story: 105246001BR Title: THE TRAITORS (2) LANG:TXT ep. 1 air: 29-03-2022

VO: From all corners of the country...

I collected 18 well-known Dutch people...

for another chilling adventure from 'The Traitors'.

Faithful or Traitors.

They all compete for that main prize of 40 kilos of silver.

STEFANO: Impressive.

VO: This blood-curdling game demands the utmost from the players.

In this game you can't show your true face too much.

VO: List. -I'm razor sharp.

Yes, Traitor. -I?

VO: Manipulation. -Don't be fooled.

I'm starting to believe it.

VO: Cheating. -A Traitor has to come out, Stefano...

and you want that too. VO: Nothing is shunned...

and that causes emotions to run high. -Don't let it happen again.

"Fuck you." No, seriously. FRANK L.: Buoys. Well done.

We have silver.

VO: But this morning... This morning none of them knew...

who would be the other pawns in this chess game of betrayal...

and still nothing happened.

Although...

subtitle: Red Bee Media

VO: A steam train races through the hills of Limburg.

On board, 18 well-known Dutch people.

I was happy that I immediately saw a number of acquaintances in the coupe.

It's reassuring that you might have some allies.

Hee.

TOINE: Hi.Toine.Good to see you. -Nice.Hi.Ortal.

VO: The brand new players are divided into three compartments by sixes.

STELLA: Yeah, there you are. -I think this is quite fun.

Yes. -Is everyone okay?

Excellent. JOEP: Now it's still fun.

Yes, it's still fun. -Now it's still fun, yes.

STEVEN: It's all well and good, but at some point it's going to turn around.

'It's a part of the game.'

JOEP: Oh, those pictures. Those pictures.

Look, we have more pictures.

GIEL: I immediately see six pictures hanging in that compartment...

and before i can tell who they are...

Carolina. That's a friend of mine. -Not at all.

ESMEE: Jamie is my best friend's ex.

Who is this? I walk behind. -Sylvia Gersen.

IRENE: Oh, sorry. ESMEE: Steven Brunswijk.

Yes, Esmee. "Take the lead."

Guys, Stefano is real... We have to watch out for that...

because it can take all kinds of forms... GIEL: Already?

ESMEE: Yes, I swear to you. GIEL: Do you know him too?

I don't know if he can lie well.

FRANK L.: Stella Bergsma.

Irene Moors, Joep Sertons.

BABETTE: Esmee is an actress. -Yes.

Stella. FRANK E.: This tells me...

I don't know this either. CAROLINA: We don't know either.

We recognize five of the six.

We are looking for connections between people...

hanging on the window and who we are.

Jill I see. GIEL: Frank van der Lende.

Oh Babette.Nice. STEVEN: Giel, Piece TV.

Dionne. STELLA: Who, what, how?

Giel from StukTV. STELLA: All those headlines I thought:

You look familiar, you look familiar, but who are you?

I was already afraid that I wouldn't recognize anyone.

VO: Final destination of the train is Castle Erenstein in Kerkrade.

But it's certainly not a fun candy trip .

Along the way, six kilos of silver can already be played together.

FRANK L.: Shall I... -Yes, do that.

DIONNE: What's all this? - Shall we read it together, Joe?

I'm going to see if you're reading correctly. -The first mission.

When this train arrives at the terminus...

all the people in these photos must be in this car.

On the way to that terminus , the train stops twice.

The first stop takes ONE minute. ONE of you gets off the train...

and consults with people on the platform about who should sit in which car.

The second stop takes two minutes. -Get off the train with your luggage...

and sit in the carriage where your picture hangs.

This is then… ESMEE: At the terminus.

Each wagon in which the right people are sitting yields two kilograms of silver.

We have started. STEVEN: I don't get it anymore.

Me neither. IRENE: Someone is going out.

There's someone outside. DIONNE: Someone else.

He has to talk about other wagons. Who are there?

Who do we need? That should be done in ONE minute.

So one of us has ONE minute to chat on the platform.

TOINE: Any advantage. I have a feeling that I...

Apart from StukTV, I know them. I know the other five.

ESMEE: You can go outside for me then.

I think you can do that well...

because you know all those names well by now.

Yes. FRANK L.: Irene, Stella.

FRANK E.: Joep Sertons, Esmee van Kampen and miss Unknown.

Yes.Miss Unknown. -I don't think it's a nice introduction.

DIONNE: It's a matter of remembering names...

communicate to the rest, come back.

Then we know where to sit.

ESMEE: Jamie Westland,Steven Brunswijk,Carolina Dijkhuizen...

Stefano Keizers, Frank Evenblij. -Right.

Super. -Esmee thinks: 'Huppetee...

I'm taking the lead. I'm the leader and I'm going for it.'

I like that. Esmee, it's in your hands.

You have to remember everything. We await what you will say.

ESMEE: I have a feeling we're going to stop soon.

Esmee,'you can do it.' ESMEE: 'Let's go,let's go.'

IRENE: Grab them. - Let's go, guys.

Nice already. -It's saying six names...

get twelve back. That's it.

Yes.Hey,Frank. -The middle one.

Esmee. Are you sitting there with Toine van Peperstraten?

ESMEE: No, I'm... -Stefano has to go in there.

Stephen here. -Stefano and Caroline have to go in there.

Jamie Westland. -Esmee, you have to be in this one.

carolina. ESMEE: Steven Brunswijk.

Take it easy.Who are you in the group?

It was a messy meeting. -I have to be in that one?

FRANK E.: Toine, you have to be in this one. -Stefano, Carolina. You have to be in this one.

I was in all states and I had said to myself:

"I'm taking it easy." But no. Of course I was going to scream.

Hey guys. -Hi.

Tell. FRANK L.: Talk loud.

There were some people hanging out of the windows of the train...

and they called everything. -Esme.

Coupe A must Babette... -At a certain point I indicated:

These six people have to go to compartment ONE.

