- PAUL HENRY: A group of complete strangers from across New Zealand

have arrived at this isolated lodge

to play the game of a lifetime

with the ultimate aim of winning up to $70,000.

Hidden amongst them, though, are the traitors,

who will each night secretly murder their fellow players,

eliminating them from the game.

It's up to the surviving players to work out who the traitors are...

- I really trust that guy.

- I'm not making this up.

- ...and banish them.

- See you in hell!

- Because if a traitor remains undetected,

they take home all the money.

Previously —

three traitors were chosen...

- You kind of feel powerful in a way, because you have control.

- ...and early suspicions started flying.

- Robbie is my number-one suspect.

That's the psychic ability that's coming through.

- He's gotta watch for slip-ups, I think.

- It's all a bit tense, eh?

- The players began building the prize fund...

Aren't you clever?

...and the traitors conspired to murder their first victim.

- Brooke,

Dylan,

or Kimberly.

All right, I think we've got a decision.

WHISPERS: Ooh, bring it on.

- Last night the traitors committed their first murder.

But which faithful didn't make it through the night?

(BOTH GASP)

- We're the first! - (LAUGHS)

- LAUGHS: How exciting.

Oh my God. - I'm starving, man.

- Let's sit right opposite the door.

- Walking to breakfast, I'm feeling pretty good.

My focus is to be surprised, but not too surprised.

- (EXHALES SHARPLY) - Oh my gosh. How did you sleep? - I slept like a log.

- With Justine, I managed to say a few things

or just act in a certain way where I feel that she trusts me more now.

Like, I was kind of, like, wondering, like, you know, if you get murdered,

do you get murdered at the night, or do they let you sleep,

and they wake up in the morning? (LAUGHS) - I don't know.

- So that was quite valuable just-her-and-I time.

- I feel bad for whoever didn't make it.

(TENSE MUSIC)

(GASPS)

(ALL CHEER)

- Morena.

How's it going?

- This game got a lot more real today.

That's your crew. That's your crew. We made it.

For me, I have to look at people with a different set of eyes.

Like, people might be up to something.

- Yes, we made it. - Sup?

- And now it's like there's traitors in the room, which is uncomfortable.

- Our photos are up! - I know. (ALL LAUGH)

- It's actually quite good in terms of everyone's photos. I have to go, 'Hmm.'

That's what we've been doing looking at the photos.

- Relax a minute, mate.

- The crazy thing about this game and having no contact with the outside world

is that you are just immersed, you know.

OK, who's gonna be next?

At night time, you go back to your room, you think about the game.

You wake up in the morning, you think about the game.

I'm gonna try and keep my emotions in check and be calm. That's what I'm gonna try and do.

Good luck.

(ALL CHEER, APPLAUD)

(DRAMATIC MUSIC)

- (LAUGHS)

So as we well know, I'm a faithful, unfortunately.

I have to survive.

The traitors have the villainous opportunity

to wipe me out — and I don't want that to happen.

- The other thing about this morning is that the traitors now know who each other are.

- Or not.

- No, they will be.

(ALL LAUGH)

- Could I suggest those two, maybe? (LAUGHS)

- We solved it (!)

(ALL CHEER, APPLAUD)

- What a great bunch!

What a good bunch!

Hey, oh!

- I am so relieved when I get to walk in through that door.

My hands were shaking when I got in there for maybe 10 minutes.

I was so, so excited that I get to be part of the game.

Oh my God, are we the last? - No, no. - No.

(ALL CHEER, APPLAUD)

- Welcome!

- I was nervous,

because my face would have told it all,

but I do believe that I can hold up this lie.

I've done it my whole life, being a dancer;

I've had to put my game face on.

- Do we reckon they've taken Brooke, because he's outspoken?

But then everything that he said yesterday was off the mark.

- What I hope is that I hope they haven't taken Matt.

(ALL AGREE)

- That would be rude! - That'd stink.

(ALL CHEER, APPLAUD)

- Oh, Kimberly!

- Is everybody else here? - No, Kimberly and Dylan.

Hi!

- Kimberly and Dylan. - Yeah, Kimberly and Dylan.

