[ Thunder rumbles ]
-Would you backstab your best friend to get the money?
-There's nothing I won't do in this game.
-Previously on "The Traitors,"
an all-star cast arrived at my castle
deep in the Scottish Highlands.
-Let the games begin.
-How does it feel to be the second best-dressed guy?
-Back off, bitch.
The players made a strong start
towards the $250,000 prize pot.
-Guys, connect.
[ Cheering ] -You've bagged $30,000.
The traitors were chosen.
-Oh, this is my sport.
It’s time to start making some heads roll.
-I’m definitely going to be queen of this castle.
-And there was a twist in my tale.
The traitors are not yet complete.
One of you could be turned to the dark side.
Choose wisely, traitors.
-Who do you think will do a good job?
-It’s between Parvati...
-She can be a shield for us.
-Mm-hmm. Janelle...
-She loves to win.
-...Larsa,
her and Marcus.
-You got to break them up. -You got to.
What about Sandra? She’s a good game player.
-This decision could mean the difference
between victory and defeat.
-The huge risk with recruiting this person
is I’m not sure at the end of the day, I can trust them.
-Have you decided who will join you?
-We have.
-I shall deliver your note swiftly, silently, and secretly.
**
Welcome to the dark side.
-I think this new recruit is going to be
very, very excited to have the power of being a traitor.
They want to win.
And I think they've got killing in their blood.
-Their reputation is very cutthroat,
cunning, and deceptive, which is what we need more of
in the traitor turret right now.
**
-[ Gasps, laughs ]
Oh, my God.
"Dear Parvati, we have chosen you to join us as a traitor.
You will join us for the first time
at our next secret meeting."
[ Laughing ] Oh, my God.
I’m freaking out right now.
I feel, like, electricity popping in my chest about this.
I’m having, like, heart palpitations right now.
This is exciting for me. Now I’m one of them.
One of the people who has power in this game.
Yes, I accept your invitation to be a traitor.
I guess it’s time to put on my devil horns
and play the dark side.
**
-So our diabolical duo
is about to become a treacherous trio.
Parvati won’t know the identity of her fellow traitors
until tomorrow night.
Before that, though, Dan and Phaedra
will claim their first victim.
Till death do us part.
-Phaedra, how do you feel about our decision?
-I think we’ve made a wise choice.
-I think she’ll help us get to the end of the game.
-I hope so.
-Are you ready to, like, murder someone?
Like, do you, like -- do you feel like you got it in you?
-I got it in me. -[ Laughs ]
-[ Laughs ] Oh, yes, baby.
-This is why I came to play "Traitors."
I didn’t want to be a faithful and Kumbaya
and let’s work as a team.
I wanted to operate in the shadows.
And this is where I do my best work.
Let’s focus on confusion.
Who can we murder... -Yeah.
-...that’s gonna cause confusion?
-Confusion. -Kevin comes to mind.
-I really like Kevin. He’s a good guy.
-That’s exactly why we murder him.
Kevin hasn’t done anything to anyone.
We’re going to go into breakfast,
everyone’s going to come in, go "Kevin?"
-"What did he do?" -Yeah.
Phaedra is a Real Housewife, and she deals with a lot of,
like, backstabbing and things like that.
But this game is very different.
As we talk, I realize I can push a little bit
and get my agenda done
so my ideas are the ones being executed.
I’m just throwing this out here.
Johnny Bananas. -Wow.
Well, I sort of think he’s funny.
-I think he’s someone who has the ability to catch us.
-He is a wild horse.
But we need to win the missions, so we don’t want to take out
someone that’s super strong that can help us win the money.
I’ve never played this type of game,
and Dan understands exactly what he’s been placed here to do.
He’s won "Big Brother" twice. This is Dan’s playground.
But I understand people,
I understand strategy, and I understand deception.
Okay, so who else?
-What do you think about murdering Peppermint?
-I think it could be interesting.
She is an encyclopedia for reality stars.
She definitely knows all of our résumés.
-I think at some point, she’s going to be onto me.
-So we might need to kill Peppermint.
-So we got a bunch of options on the table.
-But I trust your judgment on this one.
**
-Do you feel good about our first murder?
-Yes. I think we’re going to be a dynamic duo.
-Once we open up this box, there’s no closing it.
-Shall we sign the warrants? -Let’s do it.
For our first of many murders together.
-Yes.
-First murder.
How do you feel? -Exhilarated.
-[ Laughs ]
-* Now you move on *
-This murder is going to shock everyone.
People are really going to be upset.
But at the end of the day, someone has to die.
-* Holding on like that *
* Only breaks your back *
* When demons attack *
* They’ll shatter you like glass *
-I’ve been waiting for this moment.
I get to control who goes home in this game,
and I get to have a lot of fun hiding in the shadows.
I have no remorse for murdering people in this game.
They signed up to get slaughtered,
and I signed up to slaughter every one of them.
**
-* You better run, you better hide *
* This ain't gonna be fun *
* Cut the strings, cut the ties *
* Goodbye and now you move on *
**
[ Wolf howls ]
**
-Now that the traitors have claimed their first victim,
the game has truly started.
This morning, the surviving players
will assemble at breakfast.
One player won’t arrive,
and currently only Dan and Phaedra know
who that is.
