I'm the best Traitor in the world!

OWL SCREECHES

OWL CAWS

Oh, you're back.

Did you deliver the invites?

OWL CAWS

Thank you so much.

These OK?

OWL CAWS Great.

It's time to get the castle ready.

A group of people from across the UK have been invited to this castle

in the Scottish Highlands...

Come on! Dig in!

..to play the ultimate game of deception,

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

Oh, my God!

They'll build up a huge prize pot by completing epic missions.

EXPLOSION, CRIES OF SURPRISE

My hands are literally shaking.

But hidden amongst them are the Traitors,

who will secretly murder their fellow players.

By order of the Traitors...

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

and banish them before they become their next victim.

What the hell was that?

New year... CLOCK CHIMES

..whole new game.

This is The Traitors.

TRAIN HORN SOUNDS

My name is Lisa.

I am 62 years old and I actually think any self-respecting

murder mystery needs to have a priest in it.

My strategy in the game is to blend in with everyone else,

so I'm not actually going to openly declare

that I am an ordained priest.

Oh, off duty now.

God forgive me.

I'm the first person in my family to go to university

and I've always wanted to be maybe, like,

the first black Prime Minister.

Lovely to meet you. Are you a hugger? Yes, I'm such a hugger.

I'm quite a mummy's boy,

so it'll be quite nice to see how I cope on my own.

How old are you? I'm 20. I could be your granny.

Hello.

I'm Minah, I'm a call centre manager from Liverpool.

Where are yous from? Peterborough. Liverpool. Liverpool? Is that...

Oh, see, I did a bit of an accent. Yeah, that was good.

I've got a little girl who's two.

I'm doing this experience to show her that there's nothing that

you can't do if you put your mind at something.

Hello.

I'm hoping it's going to work in the castle.

What made you want to apply for the show?

Right, are we starting an interview already?

ALL LAUGH

TRAIN HORN SOUNDS

Are you happy to be here? Of course I'm happy to be here with you.

With me? Yeah, na-na-na-na!

I would say that Maia is a typical little sister.

She's truly the baby, like, she will get away with just about murder.

We've got to tell them straight away, because we're too similar.

We talk the same, we look very similar

and we have very similar mannerisms.

I think with my sister being here, I'm just going to let her do what

she does best, which is try to control everything around her.

And then I'm just going to be controlling things

behind the scenes. That's my plan.

I'm very... I meet someone and I decide if I like them there

and then, and it normally takes... So far, so good.

Hello, everybody. Nice to meet you.

I'm Yin.

And where are you from? Well, I'm from Wales originally.

I'm 70. What's it like getting to 70?

Actually, in my case it's a lot of fun. Look, I'm doing this!

SHE LAUGHS

I just love a good murder.

Yay!

All right, guys?

I'm Tyler, I'm a barber and I'm from Leicester.

I am an old soul.

I love my musicals, and obviously my bird watching.

All right, it's exciting, innit? Yeah.

I've always strived to be my best.

Even a game of, I don't know, chess.

I can't play chess, I don't know why I said chess.

But I want to win.

What do you do for a living, Keith? Professional window cleaner.

Not scared of heights, then?

I am. Are you?

Hi!

Up until very recently,

I've served as a soldier in the British Army.

I've been to a lot of places, I've travelled the world.

However, I think if I came in with the truth,

I'd have a target on my back straight away.

Hey!

So I'm coming into this game as a nail technician.

Leanne, you look like Barbie!

People are going to take one look at this pink suit

and going to be like, "She's so girlie, she's so ditzy."

I feel like I've forgot everyone's names already.

And they're so wrong.

I'm a doctor. Wow!

Doctors are smart. You'll be shocked at how smart I'm not.

ALL LAUGH

TRAIN HORN SOUNDS

It's here!

Oh, my gosh!

Hiya! Hey!

Oh, my God, we're now a full set.

TRAIN HORN SOUNDS

I'm Yin, dark side of the Yin-Yang side.

Dark, feminine side. Good introduction.

I am a Doctor of Communication,

which is someone who has a PhD in the science of persuasion.

I feel like you've said that before.

Yeah, maybe we have met in a different life, Alexander.

I believe in different lives, you know.

So I'm a gardener, I'm a landscaper. My mum would love you.

Would she? I love mums as well, mums just tend to...

I'm a market trader's boy.

I'm a jack of all trades and quite literally a master of nowt.

Is Claudia a mum? I think she is, yeah.

Yeah, she is a mum. Oh, in you get!

We are related. We are sisters, yeah.

No way! She's my older sister.

But you've actually told us you're sisters.

Yeah, yeah, cos there's no point. We're too alike.

TRAIN SLOWS

Woo.

We're going back the other way.

We're going backwards, we're turning around.

Yeah, we're coming away, we're coming away!

Oh, God, no! No, no, no, look, look, look!

Oh, my God!

What's going on?

Oh, my God, I need a nervous wee.

Attention, passengers, Claudia here.

SCREAMS OF EXCITEMENT

No! Really?

I can't cope.

I hope you've all been enjoying your journey so far,

because things are about to get interesting.

Oh, Jesus!

Do tell! Do tell!

Interesting is never good.

As a welcome, I'm gifting you £10,000 right now

to start your prize pot.

There's always a "but".

But, as you know, in this game, everything comes at a price.

Oh, for God's sake!

Listen very carefully to what I'm about to say.

My God, I'm shaking.