I didn't sleep at all last night,

and this whole thing is just messing with my head.

That was one of the worst 10 hours of my life.

I have no idea what's happening,

who is a traitor,

and I was pretty sure I would be murdered last night.

- You've got gut instincts. OK, who do I reckon's the traitor? - Who do you reckon?

- Well...

I can't really say.

- Oh, behind you?

- It feels kind of bad, cos, you know, our job is we've got to find that friggin'— a friggin' traitor.

Because I would really hate it tonight if we voted off someone who wasn't.

- I'm suspicious about Darth Vanda,

because she hides in plain sight.

Pain au chocolat?

- Oh, merci.

- She'd be a great traitor.

- Fill me in. So, is everybody here but Kimberly and Dylan? - Yeah.

- Wow.

I bet she didn't— she didn't see that coming. - (CHUCKLES) Or she did.

- Dylan was under the radar for me. - Dylan really wants to play this game.

Like, he's super keen. - Yeah.

He's a threat, a threat, to be sure. - Yeah.

- I reckon it's Kimberly, gone.

(DRAMATIC MUSIC)

(ALL GASP, CHEER)

(SHIMMERING, MYSTERIOUS MUSIC)

- While we're having breakfast, the last people that hadn't turned up,

they were Dylan

and Kimberly.

- What's your prediction? Who's the, um...

Who's gonna come through.

- I think— I think it's Kimberly.

(TENSE MUSIC)

(ALL GASP, CHEER)

- They killed the clairvoyant. - Yeah, clairvoyant!

- Witchcraft. (CHEERING)

- Who's not here? - Kimberly.

- Oh wow!

(OMINOUS MUSIC)

- So who are we going to murder?

- That's the big question.

- I still think that Kimberly's the...

the low-hanging fruit for the day that keeps us safe.

- If one of our names is brought up by her,

the players will believe her.

- All right, I think we've got a decision.

Let's kill Kimberly.

(ALL CHUCKLE)

(ENCHANTING MUSIC)

(ENCHANTING MUSIC CONTINUES)

- READS: 'Dear Kimberly, you have hereby been murdered.

'Yours faithfully, the traitors.'

Oh, that is so predictable.

(LAUGHS)

- Whoever you are. I hope you realise there are spirits that are coming for you tonight.

You've upset the powers that be.

- First murder feels invigorating, to be honest, you know. People are going.

- And we were all really curious as to what she was gonna predict.

- And then I saw her face change, cos she saw her own death. (ALL CHUCKLE)

- Honestly, I'm really sad that Kimberly's gone, because I felt like we had a little bit of a connection.

But it's not about making friends, so...

it is what it is.

(SHIMMERING, MYSTERIOUS MUSIC)

(ALL CHEER, APPLAUD)

- Good morning, everybody.

I trust you slept well.

I mean, why on earth wouldn't you, yes?

I have been for a brisk 10 K.

(ALL LAUGH)

There is nothing like fresh country air to cleanse the soul after a murder.

So sad too.

We barely got used to having Kimberly around,

and now the poor child has gone,

taken far, far too early.

Never mind.

(ALL LAUGH)

Tonight you get to even the score when our first banishment takes place at the round table.

It's your first shot at eliminating a dastardly traitor.

Enjoy your breakfast,

and I'll see you for your next mission.

Just one thing,

you should dress for a funeral. It seems appropriate.

- Our first banishment tonight. - Yeah, so we've gotta make sure we actually banish a traitor

and not a faithful.

- We need to team up.

- How awesome would it be if we got it, like, right the first time?

- Oh, if we nailed it first time, I'd be like, 'Yes!' - It'd be great.

- 'I'm starting to have weird suspicions about Loryn, because she is so quiet.'

I think she'd be a good traitor, because I don't think people would think she would be.

And Dan, too, I think. I got a weird vibe from Dan just at the table.

He was really non-engaging.

So I'm gonna keep a little eye on him as well.

- What a day, eh? - What were you asking before?

- What a day to be alive! (CLAPS HANDS)

(BIRDS CHIRP)

(INDISTINCT CHATTER)

- I was surprised that Kimberly was murdered,

cos that showed me that the traitors actually thought of her as a threat.