**
-Ooh. First ones. -Oh, my gosh. First ones.
-Yeah. -All right, all right.
-Okay, okay. -We're safe.
-We're safe. We made it. -We made it. We made it.
-Man. -I can’t believe it.
Coming into breakfast, I’m so relieved that I’m still here.
But I’m starving, so I’m just focused on the smoked salmon.
Want some salmon? -I’m good, thank you.
-Okay. -I’ll take some of that, thanks.
I don’t think anyone has any idea
of how strategic I could be, but I’ll be looking out
for everyone’s reactions as people walk in.
Hopefully people will start to slip up,
some tells will start to be revealed,
and we can find out who these traitors are.
Because I want to win this game more than anything.
I hate losing.
-I’ve always wanted to be in a murder mystery-like thing.
-Now you’re living in it. -Now I'm living it.
That is crazy. -Yeah.
-[ Laughs ] [ Knock on door ]
-Hi. -Hey.
-Hey, guys, we made it.
-Hi.
I am relieved still to be in the game.
And I’m ready to drink a cup of English breakfast tea.
Some buttered toast.
But above all, I’m thirsting to discover
who doesn’t turn up at breakfast.
-You guys, this is starting to get stressful.
I literally could not sleep all night, you know what I mean?
-Same. -I just feel relief.
I have to be honest. This to me is fun.
I’m just being myself, just doing my best to blend in
with everyone else, and they have no clue.
[ Knock on door ]
-Oh, my God.
-Hey. -Hey.
[ Cheering ]
-I’m alive. -Oh, my God, girl.
-Entering the breakfast room with me being a murderer,
I’m just excited that no blood is dripping off my fingertips.
-Did you seriously think
anybody would want to murder you?
-Child, the girls always want to kill me.
[ Laughter ] I’m very under the radar.
But I am a lawyer, so I keep deadly secrets all the time.
So this is sort of par for the course for me.
[ Laughs ]
-Do you guys think a traitor's amongst us now?
-Is there at least one in here? -All of us could be faithful.
-I feel like there’s for sure a traitor in this group.
-At least one, if not two, right now in this group.
-Probably. -Jesus.
Makes your heart race, doesn't it?
-It does. -* Dun dun dun dun *
-Phaedra, it does. [ Knock on door ]
-Oh! -Oh, my God, I can’t take it.
[ Cheering ]
-Yeah, baby.
-Hey, guys.
* I’m alive *
I was so worried I was going to be murdered
because I had a little thing with Peppermint.
And now I have to address this elephant in the room.
Right before we went upstairs to bed last night,
we were, like, all sitting with, like, Peppermint.
I was like, "Okay, well, if I get murdered,
then I’ll know that you’re a traitor, haha."
And her face was like --
And it was just like a very jolted look.
-I brought some really fabulous outfits
I’d like to wear for you. -Me too.
If I get murdered, she’s a traitor.
-Oh, my gosh. [ Gasps ] -[ Laughs ] I’m kidding.
-Really?
-I would say when she walks in,
just watch her, see how she is.
-I’ll keep an eye out.
[ Knock on door ]
**
-Drum roll.
**
[ Cheering ]
-Oh, my God, Phaedra.
-Nice. Welcome back. Welcome back.
-I was worried about you. -Oh.
-Oh, my God. This is crazy.
I am losing my mind walking into breakfast as a traitor.
Everything is different.
-Parvati, were you at all, like, nervous last night?
-I was dead scared.
It’s really throwing me for a loop.
It feels like shifting sands beneath my feet.
And I’m trying very hard to find some solid ground.
-I want to know who got recruited.
Who is the recruit?
-Can I have the coffee? -Yeah, yeah. Go ahead.
-I feel like everyone is looking at me.
I’m going straight from being recruited
to being thrown to the wolves at breakfast.
-If you were a traitor, who would you recruit and why?
-I think someone that no one would suspect.
-I’m with you. I could see that.
**
[ Knock on door ]
**
[ Cheering ]
**
-Coming into breakfast, and I’m looking around the room
and everybody freaking looks guilty.
Every single person looks like a traitor to me.
-Ooh, this is getting intense.
It’s the time to look at body language right now.
-Right now, I am so curious.
Who are these other traitors?
I think it’s got to be Sandra.
She knows me from "Survivor,"
so she knows that I can read people pretty well.
-So, wait. Who’s left?
-Johnny Bananas.
-Peppermint. -Peppermint.
Kevin. -And Kevin.
-I’m a new traitor, so I don’t know
who they murdered last night.
It could be any one of them.
-In what world is Johnny Bananas not coming back?
I think Kevin is gone.
Obviously it’s not Peppermint because she is a traitor.
[ Pounding on door ]
[ Screaming ]
-Oh, my gosh.
**
-Ohhh! -Ohhh!
**
[ Pounding on door ]
[ Screaming ] -Oh, my gosh.
**
[ Cheering ]
**
-It’s Bananas.
-No! -No!
-There's no way.
-Wait, Johnny Bananas got murdered?
-Yes. -No.
**
-I think we get rid of Johnny Bananas.
-Johnny Bananas sends a strong message.
-Are you going to feel bad at all?