Babette must be in AN. Dionne too. -Dionne, OK.

Dionne and Giel in ONE. - OK, Aran must be in ONE.

ESMEE: Aran, yes. -And Frank van der Lende has to be in ONE.

It all went chaotic, but still went smoothly.

FRANK E.: Have you seen me anywhere? TOINE: You have to go in three.

I like that. Such chaos that turns out well in the end.

Irene, you and me. We go in car two.

Right away.At the next stop. -ALSO.

Dionne,Giel,Aran. You must go to ONE.

A? - Joe, I don't know yet.

ESMEE: I forgot about Joep, but at least he shouldn't go to ONE.

So probably in two. Or not in three, because we were compartment three.

I passed it all on. -Carolina and I are going to three

Babette to ONE. -Robbie also to ONE.

Do you know yourself where to go? -No, but Toine says:

"If there's nothing there, you have to go to three."

Then you go to three? We have to go to ONE.

STEFANO: That's right, because then we'll be three by three.

FRANK L. Two kilos of silver, huh? FRANK E: That's not cat pee.

You know, the thing is, sure you want to win silver...

if you are later a Traitor or Faithful.

But you fight together for the silver.

As it is now, you have to split in two. STELLA: Yes.

Do I also have to in two.

And since the rest of the names haven't been mentioned...

I think you should put all four in three.

ORTAL: That's a lot. Four people in three.

All of us know where to go. Except me.

FRANK L: We have to go forward. You have to go back.

Suitcase, anyway.

Two minutes. - And turn off the kettle.

Whistling kettle must be turned off. Turn off the water. Yes, exactly.

ESMEE: Go, go, go. Come on, guys. You first.

First outside. Irene.

IRENE: Well, I'm out. Frankly, I had no idea.

I just thought: I have to go to a certain number. Of a car.

Is this two or not?

Give me that briefcase. -Come on, walk fast.

I have a heavy suitcase.

"Oh my gosh." But am I the first?

I went like crazy to that other platform.

Someone loved to lift the suitcase back in there.

I could have done it, but those steps of the past are really like that.

That's not what you have now, that you can easily get into it.

STELLA: Let's go. -This side.

The other Dionne.

In two.

GIEL: It's really hysterical. We only have two minutes.

Whose bag is this? We all met people...

of which I thought: You're in too. How nice.

But there is no time to greet each other, because you have to go on.

Hello.Are you also in ONE? ROBBIE: Yes.

Check to be sure.

ARAN: Dionne, come on. ESMEE: Guys, does Joep have to go to AN?

TOINE: Come on, Esmee. -I didn't even get...

whom I had passed. I thought, I'm going to two.

ESMEE: Joep's suitcase. -Giel, are you going?

FRANK E.: That all went well...

not organized, but still 'smooth'.

JAMIE: Look. New carriage. STEFANO: Sure.

FRANK E.: Let's check the pictures. Is it all right?

JAMIE: How nice, huh? CAROLINA: Super nice.

STEVEN: We're all complete, boys and girls.

Am I curious if... Yes, we certainly did well.

Dionne, we did well. -You don't want to know...

how I walked on those stones with that suitcase.

Well, that's a kick start right away. ARAN: Absolutely.

We did this well. -Yes.

He's right, isn't he? - We already have two kilograms of silver.

Two kilograms of silver.

FRANK E.: Well, I thought it was quite a lot of nice people.

We had a nice group. - Who were you with just then?

Babette van Veen. -Robbie from Editie NL.

Do we know if there are people who are good friends?

ESMEE: Yes, Babette and Joep. They are a married couple in 'Good Times'.

IRENE: And Stella we know as life-threatening...

STELLA: Writer. -Yes.

I'm working on a novel and I want to get some inspiration from you.

I want to investigate that interpersonal, that group dynamic.

And also how that is for me. How I relate to this.

I like that. This is what your next book is about.

Only in your book everyone actually dies ONE by ONE.

TIJL: Yes, yes, yes, yes.

Watch them go.

Hello. -Joehoe.

TIJL: 18 fresh candidates who are so brave...

for the most maddening...

most murderous game in our country .

They should have completed their first mission...

and they are all...

in the right car.

I'm about to meet them.

I am very curious what kind of meat we have in the cockpit.

FRANK E.: Look who we got there . Yeah, yeah.

Good afternooon. -I didn't expect you here.

Just a quick check. Sylvia Gersen.

Jamie Westland. -Present.

Steven Brunswick.

Caroline Dijkhuizen.

Stefano Keizers. -Here I am again.

TIJL: Frank Evenblij. -Present.

Car three is complete.

Katsjing . It won't lie on wagon three.

ORTAL: I see 75 years… ESMEE: Oh shhhh.

ORTAL: What? What then? IRENE: Oh, Jesus.

Wagon number two.

Wagon number two. - Hi, Tyle.

STELLA: Hello, Tyle. -Hi, Ty.

Toine van Peperstraten.Present.

Stella Bergsma.Ortal Friend.

Irene Moors. - Hi.

Joep Sertons.Esmee van Kampen.

Wagon two, complete. IRENE: A curl.

A curl. STELLA: That's money. That's cash.

ESMEE: Yes, guys. ORTAL: Two kilograms of silver.

I think it's a good start.

Good afternoon. Wagon number ONE.

Frank van der Lende. -Present.

Babette van Veen. Robbie Kammeijer. -Present.

Aran Bade. -Present.

Gil de Winter. -Yes, coincidentally.

Dionne Butcher. -Yes.

Last wagon also complete.

GIEL: Yes, nice. FRANK L.: Two kilograms of silver.

TIJL: If you feel my hand, you've been elected.

If you feel nothing, you are Faithful.

ORTAL: And then he walks past you and you don't feel anything.

And then he walks on the other side.

VO: 'The Traitors' is a high stakes physical and mental adventure.

The 18 brand new players immediately showed their best side.

Six kilos of silver to fuel the greed .