- Did you not sleep? - Not very well.

- I sleep really well.

- I'm not surprised by Kimberly.

- (SCOFFS) I am.

- What's your reckons on Kimberly? Why?

- I just mentioned it was a quick 'rip the Band-Aid off'.

Get rid of the psychic — it kind of makes sense.

- Get it out— get it out of the way.

- Cos it could have turned into a festering sore,

having, like, someone throwing shit out there, right? - Yeah.

- Even if you didn't believe in it,

someone who's gonna sit at the table and drop some names,

and they might just happen upon one of yours, like, that's someone you wanna get rid of.

- It's funny, because even though there's so many people left,

there's less people to be a traitor, you know what I mean?

So now that we know that the traitors are here, and they know each other, I'm—

- That's interesting, eh? That's the thing that I'm really interested in —

seeing who's hanging out, probably seeing who's not hanging out. - Not hanging out, I reckon.

- Loryn's the one that's quiet. - Yeah, Loryn.

- I don't think— I don't think she's a traitor.

- No, I don't think we should underestimate Loryn, though.

- See, I thought that me having five things could either work for me totally or against me totally.

- Tip your vial into the cocktail of the person you trust the least.

- Oh.

What have you done?

- I'm just some middle-aged mother of four from the suburbs. (LAUGHS)

- If you're wanting to establish yourself as a faithful,

you might need to give people a sense of whether or not there is another thing

that— that's kind of brought you here.

So if you imagine you've got a policewoman,

and you've got these different people, a former police officer,

what is it that makes you someone that would be in the game?

I think

I would like to find out if Robbie has a bigger story.

Something's just not floating right now.

- Oh, well, try standing in front of a mirror for 40 years talking to people.

- OK. Yeah, a hairdresser.

- Oh, that's good. - Yeah. - You're right.

Because you're reading people. You're talking to them.

- So you think people were filling up her vial,

because they thought there was a mystery that they didn't know? - Yeah.

People said that over the course of the day.

- Mike said that to me as well.

He said, 'People are wondering, "what is a hairdresser doing on here?"'

'I've got no idea what's going through people's heads.'

I don't think all of the green things that were put in my glass

were put in there because I was untrustworthy.

But it did kind of illuminate me being there, which is probably not my intention.

- I have a feeling... about two people.

It's...

Darth Vanda...

(CHUCKLES) or Robbie.

Yeah.

Just another demeanour change.

One thing that this game — or experiment — is making me aware of

is that I'm very sensitive,

that I'm looking at people and trying to not just take them at face value, but at a deeper level.

So the person that I potentially will put up to get booted is Robbie,

just because of the way she's presented herself...

and the way that she talks and converses and looks openly.

She would be a perfect assassin.

- Boxing, a little bit.

(BROODING MUSIC)

- PAUL HENRY: Our players are heading off on another mission.

They must work together, traitors and faithful, to win money for the final prize fund.

They have no idea what's in store for them.

- If any of you guys are traitors, that's gonna blow my mind... - Oh, it's gonna be so fantastic.

- ...because I was thinking about you, but just chatting with you,

I just— I just can't believe it at all.

- (CHUCKLES) Well, well, well.

- I think I could tell if Dan was lying to me.

He's the person I know the most.

In my mind, he's a very good ally to getting people out, cos he's the opposite of me —

calculated and observational.

(WHIMSICAL MUSIC)

- Do you reckon it would have been a better play for Kimberly to just not say what she was?

- Yeah. Well, because that...

that automatic, 'Oh, she's a psychic. What if she's right?'

- So, Robbie's nervously blabbering away.

So she said that there was 'we', and there was 'murder'.

So those are the two words that I picked up on.

I mean, it's, like, one heck of a mistake to make.

(DRAMATIC MUSIC SWELLS)

(DRAMATIC MUSIC)

(DRAMATIC MUSIC CONTINUES)

(OMINOUS MUSIC)

- Walking to the church,

literally, the hairs on my arm stand up.

It's macabre.

- Welcome, all, to today's mission

as we pay homage to Kimberly, who was so brutally taken from us overnight.

