To find someone to trust, that is the most important thing in this game.

Here, loyal and traitorous players will fight side by side towards a common goal:

To build the prize pool as large as possible.

All players bring something irreplaceable with them.

Namely, the trust of someone they are especially fond of.

I have with me one of those I am most fond of.

-My wife. -He is one of my closest friends.

Could you betray someone you care about?

I might stab someone in the back to win.

That doesn't sound good.

16 players. All with different starting points for success.

I have played a lot of games, done acting and worked with many people.

You should be good at all of this to be good at "The Traitor".

Experienced actors are here.

I think it's an advantage, if you become the traitor, to be an actor.

I'm damn good at keeping a straight face.

-And ice-cold tricksters. -I'm a sneaky dog one hundred percent.

Whatever you want. I can bet everything.

I'm not here on vacation, you know.

Soon, some of them will be assigned the role of the traitor.

A role they must play And in the highest degree hide.

If you were offered to be a traitor, what would you say?

Then I would say yes!

Can the loyal ones come together And expose the traitors-

-before it's too late, they win all the silver for themselves.

But if one traitor remains among them at the end of the game,-

-everything will be in vain.

I am loyal.

We must remove this cancer from the group.

I have been deceived. I promise you.

I have been completely fooled.

Are you sad? You must not be sad.

-We cannot afford to lose any more. -This is completely insane.

I feel like a psychopath.

SCREEN MEDIA Tone Hauge

The game is about to begin at Kongsvinger Fortress,-

-and all the players are loyal for now.

There is Mads Hansen standing.

Suddenly, it felt very real!

This is some PST stuff.

The fact that the game will take place in this old fortress,-

-and that we will live and sleep here... I think it will create a special atmosphere.

Who knows? Maybe people have been betrayed or killed here before?

It's quite possible. I can feel it in the walls.

Each player enters the game with a partner they know well beforehand.

But right now, the pairs are split and the partners are hidden.

No one has revealed who they came here with.

For now, it's a secret.

-Welcome to the game! -Thank you.

This game is about finding out who you can trust.

And even more importantly: who cannot be trusted.

We start with a task, now that we still can trust each other.

-Already? -Is it too early?

No, for God's sake, I'm ready.

You have all brought one person with you here.

A person whom you trust and have a strong relationship with.

But as you can see, they're not here.

They are there.

You can start by dividing yourselves into two teams: men and women.

The players are divided into two teams: men and women. They have to figure out-

-if the other team is telling the truth about their relationship-

-with their hidden partners. Are they husband and wife? Friends?

Colleagues? Lovers?

The teams will ask each other questions to find out.

For every correct relationship a team manages to guess,-

-they win a silver bar worth 2000 kroner for the prize pool.

But if you can keep secret who you have brought-

-in from the other team, you can win-

-a trip to the shield room tonight.

In the shield room you can secure a shield-

-which protects against being killed by the traitors the following night.

We could gather as much silver as possible-

-or get the opportunity to go to the shield room.

It would be very nice to have a shield.

Will the players speak the truth to win silver for the community?

Or will they lie to secure possible safety for themselves and their partner?

My goodness.

Oh my god, so scary.

-No, this was weird. -So exciting.

I saw it.

Quite fond of colors. Artist.

Now I assume what kind of energy I get from each and every one.

I talk a little with everyone.

Did you break up with your girlfriend? You looked a bit sad.

Hola. Qu� pasa, hermano?

Checkmate.

So I'm just trying to get to know them and scan them, really.

Seriously, people are angry today.

Shall we go for the tactic that it's team against team,-

-boys against girls, in here?

Or should we go for the gentle start?

I wouldn't say no to a shield,

-but you don't want to stand out in the beginning-

-as someone who is good at lying or who lies a lot.

I mean... We have no idea who the traitors are anyway.

The strategy of my team is simply to be loyal.

Because we are all loyal, so why should we play any other way?

So we do what's best for the whole group, which is to tell the truth.

Victor knows you, me, and Katrine.

So if he realizes I'm lying, he'll think everyone is lying.

If I am honest and you lie...

Jennie was quite early to suggest that we should go for the shield room.

She looks really innocent and kind, -

-but I think there is quite a lot of tactics hidden beneath the surface.

In everyday life, I try to avoid lying as much as I can.

