Original subtitles

Desperation spreads like a poison up in the castle.

-I know who the other one is too. -But what the hell!

-You want to kill Martin? -Because he suspects both of us.

But you have to hunt, without becoming the prey yourself.

Now there's only one Traitor left.

She has manipulated me.

How does Martin feel after the outburst against Anders?

He knew he was done for today anyway.

Why does Anders regret it?

I would have given anything to stay Faithful.

And we foresee ahead for the last Traitor.

-I think Sara will take it. -She won't bring it home.

My friend here and I say welcome to "The Crypt."

World poker champion Martin was perhaps the most dangerous player.

-He called both Isa and Anders. -You are definitely a Traitor.

With calm and analytical ability, he was right on the heels of the Traitors.

But he couldn't get the group on his side.

We can really only kill Martin.

"Martin, you have been murdered by the Traitors."

It stings to be out so close to the final, and when I'm sure about the Traitors.

I would have loved to sit at the table when they say they are Traitors.

-Hi. -Hi.

-How are you? -I'm good.

I'm extremely exhausted. It's starting to hit me now.

All this adrenaline that I've been living on is fading.

Now it's finally over. Yes, now the recovery begins.

Are you curious about why you were murdered?

-Or do you know why? -I think I know.

Why's that?

Because I went so hard against Anders, and I think he's the Traitor.

I think he knew he was done for today anyway.

Because if he kills me, everyone will suspect him.

If he doesn't kill me, I'll push until he's out.

You know what? I have a secret.

-What is it? -About why you were murdered.

A letter from the Traitors that you will read aloud.

"Dear Martin, Your poker face doesn't fool us."

"We know you were onto us."

-Okay. -How do you interpret that?

I exposed Anders out of nowhere, and he was very shocked that-

-I thought I knew it had been him for so long.

He said: "Why didn't you say anything?"

Martin, if you suspected me from the first breakfast-

-why did you never vote for me or share that?

That's exactly what Isa said too.

It's quite funny to me. It's not an optimal strategy.

When you figure out the Traitors to shout who they are.

-Unless you're Maria Montazami. -I know who the Traitors are.

Everyone has their own strategies, but that wasn't my strategy.

It's probably my mistake that I said I knew who the other one was.

-Who is the other one then? -Okay. It's not Farao.

I know you say that, but it totally mindfucks me.

But that was a bit of my persuasion strategy, I think.

To reason with the others and get them to understand that I was so sure.

That's why I chose those words, and they decided to kill me.

You know what? Let's go back to the first day.

-Hi, hi. -Hi, hi. Yänjaa.

-Hi. Yänjaa. -Farao.

-I'm a professional poker player. -Holy shit, that's awesome!

You are to collectively choose the player in the group-

-that you consider to be the sharpest.

You get pointed out right away as the sharpest player in the game.

We'll take the poker player.

-How did it feel? -Fun, above all.

But also a lot of pressure. Now I know what the group thinks of me.

And I realized before I even got to the castle-

-that the Faithfuls would suspect me-

-because they assume that I'm good at lying.

And the Traitors would be afraid that I can see when people lie.

-Are you good at lying? -Yeah, I think so. I don't know.

Now, I didn't get to try that. I don't lie much in everyday life.

But being good at lying is not a positive trait.

And if you find it easy to lie, then maybe it's...

-Then you have a bit of psychopathic tendencies. -Thanks!

-No offense. -None taken. I'm not a psychopath.

That Isa was bad at lying-

-is a compliment to her personality.

I vote for the one who has the worst poker face here.

-And that's Isa. -Oh.

You were very laid-back for a long time.

And then in the latest episode, you went in and really went for it.

What flipped for you there?

I went in hard too when I and Jonas were in a duel.

But it's you who has been going around saying that people should vote for me.

Yeah, because you lie. You said:

"Let's go with Maria. Let's go with Maria." That was exactly what you said.

But then it was a defense mechanism, more than you were being strategically hard-

-and telling what you had thought and what you had observed.

Exactly. That was a bit of my strategy. To observe in the beginning.

It's more important to listen and take in all the impressions-

-and gather the information so that you can make your decisions.

Who’s next on your suspicion list?

Victor.

-Why do you think it’s Victor? -I think it’s Victor...

...because the day after the recruitment, he came up and started talking.

I noticed that he was scrutinizing me. He said: "You’re a strong piece."

That was after I had gone "head to head" against Jonas.

And then pointed out Isa as a Traitor.

And in this conversation, he pointed out twice...

He almost joked about: "If I were a Traitor..."

And then he corrected himself: "But I am Faithful."

I wish I were a Traitor. But I am no Traitor.