Rumour has it that Kimberly has left a handsome inheritance,

and it's yours for the taking.

Here's how it will work —

one of your team will come and join me in the confessional booth.

I will provide you with a verse from the Bible.

Listen carefully.

I will read it only once.

There's a total of six Bible verses

that, if correctly interpreted,

will point you to an item worn by a member of our congregation.

For each item, you'll be rewarded with $1000.

I'll see you shortly for your confessions.

I can't tell you how many fantasies this is fulfilling for me at the moment.

- It's scary. It's a scary vibe, but so super exciting.

- That's us. Who's goin'? - Me, my turn. I'll go and hunt.

- Bye, Robbie.

- I volunteered to memorise one of the readings.

I think the missions are a really good time where you can observe people in a different environment

than just sitting around having a chat.

- Have you any deeds to confess, Robbie?

- WHISPERS: So many, but we haven't got all day. Just give me the reading.

- The verse you seek can be found in the Book of Exodus.

- Exodus 3:5.

- (READS VERSE)

- We've got— We've got two. There's— - But she's go no sandals on.

- She's got no sandals on. - She's got no sandals on.

- Just say it again, though.

- READS: Remove the sandals from your feet. - It's gotta be.

- Everybody else has shoes or some type of footwear.

- Checked everyone?

- Go on. Yeah, lock it in. - Yeah, happy with that. I'm happy.

- The missions are a super opportunity for traitors to appear as faithfuls,

um, as long as we're giving it 100% all the time.

- Do you have something in there for me?

(ALL CHUCKLE)

- (GASPS) - Oh no, have we gone too early?

(ALL CHEER)

- It is also a good opportunity to pick out the weak

who aren't as good in any given challenge

and give people a reason to banish them.

- Whoo! Let's go! - Yo, yo!

- Right, while she's doing that, how do Bibles work?

- (EXHALES SHARPLY) Forgive me, Father, for I have sinned.

- I'm sure you have, Vanda.

Has it been a long time since your last confession?

- It has been decades since my last confession.

- Well, the verse you seek, my child, is Book of Genesis,

chapter two,

verses 16 to 17.

- Here she comes. Here she comes!

Genesis 2:16-17.

- Oh, here's, 17. 17, here.

- (READS VERSE)

- It has to be an apple, right? It has to be an apple. - The apple.

The apple guy. Go, go, go, go.

- So, today I'm putting myself forward,

because I wanna show everyone that I'm a strong competitor...

- Make sure they definitely are apple socks. - They are definitely apple socks.

...and that I'm someone that they should keep around,

even if, for some wild reason, they think I'm a traitor.

- Yeah, I reckon go with the apple.

- Lock it in? - Lock it in!

- Do you have the silver bar?

(TENSE MUSIC)

(ALL CHEER)

(MOMENTOUS MUSIC)

- The Gospel of John 15:5.

- (READS VERSE)

- So what do you think I'm looking for?

- I feel like vines, grapes.

- A snake. - There's a tree. - A tree, tree branch.

- It feels like grapes or a vine.

What's on his hankie?

- Lemons and— It's fruit. It's fruit.

- I just— You wouldn't say a vine. You wouldn't say a vine for lemon, now way.

- Where's the grapes? There must be some grapes.

- I can't see grapes anywhere.

- OK, well, it has to be the fruit hankie. It's the only— Have we seen any other fruit?

- If it is anything, it's probably that.

- OK, ask him. I don't have a lot of faith in this.

- Do you have the silver bar?

(GASPS)

(ALL CHEER)

- The Book of Isaiah, chapter one.

- (READS VERSE)

- Anyone bleeding out their hands over there?

- There's an option. - We've got a bandage.

- We've got a sore hand in the front.

- I would go with that. - It is the most obvious.

Excuse me, darl, do you have the silver?

(ALL CHEER)

- (READS VERSE)

(INDISTINCT CHATTER)

- So this snake? OK.

Are you locking it in?

- We're locking it in. - Please do.

- Do you have our silver bar?

(ALL CHEER)

The verse is 1 Corinthians,

chapter seven...

- Verse nine.

(READS VERSE)

All right, we're looking for some fire or some marriage.

