This game is so stressful. I cannot trust anyone.
My absolute worst nightmare.
22 complete strangers from all across the UK are about to enter
this beautiful castle in the Scottish Highlands
to play the game of a lifetime and to hopefully win up to Â£120,000.
They'll work together as a team...
Oh, my God!
SCREAMING
..to build up that prize pot by completing epic missions.
We're buried alive.
SCREAMING
But hidden amongst them are the Traitors,
who will secretly murder their fellow players at night,
eliminating them from the game.
It's up to the others to work out who the Traitors are and banish them
before they become their next victim.
Yeah, I knew she was a Faithful all along.
But is that because you're a Traitor?
I'm not a Traitor. I swear on everything!
Will you let me speak?
You're a liar and YOU'RE a liar.
Oh, my God!
We are never going to find them if we keep arguing.
It's exhausting.
This is the ultimate game of deception, skill, and trust.
This is The Traitors.
I'm Amanda. I'm an estate agent from Swansea and a grandma.
Having five children and five grandchildren,
I can spot a liar a mile away.
Let's have a little cwtch.
I'm so nervous right now.
I'm Aaron. I'm 24 years old.
Have you ever been here before? No. Never been to Scotland.
No. Hi!
I'm quite like an open book. Like, I'm quite easy to read.
Like, I'm a salesman's dream.
What do you study? International human rights.
Basically just a posh politics degree.
Very boring.
Oh, number four. Here we go.
Hello!
Sunny in Scotland.
Yeah, it's crazy. Makes a change.
My name is Andrea.
I'm 72 years old.
I can't tell you how much I'm looking forward to this.
At my age, to have this chance in life.
Oh, my God. I just can't believe it.
It's wonderful to be on a steam train again.
I haven't been on one for years and years.
This is already like an Agatha Christie novel.
Hello!
Hi!
I'm Alex. I'm 26.
I'm a presenter, actress, and social media content creator.
Oh! Oh, careful.
I got a first in psychology from UCL,
but no-one here needs to know that.
Hello, mate, you all right? Hey, how's it going?
Got another one. Absolutely.
Oh, another one. Yeah. Can I join you?
He's got pink hair.
Nice to meet you. Tom. Tom. Nice to meet you.
What is it that you do?
I'm a magician. It's a weird one.
Magician?! No way! That's going to be so good!
The art of magic - there is some manipulation, you know,
deception, which, of course I'm going to bring into this game,
but I'm going to be keeping my cards close to my chest.
I'm going to be honest, I don't like magic
because I don't like not knowing how things are done.
Oh, my God! There it is! Oh, my God!
It's the Hogwarts Express. Yeah.
So good.
Thank you.
Oh, it's moving.
Do you believe in the Loch Ness Monster?
Oh! That's a very good question.
It is, isn't it?
I'm a motor mouth. I don't have a filter.
I tell everybody everything.
LAUGHTER
I'm a very Marmite person.
Like, you either love me or you hate me when you meet me.
What's your name? Alex. What's your name?
Matt. Nice to meet you. Nice to meet you.
Alex is very pretty. Let's say that.
You've got really good teeth.
Thanks. You've got nice teeth as well. Thanks.
Hi, guys.
Hey, you all right? Lovely to meet you.
How nice to meet you.
Hey!
This is amazing!
It's so nice, isn't it? Oh, my God.
I keep thinking it's really low cloud, but it's not,
it's the steam off the train.
It's got that murder mystery vibe, though, innit?
You think where we are now...
I already don't know who to trust. No. Yeah.
I'm ready to get cracking.
I've obviously got to mingle with people,
start building my alliances.
Let the games begin.
Everyone's sizing each other up, and that's the scary part. Yeah.
Are you good at sussing people out? I'm just really accepting.
Just don't judge people.
I'm Amos, I'm 30 years old, and I'm a doctor from London.
Amongst my friendship group,
I'm probably the one that people rely on the most.
I'm quite dependable and I give good advice.
Everybody, come on, cheers. Cheers. Let's do this.
From a train to a Jeep.
Look how beautiful that is. Yes, yes.
Beautiful.
We look like the Mafia. I'm loving it. I'm loving it. I feel hard.
Eyes peeled for castles, right?
This is going to be a wild ride, whatever happens.
I just don't want to be out first!
No, you won't. Please!
My name's Wilfred. I'm 28.
I work for one of the biggest UK charities.
I'm amazing at positive persuasion.
I'm good at ethical manipulation.
I think what we need to do when we're in the castle,
we need to break off into other groups and make friends with them
so they don't want to vote us off, but we stick together.
Like a puppet master.
Is that a good plan or not? It's a good plan.
Andrea's Angels.
LAUGHTER
Oh, this looks like the entrance to a castle.
Oh, my God!
CHEERING
Oh, no, that ain't small. That ain't small.
Oh, my God.
VARIOUS GASPS AND EXCLAMATIONS
That is insane.
Oh, I just got really nervous.
Andrea's Angels. Andrea's Angels! Andrea's Angels! Andrea's Angels!
CHEERING
Here we go. Thank you.
I'm so excited!
Oh, it's lovely. It's lovely.
Hello, everyone.
ALL: Hello.
That's my crush! That's my celebrity crush!
So a huge welcome to the Scottish Highlands.
Did you enjoy the train?
ALL: Yes.