-No. [ Chuckles ]
Johnny Bananas is going to shake the room.
**
-[ Sighs ]
**
"Dear Johnny Bananas.
By order of the traitors, you have been murdered.
Signed, the traitors."
It stings.
And not to toot my own horn,
but the house is going to be a lot less fun
now that I’m not around.
I definitely made a mistake.
This game is like a jar of jalapeños.
What you do today is going to burn your ass tomorrow.
-I’m shocked, actually.
Like, I can’t believe it. -I am shocked.
-Damn. -Damn.
Guess that means I’m next. -I’m shocked.
-Bananas being eliminated so early
doesn’t sit well with me
because, you know, I could potentially be next.
Anybody who’s ever watched "The Challenge"
knows we are arguably the best to ever do it.
Pray for me.
-He was obviously very loud and really good in challenges,
but he’s somebody who can’t be controlled.
-Girl. -Peppermint.
Could you clarify the situation with you and Trishelle?
-Uh-oh.
-What situation did we have? -Uh-oh.
-Last night.
-Okay, tell me what.
-We were talking about, like, clothes.
And I was like, "Well, if I’m murdered,
then I know that you’re a traitor."
You were like -- Your face --
I felt like I made an accidental find, basically,
because, like, it was a joke.
-Oh, honey, this is some bullshit.
I mean, let me tell you this.
If you get murdered, it might be by my look.
But it won’t be because I’m a traitor.
-Oh! [ Imitates whip crack ] -Okay.
-I might knock 'em dead in this way, but I’m not a traitor.
-Do you know what, guys? The game has started. Mwahaha.
-Game on. -[ Laughs ]
-[ Gasps ]
-Look at this outfit. Oh, my gosh.
-Oh, yes.
-Good morning, my merry little breakfast club.
-Good morning. -Good morning.
-How are you? Settling in?
Or should I say unsettling in? [ Laughter ]
They say breakfast is the most important meal of the day.
And it really is for you lot
as it signals that you’re actually alive.
But you know what’s not on the breakfast menu today?
Bananas.
[ All groan ]
-Too soon, Alan. Too soon.
-[ Laughs ]
-Johnny Bananas, challenger no more.
Faithful, soon you will have the chance to strike back
at tonight’s round table.
There you will banish from the game forever
a player you suspect of being a traitor.
But you’ll want to have your wits about you,
as last night, not only did the traitors bump off Bananas,
they also recruited another player
to join their murderous band.
**
[ Laughs ] Oh, the intrigue.
But first, you all have a mission to complete.
Split yourselves into three groups
and I’ll meet you outside shortly.
Ciao, tutti.
-Let’s go. Let’s get our mental game.
-Let’s go.
-Oh, man, that was intense.
**
-[ Gasps ] -Oh.
-Just walk slower for a second.
I got to ask you a couple things.
I’ve been watching our new recruit with an eagle eye.
It gives me insight into how they’re gonna be as a traitor.
Has anyone said anything, like --
-To me about you? -Yeah.
-No. Are people worried about you, you think?
-No, no, I just want to make sure because, like --
-So you’re not a traitor? -No.
-Okay. Because I think there’s like three or four.
-You think there’s that many? -Yeah.
They recruited. -No, I know.
But you feel good about me? -Yes.
-Okay. All right.
**
-Do you think that people may be suspecting you
harder than other people?
-If they weren’t, they must be now.
But it was turned into something much bigger than it was.
Because for me, it was just like a weird comment
and I was like, oh, you know.
-That breakfast room is dangerous because,
you know, you throw one thing out there
while everybody’s there and,
you know, it could become the narrative.
-I mean, this is the thing -- Trishelle said
"If I’m killed, that means you’re a traitor."
The bitch is sitting at the table.
She’s not even dead.
So, like, what are we talking about?
I’m not a pro at this.
I’ve obviously never done it before.
And so I’m learning as I go.
But I guess I better figure it out soon
because I don’t want to get banished.
-It’s tough. Tough sell. -I don’t know, bro.
Every time she says something, it’s, like, super defensive.
-I just, uh...
-Time will tell, I guess.
**
-Obviously, we have a mission we’re going to do,
but what are we thinking for a banishment?
-My intuition is telling me that John is a traitor.
-Why do you say that?
-Because you never trust a politician, I don’t know.
[ Laughter ] I mean --
-You're not wrong. -That's legit. That's legit.
-They have a good game face.
-Did you hear the breathing from the round table?
-Yeah.
-Alan’s going around picking traitors,
and there was a very noticeable moment
where John did some like, [Inhales deeply]
-You were having some breathing problems?
-Yeah, was that you? -I don’t breathe brilliantly.
-Oh, okay. -I’m slightly asthmatic.
-I think he was tapped by Alan,
and he couldn’t contain himself.
-Like an involuntary response
because you just got picked as a traitor?
I’m curious, though, to see if there is any noticeable behavior
for, like, anyone now that they’ve been recruited.
-Yeah.
-Me and Parvati have history.
It’s not great history, so I really need to see
and get a feel for where Parvati is at.
If I get the vibe that she’s a traitor,
then I’m going to grab all the faithfuls and take her out.
I’m here to get to the end.
-We’re looking for the people that we think are lying.
It’s really hard to know right now.
