RODGER: Previously on The Traitors,
this mansion of murder hosted 24 guests.
What a joint!
..playing the ultimate game of whodunnit.
MARIELLE: It's a game of lies.
..with a very impressive prize pool.
NIGEL: Whether you're a Traitor or Faithful,
it is a common goal - we've come here for big bucks.
Four were chosen as Traitors.
(CHUCKLES)
Our cold-blooded killers.
And the rest are the Faithful -
the ones who have to figure out who the Traitors are
before getting murdered or banished themselves.
I am a Faithful.
Faithful. Faithful.
(ALL GROAN)
Oh, my God!
But after the success of banishing two Traitors...
I'm a Traitor. Because I am a Traitor.
(ALL CHEER)
..and a brilliant blindside spearheaded by Kate and Teresa...
Are you ready to get on board, Kate? I'm so excited!
Let's get rid of Marielle!
I was a Traitor from day one. (CONTESTANTS CHEER)
..the tally now stands at two Traitors
and five Faithful left.
So the pressure is well and truly on the Faithful
because if there are any Traitors left at the end,
the Traitors will win it all.
Are you ready?
And with three Faithful on Death Row...
"One of them will be the next person to be murdered."
..it's quite literally do...
..or die.
(INTRIGUING MUSIC)
Is it just me?
I don't think I've ever been...
..the first one here!
Oh, my goodness! I get to actually enjoy breakfast.
Last night was awesome.
We got a Traitor!
We got her! (LAUGHS) We got her.
So good! (LAUGHS)
I can't get over how many names are up on that mantelpiece.
I didn't come here and play this game
NOT to get to the end.
I wanna get all the Traitors still in the game.
The way I play it is observing,
looking for signs of deception.
I wonder if...
..whether there's still six of us this morning
or whether there's seven of us this morning.
But also, it's about people that you've created relationships with.
That's the thing that you're working on most, is who can you trust?
You just have to use your best instincts.
You gotta think with your head and not your heart.
Ohh! (LAUGHS)
Brother! I'm sitting here on my own!
Ah! I'm so happy to see you!
I'm so happy to see you, man! (LAUGHS)
Nigel, my brother from another mother,
he has been such an ally
and he's a beast in challenges.
He's an awesome guy.
And I believe, at this stage of the game, I can trust him.
Oh, man.
Enjoy! This is the quietest I've ever enjoyed this room, mate.
Ohh!
I didn't wanna vote for Marielle.
You know, I had a promise with Marielle
that I would not vote for her and I fulfilled that promise.
So there is honour amongst thieves.
And Traitors.
What, we're down... After last night...
We're either at seven or we're at six this morning
depending on whether there's a murder.
I have built some incredible relationships in this game
and, um, particularly Craig.
I've been able to impress on the people
that are Faithful in this game that I am one of them.
Pull on this mask, almost.
There's potentially two Traitors left.
Yeah. And five...Faithful.
Yeah.
Now, with the numbers the way they are,
I have to be incredibly smart and cunning
to navigate the next few days
so that I can make it through to the end game.
So we still stick with Lewis at the banishment.
Yeah.
He looked so nervous.
Yeah.
He didn't really defend himself that well.
Nuh.
Ah! Hey!
We're still here!
What's happening?!
(ALL CHUCKLE)
I don't know what's going on!
Does that mean Teresa?
Huh? Does that mean Teresa?
Well, yeah. I assumed it would be one of us three.
It's a great day!
Ohh!
There's one less Traitor in the house
and I'm feeling trusted.
(SIGHS)
So no matter what happens today,
we stay on the plan - so Lewis next.
Yeah, true.
The end feels like it's in reaching distance now.
Ta.
Oh, I feel like fightin'!
I need a hash brown! (LAUGHS)
Here you go. Help! (LAUGHS)
It either needs to be myself, Craig or Teresa
that have been murdered,
because we're the ones responsible for the blindside.
So it has to be Teresa.
(SIGHS) Hi!
Alex!
Hi!
(LAUGHS)
We're alive.
Yeah. Ohh! Hey.
How you feeling? (SIGHS)
I feel so...stupid
that I didn't see Marielle.
Yeah, but you were so close to her. And I said that to you.
Down at the fire, I was, like, "What do you think of Marielle?"
And you literally were, like, "I'm too close."
I know.
My choice in voting out Marielle was the right decision to make.
I realised who everyone in that room was gonna vote for.
It has made people trust me more
just because they know how hard of a decision
that probably was going to be for me
because I'm so close with her.
That is showing that I can play head over heart
and showing that
to my Faithfuls, I'm willing to go the distance.
I just feel, like, so dumb,
'cause I'm, like, every night after banishment,
we'd say our goodbyes, I'd tell her who I was suspicious about.
And I'm, like, "Oh, is it feeding right back to the source?"
Like, quite literally! Honestly.
It's the pointy end of the game
whether you are a Traitor or not.
I did what I had to to survive.
The one thing that's going through my mind
is "Just get to the end, Alex. Just get to the end."
Now I'm just, like, "Who else have I trusted
"that I should be looking at?"
You know? Like, it's just...
Anyway. (SIGHS) It's just... Yeah.
Alex is a strong player in the game.
Do I trust her?
Um, not 100%.
Yeah! (LAUGHS)
She was obviously more comfortable
in stabbing one of her fellow Traitors in the back,
but it's not the right time to take her out of the game.
I don't think anyone's going to focus on Alex.
I've gotta do it at the right point.
Hi! Paul!
Come on in, brother. Nice jumper!
Everyone's in blue today. You're number five, mate.