Right now, there are 25 passengers on this train,

but there are only 22 spaces in the game.

So for three of you, your journey is now over.

Oh, my God!

That is mental.

One person from each carriage will have to disembark

the train before the game can start.

It's up to you to decide who that will be.

Oh, no!

This is so awful.

You will only have ten minutes to make your decision,

but for every minute that passes, £1,000 will be deducted.

Oh, my God!

So the question is, who is going to stay and who is going to go?

I'll see SOME of you at the castle.

That's... That's ridiculous. This is crazy.

Your time starts now.

CLOCK TICKS

I don't think one person wanted to get off that carriage.

There's no way I'm leaving this train.

Well, I've just got on the train.

I don't even know how you go about this.

There's no fair way to do this.

It either had to be chance or someone sacrifice themselves.

I was never going to make someone get off the train.

See this as a mission and it's about one person making the sacrifice.

How do you decide who gets off?

We've all earned our place.

Someone's going to have to make the sacrifice.

So, it's a case of who's going to win that 10K for the rest of us.

What I'm worried about is that if we don't come to

a decision by the end of it, more than one of us will be kicked off.

I think we need to take the hit on one person quickly.

I just feel bad, though. Like, someone going now?

Are you all right, Tyler? It's all right, Tyler.

Look, instead of someone going home now, which no-one wants,

it's a risk of a game, take the consequences.

What could the consequences be, do you think?

We're going to find out.

I think in life, you've got to make decisions, right?

But I'm thinking, how could I get the team thinking that I'm

a team player, without me saying that I'm going to leave?

Cos I wasn't leaving.

I think take a chance. Nine minutes left.

Oh, that's a grand already.

Has anybody got off the carriage? Can anyone see? No.

No, don't worry about them. We worry about us.

We're in here now, we don't know them, right?

I think we need to look at it, at why people are here

and what reasons they're here for, because...

No, because you're going to be wasting time.

I thought, "Someone needs to get off and we don't have time,

"We're going to lose money."

So I did go into, I guess, mission mode.

I'm prepared... Look, OK, well, I'm prepared to get off.

I kind of thought to myself, "Do you know what?

"I'm happy to get off, I'm happy to take this one for the team."

So I'm going to remember all your faces now. You all owe me big time.

Cos this is a big sacrifice I'm prepared to make. Thank you.

There wasn't really any discussion about it.

Fozia was like, "Yeah, I'll get off."

No, we're wasting time, no more hugs. Go, go, go, go, go.

I don't know what came over me, but I done it for the team

and I done it for all the people who know me.

That's something I would do for others.

It was only after I got off, I thought,

"Oh, my God. What have I just done?"

One carriage has made a decision.

What?! Someone's got off.

That's so brave, what she's just done.

I didn't want to sit there for ten minutes

as all that money just seemed to wash away.

Oi, listen!

Unless we don't finish our journey to the castle on the train.

We might still go to the castle. That's right, so just listen.

I might take that chance, then.

Oh, my God, but what if you don't though?

Eight minutes left.

Do you know what, yeah?

This is going to be the most stupid attempt ever.

I'm going to go for it.

I'm going to go for it.

I'm a Yorkshire lad.

If somebody passes me a humbug,

I don't sit for three hours sucking it.

I crunch it and I chew it.

CHEERING

See ya later!

Suppose I might have just crunched me humbug a bit too quick there.

Oh, just get off, will you?

Oh, me chance! Well!

Oh, what have I done?

Two carriages have made a decision.

There was no way on this earth I was getting off that train.

You'd have to chuck me out the window, like, you know what I mean?

Like, no way I'm getting off here.

Is anyone willing to step off? Cos...

Well, if there's volunteers, then that's helpful.

I'm Alexander, I'm 38 years old

and I was a British diplomat for ten years.

As a diplomat, I worked in Asia, Africa and the Middle East,

doing conflict resolution.

Or we can flip coins. No, no. We can just flip forks.

No, I think it's not fair to leave it to chance.

Well, I think it is quite fair to leave it to chance, right?

In the sense that that's the fairest.

My biggest strength is that I like doing things for the team

and getting things done, and there are times when that's helpful

and there are times when it's stupid.

I mean, I'm not totally against...

I'm not totally against it.

You're not totally against nominating yourself?

I thought maybe a couple of other people would also stand up.

But that wasn't really what happened.

Well, if you feel you want to do it...

Well, I don't want to do it, but I'm just saying, like, somebody...

I think we just need to do it, because otherwise there's no...

There's no cash for us.

I think by the time I'd said that I was considering it,

I think that's almost as good as saying I'll do it.

Because everybody said, "Oh, that's great, yeah!

"Thanks so much for that wonderful offer.

"That's really nice of you, you should go."

I don't want to push you into anything at all,

but given that you put yourself forward first...

Seven minutes left.

OK.

I did feel bad, but I was like, at the end of the day,

you made the suggestion, so thank you so much.

I appreciate your bravery.

Do I think it was a risk worth taking?

Right now, I don't know.

All three carriages have made a decision.

Oh! Alexander! Oh, no!

You can't help but feel guilty, but we're all in our heads like,

"Thank God that wasn't me."

OK? I can't believe it.

I was literally gagging to be here as well.

And then the first chance I've got to eliminate myself,

I just do it anyway. Yeah.

Yeah, I feel like an absolute...fool.

Congratulations, all three carriages

decided within the timeframe.

Bittersweet, isn't it?