**
-Oh, wow.
-In today’s mission, the players have split
themselves into three groups
to try and win money for the collective prize pot.
-* Blue team * -Oh, my God.
-Hello, my little field workers.
-Hey. -Hey.
-Oh, loving this look.
-Yes, I know. Uncanny, isn’t it? [ Laughter ]
Players, you’ve only just met,
but as we all know, first impressions count.
And no more so than in today’s mission.
The task is deceptively simple.
All you have to do
is to get to my field of gold as fast as you can.
And $20,000 worth of gold is in that field.
To get there, each group must follow a separate path
along which you will discover questions in locked boxes.
The questions are about your opinions on your fellow players.
And the answers are based on questionnaires
I asked you all to complete earlier.
You will also meet along the way
a number of my scarecrow friends.
They were represent the possible answers.
Simply pick up the scarecrow you think is the correct answer
and carry it until you reach the next question box.
If your answer is correct,
that Scarecrow will unlock the next question.
And you’ll proceed along the path.
But time is of the essence.
The quicker everyone gets to the field of gold,
the greater chance you’ll have of banking some big bucks.
Now listen up.
The field holds more than just gold.
There will also be three shields hidden amongst it.
And whoever finds one of these shields
will be protected from tonight’s murder.
So, my dear players, it’s a simple dilemma.
What do you value more today?
Money for the group,
or your sole survival?
So get to the field, get the gold,
and potentially get a life.
-Ah. -There’s $20,000 on the line,
and you have 30 minutes to complete it
starting...
now.
[ All shouting ]
-Quick, players, money or your life.
**
-Let’s go, guys.
-Come on, fellas, why are you going so slow?
-Come on, red team!
-This scarecrow challenge is torture.
Running up and down hills, through the woods.
-Workout queens. -Try to find scarecrows.
-Come up here.
-We need to get to the final field quickly
to try to find as much gold and shields as possible.
-Here it is.
-Larsa and Marcus.
-Read it. -"According to the group,
whose opinion do you value most?"
-[Bleep]
-I feel like the right answer is Marcus.
He’s literally the smartest guy that I know.
-Uh... -Who do you think?
-Who’s been more vocal? -What would the group say?
Larsa. She has a lot of friends.
-One thing that’s great about this mission
is the faithful are telling us exactly
what they’re thinking about everyone.
-I thought it was Marcus, you guys.
-It’s all good.
-It’s Marcus. We got it, guys. Come on.
-Keep going. -Yep, I got it.
Let’s go. -Let's go.
-I said Marcus. -I’ll say Marcus.
-Wait, who's the other person? -I'll say Marcus too.
-Marcus is obviously very influential.
-I said Marcus. He said Marcus.
She said Marcus. Yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah.
-If he is that influential, that might be a good thing
to have in our treasure chest when it comes to the turret.
-We got Marcus and Larsa.
-Okay. -I would say Marcus
because he has, like, theories that he talks about.
-If they were giving me an opinion, I’d listen to Marcus.
-All right, we got it. Marcus.
-Great, somebody grab it. -Oh, my God.
-Where are we going? -Move, move. Here.
-Oh, good. -Got it.
-Let go, let go, let go, let go! -All right.
-Oh, yes! All right.
Let’s go, y'all. All right, baby.
Right here, right here. -We got it, guys. Come on.
Let’s go. -This is great for me right now.
I definitely feel like the players trust me.
Hopefully that lasts.
-Players, five minutes have passed.
25 minutes remaining.
-Our priority is to get to the field to get the gold.
Pace matters. We can’t dillydally.
[ Shouts ] -Oh, God, John.
John, are you okay? -Yeah, fine.
-We’re definitely not Olympians.
We’re more like the Bad News Bears.
**
-I have suspicions about John.
-Come on!
-He had told Janelle that he has asthma.
-Come on!
So today I thought I’m going to ask him a question.
-Get in there. -I need my inhaler.
John, are you sure you don’t have an inhaler?
-No, sorry.
-Everybody knows if you have asthma,
you’re going to need an inhaler.
-Where is the question?
-Some of these questions are nice.
-Say it, say it, say it.
-Some of these questions are kind of spicy.
-"Who’s the most popular player?"
-Deontay or Peppermint?
-What the [bleep] question is this?
-Deontay for sure. Deontay.
-Deontay. -Deontay.
-Oh, Deontay, definitely.
-I said Deontay,
everyone on my team said Deontay.
I know it’s Deontay.
-I said Peppermint for my answer.
-Deontay is just famous.
-I kind of thought, "Come on." I mean...
-I said Peppermint. -I say it’s Deontay.
-Choosing who was the most popular person,
I feel so awkward.
-Hey, who’s more popular? You or Deontay?
Yesterday. -Let’s try me. Let’s try me.
-Everybody loves Peppermint. -Let's try Peppermint.
-Nobody loves Deontay.
-Now I’m thinking about it, I’m second guessing myself.
-Oh, let’s just run with it
and then we’ll come back if we have to.
-Let’s just go.
And then I can just say I told you so.
-Okay, fair enough. -You guys, it’s Deontay.
-It’s a tug of war.
Is it Peppermint or is it Deontay?
-I think so too, yeah.
-There’s a consensus in my group...