TIJL: Dear friends . Welcome to Kerkrade station.

I hope your train journey was nice and enjoyable.

The beginning has been made.

That is good news.

Six kilos of silver is already in the pot.

JAMIE: Six kilos earned. 100 percent of what we could get today.

I say, quite so.

TIJL: After this, the mood can change very quickly.

In fact, not everyone in this group will go on this adventure...

save to the end.

Many of you will be leaving the castle between six planks...

or, perhaps worse, tarred and feathered across the border...

be sent to Brabant.

It won't be long before I'm going to split this group into two.

It will be a group of Faithful. That will be the largest group.

And a group of Traitors will come.

Those Traitors have the power...

to kill one of the Faithful each night .

STEFANO: Tijl is doing his best to scare us...

and it's starting to work...

but intimidating texts only make me feel more like it.

You as a group have the opportunity every day...

to banish ONE person in the hope that that person is a Traitor.

Whoever lasts the longest and plays the game best...

can look forward to a pile of silver...

which can be up to 40 kilos.

JOEP: We have to take all the silver there is.

I think everyone should be fully committed to this.

I want all the silver that could be made...

rake in.

TIJL: To the castle for now.

I would like to say: Have fun.

But what I have to say is: Very strong.

See you soon. STELLA: Well, the tone is set. Nice.

On a roll.

ESMEE: Look how cozy this is. ORTAL: Here we go.

It's really starting now.

ESMEE: Look how nice.

IRENE: Just look how beautiful.

FRANK E.: It's really nice.

IRENE: I thought it was a magical moment.

Beautiful. Look how beautiful. I saw the castle and fire...

and like a castle should be in your mind at dusk.

GIEL: We're going in. ROBBIE: Is there a fireplace inside?

Not just outside? -I hope so.

JAMIE: When you see the castle, it's a moment of realization for you...

I participate in 'The Traitors'.

Home.

Oh, this is great. Can you play pool well?

JOEP: Good, good. You should never say that, but it's fun to do.

And darts? –Are you into the games?

FRANK L.: Sure. Shall we goose boards?

STELLA: Cheers to a new adventure.

DIONNE: For allowing us to be false.

ROBBIE: To a little cunning and trickery.

FRANK E.: Is it more difficult, do you think, to be Traitor?

I think it's easier because you have control.

However? If you are Traitor. –Well, this is not normal.

GIEL: It's your rules for sure. –ONE, two, three, four, whoopee.

I wonder if the dynamics will change in the future .

Sure. JOEP: I hope so.

I hope so. JAMIE: Way too cozy this.

We're having fun together, but we're here for a game.

FRANK L.: We can join forces.

That the three of us fight for each other.

Or do you want to wait for the rolls... It's nice to know in advance...

I completely agree. –The downside can be…

that one of us is a Traitor. Then you have stayed in the monkey.

Yes, then you have stayed in the monkey. -Yes.

I can sign my death warrant, but I 'd rather go down fighting...

than to be led like a sheep to the slaughter.

Think about it for a second. FRANK E.: Yes, good idea.

Can we say that now with these. –Well, great.

FRANK E.: I thought it was strange, because I had no intention of doing that.

Somehow something came up there.

Cheers. –Shall I get a drink?

GIEL: For me, such an appointment is worth something.

You need people around you in the beginning.

Otherwise you'll be the next day...

VO: The gate is closed.

From now on, the 18 players cannot escape this psychological adventure .

It is high time to convene the Council.

ORTAL: OK, now it really starts. We can't go back from here...

and everything will be different.

CAROLINA: I felt like my heart was beating out of my chest.

FRANK L.: This is the moment we've all been looking forward to.

TOINE: It's going to happen now.

IRENE: Everyone was quiet, sat down...

and had to look: OK, where are we? So this is him.

This is that table, this is where it's going to happen.

People are decided here.

BABETTE: Everyone is looking at each other all the time.

Everyone is in their head and constantly trying..

to check if they see something strange in someone.

FRANK L.: I take a good look around. I take it in, I smell...

I taste. Let the game begin.

TIJL: This is the Council Chamber.

And you sit at the Round Table.

The game continues 24 hours a day.

But this is where the difference can be made.

It's also where the game really starts.

You can stare at the treasure here every day...

that you can take home with you.

That's how big the silver pot can get.

Six kilos are already in your possession.

It will be a while and then I will point out the Traitors.

Two Traitors.

Or three...

four...

five.

I think four or five right at the beginning is a lot.

But yes, anything is possible in this game.

TIJL: Immediately after arrival I spoke to you all...

in the presence of the silver and I have asked you the question...

for what purpose you have come to Castle Erenstein.

I must say that the outcome of the talks makes me fear...

in the future.

O. – Do you see yourself as a Traitor…

or do you see yourself as a Faithful?

I am a Traitor. –No, I am a Faithful.

That it's legal to screw anyone seems crazy to me.

TIJL: When this is in front of you, do you think...

in sight of the finish line: 'I'm going to share this.'

It depends who's sitting in front of me.

When I think: You go for loyalty.

Then I will betray for sure.

I can imagine lying to these people a little .

I would kill to be a Traitor.

I have to say that honestly, because then the game really gets fun.

As soon as we start playing the game. Yeah duh.

I want to seek out the dark.

Vicious fanaticism.

That is what I was able to distill from this group.

That's why it's time we split you in two.

Soon you will close your eyes...

and point out the Traitors.

I do this by placing a hand on the shoulder.

If you feel that hand, you are a Traitor.

If you feel nothing, then you are Faithful.

The question is...

Who is doomed? The Faithful...

who will be killed one by one by the Traitors .

Or the Traitors...

who must lie and deceive an infinite time.

Until they can no longer look at themselves in the mirror.

I'm going to ask you all to close your eyes.

It will start.

STEFANO: It's never been so hard to close my eyes.

Even when I close my eyes I think : I shouldn't screw this up.

Keep your eyes really closed.

If you feel my hand, you've been elected.