PAUL: Not only did we catch another Traitor last night,
I survived! (LAUGHS)
I didn't get murdered! How good was that?
So, who have we got? Oh, shit. Lewis and...
Teresa and Lewis.
KATE: I mean, logic... Yeah.
Logic says it's Teresa, because it had to be one of the three of us.
Yeah.
Hang on, hang on, hang on. Hang on.
Morena, everyone! Hey!
Are we happy to see me? OTHERS: Yes!
Who are we not seeing? OTHERS: Lewis.
PAUL: Have a think. That throws us off.
Happy to arrive to breakfast.
I'm excited to be here. Happy to be alive.
Final six. Yeah.
Final six! Can you believe it?
So excited.
But Lewis isn't there, so I'm, like, "What?"
I cannot believe that Lewis is gone because that, um...
I came down here with big ideas.
I really thought Lewis was a Traitor.
Yeah, he looked like a... bunny in the headlights last night.
(KNOCKS ON DOOR)
Oh, you're kidding. Ah!
My God. Lewis!
Ohh!
What?
Lewis walks in from the dead.
And so I'm, like, "OK, cool, because my suspicions still lie with you."
Sorry. Hi. Hello.
(CONTESTANTS LAUGH)
KATE: I can't take this anymore!
It's too much! Make it stop!
(ALEX LAUGHS)
(LAUGHS)
TERESA: But now nobody knows what's going on.
Watch 'em all just go each other! Yeah!
I'm very...intrigued now.
Back to square one. Yeah.
So final seven. (LAUGHS)
Like, I can't see the ground, otherwise I'll be...
Hi! Here we go.
Well, well, well. Top of the morning to you all.
Now, I will take the risk and assume you can all count to seven...
(LAUGHS)
..and by now have realised
that no-one is missing.
Ah, the sweet deer-in-the-headlight look on your faces.
Now, I know what you're thinking.
Recruitment.
Well, you'd be wrong.
Last night, there was neither murder or recruitment,
which is lucky, because I will need
all of your help for a little... job that I have booked.
Oh, no.
Because, alas, my regular crew
are currently on holiday for approximately...
..five to ten years.
But perhaps less with good behaviour.
So forget 'Ocean's Eleven'. Today's challenge is more Rodger's Seven.
We, uh, hit an art gallery at midday
and, if successful, ka-ching!
The silver is yours.
We'll see you there. Alright!
Oh, sorry. Sorry. Art gallery!
How silly of me.
There was some mail that arrived this morning.
That's right.
NIGEL: Last night, Rodger's lovely little note explained
that we are not able to murder.
Ah. One for Paul.
Ooh! I'll have one, please.
Here you are, sir.
..but instead, we have to put three people on Death Row.
Um, Craig also.
One for you.
And yes, finally...
(GIGGLES) ..Kate.
Now, it is always lovely to receive correspondence.
Others may feel like they've been left out a little bit,
so perhaps you could share your news with the group.
See you later.
Where is my letter? Like, I want a letter!
It looks beautiful.
There's a big wax seal on the back. It's written...quite lovely.
Go, Kate, go, Kate, go, Kate!
ALEX: Just go.
Oh, OK, I just saw the first line!
"Dear Kate, you have been placed on Death Row..."
Oh, shit! (LAUGHS) I don't even wanna read the rest.
"..which means you have a one-in-three chance
"of being murdered tonight."
That's it? Oh, my God, I do NOT want a letter.
I do not want a letter!
It is a Death Row letter.
And you've all got the same one? Exactly the same.
Murder tonight?
So there's only three people up for murder tonight -
Paul, Kate and me.
(LAUGHS)
On one hand, I'm glad that I'm still alive,
but, like, is this much better?
Paul, Kate and myself
are on Death Row
and we are the only ones that can be murdered tonight.
So it's like every other player in the game
just got a Shield from murder.
So I'm gutted.
I'm a business coach.
My main skill set around this is the ability to be able to read people.
So that's what I end up doing in most instances.
Let's check our facts, let's check our figures,
make sure we're doing the right thing here.
We're extremely readable.
We have no idea how much we give away.
It's just whether or not you're tuned in
and you're observing the right thing.
We often notice something about someone
that's not quite right.
But we'll tend to ignore that
based on our own biases.
Didn't see that comin'.
We made it this far. Let's just keep making it.
The challenge I have now
is I've gotta separate head and heart.
It's very hard
not to start to form ties
with people in the game.
These are real people that we've formed real connections with.
But I will use every bit of wit, every bit of nous.
I mean, I'm gonna do everything in my power
to fight tooth and nail to be there at the end.
Thank you for driving. She's a magnificent driver.
You are such a good driver.
In the car ride on the way to the challenge
is the best opportunity
to work out what's your next move.
I'm Faithful all the way!
I'm getting tattooed up. 'Faithful'.
I know! Oh, not on your knuckles? 'Faith', 'ful'.
A lot of decisions get made with these three people.
I was worried about the last drive with Teresa
with how much I had to spill to her.
I know, we had so much excitement. "How am I gonna say all..."
That was a 360, that one. Whew!
As a newly recruited Traitor,
you've already built up trust
and I have voted every single Traitor out in this game.
What more could you ask for in a Faithful?
Speaking of spilling - Kate, thoughts?
I would love to hear other people's thoughts.
I'm 100% sure Lewis is a Traitor. Yeah, me too.
Yeah, no, I think we still go Lewis, yeah.
So, who do you think is the new recruit?
I was thinking about Nigel,
'cause I was, like, how could he not have voted?
Well, that's the thing. I was so confused.
Craig, did Nigel come up to you?
Did anyone say to him about the Marielle?
Yeah. And he still chose Lewis?