You have successfully banked £7,000 for the prize fund.

Well done, Jack! Well done, Jack.

I'm not clapping here. This is not a clap moment.

Now sit back, relax and enjoy the ride.

I'll see you soon.

How are you supposed to relax?!

It's all right, it's done now.

Oh...

Sorry, I didn't think I'd get like that.

As soon as those three players got off the train, I was like,

"Yes! It's begun."

That's what we're here to do, we're here to eliminate people.

And I don't feel any shame about it, to be honest.

TRAIN HORN SOUNDS

Oh, my God, guys. This is stressing me out, like...

This is actually the most brutal thing ever.

Seven grand, though.

Oh, my God! What just happened?

What a roller-coaster.

I'm still shocked that I'm here.

I thought that the game wouldn't start

until we actually got there, but it's already started.

It feels like it's already started, no, definitely.

Oh, I think we're getting closer!

Oh, my God, we're going through the gate! Oh, my God.

We're nearly there, we're nearly there.

Oh, my God, I can see it.

EXCITED SCREAMING

It's massive! There she is, the old beaut.

Oh, this is real now, isn't it?

Oh, my God!

This is really weird. Wow!

It's Claudia, look! It's Claudia, look!

Hello.

Ooh, Claudia! Oh, my God.

Hello, everyone!Hi!

That was a nice "hi" back, I'm delighted with you all.

Welcome to the beautiful Scottish Highlands

and the magnificent Traitors Castle.

How was your journey?

Bit traumatic. Um, traumatic.

Emotional.

But are you thinking, rather them than you? Yes. Mm.

Well, here you are.

25 passengers have become 22 players

and once the Traitors have been picked,

you are officially in the game.

Yes! Oh, my God!

Very shortly, I am going to choose my Traitors.

Oh!

Their job is to murder the Faithful, removing them from the game.

The rest of you are my Faithful.

In order to survive, you're going to have to stick together

and banish the Traitors before you become their next victim.

Clear? Yeah. Yeah. Understood? Yeah.

As you've already seen, things are a little different this year.

And that is just the beginning.

Brutal.

In you go.

CHEERING

PEACOCK CRIES OUT

Oh, my God!

Oh, my goodness! Oh, wow!

Library! Yes!

Oh, my God, no! Dan...

This is my sanctuary. Dan, it's giving reading.

Oh, it's giving intellectuals.

Have we been down there?

The castle is literally like a dream.

I'm like, "Oh, my goodness, am I Rapunzel?

"Let me put down my hair."

Oh, here we go.

See, I love food, so I'll just be sat here.

If you need me, I'll be here.

All the pictures are, like, death, innit?

Look, your trousers match the bookcases!

Oh, no way! You're literally just a floating torso!

Is she dead or alive?

I'm loving it.

Claudia has made this castle so beautiful.

What is this? It's the breakfast room!

Oh, my gosh, look at the pictures!

It's quite interesting how people have, like,

presented themselves in their pictures.

That's, like, the first, like, thing you can notice, I think.

I'm trying to observe to what level does someone's personality

and how they communicate align with how they are dressed?

You're right in the middle, aren't you?

You're literally right in the middle.

I know, and I'm a bit scared that I'm in the middle.

It's quite fascinating.

What was your name again? Lisa. And you're Linda?

Linda, yeah. Oh, you're so good.

I'm hopeless at remembering names.

I'm Linda, I'm 70 years old.

I think I have always been a bit of a wild child.

And I do crazy things, and I'm just not a typical grandmother.

Oh, this is just like my kitchen.

Oh, of course! Naturally, dear!

Lisa, she's lovely and she's much more a mother figure than I am.

I want you children to go and keep yourselves occupied

and I'll prepare dinner, OK?

Oh, thanks, Mum!

So I've decided to be the fun old person.

That's what I've decided now.

I don't know which room to go in, mate.

No, mate. Which room shall we go in?

Where are you from? Um, I'm from Wales.

Where?

I'm from Abergavenny, in Monmouthshire.

Why? North Wales.

Oh, I'm very south.

I kind of thought that in the past

there's only been one person from Wales, but this year,

Claudia's decided to bring two of us here, which is so nice.

Well, I live in Cardiff now. Ooh!

Although, actually, it's a bit of a spanner in the works, because...

..I'm not actually from Wales.

I'm from London, where I am born and bred.

I've been putting on a Welsh accent because my mum's from Wales.

It's one of the most trustworthy accents, so in a game where we need

people to trust each other, I need an accent that people can trust.

I've lived in London since, since post-uni, so all my Welsh

friends from school are like, "Oh, you've lost your accent."

I can hear it a little bit, you know. Yeah.

I am now terrified that she will work this out.

Do you speak Welsh?

I can probably remember, like, how to count to five.

You know, things like that.

Do you want me to teach you to count to ten?

Yeah, you could teach me six, seven...

Welsh is actually my first language

and I was so excited to find out that Charlotte is actually Welsh.

It brought me a lot of comfort, you know?

Hello!

I don't know how it will go. Probably terribly.

22 players have all fought for their place to be here.

It's all smiles now, but that's about to change.

It's time to select the Traitors.

£120,000.

What would that do for your life?

Me and my fiance, we're not able to have kids of our own,

so that would be the start of, like, our IVF journey.

Me and my husband got married in Covid,

so I'd love for us to have, like, a gorgeous honeymoon

and be able to put a deposit down for a home.