If you feel nothing, you are Faithful.

STEVEN: I notice in myself that every time he walks past me...

That scares me, because I don't want to be a Traitor.

FRANK E.: I doubted at one point whether I had felt it or not.

A lot goes through your mind at a time like this.

ORTAL: Then he walks past you and you don't feel anything.

Then he walks on the other side.

Then all of a sudden I felt his hand on my shoulder.

Then I thought: No, I am a Traitor.

Fucking exciting. Really cool.

STEFANO: It happens. Ty touches me.

Yes, yes, yes. I am a Traitor.

Meanwhile, my heart starts beating in my throat.

I can feel my whole jacket moving.

I think: Everyone is going to get this.

JAMIE: Then all of a sudden you feel that hand.

Then you feel something like: Intense, but then again not.

Will my heart get into my throat? No, not either.

Oh, yes. I am a Traitor.

TILE: Good.

I now address the Traitors alone and alone.

I'll count down from three to zero.

At zero, the Traitors open, and only the Traitors...

their eyes for that one look of understanding.

Three...

two...

A.

STEFANO: I open my eyes and I immediately see...

that Jamie and Ortal also have their eyes open.

ORTAL: Look, look, look. Did I miss anyone?

No, I didn't miss anyone.

Super happy with my fellow Traitors. Stefano has his head on.

I think Jamie is very innocent and that's his strength.

Then I see those penetrating eyes.

Stefano Keizers. I think: OK.

I think this is a very good trio.

I really think so.

TIJL: Traitors, you close your eyes again.

Now the whole group...

Three...

two...

A.

Just look around you. Where is that innocence?

Where is that purity?

IRENE: It's crazy right away.

Then you suddenly realize that everyone is suspicious...

but everyone thinks you're suspicious too.

TIJL: See anything? Another look? Suspicious smile?

FRANK L.: I open my eyes and I look at Esmee.

I see...

a tight mouth, while she is giggle the giggle all the time.

So I think: Hela, hela, hola. What happened here?

TOINE: I look at Frank Evenblij and I see a rigidity in Frank.

A feeling of: I shouldn't show anything , I shouldn't do anything for a while.

ESMEE: We have a lot to discuss. TIJL: Well, dear friends.

You have plenty to discuss.

Tonight we have a delicious dinner planned for you.

And if possible, I'd like to see you all there.

ONE more thing.

In time many of you will be killed or exiled.

Then there are three left.

If you are in the majority, you decide together how to collect the silver pot...

that you all fill, are going to divide.

Either way, it's important to support each other.

I wish you a lot of wisdom, strength, but above all 'happy hunting'.

It has begun. IRENE: Different story this.

STEVEN: It also suddenly feels different. SYLVIA: Very different.

STEVEN: The fun... It's not gone, but it's...

There are a few seamstresses in between. That's crazy.

IRENE: I think you're pretty panicked right now.

You're just saying, "Yeah, ooh, ah."

I think: This is not right. You are draining.

STEVEN: I always talk a lot. – Did you realize…

that he was standing to the right of my chair? -Yes I have..

To my right? There sat Sylvia, Stefano and Dionne.

There he stopped.

It's one of those three.

I looked at Stefano for half a minute...

and every muscle in Stefano's face moved.

Under his lips, his nostrils, under his eyes.

Every muscle twitched.

Or that was excitement of him joining the game.

Is it fear, because he knows what role he has now?

I'm bursting my shirt here.

Ah, man. I totally hit... - Are you okay?

Yes, I really got a thump in my throat. -Yes, me too.

A whole lot is happening next to me, because Stefano is very nervous.

His face trembled. He found it super exciting.

That's the first thing I noticed.

GIEL: A weight was lifted from my shoulders. I am a Faithful.

I don't have to put on a play.

I have to go expose the Traitors .

STEFANO: We have to play flawlessly from now on.

Be sharp all day long. There is no other option.

If one of us falls, it can happen very quickly.

ORTAL: Well, how did you like it? -I have a feeling about people.

For example Stefano. I don't expect him to be a good Traitor.

Not or yes? - No, because he's too sweet.

And maybe a flapper. -Oh yeah.

SYLVIA: I have some people I have my doubts about.

I trust myself and I trust Stefano.

I already love that very much.

You have a stoic face.

You are a constant suspect . You really are .

I heard that sleeve go somewhere. That I think: Where? Left? Right?

GIEL: You don't know how many Traitors there are.

DIONNE: I don't know.

I'm guessing four. -Yeah, four, huh?

STEFANO: They would have said otherwise.

GIEL: That would mean there's one in here right now.

He stands with his hand against the wall.

Leans nicely.

They don't stand together now. I know that for sure.

JOEP: Why do you think that? -They're not going to sit together now.

JOEP: No? – No, I don't think that's smart.

Would you visit each other immediately? –No, you just made eye contact.

I think you look at each other for a moment...

And just like that: Hey. How are you?

DIONNE: Maybe that, but at most that.

JAMIE: I've heard from several people ...

an older guard, like Joep, who are more irritated by someone busy.

It would be nice for the peace in the group if they...

STELLA: Who are we talking about here? –About Steven. He's high in his...

STELLA: Irene also said to him: You are very busy.

ARAN: That was right after that.

ROBBIE: Who opened their mouth first?

JAMIE: That was Steven and then Sylvia.

ARAN: Irene. Irene also immediately said: Oh, how exciting this.

STELLA: I wouldn't be surprised if Irene is a Traitor.

Me neither. –Could she?

Very much. One hundred thousand percent. –I think she could do well.

IRENE: Do you suspect me yet ? I'm just going to ask.

ORTAL: I think you're a nice, good Traitor.

I can say it isn't. That's what I say and that's true.

You're there, but I also have my doubts about you.

Who? Babette? -Yes.

But I do like you. BABETTE: Irene is all the time...

been in the background and now she is much more present.

She goes for the man.

I feel a clear change of energy in her.