Oh, well, we're going to have such a great time together.
If you win this game, you could win up to Â£120,000.
CHEERING AND APPLAUSE
This is a game,
and I just want you to know that the game started
when you got on the train.
I would like to start with a little exercise.
Why not? Sun's shining, we're by The Traitors castle.
What I would like you to really think about
is how far you're going to make it in this game.
You've sussed each other out.
Do you secretly think, "I'm the smartest one here"?
Maybe now you've met, you think,
"Do you know what? I'm in over my head."
Then I would like you to get in a line, please.
Show me how well you're going to do,
with most likely to win there... Oh, my God!
..least likely to win there.
I know I'm going to go down this bottom end.
I'm just walking up there.
I'm going to win. I know I'm going to win.
I'm Imran. I'm 23 years of age from West Sussex.
I know I'm going to win.
I achieved my PhD at the age of 22,
which for the discipline is the youngest in the world.
Certainly here to win this competition.
I can pull this off.
I'm fine. I love it.
I just wanted to blend in.
I was like, I don't really want to stand out here.
I spent so much time with Andrea and the train,
and I knew she was just amazing energy and she could do anything.
I walked her straight to the front.
I'm not going to go at the end. Something's going to happen.
Does anybody want to change their mind?
I think... I think just one up. Just one.
I don't want to be the cocky, confident one at the end,
thinking you've got this, you're going to win hands down.
So I thought, I'm just going to rock up at the end space.
Well, you've gone from the top to bottom.
I'm coming to the end.
Are you all absolutely sure of this?
This is the most likely, and this is the least likely.
So Andrea and Imran, did you suss everyone out?
Did you think, "Do you know what? We'll take them?"
100%, definitely.
I go with whatever Imran says. Yeah.
OK, so let's go to the other end, and we have Kieran and Amos.
Why do you think you're going to come last?
No expectations.
I'm going to take it day by day and we'll see how we go.
Maybe you're also showing your fellow players,
"Don't worry about us, we're just going to go under the radar."
I feel like the people in the middle are probably doing that.
OK. The extremes are where you stick out.
The people that want to fade into the background are in the middle.
Every decision you make, every single one, has a consequence.
So you two, you think you're going to lose?
I am going to take you at your word.
So I'm afraid it's goodbye.
I'd like you to leave the grounds immediately.
No!
No, what? What?
No, that's not... No, no, no, no, no.
It's called The Traitors.
VARIOUS GROANS AND GASPS
Complete and utter devastation.
Honestly, Claudia is a savage!
I know she's an icon and all, but she is not playing.
Darling!
I was furious.
My immediate wish was to
get hold of Claudia and throw her over the balustrade.
Oh...
No cuddling, guys. That's a different show.
Say goodbye.
That was difficult.
I think Amos and Kieran were trying to be chivalrous,
but that's not what the game is about.
It's about being ruthless, and it's backfired.
Backfired massively.
OK.
The rest of you...
..so as you can see, every decision has a consequence.
Nothing is just for fun.
Let me explain what's going to happen soon.
I am going to choose my Traitors.
You, under the cover of darkness,
can murder one of your fellow players every single night,
therefore removing them from the game.
The rest of you will be my Faithfuls.
Now, you have to work out who the Traitors are amongst you
and banish them from the game.
Get them before they get you.
Remember, there is Â£120,000 to win.
There are 20 of you now.
But at the end, if there are any Traitors left in your midst,
they take all the money.
Not going to happen.
Welcome, then, to The Traitors.
Who's ready for a cup of tea and a magical scone?
ALL CLAMOUR FOR SCONES
In you come. Come in. Come in.
EXCITED CHATTER
Nice. Nice. Nice. Wow.
I'm shaking!
The castle is stunning.
Oh, my God!
It was just absolutely beautiful.
I've never seen anything like it before.
Oh, my God! Let's go everywhere! Let's go explore everywhere!
It's really cool. I think I'm going to get lost, though.
I'm following you!
It's going to be...
Whoa! It's a snooker table!
THEY CACKLE EXCITEDLY
Go on, let's be nosy. Let's be nosy.
Oh, this is very, like...
Banging! They've got a bar! Oh, we've got a bar!
Very stately homey. It was giving me, like, Bridgerton vibes.
I would have this sofa in my room.
Could you fit this in your room?
No. That's the problem, you see.
But with 120 grand... I could fit it in my room.
You can fit it in your room.
This is the library.
This is where I am. I love libraries.
This is like Cluedo, guys.
Colonel Mustard in the library with the dagger.
Oh!
Ooh! Look at this!
This looks nice. Feels like having dinner with the Queen.
Oh, my God!
Guys. That's us!
Guys, get in here. Look at this. This is sick.
That's us! Look!
VARIOUS SCREAMS
Oh, amazing.
Oh! You're really good. Come on. Come on.
Kieran and Amos, yeah?
Yeah. Did you bond with them?
Yes, and I feel sad.
But I was on the train, I was literally on the train with Amos,
and then the guy didn't even get to see the castle.
So before we even walk in...
All of a sudden, two people are gone.
I can't explain how much it's messed with everyone's mind.
I'm going to go outside and get some air.
They must have been gutted.
I'm devastated.
I was nearly crying out loud.
I think that fundamentally changed the way that I was thinking.
I thought, "I need to be here and I need to play the game."