-Let’s go back. We’ll go back. Let’s go back.
-...to run back and drop me on the ground...
-Throw it down.
-...to pick up Deontay's scarecrow.
I think it’s wrong. -Go, go, go, go, go.
-But I’ll go with the group dynamic.
-Right there. I see the box right here.
Use the key. Here. -Why isn't it unlocking?
-Not the right key? -Twist it.
-It’s gotta be Deontay. He’s the most popular player.
-I think we got to go back. Let’s go.
Let’s go back. Not wasting our time.
-We gotta go back. -Oh, my gosh.
-It won't open.
I am so surprised.
I’m pretty sure the key is broken.
It’s Peppermint. We’re wasting time, guys.
-That was a trick question. Ain't no way.
I’m wrong. Apparently it’s Peppermint.
-We gotta go back down that hill.
-Oh, you got it. Yeah.
Drop it, drop it! -Ready?
Go, go! -Let’s go to the next.
-Please be Deontay.
-Try. It’s not turning.
-Oh, man. -No.
-Let’s go. -All right, come on.
-I knew it.
-This goon squad up here.
-Focus on the game.
-It’s all good. It’s all good. It’s all good.
-So we had to go all the way back,
drop Deontay’s scarecrow,
pick mine up off the ground... -Sorry.
-...and run it all the way back.
-That’s it. -That’s it?
-Yeah. We knew it was Peppermint.
-All right, we’re moving forward.
It’s over. Keep moving.
-You now have 15 minutes left.
Run like the wind.
-Keep going. Don’t worry.
**
-So, Kevin, when you get there,
just yell the question out to us.
-If I can find it.
-Right here, right here, right here, right here.
-Ooh! The yellow team are ahead, leading the charge.
Go, yellow.
-All right, I got you. -Shereé and Dan.
-"According to the group, who needs to speak up more?"
-Shereé. No, Dan, Dan.
-My name being one of the answers definitely puts me
to the front of the conversation.
-Dan. -Yeah, Dan.
-My whole plan into this game
is to speak only when spoken to and keep a very low profile.
-I like that answer. -It's Dan.
-I like that answer. Come on.
-I said Dan. -Dan.
-I think that’s interesting that people have already noticed
that he’s such an introvert.
I’m not sure if it’s going to work for this game.
-Dan rarely speaks up.
Shereé, she’s always talking with us.
-Okay. -Dan.
-Dan. Careful. It's top-heavy.
It's top-heavy. It's top-heavy. -Right here, guys.
-Right here, right here. -Here’s the box.
-We're doing great.
-There we go. -Let's go, guys.
-You get it? Yes! -Well done.
-Let’s go. -Let's go.
-My heart sinks a little bit.
I hope I don’t have to change up
how I’m playing this game completely.
-A field of gold and shields awaits.
-Watch your head. -Go, go, go, go.
-My mind is spinning,
but I feel like if I get a shield,
it will really drive home the fact I’m a faithful.
So I’m going to make a play for it.
-This way. -Come on, guys.
-Nah, we’re in the field now.
-Hey, we’re the first ones.
-It’s this way.
-I hear the cavalry approaching.
-Oh my God.
**
-10 of these scarecrows contain gold.
Three of these scarecrows wearing hats
contain shields.
**
-I finally get to the top of this hill,
and it’s just a very creepy, ominous vibe.
-Welcome to the Field of Death.
Will you venture to the back and save your lives?
Or will you go for gold?
Ooh! Peter is going to the back for the shields.
-It’s very crucial that I can get a shield to just not stress,
to be able to sleep tonight.
-Dan is going for a shield.
How very, very interesting.
-Real gold in here. -You must bring the gold to me.
-I’m all about the money, baby, so show me the money.
[ Cash register dings ]
Cha-ching.
-[ Panting ] -The blues have arrived.
Rip open the bulging chest of those scarecrows
and see what you can find.
-Come on.
-Here's the first red.
John Bercow sprinting over the horizon.
It’s terrifying.
-I am determined to get a shield.
Let’s rip the stuffing out of this wretched beast.
-There’s no way.
Obviously, I want to raise as much money as possible.
But if there’s an opportunity to get a shield,
I’m definitely taking it.
I can't open it.
-[ Groans ]
-I don’t want folks to think
that I’m not able to contribute in any kind of way.
So let me just stick to what I know and get some gold.
-I’m ripping open scarecrows. Can’t find anything.
And all of a sudden I hear a thud on the ground.
I got a shield.
I was thinking about the double bluff.
I got a shield.
"Oh, Dan’s going for the shield because he feels unsafe.
There’s no way he’s a traitor."
-Here we go. One more gold bar.
I’ve never heard such heavy breathing in my life,
and that’s saying something.
Two minutes remaining, and only two out
of 10 gold bars has been discovered thus far.
-Come on!
-It's hard on the hands. -I gotta go hard.
-Bring the gold to my basket.
Bravo, Peppermint.
10 seconds remaining.
9, 8, 7...
-I got two.
-...six, five, four,
three... -Yay!
-...two, one.
Time’s up, players.
Walk away from the scarecrows.
[ All panting ]
Players, you’ve managed to bank eight gold bars
worth a total of $16,000. [ Cheering ]
-We’ll take it, we’ll take it, we’ll take it.