Is this a good place? -I do not know...

just quick. She'll be right back. I don't trust Sylvia at all.

DIONNE: She wants to convince everyone it's not her.

She yells that all the time.

I sat next to her and the first thing she said was:

"I trust you completely." Within three seconds.

OK.

My instinct says: I want to say that back.

Because she says something nice, but I couldn't get it out of my mouth.

I noticed that... Anyway, let's get some air.

FRANK E. There's someone coming down the stairs.

Do you already have someone in mind that you suspect?

I find it very difficult. – It's hard to say.

The question is rather who can I trust.

At first I thought: I trust Steven.

But suddenly I don't trust him at all anymore.

STEFANO: What did he do? –I don't know. I think he's so different.

I also find Irene so different all of a sudden. -Yes.

DIONNE: Yes, Irene is running a campaign .

SYLVIA: She's really running a campaign. She's all in.

She is blood fanatic. WHISPERS: I suspect Irene.

I find her striking. –I cannot deny it.

I don't think it's you.

That's nice. Do you doubt me?

I do not know it either. Trust me, I really can't lie.

I really can't.

STEFANO: You don't want to know how different this group has suddenly become.

What I especially like is how many Faithfuls immediately become suspicious.

As if they are doing their best to keep the Traitors unknown.

I feel like trusting you, let me put it this way.

I also feel like trusting you. So far I trust you.

Hey. -Hey.

You were in the basement in the beginning... –Joep, I can't get any height from you.

DIONNE: No, indeed.

JOEP: Then you have to keep me in it to gain altitude.

I find it difficult. Yes.

Do you already have suspects? -Yes, of course.

Everyone has suspects. -I think it's...

I jumped in too fanatically here .

Jumped in too fanatically? -Yeah, I came out and I thought...

'Nice, I listen everywhere and drop names everywhere.'

I get it back like a boomerang, because everyone suspects me now.

So what should I do to make it right?

I'm always talkative. I talk a lot. ORTAL: Just be yourself.

I like testing my jokes. STELLA: Is it bad to talk a lot?

I think that's not so bad. - That could be your downfall.

IRENE: Apparently. ORTAL: You'd be a really good one.

STELLA: Wasn't it... -I'm not going to say anything more about it...

because I'm digging my own grave. Really.

I would like to say one more line. -Why did you suspect...

I think Babette is suspicious... STELLA: I thought Toine was suspicious.

Joe is always like that.

STEVEN: Bumps, Irene. Sodeju.'Cannot miss that.'

VO: In the east wing of the castle, secluded from the rest...

a small group put their heads together...

to make plans for the Round Table.

Somewhat premature, because I have a completely different surprise later...

in store for them.

Who do we think is the strongest player to go?

FRANK E.: Do you know what the problem is? In the beginning you want to stay in it.

Then you choose someone at random.

Someone has to get out and that's the motivation.

That makes it less personal . That makes it complicated.

FRANK L.: Who do we find strong? STEFANO: Take Steven for example.

He is able to pull the group towards himself.

ESMEE: Me too. I think he likes this game too much...

which makes him rub shoulders with everyone .

STEFANO: So that could be one to...

FRANK E.: If you do that with more people and we support that...

FRANK L.: Now you don't know yet, but are we going to spread this?

ESMEE: I'm for. I'm sure Jamie would come along.

Jamie just started talking about Steven himself, for five minutes.

Aran would go too. Irene has a soft spot for me...

so I could throw that in too. -I don't quite trust Irene yet.

ESMEE: No, but Irene is also a strong player.

You shouldn't underestimate her.

STEFANO: So let's not randomly say to everyone...

FRANK E.: No, I wouldn't either. –So what are we going to do, Frank?

Steven.

I'm already finding it difficult.

Do you understand? Because I think it's stupid too.

BABETTE WHISPERS Carolina, will you close the door?

Listen. I thought I need to talk to you.

We had... I feel like we're on the same page.

Let's meet... This is a bond.

Are we going to get someone else there? –I do have an idea.

I have an idea too. Esmee. -Yes.

I also think she would make a good Traitor candidate.

I think so too. -I do not care.

Shall I try to do it now? -Yes.

CAROLINA: I know Esmee. I trust Esme.

'Still', this is 'The Traitors'.

But Esmee is one of the few people I know well.

BABETTE: We have a bond. -OK.

Do you want to join our bond? -Because she called your name...

and i thought of you too.

But I'm going to be honest.

I thought you were suspicious. -I thought you were suspicious too...

but we don't mind if you are a Traitor...

if you don't stab our backs yet.

I can help you. I am not a Traitor.

Say that again, looking at me.

I am not a Traitor. -And you?

I am not a Traitor. -I'm not a Traitor either.

CAROLINA: We agree: This is a bond 'till the end.

VO: It's barely been an hour since I pointed out the Traitors...

and yet the castle is already buzzing with suspicions...

conspiracies and collusion .

It's time to invite the group to dinner...

and again bring two silver bars into play.

"Off we go." -Yes. Where are we going?

Exciting. -We're on our way. And where to?

A mission? –But what are we going to do?

FRANK L.: What are you hoping for? – Nice in a cafe.

Good food.

Who then? -Carolina.

BABETTE: Many people suspect Ortal, but I don't see it that way either.

Yes, I have that too. –It could be.

Ortal, yes. -Look, you know what the thing is...

when you act? There comes a time, exhaustion...

then you can't be anything but yourself.

But so does Ortal. -I?

Why? –Because you are such a person…

that you don't suspect, so that you could.

No, it's not me. -Yes Yes.

GIEL: I have n't spoken to Stella much.

She is writing a book about this.

People who appear on a reality TV show...

I don't feel like getting into that book .

No, nobody. Get out.

ROBBIE: Then they may be different names , but they know who Giel is.

ARAN: That's a reason to vote her out.

I don't feel like getting into that book . Get out.

Chic, say.

ORTAL: We arrive with temperament .