Just theoretically, if you were to go forward, like...
..obviously, like, besides myself,
would you have any suspicions anywhere else, Nigel, like...
What about, um...
Maybe Teresa?
Lewis is the next on the chopping block.
I know he's a Faithful.
Bad luck.
(LAUGHS)
You've just gotta be ready for anything, like...
So the order should be...
..Lewis. TERESA: Lewis first.
Then...
Nige.
Ooh!
OK.
What is going on here?
Right now, there's $184,000 in the pot.
Each one's got different values.
Two silver. Three. Three, yeah.
We need to get that pot up.
We have to get every single silver bar
that's up for grabs.
Welcome, friends.
Now, I will admit over the years I've helped myself
to a masterpiece or two when a gallery hasn't had the foresight
to secure it properly.
But then again, who the hell hasn't?
(CONTESTANTS CHUCKLE)
Though ever since Interpol managed to get a copy of my prints,
I've had to be a bit more hands off, if you know what I mean.
That's where you come in.
What you see before you are precious works of art.
All I need you to do for me today
is remove them from their plinths.
For each masterpiece you collect,
you'll win its value in silver.
You have 15 minutes to nab $24,000 in art.
Easy.
Right?
Unfortunately...
Sick!
They move as well!
Aaargh! Oh, my God!
Yes, they are surrounded by an intricate net of laser beams.
What the hell?! (LAUGHS)
Hey!
I'm never gonna fit anywhere between those lasers.
Like, this is bullshit!
Now, one by one, you'll attempt to retrieve the artwork...
..without touching one of the lasers,
which will trigger the security system.
If a beam is broken, you'll hear an alarm.
You'll need to replace that artwork before the alarm can be deactivated.
Oh, God!
So time to pick an order
and let the heisting begin.
The alarm system is now armed.
You have 15 minutes to retrieve $24,000 in art.
And your time starts...
..now.
Go, Nige!
Ooh! Hectic.
Yep, you got it. Yes, Nigel!
(CONTESTANTS SHOUT ENCOURAGEMENT)
Mate!
Yes! Keep g...
Eeee! Well done!
Good job!
This looks so easy. Piece of cake.
Go, Lewis.
(ALARM SOUNDS) Go back! Go back! Come back.
No.
I'm feeling like I can channel Catherine Zeta-Jones right now
in 'Entrapment' when she looks really sexy
going underneath the laser beams.
Oh! Yes! Got it.
Yes! Well done!
You're alright. Get it back, get it back.
The thing is Catherine Zeta-Jones was in, like, a black catsuit
and I'm in a red tracksuit.
(ALARM SOUNDS) (CONTESTANTS SHRIEK)
(SIGHS) It's really hard.
Go, Mummy T.
Oh, you wanna know about my technique?
(ALARM SOUNDS) Oh, that's a lie!
Yeah, it didn't work. My method is just bollocks.
Lewis does really well.
Lewis going for the largest piece of art.
But he always, when he turns around, always gets sort of slipped by it.
(ALARM SOUNDS) (CONTESTANTS GROAN)
Craig's bollocks.
(ALARM SOUNDS)
Paul's bollocks. Watch your back!
(ALARM SOUNDS)
Alex did OK.
But then she's bollocks.
(ALARM SOUNDS)
And Kate did OK but then, like, nah, she's bollocks as well.
(ALARM SOUNDS)
It's alright, babe. It's alright.
Go straight up the back, bro.
(CONTESTANTS GRUNT AND SQUEAL)
You're like a spider!
This challenge is, like, Nigel-specific.
(WOMAN GASPS)
Nice! Yes, Nigel!
Nigel has retrieved two pieces of art for two pieces of silver.
Yes, Nigel!
He's literally the only person
that's able to get any artwork right now.
(ALARM BLARES) Good try.
(ALARM BLARES) (CONTESTANTS GROAN)
That's 10 minutes. 10 minutes. Five to go.
Oh, Nigel!
Go, Nigey!
Nigel was super good at it.
Look at you, sneaky sneaker! Here it comes, here it comes!
Ooh, watch it!
Go! (CONTESTANTS CHEER)
Oh, you legend! You're such a legend!
Nigel's a master at it!
Nigel making a run for the biggest piece of artwork...
..worth three silver bars.
It's going down now.
Wait. Yeah, yeah, yeah, great. Oh!
Can you reach it?
Nice! Keep it low, keep it low.
Yeah, beauty.
PAUL: Never discount Nigel.
All of a sudden, he comes to life as though he's
'Mission: Impossible' Tom Cruise!
(SHOUTS) Nigel!
(HUMS 'MISSION: IMPOSSIBLE' THEME)
He's like a ninja.
TERESA: Nigel, you are incredible.
Watch that little one! They're both... Wait.
It's going up, coming down?
Just wait, just wait.
It's about to go down. Going down...now.
Straight over the big one. Big step.
(CONTESTANTS CHEER)
Oh, my God, Nigel!
Nigel! (LAUGHS)
I'm not 100% sure where Nigel got this skill set from.
Like, does he work for ASIO?
Dude, just hit the lasers and get Nigel back out.
One minute remaining.
One minute. We need Nigel out there!
(ALARM SOUNDS) TERESA: Yep, get out, get out!
Bloody Paul, get out!
Can Nigel manage to get one last piece before time is up?
Go, Nigey.
Slow and steady, babe.
TERESA: Ooh!
Hey, hey, hey, you take the rest of this time.
Take your time.
ALEX: It's yours, this time.
Slowly does it. Oh!
Ooh, they're closing in, they're closing!
Nigel now making a final run.
30 seconds remaining.
You got it, Nige.