-However,
you could have banked the full $20,000,
but many of you chose to prioritize your lives
searching for a shield rather than adding to the prize pot.
Only one shield was successfully claimed.
You’ve probably all learned a fair bit about each other
during that mission.
Did any answers get you a step closer to rooting out a traitor?
Shall we head back? -Yeah.
-And please do check your shoes.
The only dirt I want to be flung around my castle
should be at the round table later.
-That amount of money feels kind of good.
-Let’s go, team. -Yay!
-$16,000 in the bank.
-Apparently I’m the most popular,
but me being popular with a bunch of snakes and traitors,
let’s see how far that popularity gets me tonight.
**
-What are we going to do? We’re going to go change.
-I personally feel, like, a little lumberjack-y.
-Whew. -[ Humming ]
-It’s getting serious. -I know.
-Okay. -Yeah.
-Parvati has no clue I’m a traitor.
But she’s also known as the Black Widow.
She spins a web.
And this mission really exposed me in a couple ways.
So she’s someone that can help keep the faithfuls off my tail.
**
-Mm-hmm.
He was the one that said he has asthma.
Then people were saying today he didn’t have it.
-Well, I asked him today.
-Okay, but do you have a cold?
Hold on. Hey. -Hi.
-John, you run fast.
-Well, I fell over. -Yeah.
I think you still have a little bit mud on your face.
-Oh, have I? I didn’t know that. Wow.
-I don’t think that John can be trusted.
You never really hear great things about politicians.
Aren’t they professional liars?
There’s something in my gut
that’s telling me John’s a traitor.
-So how are you feeling right now?
-I feel -- I mean, it’s obvious that my name is,
like, going around. -Yeah.
-And so I don’t feel good about it.
I’m upset that’s the situation.
I don’t like being accused of things that I didn’t do.
If Trishelle is really concerned about not banishing a traitor --
**
I mean not banishing a faithful --
-You just -- you just -- you keep doing that.
-Okay, well, hold on.
-You threw yourself under the bus again.
-Oh, girl.
Somehow the word traitor came out.
It was a slip-up.
But, I mean, find me a human being
that hasn’t accidentally said
the opposite what they meant to say.
Oh, Lord.
I was tongue tied.
And I’ll have to go and have the doctor check out my tongue.
I don’t know. Whatever.
-Maks, the story that I told today, like,
about what happened last night or whatever with Peppermint,
did you feel -- -To me, it's non-story.
-So you didn’t think it was suspicious?
-I don’t think so.
-I have a feeling that Maks thinks I’m lying.
-The Peppermint and the you stuff for me
was just out of nowhere.
The traitors by now would have decided what the game plan is.
And now it’s like, you know, you and Peppermint are at it.
So for me, that’s a little suspect.
-Trishelle is irresponsibly floating someone’s name,
and I don’t like being accused of something that I’ve not done.
-But she says that you had a huge expression on your face.
There was like -- like almost, like, looked guilty.
We were in there, and it was a playful
conversation between you. -We all agree.
-I’m not buying anything Trishelle is saying.
I don’t get it. I don’t get traitor from Peppermint.
**
-* He was a dead man walking to his fate *
* Vengeance was sweet on my tongue *
-I know that my name has been circulated,
and it doesn’t feel good,
but the book isn’t closed on me just yet.
-I am convinced Peppermint is a traitor.
I hope that they believe me,
but then I’m not sure how much weight I have in this game
as far as people’s believability in what I have to say.
**
-Is my name to be up there as a candidate for banishment?
I don’t know, but I’m girding my loins,
ready for battle if necessary.
-I need to be on the right side of this vote,
and I want to vote with the numbers.
But I don’t want to banish one of the other traitors.
I’m feeling nervous about that.
**
-Players, welcome to the round table.
**
Here, we will convene each night
to set about the business of banishing one of you forever.
The last time you were here, the traitors were chosen.
**
And they in turn have chosen another to join them.
**
Look around you.
**
Who can you trust?
Who is carrying the weight of deceit upon their shoulders?
Who is a traitor?
**
In a moment, you will have a discussion.
Then you will each cast one vote.
The player who receives the most votes,
be they faithful or traitor,
will be banished immediately.
Players.
The floor is yours.
Let democracy rule.
**
-I’d like to speak.
**
-I’d like to speak and address the room.
My name has been floated around.
Trishelle and I were having a conversation
with other people in the room.
-As a joke, I said, "If I get murdered tonight,
then I know you’re a traitor, haha."
And then you looked very jolted.
Like, it looked like I hit a nerve.
It looked like I found you out.
**
Bad joke. -Yeah. Don’t go into comedy.
**
-I don’t remember having a reaction
as dramatic as you’re saying.
I remember it being like,
"Bitch, what are you talking about?"
-Who was literally there when this conversation happened?
-I was sitting right there.
-Okay, so you heard what she said?
-Yeah. I did not feel like it was a big thing.
I thought it was a joking conversation.
-It’s more suspicious to me
that Peppermint’s name got thrown out,
you know, today, out of nowhere.
All of a sudden, now it’s Peppermint,
and it’s like, well, where's the evidence?
The evidence is gossip and hearsay.