Anders has done that too.

There are no others in the castle who point out that they are Faithful.

That’s something the Traitors do to convey that they are Faithful.

So that they can believe it themselves, and you should believe it too.

-Is "The Traitors" harder than poker? -No, I actually don’t think so.

I don’t feel as comfortable playing this game.

But... Yes, it’s completely different strategies.

Even though there are a lot of similar traits.

Martin, who do you think will be banished and sit next to you tonight?

I firmly believe it’s Anders. Anything else would surprise me.

You know what? We’re going to find out.

The banished one, welcome down to the crypt.

-Traitor! -You’ll see. Have a little patience.

Hey there!

-How’s it going? -It’s good. Hi.

-Welcome, Anders. -Thanks.

-How are you? -I’m good. I... Yeah.

We’ll talk a lot more, but first I’ll ask you.

Is Anders Faithful or a Traitor?

I think Anders is a Traitor, or has been one in the game.

I really hope so, otherwise it’s going to get uncomfortable soon.

Then we’ll see. Anders, are you Faithful or are you a Traitor?

I am...

After the break: How worried was Martin about going after Anders?

-You get to see the real Anders. -And why does Anders lose it?

Sit still and shut up!

Martin pointed out Anders as a Traitor, and now they meet face to face.

Anders, are you Faithful or are you a Traitor?

I am...

I can only tell you. I am Faithful.

As long as we Faithfuls play into their hands...

Samir, I am Faithful.

As a Faithful person, I think like this: "Who would they take?"

I am still Faithful.

I am Faithful. For real.

I am Faithful.

-Yeah, I know. -Does that mean anything to you?

You’ve said it a lot of times. You’re one of the few who says it.

-I am a Traitor. -Yes!

Now I can breathe again.

-What a relief it feels. -Now you can relax.

Then we can all chill and be friends.

-But it’s "no hard feelings" anyway. -Okay, what a relief.

Was Anders a Traitor all along?

-Yes. -Anders, were you?

I’m sorry. Now I’m spoiling your career. No.

Oh, my God! Shit.

That’s why it was also very, very strange-

-That you say you knew it from the first breakfast.

I've had such strong intuitions from the very beginning.

That it was you and Isa.

Then I lost it for you.

Now I can say that I've lost a bit of trust in you.

-Like the little mastermind guy. -Okay, okay.

And now I want to hear about this amazing person Martin-

-who is a strategist, but still comes in like Maria Montazami and just:

"I know!" Oh, come on. You know? You feel. You think.

-But 100% know, Martin? -No.

Super strange. You don't know what the other player has in their hand.

-Not 100%. -No.

I shouldn't have used that wording.

And then you wouldn't know who the other was either.

As I said, you gain trust when you point out a Traitor.

Then you get the group on your side.

But the trust is very short-lived.

-You can see that with Maria. -If we take the first two days.

It's like a damn ice cream cone. Everyone is like a weather vane.

"Oh! Well, wow. Oh." I mean...

That's why I felt it was the right time.

I didn't give you reasons to keep me in the game.

If I don't get a Traitor out tonight...

You got that when you got murdered.

I mean the trust.

-I got the trust? Yes, exactly. -You won the trust of the others.

One really interesting thing was that you were quite upset there at the end.

You left the group with a lecture about looking someone in the eye.

Not daring to meet a gaze from me today-

-from very many, I think is cowardly.

What I wanted to say before I left was to be a bit upright.

Meet a gaze, even though you have made a decision.

It gives a bit of that elementary school feeling.

That we can't really be upright in our decision.

And not even like, meet a gaze.

Because everyone is so damn scared to meet a gaze.

But if everyone meets a gaze, then you can't read into it.

But when not everyone dares to do it-

-then a gaze can be enough: "I know who it is."

You were recruited to be a Traitor.

"You are hereby invited to become a Traitor."

Now in hindsight, do you regret it? You do? Why?

Because I'm not made to be a Traitor.

It's mentally taxing, no matter what role you have.

For me, it's... We're all different. I've tried both.

I would have given anything to stay as Faithful.

It's so damn much easier.

But you still said yes.

That's where Anders Öfvergård stepped in 20 years ago.

I'll take it.

I'm going to the Traitors.

Who has never said no. I just: "Jump in. Now we're doing this."

"Don't think about what it is."

Should I... Now I'm super honest. I'm the host.

I have a need to be seen.

And I was also disappointed about-

-how the hell Gago couldn't take me as a Traitor.

Because I want to be chosen.

I was both flattered that they wanted me.

They must have discussed who would be the best to take.

The other thing is that since I still wanted to be a Traitor-

-I felt I had the opportunity to test both sides.