You just meet complete strangers and you bond with them really quickly,
and then all of a sudden that's taken away. Just gone. I don't know
if I'm going to be able to cope with that. I don't think I will.
Oh, my God. I love peacocks.
If it splays its tail, does that mean it's threatening us?
No, I think that means it's showing off, no?
I'm going to call him Gary.
Gary the peacock? Oh!
Go on, Gary.
So pretty.
Having Kieran and Amos ripped away so quickly today, I'm like,
"Oh, my gosh," it's going to be so painful having, like,
people who you make friends with just ripped away just like that.
I've just come in here and I want to be myself.
I think I'm a fun, nice person.
I love to get involved.
Someone you got really close with suddenly is not going to be there
any more, or you might even, I might even,
just be sent home for whatever reason.
I'd be gutted.
I kind of want to be everyone's friend and I don't want to
get too close to anyone in particular because not only am I
keeping the acting a secret, the psychology a secret,
another big secret I'm keeping
is that my boyfriend is also in this game.
Tom.
Yeah, we're keeping that to ourselves.
Who do you think's one to watch?
Matt and Aaron?
They're very close. I'm kind of jealous.
I'm just jealous.
Matt's got a massive crush on Alex, but he can't ever see that photo.
Really?! They're going to be running off together.
Oh, God, that's my girlfriend.
It's fine.
Alex is playing the game, though. She's good. Trust me.
We need to keep that top secret,
because if anyone sees us having an alliance,
that would be awful.
So I flirt a bit with Matt,
so it's kind of throwing the bait somewhere else.
It's hard, though, cos I want to, like, make sure he's OK,
tell him I love him, but I'm just kind of distancing myself
and acting like I've just met him for the first-ever time.
The view is insane.
So far, I think, so good.
I haven't properly met you yet. Yeah, I'm Theo. Nice to meet you.
I'm Maddy. Nice to meet you. What do you do for work?
So, I work in a care home. I used to do Scrabble and stuff like that,
but now I'm just on reception, like doing receptionist. Yeah.
But my grandad is coming to the care home in a few weeks. Aw!
My name's Maddy, and I'm 29, and I'm...
I'm an actress, right, but I've...
I've not said anything downstairs. I just haven't...
I haven't lied about it. I just haven't mentioned it.
At least you can be close contact with him now. I know.
That'll be quite good. I'll see him every day. That's quite good.
I do work in a care home.
Just didn't want them to think I was dodgy.
No way!
Oh, that's amazing.
Being an actor, I think it will help me
because I did play Lady Macbeth and we're in a castle.
I don't know. Maybe I should've just said from the beginning
cos honesty's the best policy probably.
It'll be like we're having a constant surprise party.
Like, "Surprise!" Surprise! Surprise, you're going home!
Every two minutes, another two people go home. That's it.
People think I'm quite, like, silly sometimes
or, like, say stupid things,
but, um...I did get a B at AS Maths,
so, hello!
I'm joking!
They might all be friendly now,
but shortly there will be two sides - the Traitors and the Faithful.
CHATTER
But who are the Traitors?
We're about to find out.
Â£120,000.
What would it mean to you?
I see there my hand.
I see my bionic hand that costs an awful lot of money,
and that will help me achieve that.
It'll change my life, but I think it'll change, like, my mum's life
as well cos I try and help her out as much as possible.
We're all in it for the money.
GASPS
Oh, wow! Oh, wow!
Aah! Oh, my God.
Look at that.
I have my house, I have a lot of animals,
so, yeah, it'd be bloody useful.
It's really nice being an author and I chose that path... Yeah.
..but I don't earn very much money.
Whoa! Oh, my gosh. Look at the gold!
Fabulous!
EXHALING
We're all here to play a game.
As much as people are nice, there is a lot of money on the table,
so if a backstabbing needs to happen, it needs to happen.
It'd make a huge difference to me.
But it's what you've got to do to get it, isn't it?
Especially when there's a prize on the line, it's dog eat dog,
and, Claudia, I'm starving.
Welcome to the Round Table,
the beating heart of this show.
Take a look into the eyes of those around you.
Because right now, you are equals.
You're on the same footing.
Maybe you've become friends.
Have a good look at each other.
This is the last time you can take each other at face value.
SHE EXHALES SHARPLY
In just a few minutes, that will no longer be the case.
Which suits your personality the most?
A Traitor. Why?
The mundane scares me. I want to feel that adrenaline.
Could you be a Traitor?
Yes. Could you be a Faithful?
Yes.
That makes my job very difficult.
I think I'd make a good Traitor. Go on.
So I'd be the mum role...
..and then murder them at night. SHE CHUCKLES
I'm a Faithful.
Do you know, like, in your morals? Yeah.
But I don't want to get killed at night. That's the thing.
I watch a lot of crime drama, and I feel like
so at least if you're a Traitor, you're in control of that.
Everybody I spoke to wants to be a Faithful.
HE LAUGHS
Yeah, OK, then!
Everyone I've spoke to - "Oh, I'm here for the experience."
Yeah. All right, then. So am I!
I would love to be a Traitor.
I think a lot of people underestimate me, and people see me
as being, you know, the five-foot, little Asian girl,
and that's their first mistake.
How good are you at lying?
Pretty OK. Yeah?
Yes. I've worked for the British Government. I ought to be quite good!
THEY LAUGH
You used to be in the police.