Oh!
That's it. Come on, lad. Come on, lad.
Can Nigel get his fifth piece of art back?
OK, just slow down.
Just slow down.
NIGEL: What's this one doing?
It's sitting there. It's not moving, I don't think.
10, 9...
Good job!
Slowly, slowly, slowly, slow. You've got bugger-all time.
..six, five,
four, three,
two, one.
(CONTESTANTS CHEER)
And just in the nick of time, he does, and that is time.
Nigel! Man, good job!
Well done!
CRAIG: Mate! NIGEL: The challenge beast...
..comes to the rescue of the team.
I smashed it.
And the others were rubbish. Rubbish!
Well, in today's challenge, you truly showed yourselves to be a team
of one.
(ALL LAUGH)
So, uh, 'team',
you managed to collect
five pieces of art
for a total of eight silver bars
or $16,000 into the pot.
(ALL CHEER)
Team effort!
Well done!
Nigel, obviously not the first art gallery you've robbed.
No. (LAUGHS)
Perhaps you can see me afterwards for a more permanent position.
Absolutely, Rodger! Very good.
As for the rest of you, I will see you a little bit later on.
KATE: Thanks, Rodger!
Come on, guys. Well done, Nige.
So good, everyone - namely, Nigel.
(LAUGHS)
Well, it was a team effort!
It's always a team effort. No, that one wasn't.
(LEWIS LAUGHS)
TERESA: Oh, my gosh!
PAUL: Nigel, the hero!
Like I've always said, challenges are a team thing.
(LAUGHS)
The really refreshing part of this game is the Silver Challenges,
'cause we do come together as a team.
And then straight after the challenge, it's, like, right,
they start hunting Traitors again
and we start trying to deceive Faithful again.
Now's the Shield Challenge, so you three really need to get on this.
Is there anyone that we DON'T want to win the Shield Challenge?
Lewis. I think Lewis is a Traitor.
Everybody is extremely suspicious
that Lewis is a Traitor.
He's the plan. That's what I want.
He looked terrified in banishment.
Yeah, 'cause... Last night.
Did he? Oh! Yeah?
Well, like, when I voted for him,
he just went white.
But, um, you can go from, you know, hero to zero in this game
with the blink of an eye.
Like, it's about... It's a numbers game now.
Yes. It's a numbers game.
Seven of us aren't gonna win that money.
It's moving fast now, mate.
But this is what scares me about the Shield -
like, if we're all...
Like, if we're all thinking it's Lewis...
And if he gets it... ..and he gets the Shield, then...
..what's your...
Plan B? Well, yeah.
Who are we thinking that is?
(LAUGHS) We've got no idea at the moment!
If Lewis wins the Shield, I'm not sure where Alex is gonna put a vote.
She's obviously more comfortable in
stabbing one of her fellow Traitors in the back than I was.
So today, I need to win the Shield. That's what I need to do.
This is where self-preservation starts to kick in too, yes?
Yeah. Yeah. That's it.
Like, tonight, another Traitor has to go.
I totally agree. Like, that's 100%.
Yeah.
I'm so close to the end.
Sooner or later, Nigel's going to come for me.
And if there's only one Traitor there at the end of the game,
that Traitor gets all of the silver.
I gotta be the one at the end.
Um, but Shield today.
Yeah.
'Cause we're at that point of the game everyone wants a Shield, right?
This Shield is everything at the moment.
Nigel's a strong contender in the challenges
and he had the Shield before.
I think at this point pretty much any action
is gonna raise some sort of suspicion.
Oh, totally. Sure.
Like, you know, if there's a water challenge
and he ends up in it, it's, like...
If Nigel's name has never been thrown out at banishment
and there's no way he can get murdered
and he goes for that Shield...
It's a bit weird.
I know how I'm gonna plant the seed.
Like, obviously that first Shield Challenge,
you got in the water, Lewis.
Yeah. Who else got in the water?
Claire, Marielle, Angus.
Nigel did as well. Right.
"Don't you think it's weird?
"Angus got in the water. Marielle got in the water.
"Claire got in the water.
"Nigel got in the water too.
"Hmm. Interesting."
Hmm.
"He must be a Traitor."
'Cause he was - when he got the first Shield, he was, like...
All of the Traitors ran into the river!
Yeah!
All of the Traitors ran in! Yep!
He was stressing how much he was afraid of being murdered.
But he was stressing almost too far.
And also, why would you be afraid of being murdered?
You are dead quiet in all of the banishments.
Right? Right? Why would you be murdered?
He's a strong contender in the challenges.
There was no reason.
There were so many other people at that point...
Mmm. Yeah.
..that were obviously going to be murdered before him.
Right? Yeah! Definitely.
They all seem to somehow agree with me.
Because it's true.
Nigel did jump in that water
and he got that Shield.
And no-one in this game was gunning for him at that point in time.
I'm so... I'm so sure on Nigel right now. It makes so much sense.
It just does.
Right? Yeah.
It just feels like... tonight's the night.
It's like we don't have a lot on him.
No, but maybe that's the point! That's the point.
Maybe the fact that his name hasn't been written down once
because he's just laid under the radar
and they've been steering it away.
These are the car rides I like! (LAUGHS)
Great car ride!
I dangled the carrot and they all seemed to come to a feeding frenzy,
so it's just about keeping the chats that we have before banishment
on the same straight, hard track...
(LAUGHS) ..as they were in that car.
Ohh. Get another Traitor tonight.
Let's do it! I wanna go out on a high, guys.
Double whammy! That would be so fun.
Leading from behind.
Um, that's how you be a Traitor.
It's my last night and I'm taking Nigel down with me.
