then it's really fun to play both roles.

What was the hardest part about being Faithful, versus being a Traitor?

Being Faithful was hard to actually win-

-the trust of those I wanted to gain trust from.

I mean, those who I felt: 'Listen, we're on the same team here.'

There was always a suspicion, which comes with the course of the game.

I found that more difficult than sitting as a Traitor and pretending.

You know you're talking shit.

Then it feels a bit better to get caught.

Than to get caught when you're not talking shit. That hurts more.

Nadim, I've said it all along.

After the recruitment night, you've really calmed down a lot.

You don't want to expose the Traitors.

Many sense something about me-

-but they have nothing to point at, because I've been consistent.

That's the advantage of starting as Faithful.

You were on the chopping block so many times.

It was like all the Faithfuls were aiming for you-

-but then just went: 'No, we'll go for that one instead.'

It was so fun to watch. They failed time and again.

And you just sat there like: 'Yes! I survived another day.'

I understand that I might have been a threat.

But I had a lot of things that worked in my favor in my game.

I took chances in certain things that gave me a trust capital.

-I have to be a little proud anyway. -Yeah. Would you have done anything differently?

No. We reached our goal.

Why should I change anything? We won.

The tough part was that towards the end, it was actually hard to lie.

-It was tough to sit with someone... -You like?

I like these people. Many of them are friends.

Just sitting and playing a game.

It took a toll on me. It took more of a toll on me than I thought.

You built up a relationship. I'm betraying a friend.

No, it's a game. Thomas was very good at that.

He kept coming back to it: 'This is a game.'

'People lose perspective. It's just play.' It was nice to have that reminder.

-Do you see people differently? -No, people are just as they are.

Fake, selfish, cynical, kind, empathetic sometimes.

People are what they are. It comes out in this game.

But both you and I have stood as winners of this game.

Who would have played the game best, if we were in the same season?

You and I? It depends on who is in, and your roles.

You played really well. I was really impressed.

-I hope not. -No, I'm not!

I also think I played well. I just had a bit more luck.

You played better. I had a bit more good fortune.

Humbly. But in a real game among winners in a few years...

I'm going to go straight in!

-I'm going to give you a match. -We'll see. Thanks, Nadim.

Whether Anders can play as well as Nadim remains to be seen.

Who will be sitting here with me in the tomb chamber? Find out in the next episode.