I did, yeah. So you know when people are lying.
Absolutely.
I'm very good at sniffing out liars.
The moment has come for the Traitors to be selected.
Everyone, please put on your blindfolds.
If I touch you on the shoulder, then you are a Traitor.
HE EXHALES SHARPLY
Bloody hell.
You know, when Claudia's circling,
it's like a shark circling her prey.
But the whole time, I was trying to manifest that touch on my shoulder.
And then she did it.
Oh! To be honest, it was relief.
Not going to lie - it's very intense in there.
Suddenly your friends can become your enemies.
I could feel people around me panting.
Honestly, I could hear them breathing heavily.
I'm smiling and I'm thinking,
"I can't believe it. I can't believe it."
Oh! When she tapped me on the shoulder, I thought,
"Oh, God, I'm so excited.
"It's in arm's reach.
"I've got to hold my hands out like that and grab it."
I have selected my Traitors.
The rest of you will be known as the Faithfuls.
The course of the game has now been set.
You may now remove your blindfolds.
Traitors, you will discover each other's identities later tonight.
Your job -
to murder the Faithful.
Faithfuls, your job is to work out who the Traitors are
and then banish them from the game.
If a Traitor is banished, those remaining might get the chance
to convert a Faithful and recruit them into their clan.
Clear?
Shortly, you'll all go on your first mission
to start building the prize fund.
Definitely wear warm clothes. I'll see you out the front.
Oh.
Tiny thing, forgot to mention -
tonight one of you will be murdered by the Traitors.
Good luck, all.
It was quite intense.
Yes, my adrenaline started going. I was so excited.
I thought, "I'm in the game to play,
"and play it well."
I was blind. Like, I literally was blind in that moment
because I was so busy
trying to not attract any attention
that I really didn't read anybody else.
Immediately what's going on in my head is like,
"OK, what's not suspicious? What can I do?
"Like, I need to think like a Faithful."
Gosh. I'm literally like... Yeah.
It's the amount of laps she did. Yeah, same.
Every time... Every time, I could literally feel the hairs at the back
of my neck being like... I know.
I was just thinking, "WWFD - what would a Faithful do?"
You were exactly like me. I could hear your breathing, like.
LAUGHTER AND CHATTER
I'm looking at the people that are looking a bit sus...
Yeah, like I'm trying to find out who's, like, sheepish.
Well, I can tell who's sheepish.
Yeah?
I mean, imagine... Could I ask everyone a favour?
Can we all take... Can we all drink water so we don't...
THEY TALK OVER EACH OTHER LAUGHTER
C-Can we all drink some water?
Cheers! Cheers!
To the Faithful. To the Faithfuls!
To the Faithfuls.
NERVOUS LAUGHTER
Nicky didn't raise her glass.
All I saw was just, that's an opportunity for me.
I don't know is she? Isn't she?
But it doesn't matter because she's not me.
You know, all I see is that's me lasting another night.
That's me at the Round Table clear,
so I think I had to plant the seed about Nicky.
Cheers to you. Cheers.
Just to know that you're actively manipulating
and lying to these people and they have no idea,
and there is adrenaline. There is a thrill about that, for sure.
I'm just so excited.
I just want to get out there and start doing things now
and getting these murders done.
SHE LAUGHS
GASPS AND EXCLAMATIONS
Lovely!
I was trying really hard to look for anything, something, but...
I know, like there was... Yeah, I couldn't see anything.
The thing is... I think everyone looked the same.
I know, everyone was just cheery!
I was looking around. I'm trying to think, you know,
"Who's on my team now?"
But I wasn't sure what I was even looking for.
I cannot wait to find out who the other Traitors are.
I'm still just as clueless as I was 20 minutes ago, to be honest!
Nothing's changed.
You have to keep undercover.
I just take myself out of that zone.
I'm a Faithful when I'm with everybody.
I don't really know how to investigate properly, though.
Well, I think we'll have to all be very careful.
You have to be careful what you share at all times. To others.
To others. Cos you never know who you're talking to.
We know that someone's going to be murdered,
and obviously we don't know how many Traitors there are.
There's six of us here, so the chances... I'm not being rude.
Yeah. But one of us could be a Traitor. Yeah, yeah, yeah. Exactly.
And it ain't me! Yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah.
It could.
But they could be sat together in there, couldn't they?
MATT SIGHS This is confusing me already.
LAUGHTER
Matt, I feel like he's not as slack as he lets on.
It's an easy card, innit?
Just play completely dumb and nobody will suspect.
How are you feeling after that? We're just saying that...
I was disappointed. I actually wanted to be a Traitor.
No!
THEY LAUGH
So I was going, "Go on, Claudia!" At least you're honest!
Yeah, I'm very honest about this.
It's game time. It's game time. It is game time. Get strapped in.
I feel shook. I'm vulnerable.
THEY LAUGH
I'm panicking!
My heart's going, "Pitter-patter, pitter-patter, pitter-patter!"
My main objective was to try and figure out
who I can make friends with that are outgoing that everybody's
going to see me making friends with, cos then when I murder them,
people would never think it was me.
It's just so early to guess that I think I might just...
I'm just going to keep trusting... You're going to drive yourself fucking mad.
..until they give me a reason not to. I'm the opposite.
I'm going to trust no-one until...they give me a reason to trust them.