It would be a bit of financial security

so that I can actually spend and enjoy my time with my daughter.

We've found ourselves kind of in a place where everything has

become very tight very quickly, out of nowhere,

to the extent where I'm having to work lots of extra shifts.

Welcome to the Round Table.

Probably one of the most important tables you'll ever sit at,

because right here is where your fate in the game is determined.

What's your strategy, then?

My strategy is to make whatever self-interested move

I can to get me forwards in the game.

I can be a shark and be ready to bite.

I am a competitor first and I hate to lose.

I think maybe that comes from the law background.

I want to win.

You're an opera singer? Yeah.

There is more drama in opera than anywhere else. Exactly.

I think this is how I'm seeing it. I'm sort of, like, playing a role.

I'm already lying. I'm already doing a good job of that.

They have no idea.

I'm an assassin Barbie.

People think I'm dumb, but I'm not.

My strategy is to take advantage of how people tend to underestimate me.

Are you a good liar? I'm a very good liar.

My wife's made me spaghetti bolognese for the past 35 years.

She thinks I like it, but I don't.

Keith, I'm going to be honest -

I don't know whether lying about a pasta sauce makes you a Traitor.

KEITH LAUGHS

I want you to look around.

Look at each other.

This is the last time you will sit here as equals.

In a moment, I will choose my Traitors and the game will begin.

There's 22 people.

I have not chosen yet.

Would you like to be a Traitor or a Faithful?

Actually, I'd like to be a Traitor,

because I think that I'm quite good at lying. Good girl.

I'd definitely like to be a Traitor.

My way in life, I'm always Faithful Frankie.

I want to be a Traitor. I really want to be a Traitor.

I'm already being a totally fake version of myself,

so why not add another thing in?

I am a good liar, but lying also does make me feel a little bit sick.

Welcome to the Traitors. I know!

100% Faithful. But I've already met a few people

and thought, "I'd have no problem killing you."

I've never asked this in this room before.

How would you feel about murdering your sister?

Mm, we knew what we signed up for.

And if she's got to go because I need to survive,

then she's got to go.

Do you want to be a Traitor or a Faithful? A Traitor.

OK. What an honour! Tell me more, why?

It's the role I was born to play.

Anything you want me to do, I will do it.

Even if you said to me right now,

"Send somebody home to be a Traitor," I'd do it.

You're a priest. I am.

And you haven't told them? No.

Have you told upstairs, as it were?

We've had a chat. Can you lie? Yeah.

I mean, I'm a priest, not a saint.

It's time.

Players, please put on your blindfolds.

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

Palms starting to get sweaty as Claudia's walking round

and pacing slowly. She's stopping, she's starting.

Is she next to me? Is she beside me?

I'm like, "What is going on?"

I... I think I maybe smiled a bit, and then I was like,

"Rein it in, rein it in, stop smiling."

I can't believe it.

As a doctor, my general day-to-day demeanour tends to be very

chilled out and relaxed,

but when Claudia was doing the laps,

it was so nerve-racking.

My heart is pumping, like, insanely.

This is where everything changes.

Now that I know I'm a Traitor, the game has finally started for real.

FOOTSTEPS

When she touched me, I thought,

"I've now got to keep a straight face.

"I mustn't do anything, or breathe heavily, or do something."

I'm totally going to have fun.

It's woken me up completely.

I have selected my Traitors.

The rest of you will be known as the Faithful.

The course of the game has now been set.

Will you please remove your blindfolds?

Traitors...

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

Your task is simple.

Remain undetected and murder the Faithful.

Faithful, your task is to track down the Traitors

and banish them from the game.

Get it wrong and you could banish an innocent Faithful.

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

they take all the money, but winning the money is going to require

even more smarts than ever this year.

Listen carefully.

Those who make it to the final will no longer reveal

their true identities as they leave.

Instead, you will need to rely solely on your instincts

as to whether any Traitors are left in the game.

I'll let that sink in.

In the meantime, I have good news.

There are welcome drinks in the bar.

Does that sound good? Yes.

Oh! One tiny thing I forgot to mention.

Tonight the Traitors will commit their first murder.

Happy hunting and I'll see most of you at breakfast tomorrow.

That's crazy.

Oh, my God! That was rough.

Oh, I feel sick. I can't even lie.

She walked for so long.

What can you go on, though, now? Do you know what I mean?

I know. Well...

What about that twist about the final?

Mate, I need to get there first.

Yeah. Do you know what I mean?

Can't even think about that right now. Oh, my God!

I love it. I'm so excited.

I hope that I stay in long enough to actually see this through a bit.

Oh, my goodness!

Oh, my God, I swear to... Look at me in the eye.

I could not deal with that. Look at me in the eye.

I am not a Traitor. OK. I am a Faithful.

OK. I could not deal with that, I swear on my life.

Let's go and get a drink.

I don't want to, like, speak too soon,

but I didn't expect lying to feel this easy to me.

Woo! These look delicious!

I'm going to go with this one. This is cute!

Hand on heart, I have got no trouble murdering anybody, any night.

For now, I am just figuring out who I can wink to, in the corridors.

I never thought I was an anxious person.

I'm usually Mrs Cool.

And this is only the beginning. Yes.

Oh, my God! Yes, I know.

Do you think?

As a Welsh translator, I'm very good at reading people.

I am going to try to use that to my advantage,

because I feel like there are strong female Traitors here

and we need to deal with this very, very strategically.

How are both of you feeling, being sisters? I feel ill, I can't lie.