But this is a game, and then the rules are not the same.

I don't want to lie, because then you will get a big cross on your back -

- for the next elimination, because then you have already lied.

Agreed, and I also think that it is the first day.

It's nice that we all become a nice group. Don't you agree?

I didn't even think for a second about the shield room.

Now everyone is loyal and a friendly group who want the best for each other.

Now we must show that we can cooperate as loyal ones.

Because if we can't do that when we know that everyone is loyal, it will be quite tough.

Are you bringing a family member, or?

As soon as I saw Katrine, I understood-

-that she had brought her daughter with her. I was so sure!

-So that's your..? -Partner.

And I am good friends with the person.

-I am bringing my wife. -How nice. It must be pleasant.

I do not usually lie. I prefer to keep quiet.

The teams have been asking each other questions-

-and determining what relationship the two opponents have-

-to their hidden partners. Are you ready to give your answers?

So it remains to be seen if everyone has told the truth,-

-which gives the most silver to the pot,-

-or if someone has lied to secure a place in the shield room.

Then we will see if any of you have chosen to prioritize your own safety-

-over the community. Heidi, what relationship-

-have you told that you have with your partner?

-That we are colleagues. -Do you trust Heidi?

-Yes. -Then you can take off your mask.

There I am!

My partner.

-Torstein, welcome to the game. -Thank you.

-One silver bar in the pot.

-What is your relationship with Heidi? -We are colleagues.

-I am an avid player and also like to win.

-So I am prepared to do what needs to be done-

-to win, and I won't have any qualms about it.

Victor, what have you told about your relationship?

Friend. I'm with my best buddy.

We've done lots of YouTube and TV together.

We do everything together.

We call each other "work husbands".

-Katrine? -I have a family member with me.

Daughter.

-Then I'll take you as the authority here. -Exactly. It's my daughter.

It's very special to be in a room with you and maybe have to lie,-

-and maybe you lie to me. We are so close and talk about everything.

But it's also exciting.

-Lasse? -It's my wife.

Then you can take off your mask.

-Anne Marie, welcome. -Thank you very much.

She doesn't have good chances of lying to me,-

-because I often see when she tells white lies.

He thinks so.

-Jennie? -I brought-

-my partner and boyfriend Tarjei.

-Hi. -Hi, hi.

My player is a good friend. Welcome him warmly-

-Hkeem!

-Welcome. -Thank you very much.

I have said that I am bringing a friend. All of Norway-

- Margrethe! -Hello!

-Emilie? -I have said that I am bringing a friend.

Take off your mask.

-Aslak, welcome. -Thank you.

Now before the game, I have one hundred percent trust in Emilie.

I can say the same about Aslak.

It was a full score. Eight silver bars in the prize pool. Congratulations.

But now, my friends...

You arrived in pairs, but you will not play as pairs.

You are all individual players.

Loyal players for now.

Because soon, a very few selected of you-

-will be offered an advantage in the game.

Of course, the identity of the traitors will be kept secret from the loyal ones.

So the loyal ones must do their utmost to expose the traitors.

I suggest you enjoy the little time you have left,-

-Trust will soon be very difficult to come by.

-By the way! -Hello.

There's Karl Johan.

I recognize Karl Johan.

-It's difficult to make a plan. -We haven't made any plans.

But we also see that we are among the older ones here.

Among the older ones?

I don't know you very well, but are you married?

-Yes. Lasse. -Tarjei. Nice to meet you.

-I'm a dancer. -Guess if I saw you.

I am a passionate viewer of "Skal vi danse".

"Do you recognize me?" "Yes, I do."

-But I have also participated. -You have? When?

In 2010.

-I got the whole thing. -Lucky you.

-Three in a row! Hat trick! -Just kidding.

-Is it best to be loyal? -I think so, for me.

I become so weird when I am... More weird than usual.

To be loyal is almost worse. Then it's just despair.

"I am innocent, but I have no alibi."

I have worked in children's TV for so long,

I hope it can be an advantage.

You are my childhood hero. Oh, you...

Respect. Likewise.

And you look exactly the same. I have a lot of respect for what you do.

My mother, everyone. You're doing a good job.

-Thank you, that's so kind. -You were our childhood hero.

So cool. So good.