You kind of... You obviously want to figure out who it is,
but you don't want to be too strategic
that they get threatened by you and then you're done here.
For sure. Alyssa seems like a really honest person,
which could be really helpful to help us find the Traitors.
I think we've just got to accept that we have...
Unless one of you's a Traitor, we have no power over what happens
when they meet. We just have to... We just have to take it in.
That's the scary part.
I'm in my role now. It's method acting.
I was just sat in Mothers Meeting with all the rest of them
and they're talking really serious stuff... I know. It's too much?
Is she the black lady called Fay?
Who was sat next to you? Yes. I saw her, like, proper scanning the room and looking at everyone.
And then I saw her talking... Oh! And I thought,
"Oh, my God, just have a day off, love," like...
Amanda was there. I'm not going to...
I know it's not Amanda.
Yeah. It's not Amanda.
I look her dead in the eyes and it was not her.
I was like, "It's not her." I don't think it's her.
No way.
I mean, if it is, I'll be gutted.
Yeah, I'll be very surprised.
All right, everyone, gather round.
Very, very good outfits.
It is time for your first mission.
Your prize fund currently is at zero.
But remember, it's up to you all collectively to build that prize pot
and win up to Â£120,000.
Yes?
Sounds good.
THEY CHEER
And all the drama, quietly weeping inside, that is gone,
because it doesn't matter whether you're a Traitor
or a Faithful. On the missions,
you work as a team and you build up that prize fund.
Are you ready?
ALL: Yes!
OK. Go and get in the cars and I'll meet you there.
THEY CHEER
I'm terrified. The drama, the drama.
Woohoo!
OK, we're off. OK, let's go!
I'm so excited to see what Claudia's got in store for us.
Big question - who do we think's going to go out first?
I mean, I think people are going to target the people who do
the worst on challenges.
Who do you think is...? If we keep the price money of zero, anybody
could be Traitors or Faithful, it really doesn't matter.
You need to bring the money home.
I see a boat, guys. We're not going out in that, are we?
Oh, I don't know. It's not canoeing or something?
What are these two things? Look, look, look.
They look like giant deers.
What are they?
Shit's just got real.
Oh, my God.
I'm so scared!
I'm looking at water and fire.
Oh, my God!
Are you ready for your first mission?
ALL: Yeah!
Now, the aim of the game is ignite these magnificent beasts -
you've got 30 minutes - and put Â£15,000 into your prize fund.
THEY CHEERS
But you are racing against the clock.
In order to get your beast lit on time, you're going
to have to split into two teams of ten.
Six of you from each team will remain here.
You have to find and collect all the pieces of rope, dip them
into flammable liquid, and tie them together to make a long fuse
The minute you've done that sound, your foghorn,
and your fellow team-mates, who are further down the loch,
will row back with a flaming torch.
And you will light the beast.
But if you don't do it in time, you get nothing.
As you can see, it is windy, it is choppy.
Really think about your four that you're going to put in the boat.
MAN: Oh, my God!
Please, players, get into two teams.
Can I be on this team, mate?
Who's rowing? Is there four rowers here?
Yeah. You go that side. We'll go this side. You row on that side.
It's a big group of people and you have to pool your resources
together to get the biggest amount of money,
and I noticed the young alpha male boys all congregating together.
Have we got ten?
You try not to take it personally, but you kind of go
Maybe they think you can't do the things that they can do.
One, two, three, four, five. Yeah, ten. Right.
Good. I like it. You're decisive.
You are blue and you are green.
The first team that lights the beast gets Â£10,000 in the prize fund.
The team that comes second gets Â£5,000.
But the Traitors are watching,
and they need any excuse to murder somebody tonight.
So pull your weight.
I'm with you in spirit.
Obviously, I'll be having a massage and eating shortbread,
but I'm with you.
Good luck.
Your time...
..starts...
..now!
Guys, we need one dipper.
Fine. Get the rope, set it on fire, throw it over there.
Let's just go, let's just go.
So six people had to be on land,
find rope, dip them in this fluid to make it ignite and connect
to this massive wicker statue.
And once the land team did that, then we had the flame on the other
side to be able to go across and light the fuse
to light the wicker man.
Go on, greens! Come on!
Go on, guys!
Right, there's one here. There's one here already.
Let's go! Yeah, yeah. Come on.
It was crazy. I mean, it was all go, go, go.
It was a lot of pressure to untie everything, and using your fingers.
So it was all really, you know, intense.
Hey, guys? Guys? There's one there. One there.
Come on, guys! We've fucking got this!
Oh... Remember, the fuse won't be ready until it's primed
with that flammable liquid.
What the fuck is going on?
We can't open it.
Why can't we open it?
We need to be looking for a Key for the flammable liquid. What?!
We didn't realise that in order to open the barrels,
we had to find a key.
Guys! They key! Key!
How many are left?
So we found the chain, which weighed probably three times as much as me.
And then we had to go through the keys to get the lid off.
Twist it. Twist it. No, it's not the right one, then,
because there's other keys. Right... Yes!
The green team got the first key that they tried,
opened it and we were there still ten minutes later trying keys.
Right, let's make a note of what ones we've tried, right?
So we lost a little bit of time there.
Yes! Yes, we've got it. We've got it.
OK, right.
Teams, a third of your time has gone.
Come on! Just everyone get tying.
The green team are so far ahead.
Come on, blues!