Like, I just feel like there's a target on our back.

Like, how shit would that be if yous got...?

I would actually bawl my eyes out, I can't even lie.

The thought of it is making me feel ill, I can't even lie.

My biggest worry is there being any suspicion around Maia and I.

It's the only thing that I'm kind of worried about.

I'm trying my best to plant the seeds of we're both Faithful,

both Faithful, both Faithful, but people are going to

naturally start getting suspicious.

I would be absolutely devastated if it was one of you two.

Same. Devastated.

Are you a Traitor or what?

Genuinely, I swear on every single thing in me, I'm a Faithful.

Something about Armani is off.

The way she's talking is different.

We need to be very smart about this, though.

But maybe she's just trying to make herself seem more pleasant.

Maybe she's doing her work voice.

I don't know.

If I wake up tomorrow and Barbie's gone, I'm looking at you.

I'm not going to sleep tonight,

because I have not built enough social capital.

I have not met, I literally haven't...

Oh, people are coming in, OK. All right, this is good.

Being a Faithful is terrifying.

Because it's early days, you have very little signal

as to whether they would target quiet ones, or loud ones.

So it's that immense vulnerability that I'm feeling at the moment.

Oh, I don't know.

I'm... I'm worried.

Only one thing that I would say, you know when Claudia spoke

and she said, "Traitors, you're going to kill tonight"?

Yeah. Linda went like that.

Traitors...

But, I mean, it could be nothing, do you know what I mean?

But, like, that's only thing that I had to go on.

Yeah, Linda's really one that I can't stop thinking about.

It was like a subconscious look and maybe it's me overthinking it,

but I just thought that's a bit suspect.

Hi, darling. Hey, darling.

It's so bloody random. I mean, at the moment.

And we don't know people well enough.

It is a game of chance, isn't it?

Tomorrow morning, when we know who's died, we might be able to...

There's a clue. Yeah.

Can I be honest about something? About you, Linda. Yeah.

And I'm not kind of like saying it's you or anything.

But, like, when Claudia said,

"Traitors, I'll see you tonight," or something like that,

your head turned.

You know when someone calls your name

and you're like, you just...subconsciously you look?

Oh, my goodness!

Could be nothing, I get that. No, I was just listening to her.

Because she was talking, I looked at her.

I mean, that doesn't say anything.

I'm hoping I can smooth it over.

But I just want to let you know, I don't want to be

talking behind your back. Don't worry, I'm a Faithful.

I wanted to mention it to Linda personally, cos I thought

I wanted to see her reaction to me accusing her.

Her response didn't kind of fill me with any confidence,

so I am going to be watching Linda, if I'm still here tomorrow.

The clue is now, who's the Traitor?

Let me stay one night, all right?

Just one night, please.

Mate, I'm not going to sleep tonight.

I hope it's not one of us.

We should have more time to get to know each other.

Somebody's not going to come for breakfast tomorrow morning.

That's just... Urgh..

CLOCK CHIMES

Oh! That's our time. It's time.

Oh, God.

I'll see you tomorrow. Hopefully. Wish me luck.

Hopefully we see each other. Yeah.

CLOCK CHIMES

After a long first day, the clock has chimed

and the players must leave immediately and return to their

individual lodgings, where they can't see or speak to each other.

But for the Traitors, they must return to the castle,

where they'll find out each other's identities.

And they've got a big decision to make.

Who should they murder first?

You stand before the Traitors' Turret.

Before I give you this cloak,

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

Do you commit to lie and deceive throughout the game? I do.

Are you willing to murder one of your fellow players every night?

I am.

Do you vow to keep your identity

and the identities of your fellow Traitors a secret?

Absolutely.

You are now officially a Traitor.

Happy killing. Thank you.

I am so excited to find out who my fellow Traitors are.

It could be the quietest people. You just don't know.

So I'm really curious to see.

My heart is racing.

I'm thinking, "Who is it? Are they a team player?"

THEY GIGGLE UNCONTROLLABLY

Linda! Get out!

I can't get...

I was shocked.

Linda's standing opposite me.

I didn't suspect her at all.

This is going to be fun.

Linda, is it just me and you?

It looks like it is. The dynamic duo!

KNOCK ON DOOR

Oh, God!

Woman power!

Oh, my goodness!

Holy... Not a clue, mate.

No? Not a clue about either of you. Not a clue.

What is going on here? Linda, to be honest,

she's got the bravado for it all.

And then on the other side, Minah could have had me fooled twice.

Well, I am the oldest Traitor ever.

Wow! Yes, Linda!

This is the best day of my life.

We're going to have so much fun,

but Armani's got her little sister, Maia.

They're kind of a team and we can only have one team

and that's the Traitors' team.

Who are we going to murder?

Yeah, we have to make a decision. There's quite a few names, like.

I think we need to think smart, eliminate the threat as soon as.

Don't give it air to breathe.

But I have to tell you that Jake has already put my name forward.

So I don't think that we can get rid of Jake,

because I think that would be too obvious.

But you've got to have my back tomorrow. I wouldn't worry.

I will say this, like, basically, I only just about know

Nathan at this point, I haven't really had a chance to talk to him.

I thought about Nathan, because I was in the train with him.

And he stood up and said, "Why don't we all stay, nobody leaves?"

But he was willing to lose money on that.

Well, yeah, that's concerning. Major point there.

In my mind I've got Yin.

She's very intellectual. Yes, she is.