See ya later, Traitor!
KATE: Another walk in the woods.
ALEX: Love a walk in the woods.
Uh, what's that?
That's a metal detector.
Oh, my God! Are we searching for it?
Digging for gold. Hectic!
There it is.
Oh, yeah, Shield! Excellent.
Welcome.
Well, I'm not gonna mince words.
Today's Shield Challenge has more on the line
than the previous two combined.
Tonight's banishment and murder will wipe out
almost a third of the field.
And protection from that is buried in the forest behind you.
Now, armed with a metal detector and a shovel,
you'll each be allocated a dig site
where six bags containing puzzle pieces are buried.
The pieces form a shield
which you'll assemble on your tables
over here.
LEWIS: Sick!
I love puzzles.
First person to detect, dig and assemble the puzzle
wins the precious Shield
and is safe from banishment and murder tonight.
Buried treasure if there ever was any.
Now, you all want protection
as it guarantees you a spot in the final five.
But for those of you on Death Row,
Kate, Paul, Craig,
the stakes are even higher,
because, unfortunately, one of you will meet your maker this evening.
Being on Death Row, one of the three of us
is going to be murdered tonight.
I know that I'm the biggest threat of the three by far.
So I really need this Shield.
My entire game is on the line right now.
So whose prospects are about to look a whole lot better?
We'll soon find out.
Take your positions.
Yes!
TERESA: If Lewis gets that Shield, that's gonna throw us,
because everybody thinks Lewis is a Traitor,
is a stinkin', dirty Traitor.
So that's six of us that are pretty dead keen
to write down Lewis's name tonight.
OK, first to complete the puzzle wins protection.
Prospectors, grab your metal detectors.
The race for the Shield starts...
..now!
(DETECTOR WHINES)
ALEX: I have never used a metal detector, so I'm so excited.
I always see the weirdos at the beach with them,
and now I'm the weirdo in the forest with one.
It has this low hum that's, like...
(HUMS)
And then when you find a puzzle piece, it goes...
(DETECTOR WAILS)
OK!
Goddamn! They have buried these, man!
It's gotta be here somewhere.
(DETECTOR WAILS)
Yeah! No way!
Feeling quietly confident.
I smashed the Silver Challenge.
(DETECTOR WAILS)
..and I'd love to win the Shield.
There are some people that I don't want to win the Shield,
that being Lewis and Kate.
Lewis cannot win this.
Like, he's the next on the chopping block.
He is the next victim for the Faithful to take out.
Ohh! That's a worm.
That's a worm.
How many bags? Six.
Come on, please. Please.
Fine, fine, fine.
(DETECTOR WAILS)
LEWIS: I'm not on Death Row,
but my name's been thrown out there more and more.
So I need that protection.
I need that Shield.
Yes!
One, two...
Hey... Wha... Hang on!
What the hell, Lewis?!
Puzzle time! (LAUGHS)
How do they find them so quick?
There you go. Look at that.
I find all of my six pieces actually fairly quickly.
But I can see somebody's already running towards the tables.
It's Lewis.
LEWIS: Nice one, Nige.
It's...
..so imperative that Lewis doesn't get that Shield.
Need to make damn sure that that doesn't happen.
(SIGHS) Man!
Actually getting the puzzle pieces out of those hessian bags
was without a doubt the hardest part of this whole challenge,
because it's, like,
there is so much on the line and there's this little snag!
So much harder!
This hessian, man!
And I'm just looking at Nigel. He's just, like, on my heels.
You've tasted Shield once before. Give it to me!
(GRUNTS)
We're neck and neck.
Where does that go?
There's pieces everywhere and...
..I start to panic.
Too many pieces here!
With jigsaws, first things first -
just build the border and then come in from there.
Like, you know... Ah!
And I think Nigel forgot that.
Mate, what a goose!
(LAUGHS)
Love me jigsaws, Rodge!
Nuh, it doesn't go like that.
Yes!
No! Where's it go?
I thought I got it all, and then I went to put the 'T' on top
and the little plug holes didn't line up.
No!
(EXHALES STRONGLY)
And it was just, like, "Where's it go?"
What in the hell do I do? (LAUGHS) Like...
Where's the angle? Where's the angle?
Come on, you... Ah!
Where's that other...
Yes!
Lewis is the winner...
Yes! ..of the Shield Challenge.
Yes!
Puzzles!
What a load of shit.
If anybody needed it more, it was probably Lewis.
Yes!
Because we were gonna get rid of him tonight.
So now we have to find a plan B.
Oh! Nigel, where were you?
(SIGHS) Panicked.
(EXHALES)
Well, it was an extremely tight race, but in the end,
Lewis's jigsaw skills shone through
and, might I add, a very fine celebration dance to boot.
(LAUGHS)
Lewis, if you'd like to come and get your Shield.
(SIGHS)
..which protects you from tonight's banishment and murder.
Congratulations.
(KISSES SHIELD)
Unfortunately for the rest of you,
someone will be banished, and I will see you later this evening.
Cheers.
NIGEL: Worst-case scenario would be Lewis winning the Shield.
This was not the way that the game was meant to go.
To have him out of the picture
to be banished tonight
has really thrown everything up in the air.
(SUCKS TEETH)
Good question. What is the plan?
NIGEL: I'm racking my brain, mate.
Yeah, I don't know what to do.
Challenge didn't go the way I thought it was gonna go.
If Lewis hadn't won the Shield,
all the votes would be going on Lewis.
Oh, I just didn't want Lewis to win today!
I know. I know.
I'm shitty at myself that I didn't
calm myself more with that jigsaw puzzle.
Like, I started to panic.