I just don’t find you to be the traitor.
And I think it just came about a little strange.
-I’m questioning why you would
have conversations about this today,
and it seems like continuously...
-Me? -You.
...and go to talk to everybody else in this room
except for me when you said -- -I did speak to you.
-I mean, that wasn’t the last time we were around each other.
-Listen. Listen to me. -Hold on.
I’m gonna finish. -I have been respectful to you.
You be respectful to me, okay? -I’m gonna finish.
-Don’t put your hand in my face like that.
-I’m -- -It’s disrespectful.
**
-Don't do that. -Okay.
**
But you could have come up and talk to me.
I know I’m [bleep] faithful,
so either you’re a traitor
and you want my name to go out there,
which is something that a traitor would do,
or you’re cavalier
about watching another faithful go down.
-Peppermint.
Earlier in the kitchen, we were talking,
and then you slipped up and said, "I’m a traitor."
**
-That a Freudian slip or something like that?
-I mean, listen.
-Oh, my God.
-Listen, I’m not a traitor. It was a slip-up.
-You implied you were a traitor, correct?
-It was implied. Yeah. -That’s all we need to know.
-Peppermint,
I think that discrepancies today in, you know,
your explanations, you know, just cause concern for me.
-And so someone’s gonna float a name,
and you all are going to just jump on to that name
as long as it’s not yours.
The traitors are okay with this.
They want you to look everywhere but at them.
-I just think this is kind of like gossip.
We don’t have any real evidence.
-I don’t think that you’re a traitor.
We all know that we’ve been having conversations
about what happened at this table the first time.
-I mean, I can talk about John’s breathing.
I think it was the final time that Alan did the lap.
And I heard, John, you were struggling to breathe.
-It was extreme intensity in the room,
and I was pleased it was at an end.
I’ve never breathed particularly well.
I was asthmatic in my youth.
I don’t regard myself as asthmatic today.
-But when you took the mask off, you said,
"I have asthma,"
but you just said "I was asthmatic as a child."
-That’s absolutely true. I was asthmatic as a child.
-Is that what you told her? -You told me you had asthma.
-Look, is asthma a lifelong condition? I don’t regularly --
-That's not the question I’m asking you.
-If you ask me do I use an inhaler --
-I’m asking you did you say that to her?
-I’ll be absolutely honest.
-Well, that’d be good.
-I don’t remember the exact words I used in response,
but what I do recall --
-You’re answering this just like a politician.
-Well, I mean, forgive me, but that’s just a term of abuse.
-But you’re not answering the question.
Did you say, "Yeah, I have asthma?"
-No, you asked me a question. I might not have answered it
in the way that you wanted -- -No.
You kind of went around your elbow to get to your ass.
-No, I didn’t do anything of the sort.
I think that is a spectacularly flimsy basis
upon which to assert that someone is guilty
of being a traitor. All I wanted to say --
-No, it's just showing if you’re lying or not.
**
-The time for talk is over.
**
It’s time to vote.
**
-I can’t really catch a read
on whether my number is up or not.
People don’t seem very happy with John.
And Trishelle,
I’m kind of like, "All right, girl. Hmm."
-This shouldn’t be a game of name calling
or kindergarten behavior
where one person says you’re a baddie.
This should be based on evidence.
-You’ve got people trying to make decisions
based on speculation, so they jump to conclusions.
But that happens in real life.
Innocent people go to jail.
Guilty people get away with murder.
It’s all a treacherous world.
**
-We’re going to begin with Bergie.
**
-Peppermint, I had to go with you.
There’s just not a lot of evidence out there right now,
and all I have to go off of is this morning at breakfast.
-MJ.
-You know, obviously we have to go based on what we can.
John.
-Phaedra.
-Um, I’m not really sure, to be honest.
I’m grasping at straws, like most people.
And so, unfortunately, tonight,
Peppermint, I had to vote for you.
-Sandra, who do you think is a traitor?
-I voted for Peppermint.
-Peter.
-Unfortunately, Peppermint, I had to vote for you.
-John, what do you think is a traitor and why?
-Truth is, none of us has conclusive evidence.
But that evidence that we’ve acquired can’t be ignored.
And for that reason, I have voted Peppermint.
-Janelle.
-Peppermint.
You’ve done so many suspicious things.
Out of all of these people,
you’re the most likely to be a traitor.
-Maks.
-I think there’s a bit of a herd mentality going on.
So I wrote John.
-So that’s six votes for Peppermint,
two for John.
Larsa.
-I voted for you, Peppermint.
-Parvati.
-I'm gonna feel really bad. Peppermint.
-Kevin.
-Pepp.
**
-Peppermint.
-My name seems to have come
out of what I view to be nowhere.
And the person responsible for placing my name into your minds.
**
Trishelle.
-So we have nine votes in total for Peppermint,
two for John, and one for Trishelle.
Peppermint,
if you receive one more vote, you will have the majority,
and you will be banished from the castle.
Trishelle, who do you think is a traitor?
-Peppermint,
if I am responsible for a herd mentality against you,
I deeply, deeply apologize.
But that reaction was the only thing
that pinged me out of everybody here.
If you’re not a traitor,
I’m gonna feel like absolute garbage.