And I don't think she's kind of anyone's radar right now.

No, she's not. And I can see her being a threat later on easy. Yeah.

Who else we got? Kas could potentially be someone to look at.

He is a very observant individual, as in looking for slip-ups,

and we've just got to be mindful of that.

So, ladies, what we're going to do, it's between Yin...

..Nathan...

..possibly Kas. Yeah.

It's a hard one. Yeah.

It is a hard one, because it's the first. Exactly.

And we want to get it right. Exactly.

Are we all agreed?

Yes. Yes? Think so. Absolutely.

It's going to be a great morning. Yeah. It is.

Well, for some.

Oh, yeah, for some.

From this moment, we are the only team.

You don't have a sister. Goodbye. Good luck.

These two are your sisters.

Let's get that money, girls. Yeah, absolutely.

Do the honours.

Given it's the first one, I wouldn't mind.

This individual could potentially cause trouble to the three of us,

so they have to go.

One step closer to the money. Yes. Exactly.

Ooh, what a gorgeous way of putting it.

Being in the conclave and deciding who we were going to murder,

I loved every minute of it.

Am I bad?

We're all here to win that money, one way or another.

The game is the game.

And I'm here to play it, and I'm here to play it well.

Tatty-bye-bye!

It's a new day, and last night the Traitors

committed their very first murder.

This morning, the unsuspecting players

will make their way to breakfast.

But one Faithful will not arrive at the castle

and only the Traitors know who that will be.

No, you can't disguise

Oh, my God, we're the first ones here.

We're the first!

I am absolutely buzzing.

I was overwhelmed, so I wasn't expecting to be there.

I'm not even joking, I was convinced that I was going this morning,

I swear. I was overthinking everything,

I was like, "Was my suit too pink yesterday?"

Or "was I too noticeable?"

I hate not being in control, but I'm still here.

So, who do you think?

Looking up there, honestly, I ain't got a clue. Got no clue.

I think the person I got to know least was Nathan.

I was sat opposite Nathan on the train.

His eyes, he sits there like this. Yeah, yeah, he does. Really?

Like he's trying to suss people out, yeah. See.

KNOCK AT DOOR

Oh, God. Come in!

CHEERING

Morning! Good to see you, good to see you. Oh, my God!

I am feeling fantastic.

I can't lie. I'm in great spirits.

We were the first ones in.

Ooh! my God.

I'm so happy but I'm, like, where's Maia?

Oh, no, I can imagine.

Yeah, I'm trying to control myself. She's going to be here.

Keep your, keep your fingers crossed.

I wanted to make sure I look like a Faithful.

"Oh, my God, is she going to come back?"

Even though I know she is.

But, like, you've got to just put yourself in the head space.

KNOCK AT DOOR

Open! Come in! Come in!

CHEERING

Yay! Good to see you.

It feels incredibly powerful

to have committed the first murder.

Very powerful.

CHEERING

My game plan for today is to sit back a bit

and listen to what people are saying.

This is quite overwhelming. I know, it is.

Actually I'm, like, a little bit teary.

They all looked almost nervous and I thought, "Why are you nervous?"

I wasn't nervous to go into breakfast. I was excited.

I'm getting brekkie and I'm still alive.

Oh!

Are you OK? A little bit. Eh?

I'm just getting more and more stressed, cos, like,

she's not walking through the door.

Oh, calm myself down. What, your sister? Yeah.

I'll be OK. Oh, babe! Oh!

I'm just stressed, man.

She's going to get me. You know what it is?

It's like there's a lot of, like, people have come in now.

The only thing I would say to Armani

is maybe she should bring it down a bit.

There's still a lot to come, babe, there's still a lot more.

There's still a lot to come.

But I don't know.

That could be me just not accepting or understanding her personality.

Oh, my God, who the hell is not going to come back?

KNOCK AT DOOR

Oh, hold on, quiet, quiet, everybody.

Come in!

CHEERING

Oh, my God!

Armani, she's here, she's here! Don't worry.

I was stressing.

Oh, I was bawling my eyes out before you came. Cheers.

Cheers to that. Oh, gosh!

I was a little bit uncomfortable, I'm not going to lie.

Oh, my God!

I think it was just thinking, as a Traitor,

how does a Faithful walk into the breakfast room?

Which you'll never know, cos you're not one.

So who's left? Who's missing?

Who's left? Who's left?

Kas.

Yin.

Nathan.

No. Oh, my God, oh, my God. oh, my God.

I've been worried about Yin from... Really? Yeah, yeah. Why?

Because she's so bright. Oh, really?

She's super-bright.

I really like Kas, though.

I'm praying. I might cry if he's gone.

Kas is very smart. Yeah, no, but I... Yin's very smart.

If I was a Traitor, my first one would be Nathan.

KNOCK AT DOOR

Ooh! Oh!

CHEERING

Oh, my God!

Are we the last?!

Oh, my God!

Are we the last ones?

Yin. Yin's not here?

Yin's gone.

Oh...

Oh, no.

I think we're going to have to kill off Yin.

She's just got too much brains. Yeah, yeah.

And I just see it being a big pain in the arse, down the line.

We can't afford to let that risk grow.

OK, I'm with you.

Our first murder, girls.

YIN EXHALES

"Dear Yin, by order of the Traitors, you have been murdered.

"Signed. the Traitors."

My God, that was fast.

I had this whole narrative planned.

This is chapter one, but really this is the end.