Come on, Andrea! Come on, Nicky!
Someone with two hands needs to tie it!
I know a lot of people were quite impressed with Nicky
and how she was pulling the team together.
Get out there, get tying them, right?
But a mission isn't just all about the screaming and the leading.
We need people up there with two hands tying. Right, I'll go.
You can do more than one at one time.
Go, go get tying!
I was just sort of directing people,
just shouting, basically, at everyone, loudly.
Come on, just everyone get tying!
I'll probably get murdered now.
Shit, we're so close!
Come on, guys, we're doing so well.
The green team are nearly finished with their fuse.
I've got one more!
Come on, you low. We only need a couple more!
Shit! We're there, we're there.
Smashed it.
I'm really proud of us, because it happened really fast.
We... I don't know how we managed to do it so quickly.
Yes, yes, yes, yes, yes.
Sound it. Sound it! That's why I'm here!
Matt...
FOGHORN SOUNDS
Green team, go! Yes, come on!
Right, OK. Seriously? Blues are taking a while. Come on!
So the green team have blown the foghorn, so their team-mates
can start rowing, holding the torch.
Ready? You guys good?
Get in, get in, get in, get in.
And pull! Right hand in. Pull them both in. There we go, yeah.
And pull! Yeah?
And pull! Very good, let's get a rhythm. And pull!
WOMEN SHOUT ENCOURAGEMENT Bring it home, baby!
In! Yep.
Hold it. That's it. There we go.
Just calm. And in.
I didn't want to stand out as much as I did.
In. Both of you at the same time, please.
I really want to be middle of the pack.
That was part of my strategy from the beginning.
Never be the loudest guy in the room.
And the first chance I'm given...
..I take the lead.
Oh, come on, blues! What are you doing?
Be honest, Will. Everyone who's old is on our team.
Yeah, but that's the brain side, man.
But clearly brain side doesn't equate to results, though, does it?
It's always a little annoying being on the losing team,
but it's important to remember the teams weren't fair to begin with.
The green team were younger, they're more vibrant,
so we were disadvantaged in many ways.
But, yeah. Annoying.
Use your eyes!
Seriously, man!
I'm try to stretch the cords we have.
Yeah? OK.
We put all these knots together and then we realised
we're still short to light the fuse. What are we going to do?
And we started just stretching the knots a little.
I think... You know what?
What? Just keep going.
Guys, half your time has gone.
That's it. And both. In, that's it, brilliant! In...
I can see the boat.
I can see the flame.
The green boat is here.
Keep rowing, guys! You're doing amazing!
Yes! Yes, yes, yes, yes!
CRIES OF ENCOURAGEMENT
Guys...
GREEN TEAM SCREAMS AND CHEERS
Watch out!
So the green team have burnt their beast.
The clock is still ticking.
They don't have long.
We're nearly there, come on. Keep going, keep going.
Keep going! We're nearly there. No, we're not, we're not.
Yes, we are.
Wait a minute... Tie a knot!
Tie a knot!
FOG HORN SOUNDS
You can go! Go on, John!
Come on, Johnny boy!
Mission itself, the green team definitely did better.
We were just waiting on the blue team.
I wasn't sure what the error was there, but they took a bloody
long time, that's for sure.
Push. Forward!
Come on!
They don't have long. Come on!
CHEERS OF ENCOURAGEMENT
Why are they going that way?
Wait, wait, wait. We're going the wrong way.
Shit, shit. Shit! Wait, wait, wait, wait.
Wait, wait, wait. You're pushing the paddle away from you.
You've got three minutes. COME ON!
Keep going, you're doing well, guys. You're doing really well.
Keep going.
Heave-ho! Heave-ho! Heave-ho! Heave-ho!
Keep it steady.
I don't know if it was the intensity of the mission, but it made me gag.
And as soon as I gagged, I was gone. It wasn't my brightest hour.
I'm hoping the other players won't hold it against me.
John, run! John, run!
You've got seconds remaining. Move, John!
THEY CHANT ENCOURAGEMENT
CHEERING
So both beasts are lit within the timeframe.
They've banked Â£15,000.
Absolutely buzzing.
I want the money, money, money!
CHEERING
Well done. Green, you came first.
Blue team, well done. You did it just in the nick of time.
Very well done. What you want now is a pina colada... Pina colada!
..and a ready salted crisp.
I can provide everything we need for a party.
I will see you at the castle. Off you go, off you go.
It was a once in a lifetime experience. It was, yeah.
It's not every day you burn a wicker man, is it?
LAUGHTER
I think that everyone worked together really... I mean, because we got 15 grand.
Well, I seen a little bit of a different side to Imran. Did you? Yeah.
Even when we were waiting for the other people, he was getting really, really frustrated.
There's something about him that's just off.
I think everyone played to their strengths, though.
Like you shouting at everyone worked, know what I mean?
Sometimes you just need direction.
Ivan's probably more calm and collected.
I'm like, "Do this!" Drill Sergeant.
But who do we think's going to be murdered?
There's Traitors in a couple of these cars. Mm.
I did see something suspicious. Oh? Go on.
So, you know, when we raised our glasses? One person didn't raise their glass.
Who was that? It was Nicky.
Nicky didn't do this? She didn't raise her glass, and she...
That could be an unconscious thing, yeah.
I don't like the idea of thinking... Like I have...