-Peppermint,
you have received the most votes and are banished from the game.
Will the remaining players reveal their votes?
-Peppermint.
-I voted for Peppermint.
-Peppermint, please come forward to the circle of truth.
**
-Peppermint.
**
Before you leave my castle forever,
please reveal to us
are you a faithful...
**
...or a traitor?
**
-Well...
**
...I came into this game because I’m a huge fan.
But the bigger reason for me to come here
is because I’m trying to put all of my energy
and use my platform to advocate for our transgender community.
I will keep being myself.
That will never stop.
But in this game,
I think some of you all have been led astray.
**
I...
am...
**
...a faithful.
-Oh, my God. -Okay.
-Oh, you know what? I am not happy right now.
Y’all came up with this whole concoction.
Wow. -No.
-But she didn’t defend herself well.
That’s what it was.
-Players,
tonight was your first chance to banish a traitor,
and you failed spectacularly.
Faithful, you’ll have to do better than that,
because the traitors are about to press their advantage.
Tonight, they not only welcome a new member,
but they will also take one of you out.
**
As Scottish bard Robert Burns once said,
"Should old Peppermint be forgot
and never brought to mind."
For auld lang syne, my dears.
**
-I know.
-If we keep doing this,
we’re just going to do the traitors a favor.
-I always felt like she was a faithful.
But after hearing everybody, I changed my vote,
and I feel horrible for going with the majority.
-Oh, my God. I am such an idiot.
-[ Scoffs ]
-We can’t keep doing that.
-Damn.
-She said she was a traitor. -She did.
-I genuinely thought she was a traitor.
-Mistakes are going to be made, especially at the beginning.
-I just think
you got to be mindful of who was really quiet in there.
At least the traitors.
-The quiet mother [bleep] in the room.
The quiet people. -Yeah, I agree.
-I’m quiet.
-The quiet people that are all so quiet.
Like, the ones that do this.
-Oh, Lord. Who’s doing that, child?
-Who’s doing that? -Shit.
-[ Sighs ] How are you feeling? -I’m not happy.
-No, I ain't, either. -I was close to Peppermint.
-Ohh.
But she was a beautiful person, though.
That shit hit me so hard
because when you have so many people go against you like that,
and you just know, you’re just like,
"I’m trying to tell y’all."
Damn, this shit make me want to cry because I, like,
I relate to that.
I know what it feels like with people that go against you, bro.
And that’s not a good feeling, man.
[ Sighs ]
Oh, man, to know that I’m a part of it now, man. Ohh.
**
-Y'all, that was not good. -How are you feeling?
-I feel like an absolute piece of trash on the floor.
-I’m gonna say that just to get out of the door.
But you did that.
-No. This morning at breakfast had nothing to do
with my situation, and her saying she was a traitor
in there had nothing to do with this.
-The first round table sucked.
Picking up on Peppermint made no sense.
It was a made-up nothing that never happened
that should not have even been spoken about.
-I was like 95% sure it was her.
The problem was, is that I told two people
and then two people told two people,
and word got around, and then other people were like,
"Oh, yeah, this was suspicious." -I’m just saying
that it was just a little, you know, whatever, strange for me.
-I’m gonna -- Yeah.
**
-I do feel like there were people that --
and I don’t want to single you out
because you weren’t the only person,
but they didn’t say a word at the round table.
-People think I’m not talking,
but that’s just who I am, you know?
And it’s sometimes hard to get a word in.
-All I can do is offer my opinion.
-Yeah. -I do feel like
anybody that didn’t speak up
was very happy with the way that the conversation was going,
because they knew it wasn’t directed towards the traitor.
I don’t think any of us have enough information
to truly know who a traitor is. -Yeah.
-But time will tell.
**
[ Clock chimes ]
-Bedtime. -All right. Good night, guys.
-Good night. -I hope to see you guys
at breakfast tomorrow. Oh, I don’t want to die.
-We missed the mark tonight. We missed it hard.
And there’s a bunch of traitors up in here.
I am so excited to find out who my fellow traitors are.
It’s got to be Janelle or it’s got to be Sandra.
Who else would recruit me?
But hopefully you’re faithful.
Like, you know, we have nothing to go off of.
-Well, I pray I’m here tomorrow.
-Are you scared? -No, I’m good.
-Please be scared.
-Bed's up here, John. -[ Speaks indistinctly ]
-John, bed -- bed's up here.
**
-I think this new recruit is going to be very excited
to have the power of being a traitor.
This could be the beginning of a beautiful killer relationship.
**
-* Got to taste these thoughts you crave *
[ Vocalizing ]
-I want to see the reaction when both our hoods come off.
That’s gonna tell me are we doing a good job
or are we doing a phenomenal job?
-* Come around to your bad side, babe *
-I am dying to know who my fellow traitors are.
The traitors have the keys to the castle.
And, baby, I was born to be a queen.
-* The taste you start to crave *
-[ Howling ]
-Time to kill.
-* If you love to hate, you love to hate *
* Come around to your bad side, babe *
[ Vocalizing ]
* Turn your back 'cause it's all a mistake *
* You love to hate, you love to hate *
* Welcome to your bad side *
* Whoa *
[ Laughter ]
-Oh, my God!
[ Laughter ]