But I have enjoyed every hemi, demi, semiquaver of this experience

so far, as short as it has been.

It's like a mayfly or a lunar moth, which is a famous moth

that lives for only one day but shines very brightly,

and then is extinguished for evermore.

So unfair, so unfair.

That's harsh.

She ain't even done anything wrong.

I just think Yin's a very bizarre choice, you know what I mean? Yeah.

I really liked Yin, and I was worried about her. Aw.

Well, you've got a good instinct, then. She's bright.

I think that the Traitors are relying on groupthink,

which is working in their favour,

cos a lot of people don't like people who aren't like them.

I didn't really get to know her that well, just briefly spoke to her.

If you appear overly intelligent, then people just don't like that.

Regardless of whether you're a Faithful or a Traitor.

I wish it wasn't that way, but that's also the way of the world.

How are you getting on?

Not happy about that. Oh, you can't understand it. I can understand it.

Oh, really? She was totally intelligent,

she was reading the books in the library. Yeah.

BIRD CAWS

Morning, everyone. Morning! Good morning, Claudia. Morning, Claudia.

Did you sleep well?

No. Not in the slightest.

Yes.

I did.

Bold!

LAUGHTER

I tell you what, somebody really didn't sleep well.

Aw...

The first murder has happened...

..and Yin is gone.

Tyler, you're the tallest, do you mind helping me?

Don't ask me.

He doesn't need a ladder to get up there. He does need a ladder.

Aw!

Thank you, Tyler.

So, the first murder has happened and Yin, this is not personal,

but it is tradition.

Oh!

It's brutal here, isn't it?

You need to get used to that.

Bloody hell.

Players, there is no mission today.

However, there is a Round Table.

Use your time wisely.

I'm happy you're having a nice time,

but it is important you work out who the Traitors are.

I'll see you at the Round Table.

Bye, Yin.

I don't know if I can hang her somewhere. Aw.

Round of applause for Yin.

I'm feeling quite salty now.

Good. Yeah?

We're going to do it.

It's crazy.

There's so little information, but I'm trying to collect it all.

I thought, gun to my head if I had to pick someone,

it'll be Yin that was the Traitor.

Oh, right! Yeah.

So, don't rely on me for theories, cos I'll be getting...

So easy to overthink things and second-guess yourself. I know.

Come here, come here.

I'm glad you're here.

I'm glad I'm here too!

I was quite surprised with Yin going home.

I had a feeling that I was going to go home

because I'd kind of went with Linda.

I feel like I need to stick with that.

I need to make sure I pick my moments to really go after her.

My strategy is going around and talking to everybody

and finding out what they think of everybody else.

I feel like, um, Elen.

But it's kind of tough, because...

I don't think Maia has a clue that I'm a Traitor.

But, at some point, I'm going to come under scrutiny.

So my game plan is to seem like the really honest and open person that

really just wants everyone to have a fair chance.

And I do feel that way in some ways.

But then at the same time, you know, I'm a Traitor, so...

Looking around, make sure, like, who's looking over.

I want to be real with, like, whose names I've heard

and whose names I haven't and I've heard somebody mention your name.

Yeah, cos I was a mess last night.

Are you being for real right now?

Can I ask you who said my name?

I told Armani how I'm feeling and then Armani's like,

"Well, do you know what, Elen? I did hear people say your name".

I think it's been general chat, in all honesty,

and I've heard someone mention your name as well.

No way? Yeah. I've also heard about Leon.

What?! Really? Really?

I was making sure to plant little seeds of doubt in people.

There's got to be a Traitor within us.

That's kind of scary.

I just think it's a little bit of fun.

So, just to kind of put everyone, like,

out there in terms of what I've been going around and saying,

because I want to kind of keep you guys all in the loop

of all the information that I've heard and, like... Yeah.

We have to be transparent.

I don't want to be throwing people's names out, cos I don't know.

"But I'm going to do it anyway."

No, say it how it is. Because in terms of calm and collected,

the first person that comes to my mind is Kas.

I think it's Nathan that's cool, calm and collected.

Nathan's very calm and collected. I don't know Nathan,

I don't know him. It's just his persona.

Armani, she's establishing herself as the leader of the pack.

She's just got to be careful, because those big personalities

are the people that end up getting looked at.

We've survived and then there's a Round Table coming up.

I'm not looking at anyone in our group.

Someone mentioned Linda's name.

Jake called her out on it yesterday.

But he did say it to her in front of everyone.

I don't know. Is that something, is it not?

I don't know, my mind's going a million miles an hour.

The Traitors have struck,

but now the Faithful get a chance at revenge.

It's time for the very first Round Table.

Players will debate,

there will be a vote and somebody will be banished.

My advice? Get snacks.

You have exactly seven seconds.

This whole game is strategy.

I'm planning to just act as a Faithful.

If I lie to myself, then I can lie to everyone else.

No-one wants to go,

but also no-one wants to put all their cards on the table.

You just don't want to feel that vulnerable.

Going into the Round Table as a Traitor,

I am a little bit nervous to see who's getting banished.

I don't think anybody is suspecting me.

I've already got my suspicions on Linda and I'm going to go into

this Round Table and say my piece, cos I do believe she's a Traitor.

Welcome back to the Round Table.

The last time we were in here, I picked my Traitors.

This time, Faithful, your job is to find them.

You will each cast one vote.

Cast them wisely, because whoever receives the most votes,

whether they be Traitor or Faithful, will be

banished from the castle, never to be seen again.