I have a few people who I think are more likely
to be Traitor than Faithful
and, like, Nicky, really isn't one of them.
It's a natural instinct when everybody says,
"Cheese!" even with a camera, you smile.
It means her brain was somewhere else.
I don't want to think about it is my thing.
We just have to find out who the Traitors are add get them out.
We've all just won that money together.
And they've killed... Now they've got to kill somebody.
They've now got to take that guilt on.
So that's going to eat away at them slowly.
Tonight's going to be hard for them.
Oh, guys, let's just get glammed up and enjoy this cocktail party!
Get your bosoms out, ladies, we're going to get down tonight!
Ha-ha! Whee!
Ooh-hoo-hoo! Oh, it's nice, actually. It's nice.
Oh-ho-ho!
Faithful Fancy, Traitors Tipple.
Oh, no, because I want that one, but I'm not a Traitor.
There's an easy way of fixing this.
No, I don't... Oh... Are we allowed to do that?
Oh, lovely!
Well, cheers, guys. Well done to winning Â£15,000.
15K! 15K.
Wahey!
Oh, I could murder a cocktail.
A party's going to be great.
It's so nice to get dressed up as well.
Cheers. Did you try my drink? Yeah, I tried to see how strong it was.
Alex is great.
She's lovely.
You've got your beanie on. I know, I'm happy. Over the moon.
I just want to tell the lovely people...
She's got good teeth, good eyes, good face.
She's easy to talk to.
It's just all good.
I think you look better without hair.
No, it's a rumour.
I already know what Matt's weakness is going to be.
He really fancies Alex.
No comment, Officer!
Yay! The party can finally start.
Now it can. Go, girls.
And boys!
This is going down really well.
Cheers. Thank you, cheers.
Hello?
Players? Claudia's coming.
I swear to God, Claudia's is about to drop a ball.
Here they come!
Gather in.
Are you enjoying your cocktails?
ALL: Yes.
You did brilliantly today.
You deserve a great night.
So drink, bond, have fun.
I don't want to get all Cinderella about it, but when that grandfather
clock chimes at the end of the evening,
you have to leave immediately
because it means the murdering hour has begun.
Tonight, the Traitors will commit their first murder.
If you are murdered tonight, you will never be seen again,
and you'll be out of the game forever.
So, on that delightful note...
..enjoy your drinks, enjoy each other,
and I will see most of you at breakfast tomorrow.
Night-night.
Check.
That killed the mood.
Murder on the dance floor? Once your clock strikes,
someone's going to lose their slipper for good.
CLOCK TICKS
Like, if you were a Traitor right now, from their perspective,
what are they looking at? Like, probably who's going to be most valuable.
Like, even for the Traitors, it's going to be, like, really, like,
just reverse psychology, isn't it?
I think we're all really apprehensive about the first murder.
Nobody wants to be the first.
And, yeah, I would be very disappointed.
I'll see you guys soon. See you in a bit. Bye!
She's adorable. Really genuine people.
I don't think that about everybody, but I do think
that about her. Who do you feel is being disingenuous, then?
Fay's not genuine. She does my fucking head in.
Fay, she's, like, a bit too, like, aware of what's going on.
Like, her eyes were darting, like, left and right,
constantly watching everyone.
And I'm just like, "Love, give you eyeballs a rest.
"you're going to give them whiplash."
We all want to be tactical,
I mean, we want to get them out at the same time,
but you have to think how tactical can you go
that you don't want to seem like a threat?
The only way we can... I'm saying "we" like we're all...
LAUGHTER
What?! Whoa, whoa, whoa, whoa, whoa. That's below the belt.
Theo called out Imran.
And I don't think Imran's a Traitor, but I have nothing
wrong with Theo calling out other players at this time,
so I'll support him with that because it makes me a bit safer.
Well, I've just been calling people out left, right and centre, me. Have you?!
I've literally just been in the billiards room
and called out Imran. Yeah. Fully...
Fully called him out. No?! He literally crumbled in himself.
I think I think the quote was,
"Well, that was just below the belt."
They're all nervous.
It's gone from a quick drink to business, but there's names
being mentioned and thrown around,
so it's starting to get a bit tense down there.
I'm a gay man. I'm used to calling people out!
You need to be careful. You don't want to... Like, you don't want to die.
I don't want you dying tonight. I don't want you to die, Theo.
If I'm not here for breakfast tomorrow, I had a nice time. Same.
Yeah, me too. I really enjoyed it. Me too.
Everyone's, like, done something...
I just knew that we've got.
CLOCK CHIMES
Oh! Shit!
CLOCK CHIMES
There we go.
All right, guys.
Let's not sit here. Cheers, girls. It was a really lovely experience. What will be, will be.
CLOCK CHIMES
See you, guys. Much love, you guys have all been amazing.
I hope to see you tomorrow. Much love, much love. I love you. Much love.
For everyone else, it's just a normal gong, let's go home.
But for us, it's time to murder.
I'm quite excited to meet the other Traitors
and get the murder done, and get one out.
Just feel like it's my game now.
I have that power to kind of kill off who I want.
To be honest, it's thrilling.
CLOCK CHIMES
As the clocks have chimed, it can only mean one thing.
The Traitors are ready to murder.
Now, to keep the Traitors' identity a secret,
all the players are taken to their individual lodgings
where they're not allowed to see or talk to anyone.