- So the last one was very tricky...

- Check for wedding rings.

- Oh, you want— Are you looking for wedding rings?

...and unfortunately, we all— we all got in our heads.

That's a wedding ring.

There was two people with wedding rings on, and so that got confusing.

- That's it. - I think so too.

- Nothing to do with flames?

And then there was gloves and sins and flames and...

Shoes? Feet. - This is a tough one.

- I mean, I was just, sort of, like, looking for flames and wedding rings.

- To be a flame with passion. - With passion.

- There's no flames.

- Is it the rose because of the passion?

Is that a rose sticking out the side of that woman's hair? - Yeah, there's a flower.

Is that the rose there? - Yeah.

- Hi there, do you have the silver for us?

(SUSPENSEFUL MUSIC)

God dammit!

(ALL EXCLAIM)

You know, it was a collective stuff-up.

Sorry, sorry.

- Well done.

A fitting tribute to your fallen comrade, Kimberly,

and $5000 has been added to the prize fund.

(ALL CHEER)

- So stoked about adding 5 grand to our kitty.

We could have added 6, but we'll do better next time.

- However, you did miss one item,

the wedding ring.

(ALL SIGH)

I'll leave you to celebrate.

But don't let off all your firecrackers at once,

because I will be seeing you at the round table

where you'll individually vote for who you currently think is a traitor.

Arrivederci.

- Oh... - Oh no.

(DRAMATIC MUSIC)

- It's banishment time, guys.

- Oh, you know, I'm feeling sick about that. - Yeah, me too.

- We're gonna have to vote someone out. - Oh, shit. Don't say that.

- This is the tough bit; I'm not looking forward to it. - Oh no.

- Nah, I'm ready.

- It feels good to finish our first, like, proper mission, and we've done pretty well,

but I'm not looking forward to what's coming next.

We'll only have to vote someone out if we go back.

If we just take this car... - (LAUGHS)

- ...and do a runner, we can avoid that pain.

- So did either of you have anyone in particular that you...

were sort of feeling, 'Well...'

- Probably Robbie was top for me.

- Chris is on my radar quite high.

- Yeah, yeah.

(UNSETTLING MUSIC)

- What does a villain do? What does a predator do?

They hide in plain sight,

like a tiger, you know?

- It was a huge mistake today for Loryn to not be heavily involved in the game.

That would have been something that she should have been conscious of

and really tryin' to form bonds today,

get involved, act like she's playing for the faithful.

- Are you having fun, Loryn?

- I am, I am, um...

- Who are you gonna murder tonight?

- (LAUGHS)

- Why would I do that? (SCOFFS)

I wouldn't have the heart to do that. - OK.

(DRAMATIC MUSIC)

- Right now, the traitors will be... I presume, quite nervous,

cos this is— this is the first time that the can be knocked out.

- Well, has anyone here asked anyone if they're a traitor yet?

- Could be— Could be him. - Well, yeah.

It could be you. It could be me.

- Yeah.

- Is it? - (LAUGHS)

- You'd make a good traitor.

(LAUGHS)

I think I'm goin' OK. I don't feel at risk of getting voted off,

but I'm not underestimating any of the people in the game.

I think there are people that are extremely smart,

which is why I think I'll need to be more involved in, you know,

really seeming like I wanna find these traitors.

- Well, I think someone made a slip-up.

Robbie, when referring to Kimberly, went,

'Blah, blah, blah, blah, blah,

'so we made the right decision.'

- I don't know whether she meant it as in collectively

or whether she meant it as 'the traitors', but anyway...

I didn't know what to make of it, but I certainly noticed it — and so did Julia.

- Are you confident?

- No.

- Are you upset?

- No. No, I'm not upset. I don't wanna go home — that's for sure.

'Bit nervous about tonight.'

I think I've just tried to, sort of, just be me today,

and hopefully I'll be here for another day, you know. That's what I really want.

- Yeah. - Do you not?

- I...

- I'm rolling my eyes, and I have been all day, at this pile-on for Robbie.

I just feel like no one knows her,

so it's easier to jump to a conclusion. - Yeah, yeah.