How did you feel when you got in there, and people had a preconceived notion?

You know it will be used against you.

Hey! Is it the angry carpenter?

-Yeah, or Anders. -Okay. Hi, hi. I'm Emma.

Did you factor that into your strategy?

I would say it was probably an advantage for me because...

Of course, when I've done TV shows, I step into a role.

I think people are a bit surprised that I'm actually quite nice.

You're not angry all the time?

No. I would say that's more to my advantage.

Okay.

I don't know what you're saying. You were there.

I was really worried yesterday about how Anders would react.

Now, maybe we’ll see the real Anders turn the round table.

-Were you really scared? -A little, actually.

-Are you disappointed? -Yeah, I expected better TV.

So it's better TV when Anders messes up?

There was a time when Samir did something.

Oh, but there are two super lovely people sitting there.

And I'm sitting in between.

-Do you love me? -Yes.

-More than anything else? -Yes.

-But, hey. -You need to sit somewhere else.

-They can't shut up for once. -I love you, Maria.

-Maria, Maria... -No, Samir. Don't start now!

This isn't some damn daycare. Sit still and shut up.

-Oh. Why are you angry? -They're throwing things around.

-I get hit in the head. -Was it like that?

And nodding it down under the table.

Then I felt: "Now, you damn fools. You better calm down."

-That's what happened. -Okay, okay. Got it. Martin?

Now, it's time to find out who the other Traitor or Traitors are.

No!

Wow! Okay.

Wow. Okay. I'm actually surprised. Oh shit, how impressive.

-Are you kidding me? -What?

-Did you think it was obvious? -This is so damn funny.

Everyone was so touchingly in agreement the first day.

A politician can't be trusted.

And I'm so damn surprised that how it can just be like: "Pföff!"

Is it because we've been fascinated by Maria-

-who just throws things out?

-There are four of them. -We don't know that.

-There were five at the beginning. -How do you know that?

-I know! -How?

You're driving yourself crazy when you say you know.

"I know who the two are. I know there are five of them."

Yeah, Maria has pointed out quite a few.

She's kind of shot... I don't want to hunt moose with her.

She shoots in all directions.

But seriously, who did you think it was?

-Who was the Traitor. -Victor.

-Victor? -Yeah, I was completely convinced.

No.

I didn't even do that when I was Faithful.

I thought he had been recruited.

And that you had been a Traitor from the start.

This is a damn mindfuck.

You read too much into details. Just see what's right in front of you.

Like you did with the tarot card. Sometimes, it's just what you see.

We're trying to be smarter than we need to be.

Then I turn to you. I have questions about Sara.

Sara is the one who really pushes for Martin to be killed.

-You want us to kill Martin? -To protect you. And me.

He's the best at reading us. He suspects both of us.

Do you feel in hindsight that she was playing her own game?

Or was it because you were done for?

I...

...didn't recognize myself when Sara wanted to kill you.

I had a completely different thought. My thought was Henrik.

Because he read this letter.

-I got a letter yesterday. -Oh?

Where I got a request to switch to the Traitors' side.

-Oh, shit! -Henrik!

I don't know why I'm going against Sara.

Then we have it. We kill Martin.

-I have no idea. -Politician.

Possible. But at the same time, she has a point.

If you have the tiger after you, named Martin-

-then you've shown with Isa that you don't give up.

But I also understand that she has manipulated me.

-Good. -I fooled you.

-Or? -You're a politician, after all.

But I think it's a bit strange of her anyway.

Because there are so many of us left in the game.

I mean, now that I'm leaving, there are eight of us left.

That's seven Faithful and one Traitor.

So if Sara takes this, then I can say this.

I took my hat off to you when I saw the first series.

-But she's probably going to take you! -We'll see.

I mean, one against seven isn't easy.

I have a deck of cards with pictures of everyone who's left.

You guys will point out the player you think will go the farthest.

Here you go.

As it stands now, he has the absolute most trust.

-You think Samir will go the farthest? -Him along with a few others.

Because she won't win it as a Traitor.

-You don't think so? -No.

Martin, who do you think will go the farthest?

I actually think Sara will take it, despite being at a disadvantage.

Martin and Anders, we could sit here all night dissecting the game.

Just see where it's headed, but I'll let you go.

Thanks for coming.

-Thanks to you. -Thank you very much.

I'm never doing this again.

-It's nice to know that. -So you don't want to play against me in an All-Stars?

-Traitor against Traitor. -Never.

Before the final chapter, there's only one Traitor left.

Can Sara manage to win it, or will the Faithfuls win the game?

Welcome to "the end game."

We'll meet both losers and winners in the next episode.