ESMEE: Kind of like that. –You drive straight into the moat.

JOEP: Can I take you? –Chateau Joep.

JOEP: Come on. – Well, Joep, how beautiful. How luxurious.

ARAN: Wow. –No.Look.

ARAN: Fat chic, say.

We get a glass of prosecco in hand in a beautiful cave.

How great does this look. -Thank you.

JOEP: I loved it. I loved it so much.

Are we going to eat already? -Yes.

This looks like a candy cane.

Only you know: It's 'The Traitors'.

So there must be a catch in the grass.

ARAN: Suddenly Tijl appears behind us in a corner.

Everyone is called away ONE by ONE to Tijl.

TILE: Carolina. ARAN: Then things go wild in the group.

Everyone wants to know what is being discussed there. Why?

TIJL: If you ask people about their biggest fear...

then stands on two fear of death.

Do you have any idea what's on ONE?

CAROLINA: I mentioned something moronic, which was spiders.

No. Oddly enough, that 's public speaking.

So it turns out that 's public speaking.

Funnily enough, speaking in public.

Oh, is that on ONE? -Yes.

Oh, are you serious? -Yes.

I didn't believe that one bit. I didn't believe it.

Well, speaking in public.

That is my biggest fear.

That's why I want to ask you to, later when everyone is at the table...

take the floor and say something to your fellow candidates.

It doesn't matter what. Your own story, your own words.

OK. -Two minutes?

OK, and does everyone have that job? Or will this...

Is this an interview, Giel? -No.

This is information. I have your name here on a nice piece of wood.

It's a chain. You can take that with you.

You will hear later what the purpose of this is .

Take it with you. You will hear more about it soon.

Tijl asked everyone separately.

In hindsight I wonder why he spoke to us separately...

because as far as I know everyone had the same assignment.

Hai. – Hey, Jamie.

I'm going to keep it exactly as long as the other candidates...

so I'll go a little faster, because you'll get more information.

I've asked everyone to take the floor later...

and say something to the rest of the group for two minutes.

This is very important, what I am about to say.

If you and your fellow Traitors during ONE corridor...

sitting right next to each other. If that works...

two extra kilos of silver goes into the pot.

Chaos in my head. I think: Hey, what?

STYLE: All Traitors ONE corridor directly next to each other.

That is your assignment. The other two Traitors also receive that information.

I think it's a difficult mission, because if there's not three of us...

sitting next to each other, we have to play a weird trick...

to make it succeed.

You are now going to take an amulet and then you immediately walk back.

What have I remembered? Did he say something about a speech?

It went a little fast. – Were you a little overwhelmed?

Yes, really. Shit.

We need to speak. -Quiet.

I'm not quite sure what the point is.

So if he does… –Oh, nice.

My brain could n't handle it today because so much has happened.

GIEL: I feel like there are people in the group...

who had to do something else. Maybe Ty...

given another assignment to a Traitor .

Oh wait. Wait a minute.

With me he said ONE of the courses, so if it's three courses...

Should we, if the three of us have to give a speech...

You have to watch your words. I keep thinking...

Shut your mouth. –Faithful and Traitors.

You can sit at the table. It is a free layout. Sit where you want.

Out of the corner of my eye I see Jamie hanging his coat on a chair.

Like a pool tourist claiming his spot.

That's good, because that's a sign for Ortal and me to take action.

ORTAL: I'd like to be in the middle of the table. Clever work on the jacket.

I have to give that to him. Cheers.

STEFANO: Come on. JAMIE: Nice.

BABETTE I'll soon lose him.

Dear friends.

This is the place to speak .

Who can I give the floor first?

I heard we had to do that and then I immediately thought:

I hope I can be first. Ladies and gentlemen.

Welcome here in my house.

I'm glad we can be together again after that nasty corona period.

Glad all my exes are here. -Hi honey.

Also your current girlfriend.

Glad the witnesses to my wedding are all here.

So I am one of those people who finds this terrifying.

I might even rather die. -You can do this, honey.

OK.

Fellow Faithfuls, some Traitors.

First of all, how nice to be a part of this.

With 17 Dutch celebrities and ONE drummer.

Hallelujah, grass and semen.

Everything... I can't remember my lines.

I immediately forgot my text, because I was tense anyway.

Hallelujah, grass and semen. Everything blows.

BABETTE: What is she doing? Oh, it's a poem.

Would she have written it herself? A poem about sperm?

About who then? Whose sperm is that about?

That's how it starts in my head and then I'm 'lost'.

Then I think: That minute is over for a while.

Everything is blooming and ripe. The wind blows in our hair.

And what I like best. You say my name when I suck you.

IRENE: Wait a minute. What literary work is this from?

From her own literary work. STELLA: From my own literary work.

I found people's reactions were mixed

They liked it, but also had something of…

"What a strange bitch this is."

If you think: 'It's getting boring.' Then you must bless it.

IRENE: That's kind of it. -Oh, that's it.

My tactic is to, like Joep Sertons, very often...

theatrical... pauses... dropping.

STEVEN: Is that Joep? ARAN: What I like about the job...

what I do at 'Boulevard' is that I always listen...

to your stories and now I am part of it myself.

STEVEN: At first I was thinking about what jokes to tell.

Two minutes full, I do easily.

Then I thought: No. TILE: Steven.

I wanted to deliver a message.

Unfortunately, my mother passed away on November 3 last year.

I am proud of what I have achieved...

and what I want to pass on to... You all know.

You can achieve anything you want as long as you work hard for it.

When I stood at the door as a catering porter, I said:

'I would like to become a comedian.' Then many people said:

“Steven, put it out of your mind. That is reserved for few people.'

In corona time I have not been one to complain...

about the measures...

even though my mother passed away. Then I always get emotional.

Life sucks, life isn't always easy.

We lose people, but all those people we lose...

would all like us to get on with our lives...

stay happy and stay with friends.

I really liked Steven's speech .