So, I have some questions for you.

Who do you trust?

Who do you not?

Will you think for yourself, or will you - surprise, surprise -

follow the herd?

Players, the floor is yours.

Well, if no-one wants to start, I don't mind trying to...

I know it's a bit of a rough one and most of us don't really have a clue

of where to go, but I felt like it's the best that we kind of lay as much

information out on the table, so that we all kind of

have a fair chance to kind of say our own piece.

And, yeah, everyone can chime in, I guess.

I'll be... I'll be honest.

Just like a comment that's been in my head.

It was from you, Elen.

You said the Traitors will be more girls this time.

And you did say that, and that's fine, but I didn't know

if that was, like, over compensating.

Like double bluffs, like, "I'm saying it as a woman."

Do you see what I'm saying? That was actually something

I was going to bring up here tonight anyway.

I genuinely do believe there could potentially be a strong

female Traitor this year.

However, I've tried to speak to all of the females here

and I've no idea.

Talking of strong females, sorry...

I know I've already mentioned this already to you last night, Linda.

Absolutely. But last night when Claudia said,

"Traitors, you're going to murder tonight"

when she said the word "Traitors," your head did turn. Yes.

It could be nothing, but I don't know,

I just have this feeling that you would be a good Traitor.

It's just the way you carry yourself. I'm not.

But that's obviously the only thing I've got to go on.

Well, I'm, I'm, I'm...

Thank you for telling me last night, actually.

But, listen, I mean, if somebody is talking, I look at them.

Yeah. I mean, it was nothing to do with the word Traitor.

It was because Claudia... Yeah, it was more the actual, like,

the word "Traitors," it wasn't actually Claudia speaking.

But, again, I could just be a coincidence. Not even conscious.

Not even conscious. No, no, fair enough. Yeah, yeah.

But it's made me now suspicious of you,

because I'm thinking, are you deflecting?

To kind of back Jake a little bit here...

..I did hear a thing which I thought,

"OK, that's kind of got some grounds to it,"

was the fact that there could be like, an older Traitor.

Not to pick out any names, I haven't really spoken to you, Lisa.

That's fine. Really, in all honesty, like...

And that's just probably by chance

and I just feel like you seem very lovely and very nice,

but that could be a great disguise. That's fine.

We're all in the same situation and I... You know what I mean?

I can assure you, I am 100% one of the Faithful,

as God is my witness.

I just want to jump in. Armani, Elen and Anna.

We all walked in and we were all buzzing to be in the breakfast room.

Watching other people walk in, and I hate to call people out,

but the group with Alex and Leon, Charlotte, I'm not pointing

you out, but you two boys just seemed quite chill.

Can I say something about that? Yeah, of course.

I'm so grateful to come through that door

and almost like I feel, like, a bit, like, embarrassed,

cos I know that I'm here and someone else isn't here.

OK.

Last night, when Claudia was selecting,

my heart was pounding and I thought,

"Oh, my God, it's going to be me, it's going to be me."

And the moment that it wasn't, I was so relieved.

I'm absolved of responsibility, I'm kind of like surrendered to fate.

I didn't feel amazing last night.

If you say you felt really relaxed,

why weren't you stressed about being murdered?

I was so stressed about being... Cos that was my...

No, I literally was then so stressed about being murdered.

I cried. I cried a lot last night, I cried a lot this morning.

Oh, God.

The only thing I was going to say, like, Mama Linda,

you've just become really quiet.

Well, I've said my piece. No.

Like, last night, so after when Claudia walked round,

and we left off, you're right in front of me,

and it looked like your heart just sank.

It looked like somebody that had been picked to be a Traitor

that didn't want to be.

I found the whole thing really stressful

and my heart was going like this.

And that's what I'm sure it is,

because I've not said this to anyone,

and I've not mentioned anyone's names,

because I can't pick anyone at all.

Until now!

It feels a bit strange to say,

"I've not said this to anybody, but I'm saying it now."

Yeah, because it's not me saying that I think she's guilty,

it's if there was one thing that I could think of,

that would be the only thing that I could think of.

That's all I've got, genuinely, like...

Can I say, I'm sorry, I'm feeling very overwhelmed at the moment,

but I'm really sorry, and the reason I feel bad

is cos I really like you.

But you've just put the seed of doubt in my head, I'm afraid.

That moment there with the pointing to Linda,

it's just thrown me a tiny bit. Why?

I can't 100%... It's just there.

But that's the only thing, if people are going to ask everyone

to pick a name, someone's then got to pick a name.

I would just say, Nathan, you are quite cool, calm and collected,

which you would be a great Traitor in that aspect, for that.

I don't know if that's a compliment but I am. In my life,

I am quite chilled and quite calm.

Like, I've been through a lot,

so you learn life skills and you become quite calm.

The only thing that I can think of was just your face last night.

That was the only thing I could think of.

Just going off the back of that, I mean,

I hadn't thought about that before, until you just mentioned Linda

and I absolutely love you, we was on the carriage together,

but you were very chatty on the train, and you are quiet now.

Maybe it's the nerves. I think I said my piece.

I mean, that's the end of it.

The time for talk is over.

It is time to vote.

Please write down the name of the person

you believe is a Traitor.

I'm really anxious.

Really anxious.

I just don't want to go on the first Round Table,

and it be a Traitor.

Has everyone locked in their answers?

Nathan, we're going to start with you.