Oh, mate... 'Cause I was more focused on my...
Nobody could look at what you've done in terms of challenges
and expected you to do any better, mate.
You're just a beast at the challenges.
There's moments in this game where you get frustration.
Those tiny little things in a game that completely
can flip things on its head.
Can be incredibly dangerous.
We believe Lewis is the Traitor.
And that's been taken off the table.
Yeah, I know. Yeah.
So you've gotta come up with a plan B.
Yes.
Craig looks quite nervous,
which is a bit of a red flag for me.
Somebody's gonna be banished tonight and it is not gonna be me.
It's hard - there's people that I...
..I don't feel that I can vote.
You know, you being on top of that list
is someone whose name I just wouldn't be able to put down.
Like, we've had this connection from the start.
I know. I know.
I love Kate and I think she's Faithful.
Do you suspect Alex?
Oh, I don't sus... Like...
Like she's never said anything to me,
like, that has been a lie or deceitful or...
No. No.
It's very strategic, this game. You've gotta be really careful.
If you choose the wrong person, it can backfire.
I just need to make sure that I'm here at the end game.
Look, whatever is gonna happen is gonna happen.
You and I are gonna be mates outside this game no matter what.
PAUL: Craig, I think, is OK.
KATE: Yeah. But Nigel...
Yeah, I'm pretty sold on Nigel, to be honest.
Really? Yeah.
Tell me why. Tell me why.
I mean, one of the biggest reasons
is the fact that we've never brought his name up.
ALEX: Quite literally.
Like, the Traitors have obviously done a great job
of distracting us, right?
So the people who we haven't looked at at all...
ALEX: Kate is on a Nigel tirade.
Kate figured it out.
And I just gave her the tools to figure it out.
She is a smart girl.
She knows what she's doing.
Let's just have a think about who jumped in that river, shall we?
In the first Shield Challenge. In the first Shield Challenge.
Angus.
It was Angus... Claire.
Marielle. Marielle.
Nigel.
I'm just gonna listen
and, you know, give them a little push here and there.
But you know what? The four that went the hardest...
Yeah. Yeah. Yeah, true.
It's enough. All the Traitors swam into that river.
All of them. Yeah. All of them.
All four of them!
(TERESA SIGHS) Hey.
What are youse thinking?
Nige. Soz, mate.
No, no. No, no, no, no, no.
Like, that's what I wanted to find out as well, OK?
I mean, we already talked about it in the car.
Yeah. We did.
It was basically Lewis or Nigel. There's no Lewis now.
We're gonna vote for Nigel tonight.
I have a better chance at surviving if there is only one of us.
It's real hard and you feel like it's the wrong decision
but you know what?
If we're right, we're right.
I'm here for Traitors, mate.
And that's why I need to think like you with Marielle.
And I know exactly what needs to be done.
Let's just get through tonight. Yeah.
They're gonna get a Traitor. They're gonna get a Traitor.
I am...
..so nervous about this one,
because it's not plan A.
I hate going to plan B.
Plan A was Lewis all along. Lewis. Go for Lewis.
You know? Um, Lewis and Paul.
I did have some suspicions about Nigel
but I feel more suspicious of Paul.
Can we all write 'Lewis'? (LAUGHS)
(ALEX LAUGHS) Oh, yeah!
Just do it anyway.
I adore Nigel.
He is, like... He is so full of life.
He is the challenge king.
He's the one that's got most of the silver
since we've been in this house.
So... KATE: Anyone seen Paul?
ALEX: Huh? Outside. NIGEL: Outside.
Paul. TERESA: Outside with Craig.
Could I speak to you in the Blue Room, please?
Here we go. Blindside coming on.
I think it's you or me. Yep.
Bro. Yep.
(LAUGHS)
Got a sneaky suspicion that I might be on the chopping block tonight.
The fire is good, isn't it?
It does make it a little bit easier out there. Sorry, guys.
Sorry, sorry, sorry!
I can see that I'm in massive danger.
What's going on, Paul? One on one.
Paul, what's going on?
Like, you feel like the kid at school that nobody wants to talk to.
But I'm not gonna sit there and take it on the chin, that's for sure.
I'm gonna save myself.
LEWIS: Yeah? OK.
(CRAIG CHUCKLES SADLY)
LEWIS: Yeah, that's it...
KATE: So much harder in the beginning, because there's...
What's going on?
Oh, we thought we were done.
Teresa and I have got a funny feeling
that we're on the block.
(KATE GIGGLES)
I've got myself out of stickier situations than this,
you know, with my background of hostage cases
that involved terrorist organisations.
You got time for a quick chat?
Yep, mate.
As a hostage, I learned to negotiate, I learned to persuade.
I am going to persuade people to vote Teresa.
How are we? Can I stump up?
Yeah. What are you thinking?
Man, I'm still on, like, either Kate or Teresa.
Can you trust Kate 100%?
What did Kate have to say, mate?
Come on, Paul.
Come on.
Mmm, she was asking me am I going...
'Cause I've always gone Teresa, haven't I?
Yeah.
I mean, and I've stuck to my guns on that.
And do I go for Teresa again tonight?
The main part of this game is about building relationships
and building trust.
And I have built some incredible relationships in this game.
My plan tonight is to
cash in my chips on those relationships.
The ace in my back pocket is Craig.
CRAIG: Lewis is saying Teresa.
But at this point of the game,
names are gonna come up.
Well, I think it's interesting that Kate's working with Lewis
and she's running around.
It's, like, "Well, hang on."
Alright. It's with the gods.
I just hope I'm still here after banishment.
But we'll see.
The key to being a good Traitor is keeping calm.