- Now that I'm failing at identifying traitors,

I'm just going to try to, like, go,

'OK, if they were being dead obvious, last night, Kimberly called out Robbie.'

- And then you wake up the next morning, and Kimberly's gone.

(ETHEREAL MUSIC)

- # Ready or not, I'm...

# coming for you.

# I smell your blood.

# It'll be over soon...

- Our players are about to meet at the round table for the first banishing.

- # It'll be over soon...

- They will debate.

They will discuss.

They will be on high alert.

But here's the rub —

can the traitors go undetected?

Can they lead the players to banish a faithful by mistake?

Or have they blown their cover?

(OMINOUS NOTE)

(SUSPENSEFUL MUSIC)

- You've really got to now follow your gut.

Everyone's being too safe and too sweet, but I'm not.

- I'm really feeling conflicted right now.

I have no idea which way I'm gonna go.

- My heart's racing.

The energy's shifted completely.

- It's gonna be really interesting to see how people react to being accused.

- Good evening, players.

What a day you have all had.

You made $5000 at the memorial.

Your total prize pool now sitting before you

is $10,000.

And remember, the traitors contributed directly to that prize pool.

They're here now, sitting with you.

And this...

is your chance

to eliminate them from the game.

You will each get one vote for the player you would like to banish.

The player who receives the most votes will be ejected immediately.

So who are the traitors?

Do you have an inkling?

Have your little minds been whirring?

I suspect they have.

Well, this is your opportunity to dissect the truth.

Who would like to begin?

(SUSPENSEFUL MUSIC)

- What about people who got a lot of green in their drinks last night?

Robbie, you got quite a lot.

This is a chance to defend yourself for why you think you're the least trusted.

- I sort of feel like...

I don't know how to defend myself against that.

Dylan put the first green in my drink, but I think the others were just convenience.

- Robbie, you said something today in the car

which made me second-guess your attitude today. - Right.

- What was that? What did—? What did she say?

- Well, it was just the terminology, you know,

about the decision-making of the traitors.

Rather than saying the word 'they', you went, 'We.'

And I freaked out when you said that.

- No, that was definitely...

as a, you know, 'royal we' sort of thing.

- Bear in mind, Robbie is the person that most of us know the least.

- I think— I think what's happened is herd mentality.

- I have a question — Robbie,

have you got any ideas who...

the traitor is or are?

- I've potentially got two, but I think one's sort of pulling ahead a little bit at the moment, yeah.

- Do you wanna share who that is?

Like, all this conversation we've had, the name that keeps coming up is yours...

- Yeah, well, I can't help that. - ...and I'm not convinced that that's right,

but I would like to hear some other options.

- OK, um, well, I'm gonna put Loryn down.

You just seemed to be out of sorts all day —

and I wonder if being a traitor has possibly just tipped you a bit closer to, sort of,

just being in a place you don't wanna be.

- I also will chip in on that too.

I think that Loryn is such a sweetheart

that she'd be a really good traitor.

- I mean, I can't defend the fact that I'm kind and sweet and caring —

and that's who I am, you know. That's me in a nutshell, to be honest.

- My hunch was in the mission,

you seemed very 'fade in the back-ish'

and not as engaging. So that was my hunch.

- Um, yeah, I am an introvert, like, outside of a group situation,

um, and I'm openly gonna admit that. I find it hard to communicate,

um, and I just wanna be in my own zone — and that is who I am.

Whereas with my dance training, we've been taught, you know,

'Just be you in a group and be open and be OK to talk and stand up for whatever,

'find out what you need to find out and do whatever you need to do, really.'

(TENSE MUSIC)

- If we're talking about quietness,

today was the first time I talked to Loryn, and I talked to her quite a bit.

So if your thing is quietness, she wasn't quiet to me today.

- No, no, not necessarily quiet, just probably more erring on the side of... kind of, uneasiness.

- Loryn is a friend of mine outside of the game.

And I know...

you are a quiet person,

but I do think there has been...

a bit of a change in...

how I know you.

(OMINOUS MUSIC)

(OMINOUS MUSIC CONTINUES)

- We have to remember we have been taken out of our normal lives and routines.

Some of us adapt well...

and others not so well, but that's part of the game.