This was a vulnerable side of him that I hadn't seen yet.

and which is also 'tricky' to show.

I'm a radio maker at 3FM and that's why I want to make radio briefly...

in this minute and a half. I think of a shape...

that I'm going to make radio. I like that.

That's my favorite thing in the world.

So I want to ask you to close your eyes.

We're used to that by now . Close your eyes. Nothing crazy is going to happen.

You too, Joep. I want you to listen to what you hear.

Because sound sometimes says... You too, Sylvia. Close your eyes.

SYLVIA: I almost felt that hand on my shoulder again.

DIONNE: Sylvia had just lost herself a bit.

I remembered that one.

When you hear this... TAP TO WINE GLASS

do you fancy a drink.

But when you hear this...

Sinterklaas on his white horse.

Amerigo or what is his name these days? -Ozo fast.

Ozosnel.

Frank L. I think you've been given another assignment.

Why did you deliberately ask to close your eyes.

Lovely people.

To me, there is something special going on.

I thought: A good moment to...

to attract extra love to me.

Ever since I got on the train, I feel an incredible love.

That means a lot to me.

That worked very well. People even get emotional.

There is indeed far too much evil in this world.

It would be nice if we could love each other a little more.

BABETTE: Jamie said at the beginning of the evening:

"I heard something about having to say something at a certain hallway."

"Fuck you." Are you going to do this now? Then I'll kill you tonight.

If you do this now, I'll kick you out tonight.

Dear people, dear people. SYLVIA: What's happening. I won again...

Also in the back, Joep, Sylvia.

This is a short break for a spicy intermediate dish.

Grab your amulets.

STELLA: I've been waiting for it. -This is going to be short and sweet.

Who starts?

Yes that's OK. TIJL: Yes? OK.

Stella, you can have your amulet...

by letting me hang around the neck of someone you think:

"That's a Traitor."

STELLA: Oh.

JAMIE: 'Holy shit.'

TIJL: We're short on time. -Toine.

TIJL: Toine. ESMEE: Well, that's fast.

TIJL: Your turn. I'll also pass it on to my neighbor, Aran.

TILE: Aran.

I give mine to Joep. -Why does everyone give it to the one next to them?

SYLVIA: Joep gives it back to me. TIJL: Well, Joe.

JOEP: Great. Could you give this to Frank Evenblij?

TIJL: Absolutely. -I didn't like that very much.

I thought: Why, Joe?

What have I done to you that makes you see me as a Traitor?

Give this to Joep Sertons.

Yes, refunded in kind. TILE: Sylvia.

Yes? Oh, wait. Can I?

TILE: No. -Just say it.

OK, you, Stella.

ORTAL : 'Take one for the team',Stella.

TIJL: Please, Stella.Esmee.

ESMEE: Aaron. -Yeah, dude. Go ahead.

TIJL: Steven, I'm coming to you.

STEVEN: Stella. -O.

STEVEN: Sorry.

TILE: Dionne. -Sylvia.

TIJL: Sylvia.Look.Ortal.

I say...

Babette. TILE: Babette.

There you are. -Oops.

TILE: Jamie. -Then I thought: You know what I'm doing?

I do it to her too. Sorry, baby.

BABETTE: Really? ORTAL: Somehow I like it...

that Jamie also gives the necklace to Babette and on the other hand I think:

Is that really smart, Jamie?

TIJL: Stefano Keizers.

Robbie.

ROBBIE: Really? Stefano. ESMEE: Totally offended.

STEFANO: As I expected, he feels it through.

Robbie is such a sweet boy. He ca n't handle those accusations.

That's good to know, because I can do that at a later stage...

pressure, I think.

TILE: Irene. -Actually, I have no idea.

We all play bluff poker.

Gill.

BABETTE: Jill?

Irene. -Is he going back to Irene?

TILE: Carolina. -Shit. Am I really going to do a suspicion?

Am I going to say openly who I'm on or am I going to randomly go on someone.

Stella.

ESMEE: Suppose she is. TILE: Robbie.

Then Stella already had some necklaces and I thought:

"I'm not going to show the back of my tongue."

'No way' that I'm going to tell who I suspect.

It's really hard for me to point someone out.

Then I thought: Walk to Stella one more time.

FRANK L.: It suits you. -Maybe I'm so exiled.

Four. -Four already? Oh dear.

Babette. -Yes, Stella.

I did not like it. I didn't expect it at all.

Really not expected.

But it happened.

It was a strange sensation. I had all...

not feeling that people suspected me all day.

Suddenly everyone, a number of people, started calling my name.

I give it to Aran. -Aran.

ARAN: Then I thought, I have three. What does this say?

Why? Is it a feint of people?

Is it to make me suspicious? TIJL: It starts...

in this loving and joyful group.

Most of everyone.

I had a whole forest of wood in front of the door.

TIJL: Because you were absorbed in each other's wonderful stories...

and because of this commotion have lost sight of things...

FRANK L.: The silver bars. -You have...

recently earned two silver bars. Congratulations.

DIONNE: Why did we have to make a speech?

A few people probably had a different assignment.

It can't be that we earned silver...

by talking to a group for two minutes .

TIJL: So nice. A round of applause and no one knows why.

IRENE: This program is not about who can give the best speech...

because I don't think anyone is interested in that.

Something else was going on and I'm breaking my head over it.

ESMEE: He didn't say how much we could make tonight.

JOEP: That's absolutely true. DIONNE: Why are there two rods?

IRENE: What did we miss? We missed something.

That irritates me. We missed something.

DIONNE: Does it have to do with the number of chains that have been laid correctly?

We have two silver bars, but why?

BABETTE: Jamie said at the beginning of the evening:

"I heard something about having to say something at a certain hallway."

Yes, that was a small mistake on my part.

Really? - I didn't hear that.

Has anyone else heard that at one point...

No, I wanted to know when I was going to give a speech.

BABETTE: Yes, I mean speech.

JAMIE: Fuck you. Go do this now, because I'll kill you tonight.