When emotion becomes involved, people make mistakes.
I have the ability to be incredibly calm and concise
and explain why I'm not a Traitor
and why I've been a Faithful.
In this game, things can change, you know,
with the blink of an eye.
I can absolutely, 100% do this.
(EXHALES STRONGLY)
CRAIG: This has been the hardest day so far.
But this banishment is crucial.
So I've gotta separate head and heart.
It's a tough part of the game now.
Good evening.
That is what 100 bars of sterling silver,
or $200,000, looks like.
Quite the milestone.
That money will definitely change your life.
Speaking of lives, Lewis, you have an extra one up your sleeve
as that shiny Shield protects you from banishment this evening.
Perhaps those least enthused by your good fortune
were our Death Rowers,
Craig, Paul and Kate.
As the Shield
could have protected them from certain doom tonight.
But before murder must come banishment.
Now, I'm sure there are many angles, scenarios and outcomes
racing through each of your heads.
But...
..whether you be Faithful or a Traitor...
..one thing in this game is for certain.
You are only as strong as your friendships.
But perhaps you need to ask yourselves...
..are those friendships real?
Can you trust them?
Are your strongest allies actually...
..just enemies in disguise?
I look forward to your thoughts.
NIGEL: I'm gonna jump in.
Lewis, firstly... Evening.
..congratulations on the Shield Challenge.
I think had you not won the Shield tonight, this may have been
a much easier decision for us tonight
because there is a lot of suspicion on you.
Um, I think we need to be careful tonight
'cause we have to remember what this game is about,
and that is about hunting Traitors.
If you are going to vote for someone,
you should be voting for someone that you believe is a Traitor.
That's what I am going to do tonight.
Someone that I feel that is a Traitor.
If you vote for me, that's exactly what the Traitors want you to do -
basically shoot yourselves in the foot.
I have played this game to my fullest.
I have been a Faithful from the start.
I have built
stronger relationships with certain people in this room
so that I can trust them in this game.
Because you have to.
You cannot play this game by yourself.
So...
..if you think I am a Traitor,
then I would like you to tell me that now
so that I can actually defend myself.
PAUL: We come into this banishment,
and I very rarely say, "I'm not a Traitor," or "I'm a Faithful,"
because you shouldn't have to say that.
You shouldn't have to say that.
If you're saying it a lot, you think,
"Hold on a minute." It's a warning sign.
I'll...I'll step in.
Um, mate, you are such a frigging killer in this game.
A beast at the challenges.
You are one of the most ethical...
I've just...
It's been an absolute privilege getting to know you in this game.
You as well, mate.
And I've shared with a couple of people that I'm really close to
my suspicion on who may have been converted.
And from a couple of angles.
One - who would a Traitor pick to be a great ally?
And it would be you, man.
Hand on heart, I was not converted as a Traitor.
I can swear to you, hand on heart. Yep. Yep.
Um, I have been absolutely honest.
I have not lied to people, I have not deceived people.
Can I just...
On that theory of recruitment or being an original,
when I look at, like, the first Shield Challenge,
and there was the water.
Angus got in the water.
Claire got in the water.
Marielle got in the water. You got in the water.
You won the Shield. Yep.
What was your motivation there?
I know you're very competitive, but...
My motivation is like today.
Like, as a Faithful, I do not wanna be banished,
and it saves me from murder.
And, you know, I am super competitive.
If that puts me in the basket of being a Traitor,
then that's your opinion,
but I would say, well, those people that don't go for the Shields 100%,
then that, for me, is suspicious.
KATE: OK.
I'm baffled as to how you didn't vote for Marielle
in the last banishment.
So, um, Craig
came down, obviously, in the morning.
He'd been thinking about who it was.
And he said, "I've worked it out.
"I'm very sure that Lewis is an original Traitor
"and that Marielle may have been converted to a Traitor."
So the plan was to basically blindside Lewis.
Teresa, Fi, yourself, Craig and Alex. Yes.
Mm-hm.
Um, can I just be clear?
100%, Marielle was what we discussed
in terms of where we were putting the vote.
I just wanted to add that.
In the car?
No, no. When we had the discussion pre-banishment.
So you did discuss with Nigel
that you were going Marielle and not Lewis?
Yep.
When we sat down together, I said,
"We've gotta go Marielle. We've gotta go Marielle."
That's the truth. It's 100% truth.
He said Marielle, and then I wanted to try and get to Teresa.
I didn't get a chance to talk to Teresa
to make sure that that was happening.
Can I ask you a question, then?
Who do you think the Traitors are?
I'm very sure that...
Who do you think the Traitors are?
I'm very sure that
Teresa may have been converted to a Traitor.
Potentially.
Yeah, well, I suspect everyone in this room.
But it's, like, from me, where I'm sitting,
you're 100% a Traitor in my eyes.
Well, like, there could be...
..Traitors here as well.
Oh, I know.
Yeah, I've been considering that the whole time.
I've been considering everyone - what I'm saying is
there are a bunch of people that you haven't considered ever.
Like Angus, Claire, Marielle.
Well, maybe I should.
You know, Kate, you say,
"Oh, every banishment, I throw two or three names out."
I do.
What you do is then behind the scenes...
Oh, do I? You know that? Like...
Well, I've seen you do it, like,
pre-banishment, like, you run around...
Tonight, today, yeah,
because I wanted people to vote for you, because you're a Traitor.
And that's your opinion. You can have your opinion.
But, like, I can assure you 100% that I am Faithful.
Is there anyone else who would like to offer their thoughts?
Well, I think, then, we can take it to a vote.
Alright, it's time to see now
who you've each voted to banish tonight.