- The time for talk is over.

Now you need to pick up your slates

and write on it the name of the person you wish to banish from the game now.

(SUSPENSEFUL MUSIC)

(SUSPENSEFUL MUSIC CONTINUES)

(SUSPENSEFUL MUSIC CONTINUES)

It's time to tally the votes.

- (SIGHS) - (EXHALES SHARPLY)

- Please reveal who you voted for and why.

(SUSPENSEFUL MUSIC)

We will start

with you, Fili.

(SUSPENSEFUL MUSIC CONTINUES)

- Sorry, Loryn, um...

you were the least engaging,

but all of a sudden, you started speaking out.

That was enough for me to change my original hunch to...

to you.

(SUSPENSEFUL MUSIC CONTINUES)

- Kings.

- I went for my original hunch there, which was also you, Loryn.

Nothing personal at all.

- Vanda, who did you vote for and why?

- I voted for you today.

Just with my observations about, um, Kimberly,

I had to make a decision, but it was you.

- So that's two votes for Loryn,

one vote for Cris.

Mike, who did you vote for and why?

- I'm sorry, Loryn.

I voted for you.

- Loryn, who did you vote for and why?

- I believe that energy is truth.

And from the beginning,

I haven't connected or trusted this person.

So the person I voted for was...

(SUSPENSEFUL MUSIC CONTINUES)

- Three votes for Loryn,

one for Cris

and one for Dylan.

Colin.

- I'd let it be known, you know, that this person..

I was suspicious of.

So I think we all know who I'm picking.

(ALL LAUGH)

- Julia.

- OK, So tonight I am voting for you, Loryn.

- Christen.

- You are so lovely, Loryn. I'm so sorry,

but you make the perfect traitor.

- I also voted for Loryn.

If I was in your position, I would have said categorically, 'I am not a traitor.'

And because you didn't come straight out with that defence, that kind of solidified it for me.

- Robbie.

- I voted for...

Loryn.

I really hope you're a traitor.

(DRAMATIC MUSIC SWELLS)

(MUSIC FADES)

- Dan.

- I also voted for Loryn.

(MOMENTOUS MUSIC)

(MUSIC SWELLS)

(BROODING MUSIC)

- Dan.

- I also voted for Loryn.

I'm feeling a little bad that Loryn's gonna go.

I know there's nothing I can do about it,

but we're here to win a game,

and at that moment in time, the best way for us to stay and win was to let her go.

- That wasn't a surprise.

I feel like Dan's playing the game, and he thinks that vote covers him.

I mean, it's a little bit disloyal, but...

I guess that's— that's the game he's playing.

- Eight votes for you now, Loryn.

Matt.

(ALL LAUGH)

- I'm just gonna throw something silly out there,

get people laughing, and then they'll move on from me.

- Dylan, reveal who you voted for, and tell us why.

- Robbie felt like an obvious choice to me, but it also felt too easy.

I was waiting to hear a reason to vote for someone else.

It felt like maybe there was a reason to vote for Loryn.

- Anna.

- So, I'm really sorry, Loryn. I'm not bucking the trend.

- Brodie, who did you vote for and why?

- I know that you are the most—

probably— probably one of the most innocent people here,

and, my God, that makes for a good traitor,

and, my God, I hope I'm right.

- Brooke, who did you vote for and why?

- I'm so sorry that we're not gonna get to hang out with you,

um, but, yeah.

- 12 votes for you, Loryn.

It looks like your friend's in a lot of trouble, Sam.

Who did you vote for and why?

- Um...

I am the unlucky 13th.

I'm voting for my friend Loryn,

which I feel really bad about.

It's literally the only thing I've seen

that has given me any clue to anyone.

So, yeah, sorry.

(TENSE MUSIC)

- Loryn,

it was a landslide.

You got the most votes.

Please come up here and join me.

(DRAMATIC MUSIC)

Loryn, you have been banished from the game.

Before you leave the lodge,

it's time to reveal whether you're a traitor or a faithful.

(MUSIC SWELLS)

(MUSIC FADES)

- Oh, goodness.

Um, I just wanted to say I've loved the last two days with all of you,

and I will truly cherish the time I got to spend with you all.