Maybe they feel so safe with me-

-that they think I can never be a traitor.

Or the opposite, that they think that I could be a traitor...

-Hkeem said he calls you Sero. -Sero is what everyone calls me.

-Is that seriously what we're going to say? -Yes, even directors say it.

Do you like being called "Ashlak" or "Aslak"?

-Tonally, it's actually "Aslak" -Aslak?

-Yes, good, you got that quickly. -Aslak...

Do you like being called "Eveliina"...

Now I'm very curious about all the variations you can come up with.

It could also be "Evelinaa".

Or "Eevelina"?

The last one! Then I know it's you talking to me!

I don't feel like I've become best friends with anyone here yet.

We've become superficially acquainted.

It's a bit dangerous if I go there.

I'll be exposed and threatened.

But it was sick cool to play against Torstein Bae.

Norway's very own Torstein Bae. The Fork Man!

I think maybe I need to move that one.

Now I'm sitting here watching the chess experts.

The chess player is probably used to keeping a straight face.

You can't really beat it because you have to watch it.

Fuck... Alright then.

Well, that was a sad story.

You tried to trick a trickster.

But in this game, we're not tricksters, Aslak. We're loyal.

-Yes. -Untruthful people.

-Just to be clear. -Yes, there must be no doubt about it.

It's nice to be here now. The calm before the storm.

I believe one enjoys the time they have,-

-to truly get to know each other.

And then it's going to go wrong.

The players are on their way to the council chamber, the very heart of the game,-

-where some of them will be given an exclusive role.

From that moment on, they will be traitors.

I'm quite awkward and talkative, and talk a lot.

I thought: Should I be a little calm and not be so much myself?

But now I've already been too much myself in front of them,-

-so I have to continue being myself a lot, I think.

Hkeem knows me too well. If I become a traitor and he stays loyal,-

-I have to be able to lie. He knows... He knows all my facial expressions.

Although I am quite sensitive, I believe that I keep it well under control.

If I enter a role, I think I can-

-put my emotions aside.

It's like we're going to a funeral.

It's as if someone has died, only worse.

That someone will become a murderer, a mass murderer.

I feel like a prime minister discussing the country's progress.

I got some Freemason vibes. I understand that the game has begun.

Game of Thrones vibes. That room is dangerous. I felt it in the air.

Welcome to the council chamber, the heart of the game.

Here the truths shall be revealed one by one.

Here the majority decides.

And it is a great advantage for the loyal ones.

So if you manage to come together,-

-and even more importantly: stay together,-

-you will be able to share all the silver you collect.

But then there are these traitors.

I have talked to each and every one of you and asked if you want to-

-betray the others.

And the faces of some of you...

...lit up.

If you were offered to become a traitor, would you say yes?

-Yes. -I would probably say yes.

-I would say yes. -Without thinking?

I'm used to playing. I've lived off it for a long time.

When you're a traitor, you have an advantage.

Being able to calculate your moves with an open picture suits me well.

I've played a lot of bluffing games lately.

And I've won very often in them.

You all have someone you know very well.

And you have already built up trust.

But how well do you really know each other?

Do you trust Anne Marie? In the game?

-He can't trust me. -Do you trust him?

No.

You have your daughter with you. Can she trust you?

No, not at all.

And I'll be proud of her if she manages to trick me.

And I think she thinks it's cool if I manage to trick her.

I'm willing to stab my own buddy, my own brother, to win.

And when I am, I am willing to stab everyone else too.

Let the game begin.

Trust your gut feeling.

Feel how trust feels in your body.

Isn't it wonderful?

But now it will change.

Because now it's time to expose traitors.

Now you can write your name on the paper in front of you.

I'm so excited to see who will be the traitor-

-and if I notice a difference. What if I become the traitor?

I think I have an advantage as an actor-

-if I had gotten the traitor role.

But the role I have done the most in my career is Klatremus,-

-so I don't know if he can help me in this game.

Or actually, yes!

Klatremus is a very clever character.

Maybe I should use a little bit of Klatremus, actually.

And the names at the top of the pile-

-when I'm done shuffling, will be chosen as traitors.

Now, everyone look down at the table.

Close your eyes.

And keep them closed.

I will now place my hand on the shoulder of someone among you.

If you feel that hand on your shoulder...