But for the Traitors, the night has only just begun.
You are about to enter the Traitors' Turret.
Before I hand you your cloak and the identity of your fellow
Traitors are revealed,
I'm going to ask you to take the Traitor's oath.
Do you promise to lie and deceive throughout the game?
Totally, I do.
Are you willing to murder a fellow player every night?
I do.
And do you vow to keep your identity and the identity
of your fellow Traitors a secret?
I promise. OK. This is yours.
You are now officially a Traitor.
Happy murdering.
Thank you.
Off you go. I hope you're happy.
I was standing there, I was obviously the first person there.
So I'm like, "Who's coming through this door?"
It was just knowing that the person stood across from me is a fellow
Traitor, and they have been lying to me all day, and I to them.
Oh, my God! No?! No!
Alyssa, the, like,
the fake vulnerable person.
She's, like, been acting.
She's playing the game massively well.
You are, like, off the radar.
I think we're in a really sick position.
Like, nobody knows.
I haven't heard your name once. I haven't heard your name.
Once, I swear on my life.
I think we can win, man, I... We have to.
He's playing the happy chappy that we all know and love.
He doesn't really care about the game, and he's in it for a laugh.
Wow, I was surprised.
We sat there and blamed Imran!
SHE LAUGHS
We played them! I'm so glad I can talk to someone about this,
because the amount of shit I've said...
CROWS CAW
OMINOUS MUSIC PLAYS
Amanda! LAUGHING: Amanda!
ALYSSA SQUEALS
Oh, my God!
When we all looked at each other, I thought,
"Great, we've got a good team here."
In terms of Intel, we're covering a lot of bases between the three of us.
Definitely.
You've got your little group, you've got your group
and I've got my little group.
It's like we're invisible.
The Traitors' job is to murder.
I know tonight is just going to be so tricky, but at the same
time, we have to do what we have to do.
Listen, these are the suspects at the moment, right? Fay...
Nicky. ..Nicky.
And... ALL: Imran.
They're the three everyone's going for,
we can't kill any of them today because they're going to get banished tomorrow anyway. Yeah.
All I'm seeing is that's three nights we're safe from the Round Table.
Yes, yes. Yes. Yep, yep, yep, yep.
We need to figure out who they hate for them to think,
"Oh, they've definitely killed them."
Yeah. We need to be a step ahead each time, though. Yeah.
We may need to make a statement tonight. I know.
A big one, like, "Rah."
I love Theo, but he would be a really great ploy in this,
I'm sorry.
Theo is the popular kid around here. Yes.
That's the truth.
He actually confronted Imran today. Yeah.
If we took out Theo, people are going to go to Imran. Yeah.
This is what you've got to think, right?
We're going to kill Theo,
they're going to banish Imran.
Imran is going to stand up and say, "Faithful."
They're going to be like, "Well, who killed Theo?" Mm-hm.
They have no ties to us, though.
Imran was like, "Yeah, we was at a disadvantage because we had all the older people."
You're right. So I was going to delete an older person thinking
that they'll be like, "Oh, my God, it's definitely him because he only
"cares about the strong, for the... To make the money."
Yeah.
A lot of people had said that Andrea
wasn't the strongest competitor.
She'd be a good one to take out because... Everyone loves...
Everyone loves her. Yeah. I also find her a threat.
Yeah.
And also I was thinking cliques.
The young lot. Matt and Aaron.
Are they a threat, do you think?
I don't think Aaron is...
But I think cliques are a threat.
I don't think they're a threat individually, a clique is a threat. Yes.
We've got Aisha and we've got Alex, who's very close to them as well.
Herd mentality. That's four votes.
Yes. Yeah.
Cliques are so dangerous at this point in time.
You need to break them up.
And Aisha, right?
I promise you, I can tell she wanted to be a Traitor. She did.
She'll do anything to just to find out who that is. Yeah.
Do we take Aisha out...
..or do we take Theo out?
Or Andrea?
It's got to be, I think.
Yeah. God...
I thought it'd be easier saying that, than it is.
So how are you going to feel about it, committing
that first murder?
Do you know what...? Absolutely fine.
It's them or us.
It's them.
Who's going to sign the death warrant?
You can make the first one.
OK.
I was actually shaking.
My heart is just like... HE CLAPS QUICKLY
# With a taste of your lips, I'm on a ride
# You're toxic, I'm slippin' under
# With a taste of a poison paradise... #
How do you feel?
There's just so much power in our hands, isn't there?
There's so much power. And it feels so great.
It does feel great.
We have to do what we have to do to survive.
We've committed our first murder,
and I think we've made the right decision.
They're not going to catch up with us. No, not at all.
Good luck. Good luck, guys.
The person we've chosen to murder is going to cause a ripple effect
of people voting for each other,
and take the eyes completely off us.
I really love this person,
but the Traitor's job is to murder.
Tomorrow's breakfast?
Ooh, it's going to kick off.
# With a taste of your lips, I'm on a ride
# You're toxic
# Taste of a poison paradise... #
This murder is going to absolutely throw this castle into chaos.
Next time on The Traitors...
This game is insane.
I'm not a Traitor.
We need to channel this upset.
There are Traitors in your midst...
Do you actually still think I'm a Traitor? Yes or no?
We all think everyone's Traitors.
..and now is your chance to kick them out.
It's war. 100%.