If you do this now, I'll kick you out tonight.

I thought: Then I can sit down. Then I'm done with it.

So is it at a certain hallway?

You were also unsure about what Tijl had told you?

JAMIE: I was unsure about my speech, but it happened so fast.

'I can't handle that.'

I don't believe Tyle told me...

that I had to do something at a specific moment .

Only that I had to speak for two minutes.

I didn't want to make a mistake. I think I did well.

We really have to play flawlessly from now on.

Be sharp all day long. There is no other option.

If one of us falls, it can suddenly happen very quickly.

Here we go again. STEFANO: Towards the night.

I find that night already exciting.

We have earned two bars of silver ...

and we have no idea what we did right.

Could we have made more silver or was it just two,

STEFANO: Two silver bars for an entire job doesn't seem like much to me.

For an entire evening. -I want to know why...

Everyone is addressed individually.

Maybe a few people have been on a different assignment.

That's a very smart... - A few people have been given a different assignment.

Sure. -That has to be.

GIEL: I thought it was said that someone had to give a speech in a hallway.

That was called at the end. -But I don't know.

Something about Jamie. ORTAL: I think he said it.

That he asked: 'Does that have to be done during a certain course?' I do not know.

Such was the explanation.

STEFANO: Although my general feeling about today is good...

I think I have two strong fellow Traitors on my side.

But I have to admit Jamie made a stupid mistake.

What if we're all right about Stella being a Traitor?

How do the Traitors react to this?

Then you also get tension within the Traitor Group.

Suppose there are three or four of them.

They're together tonight.

Stella may be among them. Then it is said:

"Stella you're under suspicion." STEFANO: They get angry.

Good detective work is being done here.

I hear so many clever things.

I don't know how I'm in the group. I think I'm a danger.

That could also kill you.

I wouldn't be surprised if I didn't survive the night either.

That I will be killed.

STEFANO: I think anyone who doesn't have a pendant...

is in the danger zone. -Do you think?

Anyone without a pendant...

Isn't suspected enough for a Traitor to think:

"We can do something with that."

That could be a tactical choice .

No, what I think. If Stella is gone tomorrow...

the Traitors think that's a good idea, I think.

Then it is a collective decision that someone has to leave.

You're not going to kill someone who will soon be banished.

STEFANO: Exactly. -You keep it in.

STEFANO: That would be a stupid thing to do. -Can also.

Stella is a crazy girl, but she's not a Traitor. I think.

Can't say it bothers me much...

except I didn't expect it.

I then think: Would people not like me ? But further.

A lot can happen in the meantime.

That's true, but there's work to be done on your end.

What should I do then? -I do not know.

Guest. -I don't know. I don't know.

Individuals. -There's work to be done.

This is a function call. -Funny.

The only thing that scares me about that is that people think...

that I'm unpopular and they can kill me tonight.

SYLVIA: It would be very 'obvious' if they killed you.

You're a prime suspect, so that would be stupid.

Is that stupid? JAMIE: Yeah, you're a prime suspect.

If you think about it, that's not smart. -No?

No not at all. STELLA: What does this say?

Do I need to do something with this? Maybe if I want to continue in the game.

Maybe I'll be killed tonight. *Hello, darkness, my old friend.*

*I've come to talk to you again*

TIJL: Nothing is more difficult than killing a friend.

With that feeling, the Traitors will enter the turret tonight.

That's where Ortal, Stefano and Jamie...

the brand new Traitors, choose their first victim.

There they begin their bloody crusade.

STEFANO: I walk to the conclave with a burning sensation.

It just took and it just took.

Now we can finally talk to each other.

Total liberation.

So. ORTAL: Guys.

ORTAL: Now is the time to finally join my fellow Traitors...

We are mean.

Just chatting and that feels very nice.

We're fucking good.

I was glad none of the three of us got those suspicions.

At that game at the table.

That may also mean that they are still keeping it to themselves.

I don't dare to trust it yet. -Nobody played fair.

That's what they said. -I felt strong...

so the three of us at the table.

End of day ONE and then all three without such a chain.

I am very happy with my fellow Traitors.

I think they're doing great. If I were a Faithful...

Pfoe. Then you have a difficult assignment for the three of us.

STEFANO: I recommend infiltrating as many leagues as possible.

I don't know if I should do bonds. I play it ignorant.

Play it the way you like it.

JAMIE: I'm supposed to be confused and I'm really excited.

A happy, playful labrador: Oh, nice.

Be careful in that, because there was a short moment at the table.

Some people had heard of you...

that you had to do something between courses .

STEFANO: That was our assignment. -Ooh, that was tricky.

Did you spoil yourself? -Yeah, a little bit. That sucked.

I saw you turning red and I thought, I'm looking the other way.

So that you were soon no longer red. -Giel realized it too.

Yeah, that sucked.

Who are we going to kill?

I want to make a proposal for that.

At first in theory. ORTAL: I'm curious.

As far as I'm concerned, we need to make sure that we all...

who thinks independently , works it out as quickly as possible.

What I'm most afraid of...

is that at the Round Table someone suddenly comes up with a good idea...

with which he or she gets the whole group on board.

There are a number of individual thinkers.

They can suddenly realize something. -Yes.

The people who go along more with each other or are still anxious about it...

we can still use.

Then I know someone. That's Joep.

Only there is ONE thing with Joep... -Joep trusts me.

Joep is not good in the group. Do you see Joep getting the group with him?

People suspect him a little and find him vague.

The ones I had in mind were Radio Frank...

but no one suspects him.

I think Gil is a good one. Giel fits well in the group.

It can easily get people. - Good one, for what? to keep it?

To kill. -Real?

Sure. -Can I just... Think aloud...

What we think about this. You vote for Babette with your necklace.

You think she's suspicious. I think: I'm coming.

The two of us suspect her. What if she gets killed tonight?

One thing is certain. Blood must flow tonight...

and it will happen anyway.