Um..

but...

I have been hiding a secret from you all.

And...

I am a traitor.

(ALL CHEER, WHOOP, APPLAUD)

- Oh my God!

- I got goosebumps! - Bro!

- (SIGHS HEAVILY)

(MOMENTOUS MUSIC)

- SHOUTS: Can I get a hoo-rah?

- ALL: Hoo-rah!

- Hell yeah!

- EMOTIONALLY: Oh, that is so great.

(MOMENTOUS MUSIC CONTINUES)

- Thank God, thank God.

- Well, it seems congratulations are in order...

for the faithfuls at least.

You convincingly banished a traitor...

at the very first opportunity.

Quite an impressive start.

I'll see you at breakfast.

Maybe.

Ciao for now.

(ALL EXCLAIM)

- Oh my God.

- Good, good.

- Don't sleep easy tonight, though. Jeez.

- I can't sleep now.

(INSECTS CHIRP)

(REFLECTIVE MUSIC)

(CLOCK TICKS)

- You all right? - Yeah, I'm good.

- That was tough.

- That was tough, man, but (STAMMERS)...

we got one! We got a traitor!

I am feeling amazing.

I really hope to see you all in the morning.

It was heartbreaking to have to vote out my friend...

- What a roller-coaster. - Yeah.

- ...but then to turn out to be right that we had got a traitor,

it was incredible! It was like winning the World Cup.

Night, guys. Sleep well.

Love you. Nigh-night.

- Loryn going was pretty disappointing, because I like Loryn.

I thought she was gonna be good for us,

but she just didn't play it well, so I guess she wasn't a good traitor.

- Sleep well.

- After the feeling in the room and experiencing that round table,

I think the strategy for the traitors has changed slightly.

So watch out.

(CLOCK CHIMES)

(OWL HOOTS)

- PAUL HENRY: With the traitors' ranks disappointingly reduced to just two,

the remaining pair are faced with a tough decision.

They can either seduce and recruit a new traitor from the faithful,

or they can bide their time and commit another murder.

- So, so... - (CACKLES)

- How—? - One and done.

- How did Loryn create so much suspicion so quickly?

They got a kill right out of the bat.

They're feelin' good.

- That's when they're gonna be most vulnerable to make bad decisions.

- Seducing has its advantages in that there's more of you,

there's more ears,

and you've got more of a syndicate.

(EXHALES SHARPLY)

The disadvantage is at that point, me and Dan aren't really under suspicion,

but if you then seduce someone, then everyone is back under suspicion again.

Is there anyone that we need to take out tonight

that supersedes the advantages of having three of us?

- Is your preference to murder?

Deciding to go for a murder versus seducing another player, I think,

will kind of remind them that the game is afoot.

They don't have control over a lot of things.

- I think we murder, and we keep shock happening.

I think we kill someone; we kill a sacred little lamb

so no one feels safe.

It seems better to hold the seducing card.

All right.

Who are we gonna murder?

- So, I think it could be Anna.

She's really well-liked and doing really well in the game.

That would shock a few people.

They'd be upset if she got murdered. - Mm-hm.

What about Cris?

Asks a lot of questions,

was throwing a bit of stuff around.

People don't really know what's going on.

She's definitely— She's definitely playing the game.

- The other person I would just throw into the mix is probably Justine.

Definitely playing the game. She has separated herself from emotion...

- Yes. - ..as far as it goes. And that's always a danger.

- And seemed to be...

orchestrating. - Yeah.

People were listening when she was speaking.

- So who are we looking at here?

Justine,

Anna,

Cris.

Let's kill her.

(CACKLES)

The ramifications. (LAUGHS)

- # So good

# at being bad. #

- PAUL HENRY: Next time —

- Even though I tease her, I don't trust her.

- the hunt for the remaining traitors is on...

- Where are you?

- You shake his hand, and then you count your fingers.

- ...and everyone's in the firing line.

- I know some of them are lying to me.

- Are you a traitor, Mike?

- (SIGHS)

- You have hung her out to dry for two days.

- I've got a huge target on my back.

- I lost all feelings of remorse for the faithful.