And we are gonna start with Teresa.
Alright.
I don't think you're a Traitor, Nigel.
But, Paul, I think you're a Traitor.
One vote for Paul.
Lewis, you're protected tonight, but you still get a vote.
Nigel. You get my vote.
Nigel, your vote.
Tonight, Teresa, I've voted for you.
One for Teresa, one for Nigel, one for Paul.
Perhaps only a couple of votes could send someone home tonight.
Next up, we'll hear from Craig.
This has been the toughest day of this entire thing so far.
Starting the day on Death Row and finishing it with something
that is making me literally sick to my stomach.
And this is breaking my heart, but...
..I trust the relationship that we've built in here
is gonna withstand this...
..and that we will be friends for life.
I'm so sorry, my brother.
I don't know what else to do.
Alex, your vote, please.
After Marielle was banished,
I obviously had to change my way of thinking.
Um, and that meant looking at the people that I was close to.
And, Nigel, that's why I'm putting your name down.
Three to Nigel, one to Teresa, one to Paul.
Nigel, if you receive one more vote
or someone new receives a vote,
you will be banished.
Paul, how did you vote?
Uh, I'm hoping you are a Traitor.
I'm hoping that I'm not proven wrong.
Nigel.
For me, my vote is for
the person that I trust the least.
Sorry, Nigel, that's you.
So with five votes tonight, Nigel, so it is done.
If you wouldn't mind joining me.
And before you tell us whether you are indeed a Traitor or Faithful,
would you like to say something to the group?
Absolutely. Um...
(EXHALES STRONGLY)
It has been...
..an honour.
Such an honour to sit around this table
with such amazing people.
Um...
..something that, you know, you don't know about me
is I'm...
..one of Australia's longest-held living captives.
I was kidnapped for 460 days in Somalia.
I have written a bestselling memoir.
I'm a public speaker and I've worked for
three of the world's leading crisis response companies.
I focus on kidnap-for-ransom, piracy
and illegal detentions around the globe.
And...
..I am a Traitor.
(CONTESTANTS EXCLAIM)
LEWIS: Yeah!
Oh, my God!
TERESA: Oh, God! (LAUGHS)
He was a Traitor!
Oh, my God!
NIGEL: I just got belted. Belted for six.
I tried to maintain that relationship with Craig
and, you know, make it hard for him to vote for me,
but that was a mistake.
It was like a tidal wave against me tonight going into that banishment.
All kudos to Alex. She's been very smart.
Even though she dug that knife deep in my back!
(LAUGHS)
For the Faithful now, you know, the hunt is back on.
The game has been driven up another notch.
Well, there's a lot of joy in the room,
and I don't wanna change the mood so much but I do want to remind you
that tonight on Death Row, the axe will fall.
Kate, Paul and Craig, I hope I see you all in the morning,
but I have a feeling I won't.
ALEX:
(THUNDER CRACKS)
(CLOCK CHIMES)
(CHOIR VOCALISES)
Sorry, Nigel.
That's a bit awkward.
"Alex,
"you are now the lone Traitor,
"which means you MUST recruit.
"You may choose one Faithful to join you.
"Should they accept, the new blood will become a Traitor immediately.
"Cordially yours, Rodger."
Oooh.
"Alex, you are now the lone Traitor,
"which means you MUST recruit.
"Cordially yours, Rodger.
"P.S. Choose wisely."
Hmm.
Ooh.
You need someone that's manipulative and conniving
and can turn people's votes their way.
I also need someone that can think, like, 10 steps ahead
that'll help me to win this game.
I think I've made my decision.
(LAUGHS)
What is this, the consequences of my own actions?!
"You have been chosen to join..." Oh, shit!
(LAUGHS) This is not what I was hoping for!
(LAUGHS)
Shit.
Oh, man!
"You have been chosen to join the Traitors.
"Do you accept this offer or refuse?
"Love from the Traitors."
(KATE SIGHS)
(KATE SNIGGERS) (ALEX LAUGHS)
Hi!
(EXHALES) It's nice to meet you.
How do you feel? Wow!
Mmm. I feel, um...
..glad I'm not dead.
Thank you. Mmm, I thought you might.
(LAUGHS)
Mate!
Tell me.
I was the recruited one. Yeah.
Oh, man!
OK.
Thank you. It's nice to be here.
Guess what. Guess what.
We get to murder someone tonight! I know!
We have to kill someone on Death Row. Yes.
So it has to be either Paul or Craig.
If we get rid of Paul,
what does that say?
I mean, it suggests that Craig is a Traitor, really.
Because everyone is very sure now that I'm not.
Mm-hm. Will people believe it?
I don't know if people will believe it.
Exactly.
If we murder Craig,
what does that say?
My first thought would be that Teresa was the Traitor.
Yeah.
We send everyone to Teresa and we still have Paul.
Lewis and Paul. Yeah.
And then it's us versus them.
How do you wanna play it?
I think that I know what way we have to go.
OK.
We've made our decision?
Yeah! We've...we've made our decision.
Well done. Welcome.
RODGER: Tomorrow night...
Run!
..they've made it to the final five
and the game reaches dizzying heights
in more ways than one.
LEWIS: It's sickening how much is on the line here.
It's kill or be killed, you know? Banish or be banished.
With the end and the jackpot so close...
TERESA: There's a lot of money on the line.
'Cause at the end of the day, like,
a Traitor's gonna take all that money if they're still in the game.
..there's no honour amongst thieves.
Or Traitors.
At this point, I'm willing to do anything to get to the end.
ALEX: I need to work out who I can manipulate
so that I am the sole Traitor left at the table.
It's a dirty, dirty game.