...you have been assigned the role of traitor.

When I sit there and Mads walks around, I get a little nervous, yes.

I was terrified of feeling a hand on my shoulder,-

-so I tried to think: "This is just a game."

And suddenly I felt the tap on my shoulder.

I wanted to be the traitor. It felt more challenging.

I had zero nerves. I wasn't even a little bit nervous.

Because I wanted to be a traitor.

Now it's game on. I just have to turn on-

-all the acting inside my body.

Now the whole game changes for me.

Before we continue, I want to ask-

-those who felt a hand on their shoulder, some questions.

Do you want to betray those you sit among?

Do you want to kill the others at night?

Then I remind you that this is your choice and yours alone.

When I give the signal now, the traitors can open their eyes-

-and look at each other.

Traitors, you can open your eyes.

When I opened my eyes, I looked across the table.

And there I saw Victor. I thought it was very exciting.

I see Anne Marie and I actually get very happy and think, "Cool."

And then I try to peek around a bit more. I see no one.

There may be someone sitting on the same side as me,-

-but I dare not move any further.

You can close your eyes now.

I am counting down from three.

When I have counted down from three, everyone can open their eyes,-

-and the game is on.

Three, two, one...

Then you can open your eyes.

The game is on. There are traitors among us.

They want to betray you and keep all the silver for themselves.

And if at least one of the traitors remains until the end of the game,-

-the silver is lost for you.

-Is the atmosphere a little different here? -Just a little.

The word is yours.

Now I am disappointed. I wanted to be a traitor,-

but I didn't become one.

My tactic now is just to be a little calm and scan.

And try to look for clues.

We can do like last time, that everyone says they are loyal.

-One by one. -Oh, that's fun.

Shall I start? I am loyal.

I am loyal.

-I am loyal. -I am loyal.

-I am loyal. -I am loyal.

-I, Hkeem, am loyal. -I am loyal.

I am loyal.

I am loyal.

I am loyal.

-I am loyal. -I am loyal.

-I am loyal. -I am loyal.

I am loyal.

Don't kill me, please. I believe in you.

Very strange to think that there was someone lying now.

-Ja. -Very surreal.

One thing I also thought... When Mads said:

"You loyal ones can win..." There was some kind of thing he said to us.

Then there were some who sat like that and nodded: "Yes, we are loyal."

-They were busy nodding. -Who was it?

I saw that you did it, but I actually did it myself too.

I thought it wasn't smart. Then it seems like...

-You talk a lot. -Yes, but I always do.

And I said I would continue with that. Otherwise it's very weird.

When Margrethe started talking, I thought: "No, be quiet."

"You must not draw attention to yourself."

There was something about looking at each other and nodding.

Or that was before. One had to decide whether to kill the loyal ones.

And then I heard some creaking...

Be quiet!

But one moves all the time.

I did too. I cleared my throat, so it's not a clue.

But we have to start talking.

Can I throw the game's first hiss?

-I'll hiss at you a little. -That's too bad.

-Sorry, Jennie. -Why?

-What does "sus-e" mean? -To suspect. Sorry.

Can I make the game's first suspicion?

Then you can cut it back.

"Sus" is short for "suspicious" which means "mysterious".

And if you say "suspicious", four syllables,-

-you can say "sus", one syllable instead.

Then you're four times more productive when you say that word.

I suspect you a little. I'm not saying it's you,-

-but if I die, know that I suspected her a little.

Do you know what? It feels really painful to be the first one to get it.

That's because you nodded unnaturally much when you said you were loyal.

"I am loyal." As if you did it on instruction.

But it doesn't have to mean anything.

Everyone here is terrified of being killed and voted out.

But there's only one percent suspicion on you.

I think that's enough for now.

One last tip:

Lock the door tonight.

Sleep well!

-Was it uncomfortable? -Yes.

If I had been looked at directly right away,-

-I think I would have been...

So I understand that.

I actually feel completely shaken up.

I think my body reacted in a completely unexpected way,-

-to being pointed at right away.

Don't overthink.

Of course it's uncomfortable to sit and watch-

-your girlfriend start to cry-

-because Aslak is being so direct to one person,-

-and she is the first one to be singled out.

And then I can't do anything special-

-because I'm sitting in this chair.

It's a little painful to feel like we're playing against each other,-

-and how to react when the other party-

-is not doing well, I find it a little difficult.

I really don't think this has any impact on the game going forward.

So you don't need to worry about it.

I think everyone forms their own opinion -

-so just take a breath.

I feel a bit guilty, but I just have to shake it off.

It was a very mild accusation I made against Jennie.

May I quote Shakespeare here? It goes as follows.

"Clarence is come, false, fleeting, perjured Clarence,"-

-"That stabbed me in the field by Tewkesbury."

"Seize him, furies! Bind him in eternal chains!"

I felt relieved.

I don't want to be a traitor and a betrayer.

I want to be among the loyal ones.

I suspect Robin and Victor.

They became very quiet and passive, in a way.

Anne Marie seemed completely normal.

I think I would have noticed if she had been on the wrong side.

We must remember this situation when we eventually find out who the traitors are.

That we sat like this and enjoyed ourselves around a table.

I quickly noticed that when we mingled afterwards,-

-people started to chat a little more.

It's very interesting to see where they direct their suspicion.

It could actually be a couple, where both are traitors.

It's completely random who ends up next to whom in the pile,

-but it could actually be a couple.

I'm pretty sure that Torstein is a traitor.

98 percent sure.

His gaze avoided me very much. He was a little red in the face.

But I won't tell anyone this,-

-because I want to play with Torstein as the traitor.

And I hope that it will make him spare me-

-when the traitors have to eliminate some of us loyal ones.

So we return to the living room,-

- And I hope to see something in Victor that gives a hint.

When you have nothing else to go by...

No one has anything to go by now, but we will do more tomorrow.

I will look him deep in the eyes, and ask: "Are you a traitor?"

Shall we try to say it to each other one more time?

I am not loyal... No!

-I am loyal! -Oh my God!

Is it possible, Rob?

It's every time. I fuck up every time!

"I am not loyal!"

I am loyal!

I genuinely believe that you are loyal, -

- because I think you would have messed up long before...

I feel like Victor saved me a bit by saying, "This happens every time, Rob."

You always freak out.

It's so stupid. Only Rob can do things like that.

And Victor wasn't asked, so I'm at a loss with him.

The clock rings for bedtime, and the night is over for the loyal ones.

-Then it's goodnight. -That was creepy.

But the traitors can't go to bed properly yet.

-Sleep well, folks. -Until we meet again.

-No, don't say it. -What?

-I said, "Good night, until we meet again." -No!

The loyal ones have gone nervous into the night,-

-and the traitors shall meet for the first time.

Every night from now on, the traitors gather-

-to find out which of the loyal ones shall be killed-

-and with that, disappear from the game.

-Oh my god. -Ai, ai, ai.

When I saw you, I thought: "Is it just us?"

Yes, I thought so too. I only saw you.

-But it's just us, obviously. -Yes.

Well, here we sit and are going to lie, betray and kill.

-Are you ready for it? -I'm ready for it, yeah.

Me too.

To sit in the conclave with Anne Marie-

-and talk about who we're going to crush,-

-with her whom I saw in "Amalie's Christmas" and on children's TV.

It's a very bizarre thing. Very strange.

-Hi. -Hi, hi.

Welcome to our place. Make yourself comfortable.

At first, I was very surprised to see only Anne Marie.

-Did you expect to see more? -Yes, one more.

That's partly why I'm here. Now you'll have a choice-

-that will have a big impact on the game going forward.

Either, tonight, you can...

...kill someone. Or if you want to strengthen the team,-

-you can choose to tempt someone tonight.

Mads says we can either choose to kill someone,-

-or choose to tempt someone to join our team.

And then everything changes in a way.

-So this is an important decision. -Yes.

You can discuss among yourselves. Think carefully.

-Good luck. -Thank you.

Yes...

-A pretty tough decision we have to make. -A tough decision, but...

I think tempting seems much more tempting than killing.

But what if they say no.

Then we have a night where we haven't killed anyone or gained anyone on our side.

Yes, exactly, a wasted opportunity.

But it would be nice to be someone else.

-Yes. -I have a feeling-

-that quite a few would like to become a traitor.

I believe so.

Then we agree. It's only the two of us who decide.

-Should we write it down? -Yes.

Like this.

And we have all the power.
